Itivuttaka 61

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: “Monks, there are these three eyes. Which three? The eye of flesh, the divine eye,1 & the eye of discernment. These are the three eyes.”

The eye of flesh,

the eye divine,

the eye of discernment

unsurpassed:

these three eyes were taught

by the Superlative Person.

The arising of the eye of flesh

is the path to the eye divine.

When knowledge arises,

the eye of discernment unsurpassed:

whoever gains this eye

is–from all suffering & stress–

released.

Note
