[49] Bhikkhus, there are these four distortions of perception, distortions of mind (citta), and distortions of view. What four? The distortion of perception, the distortion of mind, the distortion of view that takes the impermanent to be permanent; the distortion of perception, the distortion of mind, the distortion of view that takes what is suffering (dukkha) to be pleasant; the distortion of perception, the distortion of mind, the distortion of view that takes what is non-self to be self; the distortion of perception, the distortion of mind, the distortion of view that takes the foul to be beautiful. These, bhikkhus, are the four distortions of perception, distortions of mind, and distortions of view.
Bhikkhus, there are these four non-distortions of perception, non-distortions of mind, and non-distortions of view. What four? The non-distortion of perception, the non-distortion of mind, the non-distortion of view that takes the impermanent to be impermanent; the non-distortion of perception, the non-distortion of mind, the non-distortion of view that takes what is suffering to be suffering; the non-distortion of perception, the non-distortion of mind, the non-distortion of view that takes what is non-self to be non-self; the non-distortion of perception, the non-distortion of mind, the non-distortion of view that takes the foul to be foul. These, bhikkhus, are the four non-distortions of perception, non-distortions of mind, and non-distortions of view.
Perceiving permanence in the impermanent,
and pleasure in what is suffering,
perceiving self in what is non-self,
and beauty in the foul,
beings struck down by wrong view,
their minds deranged, their perception awry —
such people are yoked to the yoke of Māra;
they do not attain security from bondage.
Beings go on to saṃsāra,
faring on to birth and death.
But when Buddhas, makers of light,
arise in the world,
they make known this Dhamma
that leads to the stilling of suffering.
Having heard it, the wise
regained their own minds:
they saw the impermanent as impermanent,
they saw suffering as suffering,
what is non-self as non-self,
and they saw the foul as foul.
Having taken up right view,
they have overcome all suffering.
