Kālattayaanattasutta

Not-Self in the Three Times

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

At Sāvatthī.

“Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, anattā atītānāgataṁ;

“Mendicants, form of the past and future is not-self,

ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.

let alone the present.

Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ rūpasmiṁ anapekkho hoti;

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past form,

anāgataṁ rūpaṁ nābhinandati;

doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form,

paccuppannassa rūpassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.

and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form.

Vedanā anattā …

Feeling …

saññā anattā …

Perception …

saṅkhārā anattā …

Choices …

viññāṇaṁ anattā atītānāgataṁ;

Consciousness of the past and future is not-self,

ko pana vādo paccuppannassa.

let alone the present.

Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ viññāṇasmiṁ anapekkho hoti;

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple is not concerned with past consciousness,

anāgataṁ viññāṇaṁ nābhinandati;

doesn’t look forward to enjoying future consciousness,

paccuppannassa viññāṇassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti.

and they practice for the disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present consciousness.”

Ekādasamaṁ.

Nakulapituvaggo paṭhamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Nakulapitā devadahā,

Dvepi hāliddikāni ca;

Samādhipaṭisallāṇā,

Upādāparitassanā duve;

Atītānāgatapaccuppannā,

Vaggo tena pavuccati.
