Anattadhammasutta

Naturally Not-Self

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“‘anattadhammo, anattadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘liable to not-self’.

Katamo nu kho, bhante, anattadhammo”ti?
What is liable to not-self?”

“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, anattadhammo, vedanā anattadhammo, saññā anattadhammo, saṅkhārā anattadhammo, viññāṇaṁ anattadhammo.
“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are liable to not-self.

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…
Seeing this …

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
