“Behold the world together with its devas,
conceiving a self in what is non-self,
Settled upon name-and-form,
they conceive, ‘This is true.’
“In whatever way they conceive it,
it turns out otherwise.
That indeed is its falsity,
for the transient is of a false nature.”
~ The Suttanipata: An Ancient Collection of the Buddha’s
Discourses (756-757), translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi
