    Sometimes lengthy writings and texts may not be as potent and powerful as a short and concise pointer deeply contemplated and penetrated. This short teaching by Buddha has led to my anatta breakthrough and for many others. A crucial pointer. English and Chinese:
    In the seen, there is only the seen,
    in the heard, there is only the heard,
    in the sensed, there is only the sensed,
    in the cognized, there is only the cognized.
    Thus you should see that
    indeed there is no thing here;
    this, Bahiya, is how you should train yourself.
    Since, Bahiya, there is for you
    in the seen, only the seen,
    in the heard, only the heard,
    in the sensed, only the sensed,
    in the cognized, only the cognized,
    and you see that there is no thing here,
    you will therefore see that
    indeed there is no thing there.
    As you see that there is no thing there,
    you will see that
    you are therefore located neither in the world of this,
    nor in the world of that,
    nor in any place
    betwixt the two.
    This alone is the end of suffering.” (ud. 1.10)

    I'm wondering if I'm the only one who ended up with I Am insight while contemplating this sutta 🤣 . Thankfully since the sutta also said nothing about this I Am I didn't end up stuck there.

    Tan Jui Horng you are not the only one
    The Indonesian monk also
    Later on i explained bahiya sutta and anatta to him, he realised anatta
    Then he told me throughout indonesia no others have realised anatta

    Nice. Only 4 things to contemplate, very short so easy to hold in memory, little else to distract the practitioner so easier to get to "somewhere"
