9.p111

“There are another five things, which are five spheres of escape: [1] A monk doesn’t enjoy, isn’t moved by, and doesn’t stay near desires. He’s only mindful of escaping them, enjoys seclusion, and befriends those who aren’t indolent. His mind is flexible, leaving and parting with desire and what causes the desires that produce the web of contaminants. He also ends, abandons, and ceases them to attain liberation. This is the escape from desire. [2] The escape from anger, [3] escape from jealousy, [4] escape from form, and [5] escape from personality view are likewise.
