Ex. 4 (Part 1 of 5)
Atha kho Bhagavaa pa�cavaggiye bhikkhuu aamantesi:
�Ruupa.m, bhikkhave, anattaa. Ruupa.m ca h�ida.m,
bhikkhave, attaa abhavissa, nayida.m ruupa.m
aabaadhaaya sa.mvatteyya, labbhetha ca ruupe: �eva.m
me ruupa.m hotu, eva.m me ruupa.m maa ahosii�ti.
Yasmaa ca kho, bhikkhave, ruupa.m anattaa, tasmaa
ruupa.m aabaadhaaya sa.mvattati, na ca labbhati ruupe:
�eva.m me ruupa.m hotu, eva.m me ruupa.m maa
ahosii�ti.
Then the Blessed One addressed the group of five
monks: �Form, monks, is not self. And if form were
self, monks, then form would not be conducive to
disease, and one could have it of form: �May my form
be thus, may my form be not thus�. But since, monks,
form is not self, then form is conducive to disease,
and one can not have it of form: �May my form be thus,
may my form be not thus��.
