[577] "And how, bhikkhu, is one not swept away among presently arisen dhammas (dhamma)? Here, an instructed noble disciple (ariyasāvaka) — one who sees the noble ones, skilled in the Dhamma of the noble ones, well trained in the Dhamma of the noble ones; one who sees true persons (sappurisa), skilled in the Dhamma of true persons, well trained in the Dhamma of true persons — does not regard form (rūpa) as self, nor self as possessing form, nor form as in self, nor self as in form; does not regard feeling (vedanā) … ; does not regard perception (saññā) … ; does not regard volitional formations (saṅkhārā) … ; does not regard consciousness (viññāṇa) as self, nor self as possessing consciousness, nor consciousness as in self, nor self as in consciousness. It is in this way, bhikkhu, that one is not swept away among presently arisen dhammas."
