Teachings of the Buddha - Bahiya Sutta - Udana 1.10 - Pali Canon
Teachings of the Buddha - Bฤhiya Sutta - from the Udana 1.10 - translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
In this brief teaching, the Buddha taught Bahiya to put aside all views of self arising from confused and deluded thoughts based on clinging and craving. Bahiya was right to understand the immediacy of needing to awaken through the Dhamma. No one can know when sickness, aging and death will arise and this is why the Buddha gave these final instructions moments before he himself passed: โImpermanence and decay are relentless. Strive diligently for your own salvation.โ
