Khayadhammasutta

Liable To End

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“‘khayadhammo, khayadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of ‘liable to end’.

Katamo nu kho, bhante, khayadhammo”ti?
What is liable to end?”

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

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
Seeing this …

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”

Navamaṁ.
