Things to be Understood1
Thus have I heard:
The Exalted One was once staying near Sāvatthī
at the Jeta Grove in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.
And there the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:
"Brethren!"
"Master!" responded those brethren.
The Exalted One said:
"Brethren, I will tell you of the things to be understood,
of understanding,
and of the person who has understood.
And what, brethren, are the things2 to be understood?
Body, brethren, is a thing to be understood,
feeling, is a thing to be understood,
perception, is a thing to be understood,
the activities, is a thing to be understood,
consciousness is a thing to be understood.
These, brethren, are the things to be understood.
And what, brethren, is understanding?
It is the destruction of lust,
the destruction of hatred,
the destruction of illusion.
This, brethren, is called understanding.
And who, brethren, is the person who has understood?
Such and such a venerable one,
of such a name,
of such a clan.
This one, brethren, is the person who has understood.
