[795] "Vaccha, the wanderers of other sects (aññatitthiyā paribbājakā) regard form (rūpa) as self, or self as possessing form, or form as in self, or self as in form. They regard feeling (vedanā) as self … perception (saññā) … volitional formations (saṅkhārā) … they regard consciousness (viññāṇa) as self, or self as possessing consciousness, or consciousness as in self, or self as in consciousness. Therefore, when the wanderers of other sects are asked thus, they give such answers as: 'The world is eternal,' or … or 'A Tathāgata neither exists nor does not exist after death.'
"But, Vaccha, the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One, does not regard form as self, nor self as possessing form, nor form as in self, nor self as in form; he does not regard feeling as self … nor perception … nor volitional formations … he does not regard consciousness as self, nor self as possessing consciousness, nor consciousness as in self, nor self as in consciousness. Therefore, when the Tathāgata is asked thus, he does not give such answers as: 'The world is eternal,' … or 'A Tathāgata neither exists nor does not exist after death.'"
