# Impermanent

[43.1][bodh] Thus have I heard:

The Exalted One was once staying near Sāvatthī, at Jeta Grove, in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:

"Brethren."

"Lord," responded those brethren to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"The all, Brethren,
is impermanent.

What all?

The eye, Brethren,
is impermanent,
objects are impermanent,
eye-consciousness is impermanent,
eye-contact is impermanent

"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from eye-contact,
is impermanent.

■

The ear, Brethren,
is impermanent,
sounds are impermanent,
ear-consciousness is impermanent,
ear-contact is impermanent

"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from ear-contact,
is impermanent.

■

The nose, Brethren,
is impermanent,
scents are impermanent,
nose-consciousness is impermanent,
nose-contact is impermanent

"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from nose-contact,
is impermanent.

■

The tongue, Brethren,
is impermanent,
savours are impermanent,
tongue-consciousness is impermanent,
tongue-contact is impermanent

"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from tongue-contact,
is impermanent.

■

The body, Brethren,
is impermanent,
things tactile are impermanent,
body-consciousness is impermanent,
body-contact is impermanent

"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from body-contact,
is impermanent.

■

The mind, Brethren,
is impermanent,
mind-states are impermanent,
mind-consciousness is impermanent,
mind-contact is impermanent

"That weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
that arises from mind-contact,
is impermanent.

§

So seeing, brethren, the well-taught Ariyan disciple
is repelled by the eye,
is repelled by objects,
is repelled by eye-consciousness,
is repelled by eye-contact,
is repelled by that weal or woe or neutral state experienced,
which arises owing to eye-contact.

§

Being repelled by these,
he lusts not for them.

Not lusting he is set free.

In this freedom
comes insight
that it is a being free.

Thus he realizes:

'Rebirth is destroyed,

done is the task.

For life in these conditions
there is no hereafter.'"
