Hello Lal,

So, can I assume that anicca also means that the sensation of pleasure is not an intrinsic attribute of any object?

If so, could nicca sanna be interpreted as the perception that sensual pleasure is inherent in these desired objects? 

[Lal]

Yes. That is exactly right. I am glad that you narrowed it down to the exact point.

• For example, science has proven that an apple does not have an intrinsic color of red. It also does not have a ‘sweet taste.’
• Both those perceptions are made up in the mind.
• Scientists say those perceptions arise in the brain. But how can a sweetness or a color perception arise in a brain made of inert atoms and molecules?
