Rāhulasutta

[235] At Sāvatthī. Then the Venerable Rāhula approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. Sitting to one side, the Venerable Rāhula said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, how does one know, how does one see, so that in regard to this conscious body and all external signs (nimitta), I-making (ahaṅkāra), mine-making (mamaṅkāra), and the underlying tendency to conceit (mānānusaya) do not occur?" "Rāhula, whatever form (rūpa) there is—past, future, or present; internal or external; gross or subtle; inferior or superior; far or near—one sees all form as it really is with right wisdom (sammappaññā) thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.' Whatever feeling (vedanā) there is… Whatever perception there is… Whatever volitional formations there are… Whatever consciousness there is—past, future, or present; internal or external … all consciousness—one sees it as it really is with right wisdom thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.' Rāhula, when one knows thus, when one sees thus, then in regard to this conscious body and all external signs, I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to conceit do not occur."
