2.68

The thirty-ninth: "What is the rākṣasa mind? It is generating unwholesomeness amidst the wholesome." Just as when someone sees a good deed being done, they interpret it entirely with an unwholesome mindset: the Buddha taught that building stūpas and temples yields immeasurable merit, yet that person conversely says, "Because of this, countless tiny insects are needlessly harmed and donors are troubled; what benefit is there in this? One will suffer painful retribution!" "Generating" means that such unwholesome thoughts arise. In this regard, merely contemplating the merits and benefits without dwelling on shortcomings serves as its antidote.
