The Discourse on Ānanda
21.
At Sāvatthī...
in the park.
Then the Venerable Ānanda approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he paid respect to the Blessed One and sat down to one side.
Seated to one side, the Venerable Ānanda said this to the Blessed One -
"'Cessation, cessation', venerable sir, is said.
Of which phenomena, venerable sir, is the cessation called 'cessation'?"
"Matter, Ānanda, is impermanent, conditioned, dependently arisen, subject to destruction, having the nature of falling, subject to fading away, having the nature of cessation.
Its cessation is called 'cessation'.
Feeling is impermanent, conditioned, dependently arisen, subject to destruction, having the nature of falling, subject to fading away, having the nature of cessation.
Its cessation is called 'cessation'.
Perception...
activities are impermanent, conditioned, dependently arisen, subject to destruction, having the nature of falling, subject to fading away, having the nature of cessation.
Their cessation is called 'cessation'.
Consciousness is impermanent, conditioned, dependently arisen, subject to destruction, having the nature of falling, subject to fading away, having the nature of cessation.
Its cessation is called 'cessation'.
Of these phenomena, Ānanda, the cessation is called 'cessation'."
