2.429

"Contemplating impermanence without reviling the root of goodness; contemplating the suffering of the world without abhorring birth-and-death; contemplating non-self yet instructing others without wearying; contemplating cessation without entering eternal cessation." This is the second section, the contemplation of the four non-permanences. To shatter the inversion of permanence, they contemplate impermanence; through great compassion, they do not revile the joy of goodness. To shatter [the inversion of pleasure], they contemplate suffering; through great compassion, they do not abhor birth-and-death. To shatter the inversion of self, they contemplate non-self; through great compassion, they constantly instruct others. To shatter clamour and agitation, they contemplate cessation; through great compassion, they do not enter eternal cessation. Furthermore, contemplating impermanence, they do not abide in birth-and-death; not reviling the root of goodness, they do not abide in nirvāṇa. The remaining inversions are likewise.
