Not-Self With Its Cause

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, form is not-self.

The cause and reason 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 reason 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 nothing further for this place.’”
