Anicca sutta: Impermanence

Aniccasutta

Dutiyamāravagga

Rādha asks the Buddha about impermanence, and the Buddha explains in terms of the five aggregates.

Translations

At Sāvatthī.

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

“Sir, they speak of ‘impermanence’. What has impermanent nature?”

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

Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
