16. The End of Relishing
With Koṭṭhita on Not-Self
“Koṭṭhita, you should give up desire for what is not-self. And what is not-self?
The eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact are not-self: you should give up desire for them. The pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on eye contact is also not-self: You should give up desire for it.
The ear … nose … tongue … body … The mind, ideas, mind consciousness, and mind contact … The pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on mind contact is also not-self: you should give up desire for it.
Koṭṭhita, you should give up desire for what is not-self.”
