This is Self

So atta (SN 22.152)

1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One lived in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.

2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there:

3. “Monks, when what is present, grasping what, and continually supported by what, does the view, `This is the self, this is the world, after death I will be permanent, stable, and will not change,' arise to someone?”

4 “Venerable sir, the Blessed One is the leader for the Teaching, hearing it from the Blessed One the monks will bear it in mind.”

“Then monks, listen carefully, I will tell you.

5. “Monks, mindful of matter, seizing it and continually supported by it, this view arises to someone: `This is the self, this is the world, I will be permanent, stable, and will not change.'

6-8. “Mindful of feelings, perceptions, and intentions, seizing them and continually supported by them, the view arises to someone: `This is the self, this is the world, I will be permanent, stable, and will not change.'

9. “Aware of it, seizing consciousness, and continually supported by it, the view arises to someone, `This is the self, this is the world, I will be permanent, stable, and will not change.'

10. “Monks, is matter permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”

“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”

“That which is impermanent, unpleasant, changing, is it suitable to be reflected, `It is mine, I am that, it is my self'?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

13. “Are feelings, perceptions, and intentions permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, they are impermanent.”

“Those which are impermanent, are they unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, they are unpleasant.”

“Those which are impermanent, unpleasant, changing are they suitable to be reflected, `They are mine, I am there and they are my self'?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

14. “Monks, is consciousness permanent or impermanent?”

“Venerable sir, it is impermanent.”

“That which is impermanent, is it unpleasant or pleasant?”

“Venerable sir, it is unpleasant.”

“That which is impermanent, unpleasant, changing, is it suitable to be reflected, `It is mine, I am that, it is my self'?”

“That is not so, venerable sir.”

15. “Monks, the learned noble disciple, seeing this, turns from matter, feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness. Turning, looses interest and is released. Released, he knows, `I am released, birth is destroyed, the holy life is lived to the end, duties are done, and I have nothing more to wish'.”
