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.”
