[361] "What do you think, bhikkhus, is form permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"But that which is impermanent … could fetters, adherence, and bondage arise without clinging to it?"
"No indeed, venerable sir."
"Is feeling (vedanā) … perception … volitional formations … consciousness permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"But that which is impermanent — is that suffering (dukkha) or happiness?"
"Suffering, venerable sir."
"But that which is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change — could fetters, adherence, and bondage arise without clinging to it?"
"No indeed, venerable sir."
"Seeing thus … he understands: '… there is no further for this state of existence.'"
