Samyuktagama (Sanskrit fragments) 51.4

51.4

爾時，世尊告諸比丘：「我今為汝說壞、不壞法。諦聽，善思，當為汝說。諸比丘！色是壞法，彼色滅涅槃是不壞法；受、想、行、識是壞法，彼識滅涅槃是不壞法。」

It was then that the Bhagavān addressed the monks, “Now, I will discuss things that are destroyed and not destroyed. Listen closely, and consider it well. I will explain this for you.

“Monks, form is something destroyed, but the cessation and extinguishment of that form is not something that’s destroyed. Feeling … conception … volition … consciousness is something destroyed, but the cessation and extinguishment of that consciousness is not something that’s destroyed.”
