sn.22.17 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

That Which is Not-Self

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, form 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.’
Feeling is not-self …
Perception is not-self …
Choices are not-self …
Consciousness 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.’
Seeing this …
They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”
