[373] Bhikkhus, seeing six benefits, it is quite enough for a bhikkhu to establish the perception of impermanence (aniccasaññā) in regard to all conditioned things (saṅkhārā), without making any limitation. What six? (He reflects:) 'All conditioned things will appear to me as unstable; my mind (citta)¹ will find no delight in the entire world; my mind will emerge from the entire world; my mind will incline toward Nibbāna; my fetters will go to abandonment; and I shall be endowed with the supreme asceticism (sāmañña).' Bhikkhus, seeing these six benefits, it is quite enough for a bhikkhu to establish the perception of impermanence in regard to all conditioned things, without making any limitation. ¹ The Pali here uses *mano* and *mānasaṃ*, rendered "mind" throughout.
