How to eliminate & leave behind Wrong View?

How to eliminate & leave behind Wrong View?

Once a certain Bhikkhu approached the Blessed One and asked him:
Venerable Sir, how should one know & see, for leaving any wrong view,
for eliminating any belief in an ego, for overcoming all 'self'-making?
Bhikkhu, when one knows and sees any eye, form, eye-consciousness,
eye-contact, & feeling arised caused by eye-contact as impermanent,
when one sees this is not mine, that wrong view, that belief in an ego,
that making up of a self, is overcome, eliminated and all abandoned...
Bhikkhu, when one knows & sees any ear, sound, ear-consciousness,
ear-contact, & any feeling arised caused by ear-contact as transient,
when one sees this is not "I", that wrong view, that belief in an ego,
that making up of a self, is overcome, eliminated and all abandoned...
Bhikkhu, when one knows & sees any nose, smell, nose-consciousness,
nose-contact, & any feeling arised caused by nose-contact as temporary,
when one sees this is not me, that wrong view, that belief in an ego,
that making up of a self, is overcome, eliminated and all abandoned...
Bhikkhu, when one knows & sees any tongue, taste, tongue-consciousness,
tongue-contact, & feeling arised caused by tongue-contact as short-lived,
when one sees this is not mine, that wrong view, that belief in an ego,
that making up of a self, is overcome, eliminated and all abandoned...
Bhikkhu, when one knows & sees any body, touch, body-consciousness,
body-contact, & feeling arised caused by body-contact as ephemeral,
when one sees this is not my self, that wrong view, that belief in an ego,
that making up of a self, is overcome, eliminated and all abandoned...
Bhikkhu, when one knows & sees any mind, thought, mind-consciousness,
mental-contact, & feeling arised caused by mind-contact as momentary,
when one sees this is not 'my self', that wrong view, that belief in an ego,
that making up of a soul, is overcome, eliminated and all abandoned...
