“Moreover, monks, the Tathāgata has taught six correct things, which are six internal senses: The eye sense, ear sense, nose sense, tongue sense, body sense, and mind sense.
“There are another six things, which are six external senses: The sense of images, sense of sounds, sense of odors, sense of flavors, sense of touches, and sense of notions.
“There are another six things, which are the six groups of consciousness: The group of visual consciousness … auditory … olfactory … gustatory … somatic … group of mental consciousness.
“There are another six things, which are six groups of contact: The group of visual contact … auditory … olfactory … gustatory … somatic … group of mental contact.
“There are another six things, which are six groups of feeling: The group of visual feeling … auditory … olfactory … gustatory … somatic … group of mental feeling.
“There are another six things, which are six groups of conception: [The group of] image conception … sound conception … odor conception … flavor conception … touch conception, and [group of] idea conception.
“There are another six things, which are six groups of intention: [The group of] image intention … sound intention … odor intention … flavor intention … touch intention, and [group of] idea intention.
“There are another six things, which are six groups of craving: The group of image craving … sound … odor … flavor … touch … group of notion craving.
“There are another six things, which are six sources of conflict: [1] If a monk is extremely angry and doesn’t let it go, he doesn’t respect the Tathāgata, doesn’t respect the Dharma, and doesn’t respect the Saṅgha. His precepts are breached, and he’s defiled and impure. When he creates many conflicts in the Saṅgha, he’s disliked by people, disrupts the pure assembly, and gods and people don’t attain peace.
“Monks, you must look within yourselves. If you find resentments like those that are disruptive, you must gather as a unified assembly and employ broad methods to root out these sources of conflict. Moreover, you must focus your attention and observe yourselves. If the bond of resentment has ceased, you should employ methods to restrain your minds. Don’t let it arise again.
“Monks, [2] wayward dishonesty, [3] stingy jealousy, [4] fraud and falsehoods, [5] not abandoning mistakes because of one’s own views, and [6] being deluded by wrong and extreme views are likewise.
“There are another six things, which are six elements: The earth element, fire element, water element, air element, space element, and consciousness element.
“There are another six things, which are six observations: The eye observing forms, ear observing sounds, nose … odors … tongue … flavors … body … touches … mind observing notions.
