sn.25.9 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Elements

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, the earth element is impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
The water element,
the fire element,
the air element,
the space element,
and the consciousness element are impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
Someone who has faith and confidence in these principles is called a follower by faith. …”
