The Buddha teaches on it’s not yours (2nd), applying the analysis of the five aggregates—form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness—to insight and release.
Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
“Yaṁ, bhikkhave, na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissati. Kiñca, bhikkhave, na tumhākaṁ?
Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissati.
Vedanā na tumhākaṁ …
saññā na tumhākaṁ …
saṅkhārā na tumhākaṁ …
viññāṇaṁ na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissati.
Yaṁ, bhikkhave, na tumhākaṁ taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissatī”ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
