“Mā, bhikkhave, pāpake akusale vitakke vitakkeyyātha, seyyathidaṃ— kāmavitakkaṃ, ­byāpā­da­vitak­kaṃ, vihiṃ­sā­vitak­kaṃ. Taṃ kissa hetu? Nete, bhikkhave, vitakkā atthasaṃhitā nādib­rahma­cari­yakā na nibbidāya na virāgāya na nirodhāya na upasamāya na abhiññāya na sambodhāya na nibbānāya saṃvattanti.

Vitakkentā ca kho tumhe, bhikkhave, ‘idaṃ dukkhan’ti vitakkeyyātha, ‘ayaṃ dukkhasamudayo’ti vitakkeyyātha, ‘ayaṃ dukkhanirodho’ti vitakkeyyātha, ‘ayaṃ duk­kha­nirodha­gāminī paṭipadā’ti vitakkeyyātha. Taṃ kissa hetu? Ete, bhikkhave, vitakkā atthasaṃhitā ete ādib­rahma­cari­yakā ete nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattanti.

Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṃ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo … pe … ‘ayaṃ duk­kha­nirodha­gāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.

Sattamaṃ.
