"In seeing six rewards, it's enough motivation for a monk to establish the perception of stress with regard to all fabrications without exception. Which six? 'The perception of disenchantment[1] will be established within me with regard to all fabrications, like a murderer with a drawn sword. My mind will rise above every world. I'll become one who sees peace in Unbinding. My obsessions[2] will go to their destruction. I'll be one who has completed his task. The Teacher will have been served with good will.'
"In seeing these six rewards, it's enough motivation for a monk to establish the perception of stress with regard to all fabrications without exception."

"In seeing six rewards, it's enough motivation for a monk to establish the perception of not-self with regard to all phenomena without exception. Which six? 'I won't be fashioned in connection with any world. My I-making will be stopped. My my-making will be stopped. I'll be endowed with uncommon knowledge.[1] I'll become one who rightly sees cause, along with causally-originated phenomena.'
"In seeing these six rewards, it's enough motivation for a monk to establish the perception of not-self with regard to all phenomena without exception."
