The Discourse on Identity View
155.
At Sāvatthī.
"When what exists, monks, clinging to what, having clung to what, does identity view arise?"
"The teachings have the Blessed One as their root, venerable sir, etc.
"When matter exists, monks, clinging to matter, having clung to matter, identity view arises.
When feeling exists...
when perception exists...
when activities exist...
when consciousness exists, clinging to consciousness, having clung to consciousness, identity view arises.
What do you think, monks, is matter permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"But what is impermanent, etc.
would identity view arise by non-clinging to that?"
"No, venerable Sir."
"Feeling...
perception...
activities...
consciousness permanent or impermanent?"
"Impermanent, venerable sir."
"But what is impermanent, etc.
would identity view arise by non-clinging to that?"
"No, venerable Sir."
"Seeing thus, etc.
He understands: ... there is no more coming back to any state of being.'"
