Untitled Discourse on Greed
“Rāgassa, bhikkhave, abhiññāya ekādasa dhammā bhāvetabbā.
“For insight into greed, eleven things should be developed.
Katame ekādasa?
What eleven?
Paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ, dutiyaṁ jhānaṁ, tatiyaṁ jhānaṁ, catutthaṁ jhānaṁ, mettācetovimutti, karuṇācetovimutti, muditācetovimutti, upekkhācetovimutti, ākāsānañcāyatanaṁ, viññāṇañcāyatanaṁ, ākiñcaññāyatanaṁ—
The first, second, third, and fourth absorptions; the heart’s releases by love, compassion, rejoicing, and equanimity; the dimensions of infinite space, infinite consciousness, and nothingness.
rāgassa, bhikkhave, abhiññāya ime ekādasa dhammā bhāvetabbā”.
For insight into greed, these eleven things should be developed.”
