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