“Impermanent, sir.” … “Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they’re freed, they know they’re freed. They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is nothing further for this place.’”
PL
“Aniccaṁ, bhante” … “evaṁ passaṁ, rāhula, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpasmimpi nibbindati …pe… vedanāyapi nibbindati … saññāyapi nibbindati … saṅkhāresupi nibbindati … viññāṇasmimpi nibbindati; nibbindaṁ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati; vimuttasmiṁ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṁ hoti. ‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.

Dasamaṁ. Paṭhamo vaggo. Tassuddānaṁ Cakkhu rūpañca viññāṇaṁ,
PL
samphasso vedanāya ca; Saññā sañcetanā taṇhā, dhātu khandhena te dasāti.
