"Bhikkhus, form is impermanent.
What is impermanent is suffering.
What is suffering is nonself.
What is nonself should be seen as it really is with correct wisdom thus:
'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.'
"Feeling is impermanent. ...
Perception is impermanent. ...
Volitional formations are impermanent. ...
Consciousness is impermanent.
What is impermanent is suffering.
What is suffering is nonself.
What is nonself should be seen as it really is with correct wisdom thus:
'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.'
"Seeing thus ...
He understands:
'... there is no more for this state of being."
