Seated to one side, that mendicant said to the Buddha: Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
“Sir, is there any form at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever? “atthi nu kho, bhante, kiñci rūpaṁ, yaṁ rūpaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassati? Is there any feeling … Atthi nu kho, bhante, kāci vedanā …pe… perception … kāci saññā … choices … keci saṅkhārā … consciousness at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever?” kiñci viññāṇaṁ, yaṁ viññāṇaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassatī”ti?
“Mendicant, there is no form at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever. “Natthi kho, bhikkhu, kiñci rūpaṁ yaṁ rūpaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassati. There’s no feeling … Natthi kho, bhikkhu, kāci vedanā … perception … kāci saññā … choices … keci saṅkhārā … consciousness at all that’s permanent, everlasting, eternal, imperishable, and will last forever and ever.” kiñci viññāṇaṁ, yaṁ viññāṇaṁ niccaṁ dhuvaṁ sassataṁ avipariṇāmadhammaṁ sassatisamaṁ tatheva ṭhassatī”ti.
