The Five Aggregates Subject to Clinging Are Not yours, Abandon Them

The Buddha's words

Natumhākasutta SN 22.33 https://suttacentral.net/sn22.33



At Savatthi. “Bhikkhus, whatever is not yours, abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness. And what is it, bhikkhus, that is not yours? Form is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness.


Feeling is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness.


Perception is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness.


Volitional formations are not yours: abandon them. When you have abandoned them, that will lead to your welfare and happiness.


Consciousness is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness.


“Suppose, bhikkhus, people were to carry off the grass, sticks, branches, and foliage in this Jeta’s Grove, or to burn them, or to do with them as they wish. Would you think: ‘People are carrying us off, or burning us, or doing with us as they wish’?”


“No, venerable sir. For what reason? Because, venerable sir, that is neither our self nor what belongs to our self.”


“So too, bhikkhus, form is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness. Feeling is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness. Perception is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness. Volitional formations are not yours: abandon them. When you have abandoned them, that will lead to your welfare and happiness. Consciousness is not yours: abandon it. When you have abandoned it, that will lead to your welfare and happiness.”
