2. Impermanence
15. That Which is Impermanent
At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, form is impermanent. What’s impermanent is suffering. What’s suffering is not-self. And what’s not-self should be truly seen with proper understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’ Feeling is impermanent … Perception is impermanent … Choices are impermanent … Consciousness is impermanent. What’s impermanent is suffering. What’s suffering is not-self. And what’s not-self should be truly seen with proper understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’ Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”
