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

“Rūpe, bhikkhave, yoniso manasi karotha, rūpāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassatha.

When a bhikkhu does this, they grow disillusioned with sights.

Rūpe, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yoniso manasikaronto, rūpāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassanto rūpesupi 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 sounds …

Sadde …

smells …

thoughts. Truly see the anicca of thoughts.

dhamme, bhikkhave, yoniso manasi karotha, dhammāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassatha.

When a bhikkhu does this, they grow disillusioned with thoughts.

Dhamme, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yoniso manasikaronto, dhammāniccatañca yathābhūtaṁ samanupassanto dhammesupi nibbindati.

When relishing ends, greed ends.

Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo;

When greed ends, relishing ends.

rāgakkhayā nandikkhayo.

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

Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ suvimuttanti vuccatī”ti.
