…Just as a rain cloud would settle
the dust blown up by the wind,
so thoughts settle down
when seen with wisdom.
All conditions are impermanent—
when this is seen with wisdom
one grows disillusioned with suffering:
this is the path to purity.
All conditions are suffering—
when this is seen with wisdom
one grows disillusioned with suffering:
this is the path to purity.
All things are not-self—
when this is seen with wisdom
one grows disillusioned with suffering:
this is the path to purity.…”
