“Mendicants, you should give up desire for what is impermanent. And what is impermanent? 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.”
“Yaṁ, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ, tatra vo chando pahātabbo. Kiñca, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ? 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.
