c16.44

² Samy., iii, 66. This is the sutta which, according to the Vinaya (i, 14), was the second discourse of Buddha preached to the first five disciples. Anattalakkhaṇa means “ not having the marks of a self or soul ”. As the sutta shows, it is merely a denial that the khandhas were ātman, whatever that term means.
