- Language
- Pāli
22.1
“Manomayaṃ kho ahaṃ, bhante, attānaṃ paccemi sabbaṅgapaccaṅgiṃ ahīnindriyan”ti.
“Sir, I believe in a mind-made self which is whole in its major and minor limbs, not deficient in any faculty.”
22.2
“Manomayo ca hi te, poṭṭhapāda, attā abhavissa sabbaṅgapaccaṅgī ahīnindriyo, evaṃ santampi kho te, poṭṭhapāda, aññāva saññā bhavissati añño attā.
“Suppose there was such a mind-made self, Poṭṭhapāda. In that case, perception would be one thing, the self another.
22.3
Tadamināpetaṃ, poṭṭhapāda, pariyāyena veditabbaṃ yathā aññāva saññā bhavissati añño attā.
Here is another way to understand how perception and self are different things.
22.4
Tiṭṭhateva sāyaṃ, poṭṭhapāda, manomayo attā sabbaṅgapaccaṅgī ahīnindriyo, atha imassa purisassa aññā ca saññā uppajjanti, aññā ca saññā nirujjhanti.
So long as that mind-made self remains, still some perceptions arise in a person and others cease.
22.5
Imināpi kho etaṃ, poṭṭhapāda, pariyāyena veditabbaṃ yathā aññāva saññā bhavissati añño attā”ti.
That too is a way to understand how perception and self are different things.”
