- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī.
“What do you think, Rāhula? Is intention regarding sights permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“… intention regarding sounds … intention regarding smells … intention regarding tastes … intention regarding touches … Is intention regarding thoughts permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with intention regarding sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and thoughts. …”
1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati.
