[507] (Visākha:) "But, lady, how does identity view (sakkāyadiṭṭhi) come to be?"
(Dhammadinnā:) "Here, friend Visākha, an unlearned ordinary person (puthujjana), who has not seen the noble ones, who is unskilled in the Dhamma of the noble ones and undisciplined in the Dhamma of the noble ones, who has not seen true persons, who is unskilled in the Dhamma of true persons and undisciplined in the Dhamma of true persons, regards form (rūpa) as self, or self as possessing form, or form as in self, or self as in form; he regards feeling (vedanā) ... perception (saññā) ... volitional formations (saṅkhārā) ... he regards consciousness (viññāṇa) as self, or self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in self, or self as in consciousness. Thus indeed, friend Visākha, identity view comes to be."
(Visākha:) "But, lady, how does identity view not come to be?"
(Dhammadinnā:) "Here, friend Visākha, a learned noble disciple, who has seen the noble ones, who is skilled in the Dhamma of the noble ones and well disciplined in the Dhamma of the noble ones, who has seen true persons, who is skilled in the Dhamma of true persons and well disciplined in the Dhamma of true persons, does not regard form as self, or self as possessing form, or form as in self, or self as in form; he does not regard feeling ... does not regard perception ... does not regard volitional formations ... does not regard consciousness as self, or self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in self, or self as in consciousness. Thus indeed, friend Visākha, identity view does not come to be."
