At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

“What do you think, Rāhula? “Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, rāhula, Is eye consciousness permanent or impermanent?” cakkhuviññāṇaṁ niccaṁ vā aniccaṁ vā”ti?

“Impermanent, sir.” … “Aniccaṁ, bhante” …

“… ear consciousness … “sotaviññāṇaṁ …pe… nose consciousness … ghānaviññāṇaṁ … tongue consciousness … jivhāviññāṇaṁ … body consciousness … kāyaviññāṇaṁ … Is mind consciousness permanent or impermanent?” manoviññāṇaṁ niccaṁ vā aniccaṁ vā”ti?

“Impermanent, sir.” … “Aniccaṁ, bhante” …

“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and mind consciousness. “evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako cakkhuviññāṇasmimpi nibbindati …pe… sotaviññāṇasmimpi nibbindati … ghānaviññāṇasmimpi nibbindati … jivhāviññāṇasmimpi nibbindati … kāyaviññāṇasmimpi nibbindati … manoviññāṇasmimpi nibbindati; Being disillusioned, desire fades away. …” nibbindaṁ virajjati …pe… pajānātī”ti.

Tatiyaṁ.
