SN.22.20. Sahetuanattasutta ("Not-Self With Its Cause")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, form is not-self. The cause and condition that gives rise to form is also not-self. Since form is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self?
Feeling is not-self …
Perception is not-self …
Choices are not-self …
Consciousness is not-self. The cause and condition that gives rise to consciousness is also not-self. Since consciousness is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self?
Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”
