These eighty-four thousand all arise from four illnesses: first, greed; second, hatred; third, delusion; and fourth, an equal combination of the poisons. For each of these four illnesses, twenty-one thousand are apportioned. Through contemplation of impurity, the twenty-one thousand defilements of greedy desire are eliminated. Through contemplation of loving-kindness and compassion, the twenty-one thousand defilements of hatred are eliminated. Through contemplation of causes and conditions, the twenty-one thousand defilements of delusion are eliminated. Applying all of the above medicines together eliminates the twenty-one thousand defilements of the illness of equal combination. Just as a precious jewel can dispel darkness, prajñāpāramitā can likewise dispel the afflictions and diseases of the three poisons." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 19.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.20) - [Next: 19.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.22) - [Up: 19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.19.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [法苑珠林](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.95.27) — 道世, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.19.21) · Pramāṇa
