Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN22: Connected Discourses on the Aggregates

SN22:147 Contemplating Impermanence

1At Sāvatthī.[n.229] The next three suttas correspond to 22:40–42. Ee has omitted the text of SN22.148, apparently by oversight as the title is correct while the text is that of SN22.149. Accordingly, in this saṁyutta all the following sutta numbers in Ee are short by one. "Bhikkhus, for a clansman who has gone forth out of faith, this is what accords with the Dhamma: he should dwell contemplating impermanence in form … as abovesn.iii.180 he is freed from suffering, I say."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Saddhāpabbajitassa, bhikkhave, kulaputtassa ayamanudhammo hoti – yaṁ rūpe aniccānupassī vihareyya. Vedanāya … saññāya … saṅkhāresu … viññāṇe aniccānupassī vihareyya … pe … ‘parimuccati dukkhasmā’ti vadāmī"ti.

Dvādasamaṁ.
