N ow, if someone should say that feeling is his Ego, he should be answered thus: There are three kinds of feeling; pleasurable, painful, and indifferent feeling. Which of these three feelings now do you consider as your Ego? At the moment namely of experiencing one of these feelings, one does not experience the other two. These three kinds of feeling are impermanent, of dependent origin, are subject to decay and dissolution, to fading away and extinction. Whosoever, in experiencing one of these feelings, thinks that this is his Ego, will, after the extinction of that feeling, admit that his Ego has come dissolved. And thus he will consider his Ego already in his present life as impermanent, mixed up with pleasure and pain subject to rising and passing away.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Digha Nikaya, 15

T he perfect One is free from any theory, for the Perfect One has understood what the body is, and how it arises, and passes away. He has understood what feeling is, and how it arises, and passes away. He has understood what perception is, and how it arises, and passes away. He has understood what the mental formations are, and how they arise, and pass away. He has understood what consciousness is, and how it arises, and passes away.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 72

T herefore, I say, the Perfect One has won complete deliverance through the extinction, fading away, disappearance, rejection, and getting rid of all opinions and conjectures, of all inclination to the vainglory of I and mine.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 72

N ow, in understanding wrong understanding as wrong, and right understanding as right, one practices Right Understanding; and in making efforts to overcome wrong understanding, and to arouse right understanding, one practices Right effort; and in overcoming wrong understanding with attentive mind, and dwelling with attentive mind in possession of right understanding, one practices Right Attentiveness. Hence, there are three things that accompany and follow upon right understanding, namely: right understanding, right effort, and right attentiveness.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 117

W hat now is Right Understanding? […]
- The view that alms and offerings are not useless; that there is fruit and result both of good and bad actions; that there are such things as this life and the next life; that father and mother, as also spontaneously born beings (in the heavenly worlds) are no mere words; that there are in the world monks and priests, who are spotless and perfect, who can explain this life and the next life, which they themselves have understood: -this is called the Mundane Right Understanding, which yields worldly fruits and brings good results.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 117

B ut those disciples, in whom these three fetters (Self-illusion, Skepticism and Attachment to Rule and Ritual) have vanished, they have all entered the Stream (sotapanna), have for ever escaped the states of woe, and are assured of final enlightenment.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 22

I f there really existed the Ego, there would be also something which belonged to the Ego. As, however, in truth and reality, neither an Ego nor anything belonging to an Ego can be found, is it therefore not really an utter fool's doctrine to say: This is the world, this am I; after death I shall be permanent, persisting and eternal?

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 22

W hat now is Right Understanding? […]
- Or, when one understands that form, feeling, perception, mental formations and consciousness are transient, (subject to suffering and without an Ego) also in that case one possesses Right Understanding.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 21 (5)

W hat now is Right Understanding?
- 1. To understand suffering; 2. To understand the origin of suffering; 3. To understand the extinction of suffering; 4. To understand the path that leads to the extinction of suffering. This is called Right Understanding.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Digha Nikaya, 22

G ive ear then, for the Immortal Is found. I reveal, I set forth the Truth. As I reveal it to you, so act! And that supreme goal of the holy life, for the sake of which sons of good families go forth from home to the homeless state: this you will, in no long time, in this very life, make known to yourself, realize and attain.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 26

B ut each one has to struggle for himself, the Perfect Ones have only pointed out the way.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Khuddaka Nikaya, Dhammapada, 276

I t is the Noble Eightfold Path, the way that leads to the extinction of suffering, namely:
i. 1. Right Understanding, Samma-ditthi
ii. 2. Right Mindedness, Samma-sankappa
iii. 3. Right Speech, Sarnma-vaca
iv. 4. Right Action, Samma-kammanta
v. 5. Right Living, Samma-ajiva
vi. 6. Right Effort, Samma-vayama
vii. 7. Right Attentiveness, Samma-sati
viii. 8. Right Concentration, Samma-samadhi

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 56

T o give oneself up to indulgence in Sensual Pleasure the base, common, vulgar, unholy, unprofitable, and also to give oneself up to Self-mortification, the painful, unholy, unprofitable; both these two extremes the Perfect One has avoided and found out the Middle Path which makes one both to see and to know, which leads to peace, to discernment, to enlightenment, to Nibbana.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 56

