      2. Bhikkhus, the eye is dukkha. That which is dukkha 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 dukkha . . .p... The nose is dukkha ...p... The tongue is dukkha ...p... The body is dukkha ...p... The mind is dukkha. That which is dukkha 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)
