[192] Now on that occasion this reflection arose in the mind (citta) of a certain bhikkhu: "So it seems, sirs, form is not-self; feeling (vedanā) … perception … volitional formations … consciousness is not-self. What self, then, will deeds done by what is not-self touch?"
Then the Blessed One, knowing with his own mind the reflection in that bhikkhu's mind, addressed the bhikkhus: "It is possible, bhikkhus, that some foolish man here, sunk in ignorance (avijjā), with a mind possessed by craving (taṇhā), might imagine that the Teacher's teaching can be outstripped thus: 'So it seems, sirs, form is not-self; feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness is not-self. What self, then, will deeds done by what is not-self touch?' You, bhikkhus, have been trained by me through interrogation, here and there, in regard to these various dhammas.
"What do you think, bhikkhus: is form permanent or impermanent?" "Impermanent, venerable sir." "Is feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness permanent or impermanent?" "Impermanent, venerable sir." "But that which is impermanent — is that suffering (dukkha) or happiness?" "Suffering, venerable sir." "But that which is impermanent, suffering, and subject to change — is it fitting to regard it thus: 'This is mine, this I am, this is my self'?" "No indeed, venerable sir." "Therefore, … Seeing thus, … he understands: '… there is no more coming to any state of being.'"
Two on the aggregates (khandha); whether it might be that very [thing];
designation, and the cause;
two are spoken with reference to identity,
and with gratification and consciousness:
these are said to be tenfold —
such is the bhikkhu's questioning.
