SN 3.25 The Burden Sutta
At Savatthi…the Blessed said, “Followers, I shall teach you the burden
[1st Noble Truth], the carrier of the burden [the sufferer], the taking
up of the burden [2nd Noble Truth], and the laying down of the burden [3rd
Noble Truth].
And what is the burden [1st Noble Truth],? The five aggregates which
are taken hold of is suffering. Which five? The form aggregate which is
taken hold of, the feeling aggregate which is taken hold of, the perception
aggregate which is taken hold of, the experiential aggregate which is taken
hold of, the sentient aggregate which is taken hold of. This is the designation
for ‘the burden’.
And who is the burden carrier [the sufferer]? The pudgala of such name
and clan. This is the designation for the ‘burden carrier’ followers.
What is the taking up the burden [2nd Noble Truth]? It is clinging,
which leads to rebirth and has bondage with accompanying lusts leading
to asundering here and thither. That is to say: there are sensual
cravings/agitation, becoming (other than Self) by cravings/agitation, and
(re)unbecoming by cravings/agitation (transmigration).
. This is the designation for ‘taking up the burden’.
And what is the laying down of the burden [3rd Noble Truth]? It is
the complete subjugation of lusts and cravings, and resigning return into
the supernal, being emancipation from desires. This is the designation
for ‘laying down the burden’. This is what the Blessed Lord said. Having
done so, the fortunate one, the master said this:
“The five aggregates are indeed the burden [1st Noble Truth], the pudgala
is he who is the burden carrier [the sufferer]. When taking up the burden,
this (designates) suffering in the world [2nd Noble Truth], laying down
the burden is blissful (Nibbana) [3rd Noble Truth].”
“Having laid down the weighty burden (aggregates), and without having
taken up another burden; (the pudgala) has extracted clinging and its root
(avijja/ignorance), this is the eternal Soul, utter Purification.
