sn.18.3 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Consciousness

At Sāvatthī.
“What do you think, Rāhula?
Is eye consciousness permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“… ear consciousness …
nose consciousness …
tongue consciousness …
body consciousness …
Is mind consciousness permanent or impermanent?”
“Impermanent, sir.” …
“Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and mind consciousness.
Being disillusioned, desire fades away. …”
