sn.27.2 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Sights

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, desire and greed for sights,
sounds,
smells,
tastes,
touches,
or thoughts is a corruption of the mind.
When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation.
A mind imbued with renunciation is declared to be capable of directly knowing anything that can be realized.”
