Saṁyutta Nikāya — Discursos Conectados — 22.114 — Knowledge

1At Sāvatthī.

2Seated to one side, that mendicant said to the Buddha:

3“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘knowledge’. What is knowledge? And how is a knowing one defined?”

4“Mendicant, it’s when a learned noble disciple understands form, its origin, its cessation, and the practice that leads to its cessation. They understand feeling … perception … choices … consciousness, its origin, its cessation, and the practice that leads to its cessation.

5This is called knowledge. And this is how a knowing one is defined.”
