1. Nakula’s Father
Not-Self in the Three Times
At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, form of the past and future is not-self, let alone the present.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past form, doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form, and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form.
Feeling …
Perception …
Choices …
Consciousness of the past and future is not-self, let alone the present.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past consciousness, doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness, and they practice for the disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.”
