[SN 22.85](https://suttacentral.net/sn22.85/en/bodhi?lang=en&reference=none&highlight=false) says: > “What do you think, friend Yamaka, do you regard form, feeling, > perception, volitional formations and consciousness taken together as > the Tathagata?”— > > “No, friend.” > “If, friend Yamaka, they were to ask you: ‘Friend Yamaka, when a > bhikkhu is an arahant, one whose taints are destroyed, what happens to > him with the breakup of the body, after death?’—being asked thus, what > would you answer?” > > “If they were to ask me this, friend, I would answer thus: ‘Friends, > form is impermanent; what is impermanent is suffering [unsatisfactory]; what is > suffering [unsatisfactory] has ceased and passed away. Feeling … Perception … > Volitional formations … Consciousness is impermanent; what is > impermanent is suffering [unsatisfactory]; what is suffering [unsatisfactory] has ceased and passed > away.’ Being asked thus, friend, I would answer in such a way.” > > “Good, good, friend Yamaka! Are the two excepts above contradictory? What is the precise analysis of SN 22.85 & SN 22.86 here?
