[25] Bhikkhus, I shall teach you seven principles of non-decline (aparihāniyā dhammā) …
And what, bhikkhus, are the seven principles of non-decline? So long, bhikkhus, as the bhikkhus develop the perception of impermanence (aniccasaññā), growth alone is to be expected for the bhikkhus, not decline. So long, bhikkhus, as the bhikkhus develop the perception of non-self (anattasaññā) … develop the perception of unattractiveness (asubhasaññā), develop the perception of danger (ādīnavasaññā), develop the perception of abandonment (pahānasaññā), develop the perception of dispassion (virāgasaññā), develop the perception of cessation (nirodhasaññā), growth alone is to be expected for the bhikkhus, not decline.
So long, bhikkhus, as these seven principles of non-decline stand among the bhikkhus, and the bhikkhus are seen to abide in these seven principles of non-decline, growth alone is to be expected for the bhikkhus, not decline.
