Impermanence

Aniccasutta

EN
At Sāvatthī. Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha: “Sir, they speak of ‘impermanence’. What has impermanent nature?”
PL
Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “‘aniccaṁ, aniccan’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamaṁ nu kho, bhante, aniccan”ti?
EN
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are impermanent. Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
PL
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, aniccaṁ, vedanā aniccā, saññā aniccā, saṅkhārā aniccā, viññāṇaṁ aniccaṁ. Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti. Tatiyaṁ.
