Friend Sāriputta, the ear, ear-consciousness … Friend Sāriputta, the nose, nose-consciousness … Friend Sāriputta, the tongue, tongue-consciousness … Friend Sāriputta, the body, body-consciousness … Friend Sāriputta, I regard the mind, mind-consciousness, and the dhammas cognizable by mind-consciousness thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.'"
