[245] When this was said, a certain bhikkhu addressed the Blessed One thus: "Venerable sir, proclaiming what doctrine does the Blessed One not stand disputing with anyone in the world with its devas, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans? And how, venerable sir, is it that perceptions (saññā) no longer lie latent in that brahmin who dwells detached from sensual pleasures, without perplexity, with remorse cut off, rid of craving (taṇhā) for this or that state of existence?"
"Bhikkhu, as to the source from which reckonings born of proliferating perception (papañcasaññāsaṅkhā) beset a person: if therein there is nothing to be delighted in, nothing to be welcomed, nothing to be held to, this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies (anusaya) to lust; this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to aversion (paṭigha); this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to views; this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to doubt; this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to conceit; this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to lust for existence; this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to ignorance; this itself is the end of the taking up of cudgels and the taking up of weapons, of quarrels, contentions, disputes, recriminations of 'you! you!', malicious speech, and false speech. Here these evil, unwholesome states cease without remainder."
This is what the Blessed One said. Having said this, the Sublime One rose from his seat and entered the dwelling.
