Suttapiṭaka · Dīghanikāya · Sīlakkhandhavagga · Vol. 9 · Section 324

[324] Endowed with this noble aggregate of virtue (sīlakkhandha), endowed with this noble restraint of the sense faculties (indriyasaṃvara), endowed with this noble mindfulness and clear comprehension (sati-sampajañña), and endowed with this noble contentment (santuṭṭhi), he resorts to a secluded lodging: a forest, the root of a tree, a mountain, a glen, a mountain cave, a charnel ground, a forest thicket, the open air, a heap of straw. After the meal, having returned from the almsround, he sits down, folding his legs crosswise, setting his body erect, and establishing mindfulness before him. Having abandoned covetousness—greed (lobha)—he dwells with a mind free from covetousness; he purifies his mind (citta) of covetousness. Having abandoned ill will and hatred (byāpādapadosa), he dwells with a mind free from ill will, compassionate for the welfare of all living beings; he purifies his mind of ill will and hatred. Having abandoned dullness and drowsiness, he dwells free from dullness and drowsiness, percipient of light, mindful and clearly comprehending; he purifies his mind of dullness and drowsiness. Having abandoned restlessness and remorse, he dwells unagitated, with a mind inwardly stilled; he purifies his mind of restlessness and remorse. Having abandoned doubt, he dwells having crossed over doubt, unperplexed about wholesome states; he purifies his mind of doubt.
