[635] "Rāhula, whatever form (rūpa) there is—past, future, or present; internal or external; gross or subtle; inferior or superior; far or near—having seen all form as it really is with correct wisdom (sammappaññā) thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self,' one is liberated through non-clinging.
[This should be done likewise for the five aggregates]
"Whatever feeling (vedanā) there is ... whatever perception (saññā) ... whatever volitional formations (saṅkhārā) ... whatever consciousness (viññāṇa) there is—past, future, or present; internal or external; gross or subtle; inferior or superior; far or near—having seen all consciousness as it really is with correct wisdom thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self,' one is liberated through non-clinging. For one knowing thus, Rāhula, seeing thus, in regard to this conscious body and all external signs (nimitta), the mind is rid of I-making, mine-making, and conceit (ahaṅkāra-mamaṅkāra-māna); it has transcended discrimination, is peaceful, well liberated."
The Twelfth [Sutta].
The Second Vagga, the second.
Its summary (uddāna):
The eye, form, and consciousness,
contact, and feeling too,
perception, volition, craving (taṇhā),¹
element (dhātu), with aggregate—these are ten;
the underlying tendency, and 'rid of'—
hence this chapter is so called.
The Rāhulasaṃyutta, the sixth, is finished.
