[183] Nine dhammas rooted in wise attention (yoniso manasikāra). For one attending wisely (to things) as impermanent, gladness (pāmujja) arises; for one who is gladdened, rapture (pīti) arises; for one whose mind is filled with rapture, the body becomes tranquil; one whose body is tranquil feels happiness; for one who is happy, the mind (citta) becomes concentrated (samādhiyati). With a concentrated mind he understands as it really is (yathābhūta): "This is suffering (dukkha)"; he understands as it really is: "This is the origin of suffering"; he understands as it really is: "This is the cessation of suffering"; he understands as it really is: "This is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering."
