[789] "Just so, sisters, would one be speaking rightly if one were to say: 'These six external sense bases (āyatana) of mine are impermanent, but whatever feeling (vedanā) I experience in dependence on the external sense bases—whether pleasant, or painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant—that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change'? Would that person, sisters, speaking thus, be speaking rightly?"
"No indeed, venerable sir."
"Why is that?"
"Because, venerable sir, in dependence on each corresponding condition, each corresponding feeling arises; with the cessation of each corresponding condition, each corresponding feeling ceases."
"Good, good, sisters! So it is for a noble disciple who sees as it really is with right wisdom."
