Six kinds of renunciation joy:
The joy that arises when, experiencing the inconstancy of those very forms, their change, fading, and cessation, one sees with right discernment as it actually is that all forms, past or present, are inconstant, stressful, subject to change: That is called renunciation joy.
(Similarly with the other senses)
(from Majjhima Nikaya 137)
