Many people don't know that Buddha did teach circumcision - a bloodless circumcision!  Body, Speech and mind are circumcised to reveal the 3 Vedic sacrificial fires to reveal the true heart that can sacrifice.  No painful cries of children!  No more pain! That's Buddha!

Anatta-lakkhaṇa Sutta   
The Discourse on the Not-self Characteristic

[Evam-me sutaṃ,] Ekaṃ samayaṃ Bhagavā,
Bārāṇasiyaṃ viharati isipatane migadāye.
Tatra kho Bhagavā pañca-vaggiye bhikkhū āmantesi.

I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying at Varanasi in the Game Refuge at Isipatana. There he addressed the group of five monks:

"Rūpaṃ bhikkhave anattā.
Rūpañca hidaṃ bhikkhave attā abhavissa,
Nayidaṃ rūpaṃ ābādhāya saṃvatteyya,
Labbhetha ca rūpe,
Evaṃ me rūpaṃ hotu evaṃ me rūpaṃ mā ahosīti.

"The body, monks, is not self. If the body were the self, this body would not lend itself to dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to the body, 'Let my body be thus. Let my body not be thus.'

Yasmā ca kho bhikkhave rūpaṃ anattā,
Tasmā rūpaṃ ābādhāya saṃvattati,
Na ca labbhati rūpe,
Evaṃ me rūpaṃ hotu evaṃ me rūpaṃ mā ahosīti.

But precisely because the body is not self, the body lends itself to dis-ease. And it is not possible (to say) with regard to the body, 'Let my body be thus. Let my body not be thus.'

Vedanā anattā.
Vedanā ca hidaṃ bhikkhave attā abhavissa,
Nayidaṃ vedanā ābādhāya saṃvatteyya,
Labbhetha ca vedanāya,
Evaṃ me vedanā hotu evaṃ me vedanā mā ahosīti.

Feeling is not self. If feeling were the self, this feeling would not lend itself to dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to feeling, 'Let myfeeling be thus. Let my feeling not be thus.'

Yasmā ca kho bhikkhave vedanā anattā,
Tasmā vedanā ābādhāya saṃvattati,
Na ca labbhati vedanāya,
Evaṃ me vedanā hotu evaṃ me vedanā mā ahosīti.

But precisely because feeling is not self, feeling lends itself to dis-ease. And it is not possible (to say) with regard to feeling, 'Let my feeling be thus. Let my feeling not be thus.'

Saññā anattā.
Saññā ca hidaṃ bhikkhave attā abhavissa,
Nayidaṃ saññā ābādhāya saṃvatteyya,
Labbhetha ca saññāya,
Evaṃ me saññā hotu evaṃ me saññā mā ahosīti.

Perception is not self. If perception were the self, this perception would not lend itself to dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to perception, 'Let my perception be thus. Let my perception not be thus.'

Yasmā ca kho bhikkhave saññā anattā,
Tasmā saññā ābādhāya saṃvattati,
Na ca labbhati saññāya,
Evaṃ me saññā hotu evaṃ me saññā mā ahosīti.

But precisely because perception is not self, perception lends itself to dis-ease. And it is not possible (to say) with regard to perception, 'Let my perception be thus. Let my perception not be thus.'

Saṅkhārā anattā.
Saṅkhārā ca hidaṃ bhikkhave attā abhavissaṃsu,
Nayidaṃ saṅkhārā ābādhāya saṃvatteyyuṃ,
Labbhetha ca saṅkhāresu,
Evaṃ me saṅkhārā hontu evaṃ me saṅkhārā mā ahesunti.

Mental processes are not self. If mental processes were the self, these mental processes would not lend themselves to dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to mental processes, 'Let my mental processes be thus. Let my mental processes not be thus.'

Yasmā ca kho bhikkhave saṅkhārā anattā,
Tasmā saṅkhārā ābādhāya saṃvattanti,
Na ca labbhati saṅkhāresu,
Evaṃ me saṅkhārā hontu evaṃ me saṅkhārā mā ahesunti.

But precisely because mental processes are not self, mental processes lend themselves to dis-ease. And it is not possible (to say) with regard to mental processes, 'Let my mental processes be thus. Let my mental processes not be thus.'

