Not To Me
No ca me siyā (SN 24.4)
1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.
2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there: “Monks, conscious of what, grasping and settling in what, arises the view, `I was not, I am not, I will not be, I will have nothing'?”
3. “Venerable sir, the Blessed One is the leader for the Teaching, hearing it from the Blessed One the monks will bear it in mind.”
“Then monks, listen carefully, I will tell you.
4. “Monks, conscious of matter, grasping and settling in matter, arises the view, `I was not ... re ... nothing'.
5-7. “Monks, conscious of feelings, perceptions, and intentions, grasping and settling in them arises the view, `I was not ... re ... nothing'.
8. “Monks, mindfully grasping and settling in consciousness arises the view, `I was not ... re ... nothing'.
9. “Monks, is matter permanent or impermanent?”
“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”
“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”
“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”
“Adhering that it is impermanent, unpleasant, changing, would the view arise, `I was not ... re ... nothing'?”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
10-12. “Are feelings, perceptions, and intentions permanent or impermanent?”
“Venerable sir, they are impermanent.”
“Those which are impermanent are they unpleasant or pleasant?”
“Venerable sir, they are unpleasant.”
“Adhering they are impermanent, unpleasant, changing would the view arise, `I was not ... re ... nothing'?”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
13. Monks, is consciousness permanent or impermanent?”
“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”
“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”
“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”
“Adhering that it is impermanent, unpleasant, changing would the view arise, `I was not, I am not, I will not be, I will have nothing'?”
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
14. Monks, are whatever seen, heard, sensed, cognized, achieved and pursued by the mind permanent or impermanent?”
“Venerable sir, they are impermanent.”
“Those which are impermanent, are they unpleasant or pleasant?”
“Venerable sir, they are unpleasant.”
“Adhering they are impermanent, unpleasant, changing would the view arise, `I was not ... re ... nothing'?”.
“That is not so, venerable sir.”
15. “Monks, when the learned noble disciple has dispelled doubts in these six instances, his doubts about unpleasantness, its arising, ceasing, and the method for the ceasing of unpleasantness too are dispelled. Monks, to this is said the noble disciple has entered the stream of the Teaching. He would not fall from there and his single aim would be enlightenment.”
