Buddhism·8 of 148·Source ↗

At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, form of the past and future is impermanent, let alone the present. Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past form, doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form. Feeling … Perception … Choices … Consciousness of the past and future is impermanent, let alone the present. Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past consciousness, doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.”
