[89] At Sāvatthī. There indeed … "Bhikkhus, I will teach you the way of practice leading to the origin of identity (sakkāya), and the way of practice leading to the cessation of identity. Listen to that.
"And what, bhikkhus, is the way of practice leading to the origin of identity? Here, bhikkhus, the uninstructed worldling (puthujjana) — who has no regard for the noble ones, is unskilled in the Dhamma of the noble ones, is undisciplined in the Dhamma of the noble ones; who has no regard for good persons, is unskilled in the Dhamma of good persons, is undisciplined in the Dhamma of good persons — regards form (rūpa) as self, or self as possessing form, or form as in self, or self as in form; he regards feeling (vedanā) as self … perception … volitional formations … he regards consciousness as self, or self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in self, or self as in consciousness. This, bhikkhus, is called the way of practice leading to the origin of identity. Thus, bhikkhus, when this is said, the meaning here is just this: a way of regarding that leads to the origin of suffering (dukkha)."
