Bhikkhū, properly attend to the eye. Truly see the anicca of the eye.

“Cakkhuṁ, bhikkhave, yoniso manasi karotha, cakkhāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassatha.

When a bhikkhu does this, they grow disillusioned with the eye.

Cakkhuṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yoniso manasikaronto, cakkhāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassanto cakkhusmimpi nibbindati.

When relishing ends, greed ends. When greed ends, relishing ends.

Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo;

rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo.

When relishing and greed end, the mind is said to be well freed.

Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ suvimuttanti vuccati.

Properly attend to the ear …

Sotaṁ, bhikkhave, yoniso manasi karotha …

nose …

ghānaṁ …

tongue …

jivhaṁ, bhikkhave, yoniso manasi karotha, jivhāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassatha.

Jivhaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yoniso manasikaronto, jivhāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassanto jivhāyapi nibbindati.

Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo;

rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo.

Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ suvimuttanti vuccati.

body …

Kāyaṁ …

mind. Truly see the anicca of the mind.

manaṁ, bhikkhave, yoniso manasi karotha, manāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassatha.

When a bhikkhu does this, they grow disillusioned with the mind.

Manaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yoniso manasikaronto, manāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassanto manasmimpi nibbindati.

When relishing ends, greed ends. When greed ends, relishing ends.

Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo;

rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo.

When relishing and greed end, the mind is said to be well freed.”

Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ suvimuttanti vuccatī”ti.
