SN35:206 What Is Impermanent of the Present

Internal

1"Bhikkhus, the eye … the mind of the present is 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.’" sn.iv.154

1"Cakkhu, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ paccuppannaṁ. Yadaniccaṁ, taṁ dukkhaṁ. Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā. Yadanattā taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ … pe … jivhā aniccā paccuppannā. Yadaniccaṁ, taṁ dukkhaṁ. Yaṁ dukkhaṁ, tadanattā. Yadanattā, taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ … pe … mano anicco paccuppanno. 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.
