Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“‘aniccadhammo, aniccadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘liable to impermanence’.

Katamo nu kho, bhante, aniccadhammo”ti?
What is liable to impermanence?

“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, aniccadhammo, vedanā aniccadhammo, saññā aniccadhammo, saṅkhārā aniccadhammo, viññāṇaṁ aniccadhammo.
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are liable to impermanence.

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
