At Sāvatthī. “What do you think, Rāhula? Is form permanent or impermanent?” “Impermanent, sir.” … “… feeling … perception … choices … Is consciousness permanent or impermanent?” “Impermanent, sir.” … “Seeing this, a learned noble disciple becomes disillusioned with form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness. Being disillusioned they become dispassionate. Being dispassionate they’re freed. When freed, they know ‘it is freed’. They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’”
