“Bhikkhū, form of the past and future is anicca,

“Rūpaṁ, bhikkhave, aniccaṁ atītānāgataṁ;

let alone the present.

Seeing this, a learned noble disciple doesn’t worry about past form,

Evaṁ passaṁ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītasmiṁ rūpasmiṁ anapekkho hoti;

doesn’t look forward to enjoying future form,

anāgataṁ rūpaṁ nābhinandati;

and they practice for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding present form.
