[112] How is wisdom in reflecting upon an object and contemplating its dissolution knowledge (ñāṇa) of insight (vipassanā)?
Mind (citta) having form as its object arises and breaks up. Having reflected upon that object, one contemplates the dissolution of that mind. "One contemplates": how does one contemplate? One contemplates as impermanent, not as permanent; one contemplates as suffering (dukkha), not as pleasant; one contemplates as not-self, not as self; one becomes disenchanted, does not delight; one becomes dispassionate, is not impassioned; one brings about cessation, does not bring about origination; one relinquishes, does not grasp. Contemplating as impermanent, one abandons the perception of permanence; contemplating as suffering, one abandons the perception of pleasure; contemplating as not-self, one abandons the perception of self; becoming disenchanted, one abandons delight; becoming dispassionate, one abandons lust; bringing about cessation, one abandons origination; relinquishing, one abandons grasping.
