Dhammapada · 20.6

Sabbe saṅkhārā dukkhāti, yadā paññāya passati;Atha nibbindati dukkhe, esa maggo visuddhiyā.

Sabbe sankhara dukkhati, yada pannaya passati; Atha nibbindati dukkhe, esa maggo visuddhiya.

'All conditioned things are unsatisfactory' — when one sees this with wisdom, then one turns away from suffering. This is the path to purification.

— Dhammapada 20.6
