"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"And that which is impermanent — is it suffering (dukkha) or happiness?"

"Why is that?"
"Because, venerable sir, this has already been well seen by us beforehand, as it really is (yathābhūta), with right wisdom: 'Thus these six classes of consciousness are impermanent.'"
"Good, good, sisters! So it is for a noble disciple who sees as it really is with right wisdom."
