[252] At Sāvatthī. In the park. Sitting to one side, that bhikkhu said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, is there any form (rūpa) — any form that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and that will remain the same just like eternity itself? Is there, venerable sir, any feeling (vedanā) — any feeling that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and that will remain the same just like eternity itself? Is there, venerable sir, any perception (saññā) … any volitional formations (saṅkhārā) — any volitional formations that are permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and that will remain the same just like eternity itself? Is there, venerable sir, any consciousness (viññāṇa) — any consciousness that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and that will remain the same just like eternity itself?"
"Bhikkhu, there is no form — no form that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and that will remain the same just like eternity itself. There is, bhikkhu, no feeling … no perception … no volitional formations … no consciousness — no consciousness that is permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change, and that will remain the same just like eternity itself."
