XII. A Dhamma Speaker — SN22.118: Questioning

1At Sāvatthī.

“What do you think, mendicants? Do you regard form like this: ‘This is mine, I am this, this is my self’?”

“No, sir.”

“Good, mendicants! Form should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’ Do you regard feeling … perception … choices … consciousness like this: ‘This is mine, I am this, this is my self’?”

“No, sir.”

“Good, mendicants! Consciousness should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’

Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”

"No hetaṁ, bhante".

"Sādhu, bhikkhave. Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ. … vedanāṁ … saññaṁ … saṅkhāre … viññāṇaṁ ‘etaṁ mama, esohamasmi, eso me attā’ti samanupassathā"ti?

"No hetaṁ, bhante".

"Sādhu, bhikkhave. Viññāṇaṁ, bhikkhave, ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ … pe …

evaṁ passaṁ … pe … nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
