—

About five hundred years after the dialogue between the monk Nagasena and the king, the same deconstruction of self was rephrased by the eighth-century Indian master Shantideva—only he took it a step further:

The teeth, the hair, the nails are not the “I,”

And “I” is not the bones or blood;

The mucus from the nose, and phlegm, are not the “I,”

And neither is it made from lymph or pus.

The “I” is not the body’s grease or sweat,

The lungs and liver likewise do not constitute it.

Neither are the inner organs “I.”

Nor yet the body’s excrement and waste.
