Sutta 29
Anatta Suttaṃ
Not-Self
Once upon a time, The Lucky man,
Sāvatthi-town revisiting,
Jeta Grove,
Anathapiṇḍika's Park.
Then one time there the Ancient Rādha drew near Bhagava,
gave salutation,
and took a seat to one side.
At that time, so seated,
the Ancient Rādha said this to Bhagava:
"It would be a good thing for me, Bhante,
if the Lucky Man were to teach me Dhamma concisely.
As a result of hearing Dhamma
from the Lucky Man
I might be able to live secluded,
without carelessness,
ardent,
self-motivated."
"Then Rādha
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust,
for that which is not-self.
And what, Rādha, is not-self?
Form Rādha, is not-self, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
Sense experience Rādha, is not-self, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
Perception Rādha, is not-self, for that

you should give up desire and lust.
Own-making Rādha, is not-self, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
Consciousness Rādha, is a not-self, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust."
