<p>「我於五受陰觀察非我、非我所，而非阿羅漢者，我於我慢、我欲、我使，未斷、未知、未離、未吐。」</p>

<p>The above is translated by a Ven. Anālayo as "‘I examine these five aggregates of clinging as not self and not belonging to the self, yet I am not an arahant, with the influxes being eradicated.

<p>If possible, I would like to know how 所 in 非我所 implies "and not belonging to the self"?</p>

According to [Wikipedia](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%88%91%E6%89%80%E5%9F%B7):

> 我所包括我的财富资产、我的眷属(父母、伴侣、子女、亲友)、我的成就、我的世间智慧能力、我的名声等。

> 我所：意指“我的所有”。

我所 means 我的所有 or *my everything* or *anything that belongs to me*.
非 means *not*, thus 非我所 implies *not belonging to me*
