Friends:
Transient whether Internal, External, Past, Present or Future!!!
At Savatthi The Blessed Buddha said this:
Bhikkhus, any eye & any form is impermanent, whether internal, external,
past, present or future. Seeing this any educated Noble Disciple becomes
indifferent towards any past vision & any past form, he does not search for
delight in any future vision nor any future form, & he cultivates disgust
for
any present vision & present form in order to make it all fade away &
cease...
Any ear & any sound is impermanent; Any nose & any smell is impermanent;
Any tongue & flavour is impermanent; Any body & any touch is impermanent;
Any mind & any mental state is impermanent, whether internal, or external,
past, present or future. Seeing this any educated Noble Disciple becomes
indifferent towards any past mind & any past mental state, he does not
search for delight in any future mind nor any future mental state, & he do
indeed cultivate disgust for any present mind, mood, mentality & any present
mental state so to make it fade away, be all stilled, tranquilized &
cease...
