Thus have I heard:
63.3
At one time, the Buddha was staying in Śrāvastī at Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍadārāma.
63.4
At that time, the Bhagavat addressed the bhikṣus: "There are five aggregates of clinging, namely, the rūpa aggregate of clinging, and the vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna aggregates of clinging. Bhikṣus! If any śramaṇa or brāhmaṇa reckons that there is a self, they all reckon a self regarding these five aggregates of clinging. What are the five? Śramaṇas and brāhmaṇas regard rūpa as the self, as distinct from the self, or as existing within each other; likewise, they regard vedanā, saṃjñā, saṃskāra, and vijñāna as the self, as distinct from the self, or as existing within each other. Thus the foolish, unlearned pṛthagjana, reckoning a self, in ignorance, contemplating with such conceptual distinctions, does not depart from ātmīya; not departing from ātmīya, he enters the sense faculties; having entered the sense faculties, contact arises; touched by the six sense-bases of contact, the foolish, unlearned pṛthagjana gives rise to duḥkha and pleasure, and from this, these and others arise. That is to say, the six classes of contact. What are the six? Namely, the eye-contact base, and the ear-, nose-, tongue-, body-, and mind-contact bases. Bhikṣus! There are the mind element, the phenomena element, and the ignorance element, which are touched by ignorance-contact. The foolish, unlearned pṛthagjana says 'it exists', says 'it does not exist', says 'it both exists and does not exist', says 'it neither exists nor does not exist', says 'I am superior', says 'I am equal', [and says] 'I know, I see.'
63.5
"Furthermore, bhikṣus! The learned āryaśrāvaka, dwelling in the six sense-bases of contact, is able to develop nirvid toward ignorance and give rise to knowledge. Having virāga toward ignorance and giving rise to knowledge, he does not [say] 'it exists', does not [say] 'it does not exist', does not [say] 'it both exists and does not exist', does not [say] 'it neither exists nor does not exist', does not [say] 'I am superior', does not [say] 'I am inferior', does not [say] 'I am equal', [nor] 'I know, I see'. Having formed such knowledge and such vision, the former ignorance-contact that arose ceases, and the subsequent knowledge-contact arises."
63.6
When the Buddha had spoken this sūtra, the bhikṣus, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.
