[4] Bhikkhus, forms are impermanent. What is impermanent is suffering (dukkha); what is suffering is non-self (anattā); what is non-self should be seen with right wisdom as it really is (yathābhūta) thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self." Sounds, odors, tastes, tangibles, and mental phenomena (dhammā) are impermanent. What is impermanent is suffering; what is suffering is non-self; what is non-self should be seen with right wisdom as it really is thus: "This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self." Bhikkhus, seeing thus, the instructed noble disciple becomes disenchanted with forms, becomes disenchanted with sounds, becomes disenchanted with odors, becomes disenchanted with tastes, becomes disenchanted with tangibles, becomes disenchanted with mental phenomena. Being disenchanted, he becomes dispassionate; through dispassion he is liberated. When liberated, there is the knowledge (ñāṇa): "Liberated." He understands: "Birth (jāti) is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being." The fourth.
