SN 23.14 Naturally Anicca – Aniccadhammasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘naturally anicca’.

“‘aniccadhammo, aniccadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.

What is naturally anicca?

Katamo nu kho, bhante, aniccadhammo”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, saṅkhāra, and consciousness are naturally anicca.

“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, aniccadhammo, vedanā aniccadhammo, saññā aniccadhammo, saṅkhārā aniccadhammo, viññāṇaṁ aniccadhammo.

Seeing this …

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…

They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
