Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of ‘not-self’.“‘anattā, anattā’ti, bhante, vuccati. What is not-self?”Katamo nu kho, bhante, anattā”ti?

“Rādha, form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are not-self.“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, anattā, vedanā anattā, saññā anattā, saṅkhārā anattā, viññāṇaṁ anattā.

Seeing this …Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
