Consciousness Viññāṇasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, desire and greed for eye consciousness, “Yo, bhikkhave, cakkhuviññāṇasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. ear consciousness, Yo sotaviññāṇasmiṁ … nose consciousness, yo ghānaviññāṇasmiṁ … tongue consciousness, yo jivhāviññāṇasmiṁ … body consciousness, yo kāyaviññāṇasmiṁ … or mind consciousness is a corruption of the mind. yo manoviññāṇasmiṁ chandarāgo, cittasseso upakkileso. When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation. Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno imesu chasu ṭhānesu cetaso upakkileso pahīno hoti, nekkhammaninnañcassa cittaṁ hoti. A mind imbued with renunciation is said to be fit for work regarding anything that can be realized by insight.” Nekkhammaparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ kammaniyaṁ khāyati, abhiññā sacchikaraṇīyesu dhammesū”ti.
