and he is practising for revulsion towards forms of the present, for its fading away and cessation.

1“Rūpā, bhikkhave, dukkhā atītānāgatā; ko pana vādo paccuppannānaṃ!
Evaṃ passaṃ, bhikkhave, sutavā ariyasāvako atītesu rūpesu anapekkho hoti; anāgate rūpe nābhinandati; paccuppannānaṃ rūpānaṃ nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hotī”ti.