T here is an Unborn, Un-originated, Uncreated, Unformed. If these were not this Unborn, this Un-originated, this Uncreated, this Unformed, escape from, the world of the born, the originated, the created, the formed, would not be possible. But since there is an Unborn, Un-originated, Uncreated, Unformed, therefore is escape possible from the world of the born, the originated, the created, the formed.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Khuddaka Nikaya, Udana, VIII.3

T he extinction of greed, the extinction of anger, the extinction of delusion: this indeed is called Nibbana.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Anguttara Nikaya, III.53

H ence, the annihilation, cessation and overcoming of bodily form, feeling, perception, mental formations and consciousness, this is the extinction of suffering, the end of disease, the overcoming of old age and death.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 12

T here will come a time, when the mighty ocean will dry up, vanish, and be no more. There will come a time, when the mighty earth will be devoured by fire, perish, and be no more. But yet there will be no end to the suffering of beings, who, obstructed by ignorance and ensnared by craving, are hurrying and hastening through this round of rebirths.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 21 (10)

A nd wherever the beings spring into existence, there their deeds will ripen; and wherever their deeds ripen, there they will earn the fruits of those deeds, be it in this life, or be it in the next life, or be it in any other future life.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Anguttara Nikaya, III 33

A nd further, people take the evil way in deeds, the evil way in words, the evil way in thoughts; and by taking the evil way in deeds, words and thoughts, at the dissolution of the body, after death, they fall into a downward state of existence, a state of suffering, into perdition and the abyss of hell. But his is the misery of sensuous craving, the heaping up of suffering in the future life, due to sensuous craving, conditioned through sensuous craving, caused by sensuous craving, entirely dependent on sensuous craving.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 38

T hus, whatever kind of Feeling one experiences,-pleasant, unpleasant or indifferent-one approves of and cherishes the feeling and clings to it; and while doing so, lust springs up; but lust for feelings means clinging to existence (upadana); and on clinging to existence depends the (action-) Process of Becoming (bhava, here kamma-bhava); on the process of becoming depends (future) Birth (jati); and dependent on birth are Decay and Death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair. Thus arises this whole mass of suffering.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 38

W hat now is the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering? It is that craving which gives rise to fresh rebirth, and, bound up with pleasure and lust, now here, now there, finds ever-fresh delight.
There is the Sensual Craving, the Craving for Eternal Existence, the Craving for Temporal Happiness.
But where does this craving arise and take root? Wherever in the world there is the delightful and pleasurable, there this craving arises and takes root. Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body and mind are delightful and pleasurable; there this craving arises and takes root.
Forms, sounds, smells, tastes, bodily touches and ideas are delightful and pleasurable: there this craving arises and takes root.
Consciousness, sense contact, the feeling born of sense contact, perception, will, craving, thinking and reflecting are delightful and pleasurable: there this craving arises and takes root.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Digha Nikaya, 22

W hoso delights in bodily form, or feeling, or perception, or mental formations, or consciousness, he delights in suffering; and whoso delights in suffering will not be freed from suffering. Thus I say.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 21

S uppose, a man, who can see, were to behold the many bubbles on the Ganges as they are driving along. And he should watch them and carefully examine them. After carefully examining them, they will appear to him as empty, unreal, and unsubstantial. In exactly the same way does the monk behold all the bodily forms, feelings, perceptions, mental formations and states of consciousness. Whether they be of the past, or the present, or the future, far or near. And he watches them and examines them carefully, and, after carefully examining them, they appear to him as empty, void and without an Ego.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 21 (6)

T herefore, whatever there be of bodily form, of feeling, perception, mental formations or consciousness, whether one's own or external, whether gross or subtle, lofty or low, far or near, one should understand according to reality and true wisdom: This does not belong, to me; this am I not; this is not my Ego.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Samyutta Nikaya, 21 (5)

O ne should understand according to reality and true wisdom: This does not belong to me; this am I not; this is not my Ego.

Buddha Sakyamuni quote, Buddhism
Majjhima Nikaya, 28
