Impermanence

Aniccasutta

from: 14. Burning Chaff

Impermanence

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, you should give up desire for what is impermanent.

And what is impermanent? Form is impermanent; you should give up desire for it.

Feeling …

Perception …

Choices …

Consciousness is impermanent; you should give up desire for it.

You should give up desire for what is impermanent.”
