The First Discourse on Mental Corruptions
56.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"There are these three mental corruptions, monks. Which three? Mental corruption of sensuality, mental corruption of existence, mental corruption of ignorance - these, monks, are the three mental corruptions." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
"Concentrated, fully aware, mindful, a disciple of the Buddha;
He understands mental corruptions, and the origination of mental corruptions.
"Where these cease, and the path leading to their elimination;
Through the elimination of mental corruptions, a monk is without hunger, attained final Nibbāna."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The seventh.
