Early Monastic Buddhism v2.c36.33

v2.c36.33

V. asserts that if *pudgala* be an entity, it should be either material (*rūpa*) or non-material (*nāma*), but Buddha says *rūpa* or *vedanā* or *saṃjñā* or *saṃsārā* or *vijñāna* is not self—all *dharmas* are without self—there is no *pudgala*. He further states that *sattva*, *jīva*, or *pudgala* is a *prajñapti* (designation) applied to the false notion of a self cherished by the unenlightened.
