“Mendicants, there are these three things. “Tayome, bhikkhave, dhammā. What three? Katame tayo? Being hard to admonish, bad friendship, and a scattered mind. Dovacassatā, pāpamittatā, cetaso vikkhepo. These are the three things. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā. To give up these three things you should develop three things. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya tayo dhammā bhāvetabbā. What three? Katame tayo? You should develop being easy to admonish to give up being hard to admonish, good friendship to give up bad friendship, and mindfulness of breathing to give up a scattered mind. Dovacassatāya pahānāya sovacassatā bhāvetabbā, pāpamittatāya pahānāya kalyāṇamittatā bhāvetabbā, cetaso vikkhepassa pahānāya ānāpānassati bhāvetabbā. These are the three things you should develop to give up those three things.” Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya ime tayo dhammā bhāvetabbā”ti.

Navamaṁ.
