Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN22: Connected Discourses on the Aggregates

SN22:11 Nonself in the Three Times

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, form is nonself, both of the past and the future, not to speak of the present. Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is indifferent towards form of the past; he does not seek delight in form of the future; and he is practising for revulsion towards form of the present, for its fading away and cessation.

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, anattā atītānāgataṁ; ko pana vādo paccuppannassa. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ rūpasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ rūpaṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannassa rūpassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.

"Feeling is nonself … Perception is nonself … Volitional formations are nonself … Consciousness is nonself, both of the past and the future, not to speak of the present. Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is indifferent towards consciousness of the past; he does not seek delight in consciousness of the future; and he is practising for revulsion towards consciousness of the present, for its fading away and cessation."

Vedanā anattā … saññā anattā … saṅkhārā anattā … viññāṇaṁ anattā atītānāgataṁ; ko pana vādo paccuppannassa. Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ viññāṇasmiṁ anapekkho hoti; anāgataṁ viññāṇaṁ nābhinandati; paccuppannassa viññāṇassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī"ti.

Ekādasamaṁ.

2Nakulapitā devadahā,
Dvepi hāliddikāni ca;
Samādhipaṭisallāṇā,
Upādāparitassanā duve;
Atītānāgatapaccuppannā,
Vaggo tena pavuccati.
