Liable to ImpermanenceAniccadhammasutta
At Sāvatthī.Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
“Sir, they speak of having ‘impermanent nature’.“‘aniccadhammo, aniccadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati. What is of impermanent nature?”Katamo nu kho, bhante, aniccadhammo”ti?
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are of impermanent nature.“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, aniccadhammo, vedanā aniccadhammo, saññā aniccadhammo, saṅkhārā aniccadhammo, viññāṇaṁ aniccadhammo.
Seeing this …Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
