[351] "What do you think, bhikkhus: is form (rūpa) permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"And that which is impermanent — is it suffering (dukkha) or happiness?"
"Suffering, venerable sir."
"And that which is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change — could such a view as this arise without clinging to it: 'That is the self, that is the world; that I shall be after death — permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change'?"
"Surely not, venerable sir."
"Is feeling (vedanā) … perception … volitional formations … consciousness permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"And that which is impermanent — is it suffering or happiness?"
"Suffering, venerable sir."
"And that which is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change — could such a view as this arise without clinging to it: 'That is the self, that is the world; that I shall be after death — permanent, stable, eternal, not subject to change'?"
"Surely not, venerable sir."
"Seeing thus … he understands: '… there is no further state of this kind.'"
