Brittle

Pabhaṅgusutta

from: 3. The Burden

Brittle

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you what is brittle and what is not brittle. Listen …

And what is brittle? What is not brittle? Form is brittle, but its cessation, settling, and ending is not brittle.

Feeling … perception … choices … consciousness is brittle, but its cessation, settling, and ending is not brittle.”
