SN 35.7
Ajjhattāniccātītānāgata sutta: The Interior as Impermanent in the Three Times
Ajjhattāniccātītānāgatasutta
Aniccavagga
In the past, future, and present, the six interior sense fields are impermanent, suffering, and not-self. When a noble disciple truly sees them like this, they become disillusioned and liberated.
Translations
“Mendicants, the eye of the past and future is impermanent, let alone the present.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with the eye of the past, they don’t look forward to enjoying the eye in the future, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the eye in the present.
The ear … nose … tongue … body … mind of the past and future is impermanent, let alone the present.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about the mind of the past, they don’t look forward to enjoying the mind in the future, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding the mind in the present.”
