“‘Good men, the five desires are conditions that give rise to pleasure and must be quickly eliminated. Even though some people enjoy killing sentient beings, such pleasure should be quickly eliminated. Even though some people enjoy stealing, such pleasure should be quickly eliminated. Even though some people enjoy violating the religious life, such pleasure should be quickly eliminated. Even though some people enjoy making false statements, such pleasure should be quickly eliminated. Even though some people are unrestrained and self-indulgent, such pleasure should be quickly eliminated. Even though some people enjoy practicing the ascetic practices of other religions, such pleasure should be quickly eliminated.
