1"Bhikkhus, I do not see even a single thing that so causes unarisen wholesome qualities to arise and arisen unwholesome qualities to decline as contentment.[n.55] Santuṭṭhitā. Mp distinguishes three types of contentment: (1) contentment that accords with what one obtains (yathālābhasantosa), being content with any kind of robe (or other requisite) whether of fine or poor quality; (2) contentment that accords with one's ability (yathābalasantosa), being content with what one obtains but selecting for use those things most congenial to one's health; and (3) contentment with what is appropriate (yathāsāruppasantosa), keeping the most basic gains for oneself and giving away the rest. For one who is content, unarisen wholesome qualities arise and arisen unwholesome qualities decline."
