 “And what, Ānanda, is perception of impermanence?
Idhānanda, bhikkhu araññagato vā rukkhamūlagato vā suññāgāragato vā iti paṭisañcikkhati –

 Here, Ānanda, a bhikkhu, having gone into the forest, or to the foot of a tree, or to an empty space, considers thus:
‘rūpaṃ aniccaṃ, vedanā aniccā, saññā aniccā, saṅkhārā aniccā, viññāṇaṃ aniccan’ti. ‘This body is impermanent, sensations are impermanent, perception is impermanent, mental conditioned reactions are impermanent, consciousness is impermanent.’
Iti imesu pañcasu upādānakkhandhesu aniccānupassī viharati. Thus he dwells observing the impermanence within these five aggregates of clinging.
Ayaṃ vuccatānanda, aniccasaññā. This, Ānanda, is perception of impermanence.

Ayaṃ vuccatānanda, anattasaññā This, Ānanda, is perception of non-self, non-I.
… …
Katamā cānanda, sabbasaṅkhāresu anicchāsaññā? “And what, Ānanda, is perception of dislike towards all mentally conditioned reactions?
Idhānanda, bhikkhu sabbasaṅkhāresu aṭṭīyati harāyati jigucchati. Here, Ānanda, a bhikkhu gets worried, ashamed and disgusted on account of all the mentally conditioned reactions.
Ayaṃ vuccatānanda, sabbasaṅkhāresu anicchāsaññā.” That, Ānanda, is perception of dislike towards all mentally conditioned reactions.”
