“In
seeing six rewards, it’s enough motivation for a monk to establish the
perception of inconstancy with regard to all fabrications without
exception. Which six? ‘All fabrications will appear as unstable. My mind
will not delight in any world. My mind will rise above every world. My
heart will be inclined to Unbinding. My fetters will go to their
abandoning. I’ll be endowed with the foremost qualities of the
contemplative life.’ In seeing these six rewards, it’s enough for a monk
to establish the perception of inconstancy with regard to all
fabrications without exception.”

these, the brahmin (arahat) goes without punishment.

Hard’s the going-forth, hard to delight in it,

not one whom dukkha befalls.

to dukkha.
