The Discourse on the Not-self Characteristic
Thus have I heard: On one occasion the Blessed One was staying at Varanasi
in the Game Refuge at Isipatana. There he addressed the group of five monks:
"The body, monks, is not self. If the body were the self, this body would not
lend itself to dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to the body,
’Let my body be thus. Let my body not be thus.’
But precisely because the body is not self, the body lends itself to dis-ease.
And it is not possible (to say) with regard to the body, ’Let my body be thus.
Let my body not be thus.’
Feeling is not self. If feeling were the self, this feeling would not lend itself to
dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to feeling, ’Let my feeling
be thus. Let my feeling not be thus.’
But precisely because feeling is not self, feeling lends itself to dis-ease. And it
is not possible (to say) with regard to feeling, ’Let my feeling be thus. Let my
feeling not be thus.’
Perception is not self. If perception were the self, this perception would not
lend itself to dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to perception,
’Let my perception be thus. Let my perception not be thus.’
But precisely because perception is not self, perception lends itself to dis-ease.
And it is not possible (to say) with regard to perception, ’Let my perception be
thus. Let my perception not be thus.’
