The Bhagavān instructed the monks, “You must abandon that and establish this.” “You must stay close to this and away from that.” “You must think this and let that go.” “You must contemplate this and not contemplate that.” > — Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras) > “What must be cultivated and not cultivated? You must cultivate the seven factors of awakening, and the three bonds are to be ceased.” > — Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras) > “What must be contemplated and not contemplated? You must contemplate the three bonds and the virtues of the ascetic, which are the happiness of escape, the happiness of having no hostility, and the happiness of having no anger. What must not be contemplated? That’s the three pains of the ascetic. What are the three? They are contemplation of desires, contemplation of hostility, and the contemplation of anger.” > — Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras) > “What’s to be thought and not thought? You must think about the truth of suffering, think about the truth of formation, think about the truth of cessation, and think about the truth of the path. Don’t think about wrong truths, which are the view of permanence, view of impermanence, view of limits, and view of limitlessness as well as what’s a person, what’s not the soul, what’s not the person, ‘the Tathāgata’s life ends,’ ‘the Tathāgata’s life doesn’t end,’ ‘existence ends,’ ‘existence doesn’t end,’ and ‘neither existence nor inexistence ends.’ Don’t think those things.” > — Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 24.5.145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.24.5.145) - [Next: 24.5.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.24.5.147) - [Up: 24.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.24.5) ## Translations (2) - [The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.24.5.p168) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-mt.24.5.146) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.24.5.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.24.5.146) · Pramāṇa
