from: 17. Sixty Abbreviated Texts

Desire for the Impermanent Interior

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

The eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are impermanent: you should give up desire for them. You should give up desire for what is impermanent.”
