sn.25.7 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Intention

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, intention regarding sights is impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
Intention regarding sounds,
intention regarding smells,
intention regarding tastes,
intention regarding touches,
and intentions regarding thoughts are impermanent, decaying, and perishing.
Someone who has faith and confidence in these principles is called a follower by faith. …”
