XII. A Dhamma Speaker — SN22.119: Questioning (2nd)

1At Sāvatthī.

“What do you think, mendicants? Do you regard form like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self’?”

“Yes, 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 not mine, I am not this, this is not my self’?”

“Yes, 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.’”

"Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, rūpaṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti samanupassathā"ti?

"Evaṁ, bhante".

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

vedanāṁ … saññaṁ … saṅkhāre … viññāṇaṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti samanupassathā"ti?

"Evaṁ, bhante".

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

evaṁ … pe … nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī"ti.

Sattamaṁ.
