It’s Not Yours (2nd)

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, give up what’s not yours.
Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.
And what isn’t yours?
Form isn’t yours: give it up.
Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.
Feeling …
Perception …
Choices …
Consciousness isn’t yours: give it up.
Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.
Give up what’s not yours.
Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.”
