Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN27: Connected Discourses on Defilements

SN27:6 Perception

1"Bhikkhus, desire and lust for perception of forms … for perception of mental phenomena is a corruption of the mind. When a bhikkhu has abandoned the mental corruption in these six cases … his mind becomes wieldy in regard to those things that are to be realized by direct knowledge."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Yo, bhikkhave, rūpasaññāya chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yo saddasaññāya … yo gandhasaññāya … yo rasasaññāya … yo phoṭṭhabbasaññāya … yo dhammasaññāya chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno … pe … abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū"ti.


Chaṭṭhaṁ.
