�Volitional formations, monks, are not self. And if
volitional formations were self, monks, then
volitional formations would not be conducive to
disease, and one could have it of volitional
formations: �May my volitional formations be thus, may
my volitional formations be not thus�. But since,
monks, volitional formations are not self, then
volitional formations are conducive to disease, and
one can not have it of volitional formations: �May my
volitional formations be thus, may my volitional
formations be not thus��.
