[401] Dwelling at Sāvatthī… There the Blessed One… "Bhikkhus, it is by way of elements (dhātu) alone that beings come together and unite: those of wrong view come together and unite with those of wrong view; those of wrong intention …; those of wrong speech …; those of wrong action …; those of wrong livelihood …; those of wrong effort …; those of wrong mindfulness …; those of wrong concentration (samādhi) come together and unite with those of wrong concentration; those of wrong knowledge (ñāṇa) come together and unite with those of wrong knowledge; those of wrong liberation come together and unite with those of wrong liberation."
