[665] Bhikkhus, the perception of cessation (nirodhasaññā), when developed and cultivated, is of great fruit and great benefit. And how, bhikkhus, is the perception of cessation developed, how is it cultivated, so that it is of great fruit and great benefit? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops the awakening factor of mindfulness (satisambojjhaṅga) accompanied by the perception of cessation … he develops the awakening factor of equanimity accompanied by the perception of cessation, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in relinquishment. Developed in this way, bhikkhus, cultivated in this way, the perception of cessation is of great fruit and great benefit.
