      3. Bhikkhu, the eye is non-self. The eye which is non-self should be perceived with insight wisdom, as it really is, thus: 'This is not mine. This is not I. This is not my Self (atta).' The ear is non-self ...p... The nose is non-self ...p... The tongue is non-self ...p... The body is non-self ...p... The mind is non-self. The mind which is non-self should be perceived with insight wisdom, as it really is, thus; 'This is not mine. This is not I. This is not my Self (atta).' On perceiving thus ...p... there is nothing more to do (for such realization).'

End of the Ajjhattanatta Sutta,
