The renunciation of past and future good is declared in the noble Akṣayamatisūtra: "Recollection of wholesome minds and mental factors, and having recollected, dedication to awakening—this is skill regarding the past. That bringing to mind which is an orientation toward the comprehension of awakening regarding future roots of wholesome virtue: 'Whatever wholesome arisings of mind will arise in me, those I will dedicate to unexcelled, perfect awakening'—this is skill regarding the future."
