"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 — without clinging to that, could such a view arise: 'I might not be, and it might not be mine; I will not be, and it will not be mine'?"
"Certainly 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 — without clinging to that, could such a view arise: 'I might not be, and it might not be mine; I will not be, and it will not be mine'?"
"Certainly not, venerable sir."
"Seeing thus … he understands: '… there is no more of this state of being.'"
