4. It’s Not Yours

It’s Not Yours (2nd)

1 At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, give up what’s not yours. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness. And what isn’t yours?

Form isn’t yours: give it up. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.

Feeling …

Perception …

Choices …

Consciousness isn’t yours: give it up. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.

Give up what’s not yours. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.”