Viññāṇaṃ anattā.
Viññāṇañca hidaṃ bhikkhave attā abhavissa,
Nayidaṃ viññāṇaṃ ābādhāya saṃvatteyya,
Labbhetha ca viññāṇe,
Evaṃ me viññāṇaṃ hotu evaṃ me viññāṇaṃ mā ahosīti.

Consciousness is not self. If consciousness were the self, this consciousness would not lend itself to dis-ease. It would be possible (to say) with regard to consciousness, 'Let my consciousness be thus. Let my consciousness not be thus.'

Yasmā ca kho bhikkhave viññāṇaṃ anattā,
Tasmā viññāṇaṃ ābādhāya saṃvattati,
Na ca labbhati viññāṇe,
Evaṃ me viññāṇaṃ hotu evaṃ me viññāṇaṃ mā ahosīti.

But precisely because consciousness is not self, consciousness lends itself to dis-ease. And it is not possible (to say) with regard to consciousness, 'Let my consciousness be thus. Let my consciousness not be thus.'

Taṃ kiṃ maññatha bhikkhave rūpaṃ niccaṃ vā aniccaṃ vāti."

What do you think, monks — Is the body constant or inconstant?"

"Aniccaṃ bhante."

"Inconstant, lord."

"Yam-panāniccaṃ dukkhaṃ vā taṃ sukhaṃ vāti."

"And is that which is inconstant easeful or stressful?"

"Dukkhaṃ bhante."

"Stressful, lord."

"Yam-panāniccaṃ dukkhaṃ vipariṇāma-dhammaṃ,
Kallaṃ nu taṃ samanupassituṃ,
Etaṃ mama eso'ham-asmi eso me attāti."

"And is it fitting to regard what is inconstant, stressful, subject to change as: 'This is mine. This is my self. This is what I am'?"

"Tasmātiha bhikkhave yaṅkiñci rūpaṃ atītānāgata-paccuppannaṃ,
Ajjhattaṃ vā bahiddhā vā,
Oḷārikaṃ vā sukhumaṃ vā,
Hīnaṃ vā paṇītaṃ vā,
Yandūre santike vā,
Sabbaṃ rūpaṃ,

Thus, monks, any body whatsoever — past, future, or present; internal or external; blatant or subtle; common or sublime; far or near: every body —

Netaṃ mama neso'ham-asmi na meso attāti,
Evam-etaṃ yathābhūtaṃ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṃ.

is to be seen as it actually is with right discernment as: 'This is not mine. This is not my self. This is not what I am.'

Yā kāci vedanā atītānāgata-paccuppannā,
Ajjhattā vā bahiddhā vā,
Oḷārikā vā sukhumā vā,

Any feeling whatsoever — past, future, or present; internal or external; blatant or subtle; common or sublime; far or near: every feeling —

Netaṃ mama neso'ham-asmi na meso attāti,
Evam-etaṃ yathābhūtaṃ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṃ.

is to be seen as it actually is with right discernment as: 'This is not mine. This is not my self. This is not what I am.'

Any perception whatsoever — past, future, or present; internal or external; blatant or subtle; common or sublime; far or near: every perception —

Netaṃ mama neso'ham-asmi na meso attāti,
Evam-etaṃ yathābhūtaṃ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṃ.

is to be seen as it actually is with right discernment as: 'This is not mine. This is not my self. This is not what I am.'

Ye keci saṅkhārā atītānāgata-paccuppannā,
Ajjhattā vā bahiddhā vā,

Any mental processes whatsoever — past, future, or present; internal or external; blatant or subtle; common or sublime; far or near: all mental processes —

Netaṃ mama neso'ham-asmi na meso attāti,
Evam-etaṃ yathābhūtaṃ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṃ.

are to be seen as they actually are with right discernment as: 'This is not mine. This is not my self. This is not what I am.'

Yaṅkiñci viññāṇaṃ atītānāgata-paccuppannaṃ,
Ajjhattaṃ vā bahiddhā vā,

Netaṃ mama neso'ham-asmi na meso attāti,
Evam-etaṃ yathābhūtaṃ sammappaññāya daṭṭhabbaṃ.

is to be seen as it actually is with right discernment as: 'This is not mine. This is not my self. This is not what I am.'

