The Discourse on the Corrupted
111.
To the householder Anāthapiṇḍika seated to one side, the Blessed One said this:
"Householder, when the mind is corrupted, bodily action is also corrupted, verbal action is also corrupted, mental action is also corrupted.
For one whose bodily activity is corrupted, whose verbal activity is corrupted, whose mental activity is corrupted, there is no good death, no good passing away.
Just as, householder, in a pinnacle building with a poor roof, the peak is also corrupted, the rafters are also corrupted, the wall is also corrupted;
so too, householder, when the mind is corrupted, bodily action is also corrupted, verbal action is also corrupted, mental action is also corrupted.
For one whose bodily activity is corrupted, whose verbal activity is corrupted, whose mental activity is corrupted, there is no good death, no good passing away.
"Householder, when the mind is uncorrupted, bodily action is also uncorrupted, verbal action is also uncorrupted, mental action is also uncorrupted. For one whose bodily activity is uncorrupted, whose verbal activity is uncorrupted, whose mental activity is uncorrupted, there is a good death, a good passing away. Just as, householder, in a pinnacle building with a good roof, the peak is also uncorrupted, the rafters are also uncorrupted, the wall is also uncorrupted; so too, householder, when the mind is uncorrupted, bodily action is also uncorrupted, verbal action is also uncorrupted, mental action is also uncorrupted. For one whose bodily activity is uncorrupted, etc. whose mental activity is uncorrupted, there is a good death, a good passing away." The eighth.
