mn148:10.1 If anyone says, ‘the eye is self,’ that is not tenable.
mn148:10.2 The arising and vanishing of the eye is evident,
mn148:10.3 so it would follow that one’s self arises and vanishes.
mn148:10.4 That’s why it’s not tenable to claim that
mn148:10.5 the eye is self.
mn148:10.6 So the eye is not self.
mn148:10.7 If anyone says, ‘sights are self,’ that is not tenable.
mn148:10.8 The arising and vanishing of sights is evident,
mn148:10.9 so it would follow that one’s self arises and vanishes.
mn148:10.10 That’s why it’s not tenable to claim that
mn148:10.11 sights are self.
mn148:10.12 So the eye is not self and sights are not self.
mn148:10.13 If anyone says, ‘eye consciousness is self,’ that is not tenable.
mn148:10.14 The arising and vanishing of eye consciousness is evident,
mn148:10.15 so it would follow that one’s self arises and vanishes.
mn148:10.16 That’s why it’s not tenable to claim that
mn148:10.17 eye consciousness is self.
mn148:10.18 So the eye, sights, and eye consciousness are not self.
mn148:10.19 If anyone says, ‘eye contact is self,’ that is not tenable.
mn148:10.20 The arising and vanishing of eye contact is evident,
mn148:10.21 so it would follow that one’s self arises and vanishes.
mn148:10.22 That’s why it’s not tenable to claim that
mn148:10.23 eye contact is self.
mn148:10.24 So the eye, sights, eye consciousness, and eye contact are not self.
mn148:10.25 If anyone says, ‘feeling is self,’ that is not tenable.
mn148:10.26 The arising and vanishing of feeling is evident,
mn148:10.27 so it would follow that one’s self arises and vanishes.
mn148:10.28 That’s why it’s not tenable to claim that
mn148:10.29 feeling is self.
mn148:10.30 So the eye, sights, eye consciousness, eye contact, and feeling are not self.
mn148:10.31 If anyone says, ‘craving is self,’ that is not tenable.
mn148:10.32 The arising and vanishing of craving is evident,
mn148:10.33 so it would follow that one’s self arises and vanishes.
mn148:10.34 That’s why it’s not tenable to claim that
mn148:10.35 craving is self.
mn148:10.36 So the eye, sights, eye consciousness, eye contact, feeling, and craving are not self.
