SN.22.16. Yaṁdukkhasutta ("That Which is Suffering")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, form is suffering. What’s suffering is not-self. And what’s not-self should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’
Feeling is suffering …
Perception is suffering …
Choices are suffering …
Consciousness is suffering. What’s suffering is not-self. And what’s not-self 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 no return to any state of existence.’”
