Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

1: The Book of the Ones

1. Obsession of the Mind - 64

1"Bhikkhus, I do not see even a single thing that so causes unarisen unwholesome qualities to arise and arisen wholesome qualities to decline as non-contentment. [n.54] Asantuṭṭhitā. Mp: "This is the greed that arises from associating with, resorting to, and attending on discontented persons." For one who is not content, unarisen unwholesome qualities arise and arisen wholesome qualities decline."

1"Nāhaṁ, bhikkhave, aññaṁ ekadhammampi samanupassāmi yena anuppannā vā akusalā dhammā uppajjanti uppannā vā kusalā dhammā parihāyanti yathayidaṁ, bhikkhave, asantuṭṭhitā. Asantuṭṭhassa, bhikkhave, anuppannā ceva akusalā dhammā uppajjanti uppannā ca kusalā dhammā parihāyantī"ti.


Catutthaṁ.
