1. Corruptions

Consciousness

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, desire and greed for eye consciousness,
ear consciousness,
nose consciousness,
tongue consciousness,
body consciousness,
or mind consciousness is a corruption of the mind.
When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation.
A mind imbued with renunciation is declared to be capable of directly knowing anything that can be realized.”
