2.87

Through such various conditions, know the faults and transgressions of the five desires and do not let the mind draw near to them, as if fleeing from enemies and thieves. Because of remaining distant from them, the mind is free of burning affliction, and thoughts of desire do not arise. This is the essential point in cultivating dhyāna. The characteristics of scolding the five desires are as extensively explained in the Mahāyāna [Treatise].