Evaṃ passaṃ bhikkhave sutavā ariya-sāvako,
Rūpasmiṃ pi nibbindati,
Vedanāya pi nibbindati,
Saññāya pi nibbindati,
Saṅkhāresu pi nibbindati,
Viññāṇasmiṃ pi nibbindati.

Seeing thus, the well-instructed disciple of the noble ones grows disenchanted with the body, disenchanted with feeling, disenchanted with perception, disenchanted with mental processes, & disenchanted with consciousness.

Nibbindaṃ virajjati,
Virāgā vimuccati,

Disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate. Through dispassion, he is released.

Vimuttasmiṃ vimuttam-iti ñāṇaṃ hoti,
Khīṇā jāti,
Vusitaṃ brahma-cariyaṃ,
Kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ,
Nāparaṃ itthattāyāti pajānātīti."

With release, there is the knowledge, 'Released.' He discerns that, 'Birth is ended, the holy life fulfilled, the task done. There is nothing further for the sake of this world.'

Idam-avoca Bhagavā,
Attamanā pañca-vaggiyā bhikkhū Bhagavato
bhāsitaṃ abhinanduṃ.

That is what the Blessed One said. Gratified, the group of five monks delighted at his words.

Imasmiñca pana veyyā-karaṇasmiṃ bhaññamāne,
Pañca-vaggiyānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ anupādāya,
Āsavehi cittāni vimucciṃsūti.

And while this explanation was being given, the hearts of the group of five monks, through lack of clinging, were released from the mental effluents.

Thus have I once heard:

The Blessed One was staying in Rajagrha at Vulture Peak along with a great community of monks and great community of bodhisattvas, and at that time, the Blessed One fully entered the meditative concentration on the varieties of phenomena called the Appearance of the Profound. At that very time as well, holy Avalokitsevara, the bodhisattva, the great being, beheld the practice itself of the profound perfection of wisdom, and he even saw the five aggregates as empty of inherent nature.

अथायुष्मान् शारिपुत्रो बुद्धानुभावेन आर्यावलोकितेश्वरं बोधिसत्त्वमेतदवोचत्- यः कश्चित् कुलपुत्रो [वा कुलदुहिता वा अस्यां] गम्भीरायां प्रज्ञापारमितायां चर्यां चर्तुकामः, कथं शिक्षितव्यः ? एवमुक्ते आर्यावलोकितेश्वरो बोधिसत्त्वो महासत्त्वः आयुष्मन्तं शारिपुत्रमेतदवोचत्- यः कश्चिच्छारिपुत्र कुलपुत्रो व कुलदुहिता वा [अस्यां] गम्भीरायां प्रज्ञापारमितायां चर्यां चर्तुकामः, तेनैवं व्यवलोकितव्यम्-पञ्च स्कन्धांस्तांश्च स्वभावशून्यान् समनुपश्यति स्म। रूपं शून्यता, शून्यतैव रूपम्। रूपान्न पृथक् शून्यता, शून्यताया न पृथग् रूपम्। यद्रूपं सा शून्यता, या शून्यता तद्रूपम्। एवं वेदनासंज्ञासंस्कारविज्ञानानि च शून्यता। एवं शारिपुत्र सर्वधर्माः शून्यतालक्षणा अनुत्पन्ना अनिरुद्धा अमला विमला अनूना असंपूर्णाः। तस्मात्तर्हि शारिपुत्र शून्यतायां न रूपम्, न वेदना, स संज्ञा, न संस्काराः, न विज्ञानम्, न चक्षुर्न श्रोत्रं न घ्राणं न जिह्वा न कायो न मनो न रूपं न शब्दो न गन्धो न रसो न स्प्रष्टव्यं न धर्मः। न चक्षुर्धातुर्यावन्न मनोधातुर्न धर्मधातुर्न मनोविज्ञानधातुः। न विद्या नाविद्या न क्षयो यावन्न जरामरणं न जरामरणक्षयः, न दुःखसमुदयनिरोधमार्गा न ज्ञानं न प्राप्तिर्नाप्राप्तिः। तस्माच्छारिपुत्र अप्राप्तित्वेन बोधिसत्त्वानां प्रज्ञापारमितामाश्रित्य विहरति चित्तावरणः। चित्तावरणनास्तित्वादत्रस्तो विपर्यासातिक्रान्तो निष्ठनिर्वाणः। त्र्यध्वव्यवस्थिताः सर्वबुद्धाः प्रज्ञापारमितामाश्रित्य अनुत्तरां सम्यक्संबोधिमभिसंबुद्धाः। तस्माद् ज्ञातव्यः प्रज्ञापारमितामहामन्त्रः अनुत्तरमन्त्रः असमसममन्त्रः सर्वदुःखप्रशमनमन्त्रः सत्यममिथ्यत्वात् प्रज्ञापारमितायामुक्तो मन्त्रः। तद्यथा- गते गते पारगते पारसंगते बोधि स्वाहा। एवं शारिपुत्र गम्भीरायां प्रज्ञापारमितायां चर्यायां शिक्षितव्यं बोधिसत्त्वेन॥

