The Discourse on Non-self in the Three Times
11.
At Sāvatthī.
"Materiality, monks, is non-self, whether past or future;
what then to say of the present!
Seeing thus, monks, a learned noble disciple is without longing for past materiality;
he does not delight in future materiality;
he is practising for disenchantment, dispassion, and cessation of present materiality.
Feeling is non-self...
perception is non-self...
activities are non-self...
Consciousness is non-self, whether past or future;
what then to say of the present!
Seeing thus, monks, a learned noble disciple is without longing for past consciousness;
he does not delight in future consciousness;
he is practising for disenchantment, dispassion, and cessation of present consciousness."
