The Buddha teaches on the six sense bases regarding the exterior as suffering in the three times, guiding disciples toward discernment of sense experience and release from clinging.
“Rūpā, bhikkhave, dukkhā atītānāgatā; ko pana vādo paccuppannānaṁ.
Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītesu rūpesu anapekkho hoti; anāgate rūpe nābhinandati; paccuppannānaṁ rūpānaṁ nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti …pe….
Ekādasamaṁ.
Reference Translation by Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0).
“Rūpā, bhikkhave, dukkhā atītānāgatā;
“Mendicants, sights of the past and future are suffering,
ko pana vādo paccuppannānaṁ.
let alone the present. …”
Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītesu rūpesu anapekkho hoti;
anāgate rūpe nābhinandati; paccuppannānaṁ rūpānaṁ nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti …pe….
Ekādasamaṁ.
