- The Last Journey of Buddha -
“O Bhikkhus. And if the practitioners [1] cultivate the thought that all things are impermanent in the future world, [2] and if you cultivates the thought that all things are not the self (Atman), [3] and if you cultivate the thought that all things are impure, [4] and if you cultivate the thought that all things are troublesome, [5] and if you cultivate the thought of renouncing all things, [6] and if you cultivate thoughts that depart from all earthly desires, [7] and if the thought of cessation is practised, then prosperity is expected of the practitioners during that time, and there will be no decline.”
Buddha (Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 1, At Vulture's Peak: 10)
