What are the suttas in which the Buddha describes suffering as "burning"
Upvote:4
You may be thinking of the Fire Sermon (SN 35.28).
It says that the senses and so on are aflame ... aflame with lust, hatred, and delusion.
In more detail, it says the following are aflame:
- Sense-organ, sense object, sense-consciousness, and sense-contact
- Any feeling[s] arising from the senses ... including suffering (dukkha), but also sukha
... and aflame with:
- The three poisons
- Also birth, ageing, and death
- And sorrow and so on
