Not Determined by AnythingAtammayasutta

“Mendicants, seeing six benefits is quite enough to establish the perception of not-self in all things without qualification.“Cha, bhikkhave, ānisaṁse sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā sabbadhammesu anodhiṁ karitvā anattasaññaṁ upaṭṭhāpetuṁ. What six?Katame cha? ‘I will not be determined by anything in the world.’ ‘My I-making will stop.’ ‘My mine-making will stop.’ ‘I will have distinct knowledge.’ ‘I will clearly see causes and the phenomena that arise from causes.’Sabbaloke ca atammayo bhavissāmi, ahaṅkārā ca me uparujjhissanti, mamaṅkārā ca me uparujjhissanti, asādhāraṇena ca ñāṇena samannāgato bhavissāmi, hetu ca me sudiṭṭho bhavissati, hetusamuppannā ca dhammā. Seeing these six benefits is quite enough to establish the perception of not-self in all things without qualification.”Ime kho, bhikkhave, cha ānisaṁse sampassamānena alameva bhikkhunā sabbadhammesu anodhiṁ karitvā anattasaññaṁ upaṭṭhāpetun”ti.
