Aniccasutta
Impermanence
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“‘aniccaṁ, aniccan’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘impermanence’.
Katamaṁ nu kho, bhante, aniccan”ti?
What is impermanence?”
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, aniccaṁ, vedanā aniccā, saññā aniccā, saṅkhārā aniccā, viññāṇaṁ aniccaṁ.
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are impermanent.
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
Seeing this …
nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
