“यं, भिक्खवे, न तुम्हाकं, तं पजहथ। तं वो पहीनं हिताय सुखाय भविस्सति। किञ्च, भिक्खवे, न तुम्हाकं? रूपं, भिक्खवे, न तुम्हाकं, तं पजहथ। तं वो पहीनं हिताय सुखाय भविस्सति।

“Yaṁ, bhikkhave, na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissati. Kiñca, bhikkhave, na tumhākaṁ? Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissati.

“Bhikkhus, 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.

वेदना न तुम्हाकं, तं पजहथ। सा वो पहीना हिताय सुखाय भविस्सति।

Vedanā na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Sā vo pahīnā hitāya sukhāya bhavissati.

Viññāṇaṁ na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissati.

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

सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, यं इमस्मिं जेतवने तिणकट्ठसाखापलासं तं जनो हरेय्य वा डहेय्य वा यथापच्चयं वा करेय्य। अपि नु तुम्हाकं एवमस्स: ‘अम्हे जनो हरति वा डहति वा यथापच्चयं वा करोतीऽ”ति?

Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, yaṁ imasmiṁ jetavane tiṇakaṭṭhasākhāpalāsaṁ taṁ jano hareyya vā ḍaheyya vā yathāpaccayaṁ vā kareyya. Api nu tumhākaṁ evamassa: ‘amhe jano harati vā ḍahati vā yathāpaccayaṁ vā karotī’”ti?

Suppose a person was to carry off the grass, sticks, branches, and leaves in this Jeta’s Grove, or burn them, or do what they want with them. Would you think: ‘This person is carrying us off, burning us, or doing what they want with us’?”

“नो हेतं, भन्ते”। “तं किस्स हेतु”? “न हि नो एतं, भन्ते, अत्ता वा अत्तनियं वा”ति।

“No hetaṁ, bhante”. “Taṁ kissa hetu”? “Na hi no etaṁ, bhante, attā vā attaniyaṁ vā”ti.

“No, sir. Why is that? Because that’s neither self nor belonging to self.”

“एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, रूपं न तुम्हाकं, तं पजहथ। तं वो पहीनं हिताय सुखाय भविस्सति।

“Evameva kho, bhikkhave, rūpaṁ na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Taṁ vo pahīnaṁ hitāya sukhāya bhavissati.

“In the same way, bhikkhus, form isn’t yours: give it up. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.

वेदना न तुम्हाकं, तं पजहथ। सा वो पहीना हिताय सुखाय भविस्सति।

Vedanā na tumhākaṁ, taṁ pajahatha. Sā vo pahīnā hitāya sukhāya bhavissati.