Thereupon, through the Buddha's inspiration, the venerable Sariputra spoke to holy Avalokitsevara, the bodhisattva, the great being, and said, "Any noble son who wishes to engage in the practice of the profound perfection of wisdom should train in what way?"
When this had been said, holy Avalokitsevara, the bodhisattva, the great being, spoke to venerable Sariputra and said, "Sariputra, any noble sons or daughters who wish to practice the perfection of wisdom should see this way: they should see insightfully, correctly, and repeatedly that even the five aggregates are empty of inherent nature. Form is empty, emptiness is form, Emptiness is not other than form, form is also not other than emptiness. Likewise, sensation, discrimination, conditioning, and awareness are empty. In this way, Sariputra, all things are emptiness; they are without defining characteristics; they are not born, they do not cease, they are not defiled, they are not undefiled. They have no increase, they have no decrease.

"Therefore, Sariputra, in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, no discrimination, no conditioning, and no awareness. There is no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind. There is no form, no sound, no smell, no taste, no texture, no phenomenon. There is no eye-element and so on up to no mind-element and also up to no element of mental awareness. There is no ignorance and no elimination of ignorance and so on up to no aging and death and no elimination of aging and death. Likewise, there is no suffering, origin, cessation, or path; there is no wisdom, no attainment, and even no non-attainment.

"Therefore, Sariputra, since the bodhisattvas have no obtainments, they abide relying on the perfection of wisdom. Having no defilements in their minds, they have no fear, and passing completely beyond error, they reach nirvana. Likewise, all the Buddhas abiding in the three times clearly and completely awaken to unexcelled, authentic, and complete awakening in dependence upon the perfection of wisdom.

"Therefore, one should know that the mantra of the perfection of wisdom - the mantra of great knowledge, the precious mantra, the unexcelled mantra, the mantra equal to the unequalled, the mantra that quells all suffering - is true because it is not deceptive. The mantra of the perfection of wisdom is proclaimed:

tadyatha - gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!

Sariputra, a bodhisattva, a great being, should train in the profound perfection of wisdom in that way."

अथ खलु भगवान् तस्मात्समाधेर्व्युत्थाय आर्यावलोकितेश्वरस्य बोधिसत्त्वस्य साधुकारमदात्- साधु साधु कुलपुत्र। एवमेतत् कुलपुत्र, एवमेतद् गम्भीरायां प्रज्ञापारमितायां चर्यं चर्तव्यं यथा त्वया निर्दिष्टम्। अनुमोद्यते तथागतैरर्हद्भिः॥

Thereupon, the Blessed One arose for that meditative concentration, and he commended holy Avalokitsevara, the bodhisattva, the great being. "Excellent!" he said. "Excellent! Excellent! Noble child, it is just so. Noble child, it is just so. One should practice the profound perfection of wisdom in the manner that you have revealed - the Tathagatas rejoice!" This is what the Blessed One said.


इदमवोचद्भगवान्। आनन्दमना आयुष्मान् शारिपुत्रः आर्यावलोकितेश्वरश्च बोधिसत्त्वः सा च सर्वावती परिषत् सदेवमानुषासुरगन्धर्वश्च लोको भगवतो भाषितमभ्यनन्दन्॥

Thereupon, the venerable Sariputra, the holy Avalokitsevara, the bodhisattva, the great being, and that entire assembly along with the world of gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas, all rejoiced and highly praised what the Blessed One had said.
