To Sunakkhatta -
Sunakkhatta Sutta
The Buddha discusses
with Sunakkhatta the
problem of someone
overestimating his or
her level of attainment.
He is basically saying
that if one really knows
the cause of bondage
(which is craving), then
one would not do things
that arouse one’s mind
toward any object of
attachment. There are
those who say they are
intent only on Nibbāna
but their actions are
not congruent with their
statement. This is a
very good basic
prescription from the
Surgeon (the Buddha),
which is essentially the
heart of the teaching on
how to heal the wound of
suffering.

The Way to the
Imperturbable - Āneñjasappāya Sutta
The Buddha explains the
approaches to various
levels of higher
meditative states
culminating in Nibbāna.
He points out how one
can get caught in
clinging at any of these
levels. The
imperturbable refers to
the 4th jhāna and the
1st two immaterial
states.

If someone claims to
have attained final
knowledge, the Buddha
expounds on how that
person should be
questioned, and on what
the nature of his or her
answer should be. The
discourse includes an
indepth description of
the Buddha’s liberated
mind, thereby showing
every possible way that
clinging can arise and
be extinguished.

In this discourse,

consciousness to be

means for the mind to be

consciousness to be
agitated due to
clinging, and how to end
these difficulties. This
