What three? Purity of body, speech, and mind. And what is purity of body? It\u2019s when a mendicant doesn\u2019t kill living creatures, steal, or have sex. This is called \u2018purity of body\u2019. And what is purity of speech? It\u2019s when a mendicant doesn\u2019t use speech that\u2019s false, backbiting, harsh, or nonsensical. This is called \u2018purity of speech\u2019. And what is purity of mind? It\u2019s when a mendicant who has sensual desire in them understands \u2018I have sensual desire in me.\u2019 When they don\u2019t have sensual desire in them, they understand \u2018I don\u2019t have sensual desire in me.\u2019 They understand how sensual desire arises; how, when it\u2019s already arisen, it\u2019s given up; and how, once it\u2019s given up, it doesn\u2019t arise again in the future. When they have ill will in them they understand \u2018I have ill will in me\u2019; and when they don\u2019t have ill will in them they understand \u2018I don\u2019t have ill will in me\u2019. They understand how ill will arises; how, when it\u2019s already arisen, it\u2019s given up; and how, once it\u2019s given up, it doesn\u2019t arise again in the future. When they have dullness and drowsiness in them they understand \u2018I have dullness and drowsiness in me\u2019; and when they don\u2019t have dullness and drowsiness in them they understand \u2018I don\u2019t have dullness and drowsiness in me\u2019. They understand how dullness and drowsiness arise; how, when they\u2019ve already arisen, they\u2019re given up; and how, once they\u2019re given up, they don\u2019t arise again in the future. When they have restlessness and remorse in them they understand \u2018I have restlessness and remorse in me\u2019; and when they don\u2019t have restlessness and remorse in them they understand \u2018I don\u2019t have restlessness and remorse in me\u2019. They understand how restlessness and remorse arise; how, when they\u2019ve already arisen, they\u2019re given up; and how, once they\u2019re given up, they don\u2019t arise again in the future. When they have doubt in them they understand \u2018I have doubt in me\u2019; and when they don\u2019t have doubt in them they understand \u2018I don\u2019t have doubt in me\u2019. They understand how doubt arises; how, when it\u2019s already arisen, it\u2019s given up; and how, once it\u2019s given up, it doesn\u2019t arise again in the future. This is called \u2018purity of mind\u2019. These are the three kinds of purity. Purity of body, purity of speech, and undefiled purity of heart. A pure one, blessed with purity, has washed off all bad things, they say.\u201d","title":"Purity (2nd)","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":415}
