Dear Dhamma Friends
I came across this sutta and would like to know the translation of the verse below
” Evameva kho, bhikkhave, cakkhusmiṁ sati cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati ajjhattaṁ sukhaṁ dukkhaṁ …pe…”

Specifically, regarding ‘ cakkhusmiṁ sati ‘
cakkhu = eye or vision or seeing
mim = not sure what this means
cakkhusmiṁ = could this mean towards the eye / vision
sati = remembering / attention / ability to recall / memory

Would appreciate your interpretation

Thank you

Thank you

[Lal]

“cakkhusmiṁ” means “with regard to something seen”
“sati” is attention on it
“cakkhusamphassapaccayā” generation of “san” (lobha, dosa, moha) regarding what is seen

If one likes what is seen, that generates a sukha vedana (and one may crave it); if it is disliked one may generate a dukkha vedana (and rejects it); if one is not sure about what is seen (avijja) one may be confused about it (vicikicca).

The key is to learn about “samphassa”: “Search Results for: samphassa“
