Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN27: Connected Discourses on Defilements

SN27:2 Forms

1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, desire and lust for forms is a corruption of the mind. Desire and lust for sounds … for odours … for tastes … for tactile objects … for mental phenomena is a corruption of the mind. When a bhikkhu has abandoned the mental corruption in these six cases, his mind inclines to renunciation. A mind fortified by renunciation becomes wieldy in regard to those things that are to be realized by direct knowledge."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Yo, bhikkhave, rūpesu chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yo saddesu … yo gandhesu … yo rasesu … yo phoṭṭhabbesu … yo dhammesu chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti. Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū"ti.


Dutiyaṁ.
