[345] At Sāvatthī. Bhikkhus, for a clansman gone forth out of faith, this is in accordance with the Dhamma (anudhamma): that he should dwell contemplating non-self (anattānupassī) in form … in feeling (vedanā) … in perception … in volitional formations … that he should dwell contemplating non-self in consciousness. Dwelling contemplating non-self in form … in feeling … in perception … in volitional formations … dwelling contemplating non-self in consciousness, he fully understands form; he fully understands feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness. Fully understanding form, fully understanding feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness, he is freed from form, freed from feeling, freed from perception, freed from volitional formations, freed from consciousness; he is freed from birth, from aging, from death, from sorrow, from lamentation, from pain, from grief, from despair — he is freed from suffering (dukkha), I say. The Kukkuḷa Chapter, the fourth. Its summary (uddāna): The Kukkuḷa; three on the impermanent; three others on suffering; three spoken on non-self; two on the clansman; and two on suffering. ______________ [Note 1: The Po. and Yu. editions read "jarāmaraṇena" (aging-and-death) in place of "jarāya … maraṇena".] In the Shorter Fifty of the Khandha-saṃyutta, the Diṭṭhi Chapter, the fifth.
