At Sāvatthi.
Then the Venerable Rādha approached the Blessed One. Having drawn near, he addressed him: “Venerable sir, how must one know, how must one see, so that in regard to this body with consciousness and in regard to all external |signs::symbols, mental images, mental representations [nimitta]|, |I-making::self-identification, concept of individuality, I am this, this is me [ahaṅkāra]|, |mine-making::possessiveness, attachment, self-interest [mamaṅkāra]|, and the underlying tendency to |pride::conceit, egotism, superiority, self-comparison [māna]| cease to arise?”
“Any kind of |form::materiality, material existence, experience of the material world, i.e. encompassing both one’s body and external objects; first of the five aggregates [rūpa]| whatsoever, Rādha, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, deficient or refined, far or near—all form is to be seen with proper wisdom as it truly is: ‘This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.’
Any kind of |felt experience::pleasant, neutral or painful sensation, feeling felt on contact through eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; second of the five aggregates [vedanā]| whatsoever, Rādha, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, deficient or refined, far or near—all felt experience is to be seen with proper wisdom as it truly is: ‘This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.’
Any kind of |perception::interpretation and recognition of oneself, of things. It can involve concepts, labels, and judgments; third of the five aggregates [sañña]| whatsoever, Rādha, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, deficient or refined, far or near—all perception is to be seen with proper wisdom as it truly is: ‘This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.’
Any kind of |volitional formations::intentions, choices, decisions, karmic activity; fourth of the five aggregates [saṅkhāra]| whatsoever, Rādha, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, deficient or refined, far or near—all volitional formations are to be seen with proper wisdom as they truly are: ‘These are not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.’
Any kind of |consciousness::quality of awareness — subjective awareness of experiences and the knowing of objects through the six sense doors [sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and mind]; fifth of the five aggregates [viññāṇa]| whatsoever, Rādha, whether past, future, or present, internal or external, gross or subtle, deficient or refined, far or near—all consciousness is to be seen with proper wisdom as it truly is: ‘This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.’
When one knows and sees thus, Rādha, in regard to this body with consciousness and in regard to all external signs, I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to pride cease to arise.” ...pe...
