Preicous Garland 54. Just as a mirage is seemingly water But not water and does not in fact exist [as water], So the aggregates are seemingly a self But not a self and do not exist in fact. |

Entering The Middle Way In that it has been stated in other such sutras that form and feelings are not self, and discrimination too is not, mental formations are not self, and consciousness too is not, the Buddha does not accept the statement that the aggregates are the self. 6.133 Thus the Buddha said the self is dependent upon these six of earth, water, fire, wind, consciousness, and space and also on the six sense faculties of the eyes and so on, which are in turn the bases for contact. 6.138 He also said the self is conceived on the basis of the mind and mental factors. Therefore self is neither identical to any of these factors, nor is it their mere collection. Thus the thought “I am” does not grasp any of these. 6.139 |

Sixty Stanzas of Reasoning 42. When “this” or “that” [appears a fact], Yet when analyzed is not perceived, What wise person would advocate with arguments That “this” or “that” is [really] true? |
