SN 35.142 — Interior and Cause Are Not-Self

“Mendicants, the eye is not-self. The cause and reason that gives rise to the eye is also not-self. Since the eye is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self? The ear … nose … tongue … body … mind is not-self. The cause and reason that gives rise to the mind is also not-self. Since the mind is produced by what is not-self, how could it be self? Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
