sn35.93:3.1 Mind consciousness arises dependent on the mind and ideas.
sn35.93:3.2 The mind is impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.3 Ideas are impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.4 So this duality is tottering and toppling; it’s impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.5 Mind consciousness is impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.6 And the causes and reasons that give rise to mind consciousness are also impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.7 But since mind consciousness has arisen dependent on conditions that are impermanent, how could it be permanent?
sn35.93:3.8 The meeting, coming together, and joining together of these three things is called mind contact.
sn35.93:3.9 Mind contact is also impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.10 And the causes and reasons that give rise to mind contact are also impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.11 But since mind contact has arisen dependent on conditions that are impermanent, how could it be permanent?
sn35.93:3.12 Contacted one feels; contacted one intends; contacted one perceives.
sn35.93:3.13 So these things too are tottering and toppling; they’re impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
sn35.93:3.14 This is how consciousness originates dependent on a duality.”
