SN 23.17 Not-Self – Anattasutta

 

At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘not-self’.

“‘anattā, anattā’ti, bhante, vuccati.

What is not-self?”

Katamo nu kho, bhante, anattā”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, saṅkhāra, and consciousness are not-self.

“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, anattā, vedanā anattā, saññā anattā, saṅkhārā anattā, viññāṇaṁ anattā.

Seeing this …

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…

They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
