Katame cha?  What six?
Kāmavitakkaṁ, byāpādavitakkaṁ, vihiṁsāvitakkaṁ, kāmasaññaṁ, byāpādasaññaṁ, vihiṁsāsaññaṁ—  Sensual, malicious, and cruel thoughts; and sensual, malicious, and cruel perceptions.
ime kho, bhikkhave, cha dhamme appahāya abhabbo paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharituṁ.  Without giving up these six qualities you can’t enter and remain in the first absorption.
