AN 6.103 Anodhi Sutta : Without Exception (2)
"In seeing six rewards, it's enough motivation for a monk to establish the perception of stress/suffering 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 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/suffering with regard to all fabrications without exception."

Notes:

1.This reading — nibbida-sanna — follows the Burmese edition of the canon. The Thai edition has nibbana-sanna, which does not seem appropriate here.
