42.9

Regarding the commentary's citation, "Hence the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa, fascicle thirty-five," and so forth: A question asks, "Are [the notions] from 'self' through to 'seer' one single thing, or are they each distinct?" The answer states: "They are all one single self; they are differentiated only according to circumstance. Because the thoughts of 'I' and 'mine' arise with respect to the five aggregates, it is called a self." Explication: The subsequent statement, "it is only one self," is the text of the treatise cited above.
