Sitting to one side, the Buddha said to \u0100nanda: \u201c\u0100nanda, suppose they were to ask you: \u2018Reverend \u0100nanda, what are the things for which arising, vanishing, and change while persisting were evident? What are the things for which arising, vanishing, and change while persisting will be evident? What are the things for which arising, vanishing, and change while persisting are evident?\u2019 How would you answer?\u201d \u201cSir, suppose they were to ask me: \u2018Reverend \u0100nanda, what are the things for which arising, vanishing, and change while persisting were evident?
