Impermanence in the Three Times Kālattayaaniccasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, form of the past and future is impermanent, “Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ atītānāgataṁ; let alone the present. ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past form, Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ rūpasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form, anāgataṁ rūpaṁ nābhinandati; and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form. paccuppannassa rūpassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.

Feeling … Vedanā aniccā …pe…

Perception … saññā aniccā …

Choices … saṅkhārā aniccā atītānāgatā; ko pana vādo paccuppannānaṁ.

Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītesu saṅkhāresu anapekkho hoti; anāgate saṅkhāre nābhinandati; paccuppannānaṁ saṅkhārānaṁ nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti. Consciousness of the past and future is impermanent, Viññāṇaṁ aniccaṁ atītānāgataṁ; let alone the present. ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past consciousness, Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ viññāṇasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness, anāgataṁ viññāṇaṁ nābhinandati; and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.” paccuppannassa viññāṇassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti.
