The Interior as Not-Self

Translator: Bhikkhu Sujato

“Mendicants, the eye is not-self.

And what’s not-self should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’

The ear,

nose,

tongue,

body,

and mind are not-self.

And what’s not-self should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’

Seeing this …

They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
