Anicca Suttaṃ
Impermanent
[43.1][bodh] Thus have I heard:
The Exalted One was once staying near Sāvatthī, at Jeta Grove, in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.
Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:
"Brethren."
"Lord," responded those brethren to the Exalted One.
The Exalted One said:
"The all, Brethren,
is impermanent.
What all?
The eye, Brethren,
is impermanent,
objects are impermanent,
eye-consciousness is impermanent,
eye-contact is impermanent
"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from eye-contact,
is impermanent.
■
The ear, Brethren,
is impermanent,
sounds are impermanent,
ear-consciousness is impermanent,
ear-contact is impermanent
"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from ear-contact,
is impermanent.
■
The nose, Brethren,
is impermanent,
scents are impermanent,
nose-consciousness is impermanent,
nose-contact is impermanent
"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from nose-contact,
is impermanent.
■
The tongue, Brethren,
is impermanent,
savours are impermanent,
tongue-consciousness is impermanent,
tongue-contact is impermanent
"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from tongue-contact,

■
The body, Brethren,

is impermanent,

"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,

§
