SN.22.10. Kālattayadukkhasutta ("Suffering in the Three Times")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, form of the past and future is suffering, let alone the present.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past form, doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form.
Feeling …
Perception …
Choices …
Consciousness of the past and future is suffering, let alone the present.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past consciousness, doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.”
