Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN45: Connected Discourses on the Path

SN45:166 Barrenness

1"Bhikkhus, there are these three kinds of barrenness. What three? The barrenness of lust, the barrenness of hatred, the barrenness of delusion. These are the three kinds of barrenness. The Noble Eightfold Path is to be developed for direct knowledge of these three kinds of barrenness, for the full understanding of them, for their utter destruction, for their abandoning."

1"Tayome, bhikkhave, khilā. Katame tayo? Rāgo khilo, doso khilo, moho khilo – ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo khilā. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇannaṁ khilānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya … pe … ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
