That Which is Suffering

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 nothing further for this place.’”
