The Discourse on Non-self with Koṭṭhika
164.
On one side, etc.
may I dwell."
"Whatever, Koṭṭhika, is non-self, therein your desire is to be abandoned.
And what, Koṭṭhika, is non-self?
The eye, Koṭṭhika, is non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned.
Material forms are non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned.
Eye-consciousness is non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned.
Eye-contact is non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned.
Whatever feeling arises with eye-contact as condition - whether pleasant or unpleasant or neither-unpleasant-nor-pleasant - that too is non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned, etc.
The tongue is non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned, etc.
The mind is non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned.
Mental phenomena are non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned.
Mind-consciousness...
Mind-contact...
whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition - whether pleasant or unpleasant or neither-unpleasant-nor-pleasant - that too is non-self;
therein your desire is to be abandoned.
Whatever, Koṭṭhika, is non-self, therein your desire is to be abandoned."
