That Which is Suffering

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.  At Sāvatthī.

“Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, dukkhaṁ.  “Mendicants, form is suffering.
Yaṁ dukkhaṁ tadanattā;  What’s suffering is not-self.
yadanattā taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ.  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.’

Vedanā dukkhā …  Feeling is suffering …

saññā dukkhā …  Perception is suffering …

saṅkhārā dukkhā …  Choices are suffering …

viññāṇaṁ dukkhaṁ.  Consciousness is suffering.
Yaṁ dukkhaṁ tadanattā;  What’s suffering is not-self.
yadanattā taṁ ‘netaṁ mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attā’ti evametaṁ yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṁ.  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.’

Evaṁ passaṁ …pe…  Seeing this …
nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.  They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”

Pañcamaṁ.
