A classic says: 'Restrain the seven emotions and attend to the nine thoughts; when thought is without depravity, action is surely correct.' The seven emotions are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, and desire. The nine thoughts are: in seeing, thinking of clarity; in hearing, thinking of acuity; in countenance, thinking of warmth; in appearance, thinking of respect; in speech, thinking of loyalty; in affairs, thinking of reverence; in doubt, thinking of inquiry; in wrath, thinking of difficulties; in seeing gain, thinking of righteousness. All these serve to cleanse the breast, banish depravity, and pursue correctness. A sūtra says: 'One must not harbor greed and desire, anger and malice, delusion, or wrong views.' Thus we know that the ten thousand evils flow like rivers, with their matters created by the mind. How do we know it is so? If a fleeting condition arises in the mind, the mouth then utters evil words; words being manifested from the mind, one then commits grave sins. Now, if one wishes to seal one's speech and make one's body upright, it is not as good as first curbing one's mind and next subduing one's thoughts. Therefore a sūtra says: 'Control it in one place, and there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.' Once the mind accords with the Path, bodily faults cease without being forcibly checked; when the mind conforms to principle, slips of the tongue vanish without being guarded against. However, the karma of body and speech is coarse and easily suppressed and cut off, whereas the creations of the mind are subtle and difficult to clear away completely. This is broadly explained as in the various sūtras concerning their characteristics. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 27.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.27.45) - [Next: 27.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.27.47) - [Up: 27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.27) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.27.46) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [諸經要集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.9.54) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.27.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.27.46) · Pramāṇa
