Subhasutta

mn99:12.1 “Suppose there was a person blind from birth. They couldn’t see sights that are dark or bright, or blue, yellow, red, or magenta. They couldn’t see even and uneven ground, or the stars, or the moon and sun.

mn99:12.2 They’d say:

mn99:12.3 ‘There’s no such thing as dark and bright sights, and no one who sees them.

mn99:12.4 There’s no such thing as blue,

mn99:12.5 yellow,

mn99:12.6 red,

mn99:12.7 magenta,

mn99:12.8 even and uneven ground,

mn99:12.9 stars,

mn99:12.10 moon and sun, and no one who sees these things.

mn99:12.11 I don’t know it or see it,

mn99:12.12 therefore it doesn’t exist.’

mn99:12.13 Would they be speaking rightly?”

mn99:12.14 “No, worthy Gotama.

mn99:12.15 There are such things as dark and bright sights, and one who sees them.

mn99:12.16 There is blue,

mn99:12.17 yellow,

mn99:12.18 red,

mn99:12.19 magenta,

mn99:12.20 even and uneven ground,

mn99:12.21 stars,

mn99:12.22 moon and sun, and one who sees these things.

mn99:12.23 So it’s not right to say this: ‘I don’t know it or see it,

mn99:12.24 therefore it doesn’t exist.’”
