Among all notions, the notion of impermanence is the greatest.
Among all motivations, disillusionment with saṃsāra is the greatest.
“Great King, it is good that you are disillusioned with saṃsāra.
It is good that you have become dissatisfied.
When one is attached, that is saṃsāra.
When one is not attached, that is nirvāṇa.”
After the Blessed One had spoken, everyone, King Bimbisāra and the rest, rejoiced and praised what the Blessed One had said.
