Not-Self With Its Cause

Sahetuanattasutta

EN
At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, form is not-self. The cause and reason that gives rise to form is also not-self. Since form is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self?
PL
Sāvatthinidānaṁ. “Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, anattā. Yopi hetu yopi paccayo rūpassa uppādāya, sopi anattā. Anattasambhūtaṁ, bhikkhave, rūpaṁ kuto attā bhavissati.
EN
Feeling is not-self … Perception is not-self … Choices are not-self … Consciousness is not-self.
PL
Vedanā anattā … saññā anattā … saṅkhārā anattā … viññāṇaṁ anattā.
EN
The cause and reason 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 nothing further for this place.’”
PL
Yopi hetu yopi paccayo viññāṇassa uppādāya, sopi anattā. Anattasambhūtaṁ, bhikkhave, viññāṇaṁ kuto attā bhavissati. Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.
PL
Navamaṁ.
