SN35.30 — The Discourse on the Suitable Way for the Uprooting of All Conceit
Disciples, I will teach you the path suitable for the uprooting of all conceit. Listen to it, pay close attention, and I will speak.
And what, disciples, is the path suitable for the uprooting of all conceit?
Here, disciples, a disciple does not conceive the eye, does not conceive in the eye, does not conceive from the eye, does not conceive the eye is mine.
He does not conceive forms, does not conceive in forms, does not conceive from forms, does not conceive forms are mine.
He does not conceive eye-consciousness, does not conceive in eye-consciousness, does not conceive from eye-consciousness, does not conceive eye-consciousness is mine.
He does not conceive eye-contact, does not conceive in eye-contact, does not conceive from eye-contact, does not conceive eye-contact is mine.
Whatever feeling arises with eye-contact as condition: be it pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant: he does not conceive that, does not conceive in that, does not conceive from that, does not conceive that is mine. …
He does not conceive the tongue, does not conceive in the tongue, does not conceive from the tongue, does not conceive the tongue is mine.
He does not conceive tastes, does not conceive in tastes, does not conceive from tastes, does not conceive tastes are mine.
He does not conceive tongue-consciousness, does not conceive in tongue-consciousness, does not conceive from tongue-consciousness, does not conceive tongue-consciousness is mine.
He does not conceive tongue-contact, does not conceive in tongue-contact, does not conceive from tongue-contact, does not conceive tongue-contact is mine.
Whatever feeling arises with tongue-contact as condition: be it pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant: he does not conceive that, does not conceive in that, does not conceive from that, does not conceive that is mine. …
He does not conceive the mind, does not conceive in the mind, does not conceive from the mind, does not conceive the mind is mine.
He does not conceive mental phenomena, does not conceive in mental phenomena, does not conceive from mental phenomena, does not conceive mental phenomena are mine.
He does not conceive mind-consciousness, does not conceive in mind-consciousness, does not conceive from mind-consciousness, does not conceive mind-consciousness is mine.
He does not conceive mind-contact, does not conceive in mind-contact, does not conceive from mind-contact, does not conceive mind-contact is mine.
Whatever feeling arises with mind-contact as condition: be it pleasant, painful, or neither-painful-nor-pleasant: he does not conceive that, does not conceive in that, does not conceive from that, does not conceive that is mine.
He does not conceive anything, he does not conceive in regard to everything, he does not conceive from every perspective, he does not conceive I am in anything.
Thus, not conceiving in this way, he does not cling to anything in the world.
Not clinging, he does not tremble. Not trembling, he personally attains final Nibbāna.
He knows: Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more of this state of being.
This, disciples, is the path suitable for the complete eradication of all conceivings.
