Liable To Vanish
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“‘vayadhammo, vayadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of ‘liable to vanish’.
Katamo nu kho, bhante, vayadhammo”ti?
What is liable to vanish?”
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, vayadhammo, vedanā vayadhammo, saññā vayadhammo, saṅkhārā vayadhammo, viññāṇaṁ vayadhammo.
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are liable to vanish.
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
Seeing this …
nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”
Dasamaṁ.
