The Discourse on a Person
113.
At Sāvatthī.
Then King Pasenadi of Kosala approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he paid respect to the Blessed One and sat down to one side.
Seated to one side, King Pasenadi of Kosala said this to the Blessed One -
"How many mental states, venerable sir, arising internally in a person, arise for his harm, suffering, and uncomfortable abiding?"
"Three mental states, great king, arising internally in a person, arise for his harm, suffering, and uncomfortable abiding. Which three? Greed, great king, is a mental state arising internally in a person that arises for his harm, suffering, and uncomfortable abiding. Hate, great king, is a mental state arising internally in a person that arises for his harm, suffering, and uncomfortable abiding. Delusion, great king, is a mental state arising internally in a person that arises for his harm, suffering, and uncomfortable abiding. These, great king, are the three mental states arising internally in a person that arise for his harm, suffering, and uncomfortable abiding." This he said, etc.
Arisen from oneself, like the fruit destroys the bark-cored tree."
