sn22.37:2.1 “Ānanda, suppose they were to ask you:
sn22.37:2.2 ‘Reverend Ānanda, what are the things for which arising is evident, vanishing is evident, and change while persisting is evident?’
sn22.37:2.3 How would you answer?”
sn22.37:2.4 “Sir, suppose they were to ask me:
sn22.37:2.5 ‘What are the things for which arising is evident, vanishing is evident, and change while persisting is evident?’
sn22.37:2.6 I’d answer like this:
sn22.37:2.7 ‘Reverend, the arising of form is evident, its vanishing is evident, and change while persisting is evident.
sn22.37:2.8 The arising of feeling …
sn22.37:2.9 perception …
sn22.37:2.10 choices …
sn22.37:2.11 consciousness is evident, its vanishing is evident, and change while persisting is evident.
sn22.37:2.12 These are the things for which arising is evident, vanishing is evident, and change while persisting is evident.’
sn22.37:2.13 That’s how I’d answer such a question.”
