Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN27: Connected Discourses on Defilements

SN27:7 Volition

1"Bhikkhus, desire and lust for volition regarding forms … sn.iii.234 … for volition regarding 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, rūpasañcetanāya chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yo saddasañcetanāya … yo gandhasañcetanāya … yo rasasañcetanāya … yo phoṭṭhabbasañcetanāya … yo dhammasañcetanāya chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno … pe … abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū"ti.


Sattamaṁ.
