Then a certain disciple ... said this:

How, venerable sir, does one know and see so that identity view is abandoned?

Disciple, by knowing and seeing the eye as suffering, identity view is abandoned.

By knowing and seeing forms as suffering, identity view is abandoned.

By knowing and seeing eye-consciousness as suffering, identity view is abandoned.

By knowing and seeing eye-contact as suffering, identity view is abandoned ...

Whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition: whether pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant: by knowing and seeing it as suffering, identity view is abandoned.

Thus, disciple, by knowing and seeing in this way, identity view is abandoned.
