The Discourse on Being Difficult to Admonish
115.
"Monks, there are these three mental states.
Which three?
Being difficult to admonish, evil friendship, distraction of the mind.
These, monks, are the three mental states.
For the abandoning of these three mental states, monks, three mental states are to be developed.
Which three?
For the abandoning of being difficult to admonish, being easy to admonish is to be developed; for the abandoning of evil friendship, good friendship is to be developed; for the abandoning of distraction of the mind, mindfulness of breathing is to be developed.
For the abandoning of these three mental states, monks, these three mental states are to be developed."
