SN 22.12

Anicca sutta: Impermanence

Aniccasutta

Aniccavagga

Because the aggregates are impermanent, a noble disciple becomes disillusioned with them.

Translations

So I have heard. At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are impermanent.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they’re freed, they know they’re freed.

They 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.’”
