[236] At Sāvatthī. In the park. Sitting to one side, the Venerable Rāhula said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, how must one know, how must one see, so that in regard to this body with consciousness (saviññāṇaka kāya) and in regard to all external signs, the mind is rid of I-making (ahaṅkāra), mine-making (mamaṅkāra), and conceit (māna), has transcended discriminations (vidhā), and is peaceful and well liberated?"
"Whatever form (rūpa), Rāhula — past, future, or present; internal or external; gross or … whether far or near — having seen all form as it really is with right wisdom thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self,' one is liberated through non-clinging. Whatever feeling (vedanā) … Whatever perception … Whatever volitional formations … Whatever consciousness — past, future, or present; internal or external; gross or subtle; inferior or superior; whether far or near — having seen all consciousness as it really is with right wisdom thus: 'This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self,' one is liberated through non-clinging. When one knows thus, Rāhula, when one sees thus, then in regard to this body with consciousness and in regard to all external signs, the mind is rid of I-making, mine-making, and conceit, has transcended discriminations, and is peaceful and well liberated."
The Thera Chapter, the fourth.
Its summary:
Ānanda, Tissa, Yamaka, Anurādha and Vakkali,
Assaji, Khemaka [1], Channa, and the two Rāhula (suttas) 2 besides —
this is called the Thera Chapter. 3
