2. 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.’”
