The Interior as Suffering

“Mendicants, the eye is suffering.
What’s suffering is not-self.
And what’s not-self should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’
The ear,
nose,
tongue,
body,
and mind are suffering.
What’s suffering is not-self.
And what’s not-self should be truly seen with right understanding like this: ‘This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.’
Seeing this …
They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
