Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN27: Connected Discourses on Defilements

SN27:8 Craving

1"Bhikkhus, desire and lust for craving for forms … for craving for 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, rūpataṇhāya chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yo saddataṇhāya … yo gandhataṇhāya … yo rasataṇhāya … yo phoṭṭhabbataṇhāya … yo dhammataṇhāya chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno … pe … abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū"ti.


Aṭṭhamaṁ.
