"Practicing for its fading away and cessation"

At Savatthi, "Bhikkhus, form is suffering, both of the past and the future, not to speak of the present. Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is indifferent towards form of the past; he does not seek delight in form of the future; and he is practicing for revulsion towards form of the present, for its fading away and cessation.

"Feeling is suffering, both of the past and the future. . .

"Perception is suffering. . .

"Volitional formations are suffering. . .

"Consciousness is suffering, both of the past and the future, not to speak of the present. Seeing thus, bhikkhus, the instructed noble disciple is indifferent towards consciousness of the past; he does not seek delight in consciousness of the future; and he is practicing for revulsion towards consciousness of the present, for its fading away and cessation."
