The Exterior and the End of RelishingBāhiranandikkhayasutta

“Mendicants, sights really are impermanent. A mendicant sees that they are impermanent: that’s their right view.“Anicceyeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhu rūpe aniccāti passati, sāssa hoti sammādiṭṭhi. Seeing rightly, they grow disillusioned.Sammā passaṁ nibbindati. When relishing ends, greed ends. When greed ends, relishing ends.Nandikkhayā rāgakkhayo; When relishing and greed end, the mind is said to be well freed.Nandirāgakkhayā cittaṁ suvimuttanti vuccati.
