Listen \u2026 And what is the practice that leads to the origin of substantial reality? It\u2019s when an unlearned ordinary person has not seen the noble ones, and is neither skilled nor trained in the teaching of the noble ones. They\u2019ve not seen true persons, and are neither skilled nor trained in the teaching of the true persons. They regard form as self, self as having form, form in self, or self in form. They regard feeling as self \u2026 They regard perception as self \u2026 They regard choices as self \u2026 They regard consciousness as self, self as having consciousness, consciousness in self, or self in consciousness. This is called the practice that leads to the origin of substantial reality. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s called a way of regarding things that leads to the origin of suffering. And what is the practice that leads to the cessation of substantial reality?
