[21] [21]

[1][bodh] Thus have I heard:—

The Exalted One was staying at Sāvatthī.

The Exalted One said:

"Body, brethren, is without the self,
feeling, is without the self,
perception, is without the self,
the activities, are without the self,
consciousness is without the self.

So seeing, brethren, the well-taught Ariyan disciple
is repelled by body,
is repelled by feeling,
is repelled by perception,
is repelled by the activities
is repelled by consciousness.

Being repelled
he lusts not
not lusting he is set free
in this freedom comes insight
that it is a being free.

Thus he realizes:

'Rebirth is destroyed,
lived is the righteous life,
done is my task,
for life in these conditions
there is no hereafter.'"
