SN35:204 What Is Impermanent of the Past
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, the eye … sn.iv.153 … the mind of the past was impermanent. What is impermanent is suffering. What is suffering is nonself. What is nonself should be seen as it really is with correct wisdom thus: ‘This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.’ Seeing thus … He understands: ‘ … there is no more for this state of being.’"
1"Cakkhu, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ atītaṁ. Yadaniccaṁ, taṁ dukkhaṁ. Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā. Yadanattā, taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ … pe … jivhā aniccā atītā. Yadaniccaṁ, taṁ dukkhaṁ. Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā. Yadanattā, taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ … pe … mano anicco atīto. Yadaniccaṁ, taṁ dukkhaṁ. Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā. Yadanattā, taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ. Evaṁ passaṁ … pe … nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī"ti.
