Saṁyutta Nikāya — Discursos Conectados — 22.46 — Impermanence (2nd)

1At Sāvatthī.

2“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 right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’

3Feeling is impermanent …

4Perception is impermanent …

5Choices are impermanent …

6Consciousness is impermanent. What’s impermanent is suffering. What’s suffering is not-self. And what’s not-self should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’

7Seeing truly with right understanding like this, they have no theories about the first beginning. Not having theories about the first beginning, they have no theories about the final end. Not having theories about the final end, they don’t obstinately stick to them. Not misapprehending, the mind becomes dispassionate toward form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness; it’s freed from defilements by not grasping.

8Being free, it’s stable. Being stable, it’s content. Being content, they’re not anxious. Not being anxious, they personally become extinguished.

9They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’”
