The Path (Magga Vagga)

Verse 279

Pāli Source

Sabbe dhammā anattā’ti yadā paññāya passati; atha nibbindatī dukkhe, esa maggo visuddhiyā.

English Translation

When one sees with wisdom that all phenomena are without a fixed self, one grows weary of suffering — this is the path to purification.

Editorial Note

The third of the three "marks of existence" verses (277-279) — completes the trio (impermanence, unsatisfactoriness, non-self) begun in D2 and continued just above.
