1. About Māra (2nd)

Liable to Suffering

At Sāvatthī.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“Sir, they speak of having ‘suffering nature’.

What is of a nature to suffer?”

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are of a nature to suffer.

Seeing this …

They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
