The All


Monks, I will teach you the all. Listen to this.

And what, monks, is the all? The eye and forms, the ear and sounds, the nose and smells, the tongue and taste, the body and sensations, the mind and its contents. That is called the all.

If anyone, monks, should say—"Having rejected this all, I shall make known another all"—that would be a mere empty boast on his part. If he were questioned, he would not be able to reply, and, further, he would end up frustrated. Why? Because, monks, that all would not be within his domain.
