1“It is impossible, mendicants, it cannot happen for a person accomplished in view to take any condition as permanent. That is not possible. But it is possible for an ordinary person to take some condition as permanent. That is possible.”

1"Aṭṭhānametaṁ, bhikkhave, anavakāso yaṁ diṭṭhisampanno puggalo kañci saṅkhāraṁ niccato upagaccheyya. Netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati. Ṭhānañca kho etaṁ, bhikkhave, vijjati yaṁ puthujjano kañci saṅkhāraṁ niccato upagaccheyya. Ṭhānametaṁ vijjatī"ti.
