Monks, the perversion of perception, perversion of mind, perversion of view that non-self is self. Monks, the perversion of perception, perversion of mind, perversion of view that the impure is pure.

Having heard them, the wise, regained their own minds; They saw the impermanent as impermanent, they saw suffering as suffering. In the non-self, as non-self, in the impure, they saw impurity; Having embraced right view, they transcended all suffering.
