A Not-Self Thing
[42.1][pts][bodh] I Hear Tell:
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,
Bhagava said this to the Ancient Rādha:
"For that which is a not-self thing, Rādha
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
And what, Rādha, is a not-self thing?
Form Rādha, is a not-self thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
Sense experience Rādha, is a not-self thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
Perception Rādha, is a not-self thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
Own-making Rādha, is a not-self thing, 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 thing, for that
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust.
"For that which is a not-self thing, Rādha
you should give up desire,
you should give up lust,
you should give up desire and lust."
