SN 35.147 The Anicca as Conducive to Extinguishment – Aniccanibbānasappāyasutta
“Bhikkhū, I will teach you a practice that’s conducive to extinguishment.
“Nibbānasappāyaṁ vo, bhikkhave, paṭipadaṁ desessāmi.
Listen …
Taṁ suṇātha …pe…
And what is that practice that’s conducive to extinguishment?
katamā ca sā, bhikkhave, nibbānasappāyā paṭipadā?
It’s when a bhikkhu sees that the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact are anicca. And they see that the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by eye contact is also anicca.
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cakkhuṁ aniccanti passati, rūpā aniccāti passati, cakkhuviññāṇaṁ aniccanti passati, cakkhusamphasso aniccoti passati. Yampidaṁ cakkhusamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi aniccanti passati …pe…

mind, thoughts, mind-consciousness, and mind contact are anicca. And they see that the painful, pleasant, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact is also anicca.
