The eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind are impermanent: you should give up desire for them. You should give up desire for what is impermanent.”

Cakkhu, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ; tatra vo chando pahātabbo … pe … jivhā aniccā; tatra vo chando pahātabbo … pe … mano anicco; tatra vo chando pahātabbo. Yaṁ, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ, tatra vo chando pahātabbo"ti.
