(71) Vàta

1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anàthapiõóika in Jeta's grove in Sàvatthi.

2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there:

3. ßMonks, conscious of what, grasping and settling in what, arise the view, `Winds do not blow, rivers do not flow, mothers do not give birth, the moon and sun do not rise and set; like a pillar everything stands still'?û

4. ßVenerable sir, the Blessed One is the leader for the Teaching, hearing it from the Blessed One the monks will bear it in mind.û

ßThen monks, listen carefully, I will tell you.

5. ßMonks, conscious of matter, grasping and settling in it, arise the view, `Winds do not blow ... stands still'.

6-9. ßMonks, conscious of feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness, grasping and settling in them arise the view, `Winds do not blow ... stands still'.

10. ßMonks, is matter permanent or impermanent?û ßVenerable sir, it is impermanentû ßIs it suitable to consider that changing thing is mine, I am there and it is my self?û

ßVenerable sir, that is not so.û

11-14. Are feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness permanent or impermanent?û

ßVenerable sir, they are impermanent.û

ßIs it suitable to consider these changing things are mine, I am there and they are my self?û

ßVenerable sir, that is not so.û

15. ßTherefore monks, whatever matter, feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness, in the past, future, or present, seized or not, rough or fine, unexalted or exalted, far or near, all matter, feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness are not mine, I am not there, they are not my self. This should be seen as it really is, with right wisdom.

16. Monks, the learned noble disciple seeing it thus turns from matter, feelings, perceptions, intentions, and consciousness. Turning, loses interest and knowledge arises, `Birth is destroyed, I am released, and I have nothing more to wish'.û
