liable to fall

Vayadhammasutta

from: 2. About Māra (2nd)

liable to fall

At Sāvatthī.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“Sir, they speak of a ‘liability to fall’. What has a liability to fall?”

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness have a liability to fall.

Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
