“Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge of lust, eleven things are to be developed. What eleven? The first jhāna, the second jhāna, the third jhāna, the fourth jhāna, the liberation of the mind by loving-kindness, the liberation of the mind by compassion, the liberation of the mind by altruistic joy, the liberation of the mind by equanimity, the base of the infinity of space, the base of the infinity of consciousness, and the base of nothingness. For direct knowledge of lust, these eleven things are to be developed.”
“Bhikkhus, for full understanding of lust . .. for the utter destruction ... for the abandoning ... for the destruction ... for the vanishing ... for the fading away ... for the cessation ... for the giving up ... for the relinquishment of lust ... these eleven things are to be developed.”
“Bhikkhus, for direct knowledge ... for full understanding ...for the utter destruction ... for the abandoning ... for the destruction ... for the vanishing ... for the fading away ... for the cessation ... for the giving up ... for the relinquishment of hatred ... of delusion ... of anger ... of hostility ... of denigration ... of insolence ... of envy ... of miserliness ... of deceitfulness ... of craftiness ... of obstinacy ... of vehemence ... of conceit ... of arrogance ... of intoxication ... of heedlessness ... these eleven things are to be developed.”
This is what the Blessed One said. Elated, those bhikkhus delighted in the Blessed One’s statement.
