Itivuttaka 10—13

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: “Monks, one who has not fully known & fully understood aversion… delusion… anger… contempt, whose mind has not been cleansed of passion for it, has not abandoned it, is incapable of putting an end to stress. But one who has fully known & fully understood aversion… delusion… anger… contempt, whose mind has been cleansed of passion for it and has abandoned it, is capable of putting an end to stress.

The aversion with which beings go to a bad destination, upset: from rightly knowing that aversion, those who see clearly let go. Letting go, they never come to this world again.

The delusion with which beings go to a bad destination, confused: from rightly knowing that delusion, those who see clearly let go. Letting go, they never come to this world again.

The anger with which beings go to a bad destination, enraged: from rightly knowing that anger, those who see clearly let go. Letting go, they never come to this world again.

The contempt with which beings go to a bad destination, disdainful: from rightly knowing that contempt, those who see clearly let go. Letting go, they never come to this world again.
