[34] [32]

Thus have I heard:—

The Exalted One was staying at Sāvatthī.

The Exalted One said:

"What is not of you, brethren, put it away. Putting it away will be for your profit and welfare.

And what, brethren, is not of you?

Body, brethren, is not of you.

Put it away.

Putting it away
will be for your profit and welfare.

Feeling, brethren, is not of you.

Put it away.

Putting it away
will be for your profit and welfare.

Perception, brethren, is not of you.

Put it away.

Putting it away
will be for your profit and welfare.

The activities, brethren, are not of you.

Put them away.

Putting them away
will be for your profit and welfare.

Consciousness, brethren, is not of you.

Put it away.

Putting it away
will be for your profit and welfare.
