Early Monastic Buddhism v1.c11.47

v1.c11.47

In the Vinaya Piṭaka (I, pp. 13-14),² this discourse is followed by another known as the Anattasutta, in which each of the five skandhas has been pointed out as devoid of a self (anattā) and as such they are not subject to the will of the self. Further, they are also impermanent (anicca) and as such they are sources of guel (dukkha). The conclusion drawn from this discourse is that everything is devoid of self (pudgalaśūnya) and one who knows this is said to attain Nirvāṇa.
