“ Form does not exist as a self. If form existed as a self, then form would not be associated with the arising of illness and suffering. Regarding form, it is also not possible to cause it to be like this, or not like this, because form is not oneself. From form and the arising of illness and suffering, one also grasps the desire to make form like this, or not like this. ”
Quotes from Saṃyuktāgama 34: Five Bhikṣus ()
“ After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the group of five bhikṣus did not give rise to outflows, and their minds attained liberation. After the Buddha had spoken this sutra, the bhikṣus heard what the Buddha had truly said, and blissfully practiced in accordance. ”
