"Insofar as it disintegrates, monk, it is called the âworld.â Now what disintegrates? The eye disintegrates. Forms disintegrate. Consciousness at the eye disintegrates. Contact at the eye disintegrates. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the eye â experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain â that too disintegrates.
"The ear disintegrates. Sounds disintegrateâŚ
"The nose disintegrates. Aromas disintegrateâŚ
"The tongue disintegrates. Tastes disintegrateâŚ
"The body disintegrates. Tactile sensations disintegrateâŚ
"The intellect disintegrates. Ideas disintegrate. Consciousness at the intellect consciousness disintegrates. Contact at the intellect disintegrates. And whatever there is that arises in dependence on contact at the intellect â experienced as pleasure, pain or neither-pleasure-nor-pain â that too disintegrates.
âInsofar as it disintegrates, it is called the âworld.ââ sn35.82 Loka Sutta: The World
The Blessed One said: "And what is the origination of the world? Dependent on the eye & forms there arises eye-consciousness. The meeting of the three is contact. From contact as a requisite condition comes feeling. From feeling as a requisite condition comes craving. From craving as a requisite condition comes clinging/sustenance. From clinging/sustenance as a requisite condition comes becoming. From becoming as a requisite condition comes birth. From birth as a requisite condition, then aging & death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair come into play. This is the origination of the world. sn12.44 Loka Sutta: The World
That in the world by which one is a perceiver of the world, a conceiver of the worldâthis is called the world in the Noble Oneâs Discipline. And what, friends, is that in the world by which one is a perceiver of the world, a conceiver of the world? The eye is that in the world by which one is a perceiver of the world, a conceiver of the world . The ear ⌠The nose ⌠The tongue ⌠The body ⌠The mind is that in the world by which one is a perceiver of the world, a conceiver of the world. That in the world by which one is a perceiver of the world, a conceiver of the worldâthis is called the world in the Noble Oneâs Discipline. sn35.116 SuttaCentral
-
In the world there are Internal phenomena which when grasped with wrong view are taken to be self, are self-referable and personal for this or that person.
-
In the world there are External phenomena which when grasped with wrong view are taken to be self, are self-referable and personal for another person.
-
A person consists of 6 elements, four primary elements + space element and consciousness element.
-
In the world Consciousness element does not come into play everywhere, does not arise anywhere, it arises only due to certain causes and conditions. It arises ie in motherâs womb for this or that being.
So as i think about it in the world there are phenomena which do not have consciousness, these consist only of the four great elements and space (perhaps it is appropriate here to add derivatives but afaik this is incorrect because the derivatives of great elements are supports for consciousness);
The point is that whether internal or external, Form [Four Great Elements] and Space are impermanent, impermanence is associated with change, change is associated with stress, therefore nothing in the world is to be regarded as pleasant.
