SN 23.18 Naturally Not-Self – Anattadhammasutta

 

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 ‘naturally not-self’.

“‘anattadhammo, anattadhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati.

What is naturally not-self?”

Katamo nu kho, bhante, anattadhammo”ti?

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

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

Seeing this …

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…

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

nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
