Attānudiṭṭhisutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Khandhavaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 17 · Section 359

[359] "What do you think, bhikkhus, is form (rūpa) permanent or impermanent?" "Impermanent, venerable sir." "But that which is impermanent … could view of self (attānudiṭṭhi) arise without clinging to that?" "No indeed, venerable sir." "Feeling (vedanā) … perception … volitional formations … Is consciousness permanent or impermanent?" "Impermanent, venerable sir." "But that which is impermanent … could view of self arise without clinging to that?" "No indeed, venerable sir." "Seeing thus … he understands: '… there is no more for this state of being.'"
