23. Rādhasaṁyutta: With Rādha

II. About Māra (2nd) — SN23.17: Not-Self

1At Sāvatthī.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘not-self’. What is not-self?”

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are not-self.

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

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

"‘anattā, anattā’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, bhante, anattā"ti?

"Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, anattā, vedanā anattā, saññā anattā, saṅkhārā anattā, viññāṇaṁ anattā.

Evaṁ passaṁ … pe … nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī"ti.

Sattamaṁ.
