So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. There the Buddha addressed the mendicants: “Mendicants!” “Venerable sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this:

“Mendicants, the eye 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.’ The ear is impermanent. … The nose is impermanent. … The tongue is impermanent. … The body is impermanent. … The mind 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, a learned noble disciple becomes disillusioned with the eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. 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.’”
