35.86. The Dhamma in Brief

Sitting to one side, the Venerable Ānanda said to the Blessed One: “Venerable sir, it would be good if the Blessed One would teach me the Dhamma in brief, so that, having heard the Dhamma from the Blessed One, I might dwell alone, withdrawn, diligent, ardent, and resolute.”

“What do you think, Ānanda, is the eye permanent or impermanent?”—“Impermanent, venerable sir.”

Complete as in §32, down to “there is no more for this state of being.”
