般若波羅蜜多心經幽贊 1.90

1.90

Next is cultivating the four summary statements of the Dharma (dharmoddāna), taught in order to purify sentient beings: First, contemplating that all conditioned phenomena are impermanent, because they have arising and cessation. Second, contemplating that all impermanent things are suffering, because they possess oppression. Third, contemplating that the nature and characteristics of nirvāṇa are tranquil, because they are free from the bonds of suffering. Fourth, contemplating that all phenomena are entirely devoid of self, because they lack an overlord.
