Questioning
At Sāvatthī.
“What do you think, mendicants? Do you regard form like this: ‘This is mine, I am this, this is my self’?”
“No, sir.”
“Good, mendicants! Form should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’ Do you regard feeling … perception … choices … consciousness like this: ‘This is mine, I am this, this is my self’?”
“No, sir.”
“Good, mendicants! Consciousness 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.’”
