Giving Up Substantialist View

Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu …pe…  Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha …
etadavoca:  and said to him:

“kathaṁ nu kho, bhante, jānato kathaṁ passato sakkāyadiṭṭhi pahīyatī”ti?  “Sir, how does one know and see so that substantialist view is given up?”

“Cakkhuṁ kho, bhikkhu, dukkhato jānato passato sakkāyadiṭṭhi pahīyati.  “Mendicant, knowing and seeing the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact as suffering, substantialist view is given up. …
Rūpe dukkhato jānato passato sakkāyadiṭṭhi pahīyati. 
Cakkhuviññāṇaṁ dukkhato jānato passato sakkāyadiṭṭhi pahīyati. 
Cakkhusamphassaṁ dukkhato jānato passato sakkāyadiṭṭhi pahīyati …pe… 

yampidaṁ manosamphassapaccayā uppajjati vedayitaṁ sukhaṁ vā dukkhaṁ vā adukkhamasukhaṁ vā tampi dukkhato jānato passato sakkāyadiṭṭhi pahīyati.  And also knowing and seeing the pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises conditioned by mind contact as suffering, substantialist view is given up.

Evaṁ kho, bhikkhu, jānato evaṁ passato sakkāyadiṭṭhi pahīyatī”ti.  This is how to know and see so that substantialist view is given up.”

Ekādasamaṁ.
