sn22.85:13.1 “Reverend Yamaka, suppose they were to ask you:
sn22.85:13.2 ‘When their body breaks up, after death, what happens to a perfected one, who has ended the defilements?’
sn22.85:13.3 How would you answer?”
sn22.85:13.4 “Reverend, if they were to ask this,
sn22.85:13.6 I’d answer like this:
sn22.85:13.7 ‘Reverend, form is impermanent.
sn22.85:13.8 What’s impermanent is suffering.
sn22.85:13.9 What’s suffering has ceased and disappeared.
sn22.85:13.10 Feeling …
sn22.85:13.11 perception …
sn22.85:13.12 choices …
sn22.85:13.13 consciousness is impermanent.
sn22.85:13.14 What’s impermanent is suffering.
sn22.85:13.15 What’s suffering has ceased and disappeared.’
sn22.85:13.16 That’s how I’d answer such a question.”
