- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1“Mendicants, there are these three kinds of barrenness. What three? Greed, hate, and delusion. These are the three kinds of barrenness.
The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these three kinds of barrenness.”
1"Tayome, bhikkhave, khilā. Katame tayo? Rāgo khilo, doso khilo, moho khilo – ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo khilā. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇannaṁ khilānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya … pe … ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhangiko maggo bhāvetabbo"ti.
Chaṭṭhaṁ.
