II. Impermanence — SN22.20: Not-Self With Its Cause
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, form is not-self. The cause and condition that gives rise to form is also not-self. Since form is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self?
Feeling is not-self …
Perception is not-self …
Choices are not-self …
Consciousness is not-self. The cause and condition that gives rise to consciousness is also not-self. Since consciousness is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self?
Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
“Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, anattā. Yopi hetu yopi paccayo rūpassa uppādāya, sopi anattā. Anattasambhūtaṁ, bhikkhave, rūpaṁ kuto attā bhavissati.
Vedanā anattā …
saññā anattā …
saṅkhārā anattā …
viññāṇaṁ anattā. Yopi hetu yopi paccayo viññāṇassa uppādāya, sopi anattā. Anattasambhūtaṁ, bhikkhave, viññāṇaṁ kuto attā bhavissati.
Evaṁ passaṁ … pe … nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.
Navamaṁ.
