What\u2019s impermanent is suffering. What\u2019s suffering is not-self. And what\u2019s not-self should be truly seen with right understanding like this: \u2018This is not mine, I am not this, this is not my self.\u2019 Seeing truly with right understanding like this, the mind becomes dispassionate and freed from defilements by not grasping.

If a mendicant\u2019s mind is dispassionate toward the form element, the feeling element, the perception element, the choices element, and the consciousness element, it\u2019s freed from defilements by not grasping. Being free, it\u2019s stable. Being stable, it\u2019s content. Being content, they\u2019re not anxious. Not being anxious, they personally become extinguished. They understand: \u2018Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.\u2019\u201d","title":"Impermanence","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":195}
