33.17

Regarding the commentary's "The applications of mindfulness are of two kinds" and so forth: this explains the second line, "Who is the self in this?" That is to say, there is a question asking: according to the contemplation of the applications of mindfulness, one contemplates the body as impure, contemplates feeling as suffering, contemplates the mind as impermanent, and contemplates dharmas as non-self; why now contemplate the body as non-self? Therefore it now answers, saying: there are general and specific [modes]. The objection above was made according to the specific; now it speaks in terms of the general. Therefore, in contemplating the body, one can cultivate the contemplations of non-self, suffering, impermanence, and impurity; here it merely mentions non-self.
