The Second Discourse on Purity
122.
"There are, monks, these three purities.
What three?
Bodily purity, verbal purity, mental purity.
And what, monks, is bodily purity?
Here, monks, a monk abstains from killing living beings, abstains from taking what is not given, abstains from not practising the holy life.
This is called, monks, bodily purity.
"And what, monks, is verbal purity? Here, monks, a monk abstains from lying, abstains from divisive speech, abstains from harsh speech, abstains from idle chatter. This is called, monks, verbal purity.
"And what, monks, is mental purity? Here, monks, a monk, when there is sensual desire internally - understands 'there is sensual desire internally in me'; or when there is no sensual desire internally - understands 'there is no sensual desire internally in me'; and he understands how the arising of unarisen sensual desire occurs; and he understands how the abandoning of arisen sensual desire occurs; and he understands how the non-arising in the future of abandoned sensual desire occurs; when there is anger internally - understands 'there is anger internally in me'; or when there is no anger internally - understands 'there is no anger internally in me'; and he understands how the arising of unarisen anger occurs; and he understands how the abandoning of arisen anger occurs; and he understands how the non-arising in the future of abandoned anger occurs; when there is sloth and torpor internally - understands 'there is sloth and torpor internally in me'; or when there is no sloth and torpor internally - understands 'there is no sloth and torpor internally in me'; and he understands how the arising of unarisen sloth and torpor occurs; and he understands how the abandoning of arisen sloth and torpor occurs; and he understands how the non-arising in the future of abandoned sloth and torpor occurs; when there is restlessness and remorse internally - understands 'there is restlessness and remorse internally in me'; or when there is no restlessness and remorse internally - understands 'there is no restlessness and remorse internally in me'; and he understands how the arising of unarisen restlessness and remorse occurs; and he understands how the abandoning of arisen restlessness and remorse occurs; and he understands how the non-arising in the future of abandoned restlessness and remorse occurs; when there is sceptical doubt internally - understands 'there is sceptical doubt internally in me'; or when there is no sceptical doubt internally - understands 'there is no sceptical doubt internally in me'; and he understands how the arising of unarisen sceptical doubt occurs; and he understands how the abandoning of arisen sceptical doubt occurs; and he understands how the non-arising in the future of abandoned sceptical doubt occurs. This is called, monks, mental purity. These, monks, are the three purities.
Pure, accomplished in purity, they call him one who has washed away evil." The ninth.
