‘In the seen, only the seen.
In the heard, only the heard.
In the sensed, only the sensed.
In the cognised, only the cognised.
Then, Bāhiya, there will be no ‘’you” in connection with that.’
The Buddha
Pali Canon

‘All conditioned things are not-self’ — when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering. This is the path to purification.
The Dhammapada
Morning meditation — The person who has no preferences.
‘The person who has no preferences and has overcome all views, what would he be attached to in the world?’
Alagaddupama Sutta
Morning meditation — Just as a rock is not shaken by a storm, the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

The Dhammapada
Morning meditation — Here, bhikkhus, some misguided men learn the Dhamma.
‘Here, bhikkhus, some misguided men learn the Dhamma — discourses, stanzas, expositions, verses, exclamations, sayings, and answers to questions — but having learned the Dhamma, they do not examine the meaning of those teachings with wisdom.’
Alagaddupama Sutta
Morning meditation — And for one who sees the cessation of the world as it truly is with wisdom.
‘And for one who sees the cessation of the world as it truly is with wisdom, There is no notion of existence.’
Kaccānagotta Sutta
Morning meditation — This world is supported by a polarity.
‘This world is supported by a polarity: by existence and non-existence.
But for one who sees the arising of the world as it truly is with wisdom, There is no notion of non-existence.’
