SN 23.20 Liable To Vanish – Vayadhammasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

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

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of things being ‘liable to vanish’.

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

What is liable to vanish?”

Katamo nu kho, bhante, vayadhammo”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, saṅkhāra, and consciousness are liable to vanish.

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

Seeing this …

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…

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

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
