[1][pts][olds] Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthi in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.[ed1]

"Bhikkhus, I will teach you the diversity of elements. Listen to that and attend closely, I will spaak."

"And what, bhikkhus, is the diversity of elements?

The form element;

the sound element;

the odour element;

the taste element;

the tactile-object element;

the mental-phenomena element.

This, bhikkhus, is called the diversity in elements."

 


[ed1] Abbreviated Nidana expanded throughout this samyutta.
