Impermanence (3rd)

Tatiyaaniccasutta

from: 14. Burning Chaff

Impermanence (3rd)

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, you should give up desire and greed for what is impermanent. And what is impermanent?

Form is impermanent; you should give up desire and greed for it.

Feeling …

Perception …

Choices …

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

You should give up desire and greed for what is impermanent.”
