10. The Sixes

It’s Not Yours (2nd)

ā€œMendicants, give up what’s not yours. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness. And what isn’t yours?

The eye isn’t yours: give it up. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness. Sights … Eye consciousness … Eye contact …

The pleasant, painful, or neutral feeling that arises dependent on mind contact isn’t yours: give it up. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.

Give up what’s not yours. Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.ā€
