Not-Self
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“‘anattā, anattā’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘not-self’.
Katamo nu kho, bhante, anattā”ti?
What is not-self?”
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, anattā, vedanā anattā, saññā anattā, saṅkhārā anattā, viññāṇaṁ anattā.
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are not-self.
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
Seeing this …
nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”
Sattamaṁ.
