[232] When this was said, the elder bhikkhus said to the Venerable Channa: "Form (rūpa), friend Channa, is impermanent (anicca), feeling (vedanā) is impermanent, perception (saññā) is impermanent, volitional formations (saṅkhārā) are impermanent, consciousness (viññāṇa) is impermanent. Form is not-self (anattā); feeling …; perception …; volitional formations …; consciousness is not-self. All formations are impermanent; all dhammas are not-self."
Then it occurred to the Venerable Channa: "I too think thus: form is impermanent; feeling …; perception …; volitional formations …; consciousness is impermanent. Form is not-self; feeling …; perception …; volitional formations …; consciousness is not-self. All formations are impermanent; all dhammas are not-self. And yet, with regard to the stilling of all formations, the relinquishment of all acquisitions (upadhi), the destruction of craving (taṇhā), dispassion (virāga), cessation (nirodha), Nibbāna — my mind (citta) does not leap forward, does not become settled, does not become steady, is not released; agitation and clinging arise, and the mind turns back, thinking: 'But then, what is my self?' Yet this does not happen to one who sees the Dhamma. Who, now, might teach me the Dhamma in such a way that I might see the Dhamma?"
