SN.27.2. Rūpasutta ("Sights")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, desire and greed for sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, or thoughts is a corruption of the mind. When a mendicant has given up mental corruption in these six cases, their mind inclines to renunciation. A mind imbued with renunciation is declared to be capable of directly knowing anything that can be realized.”
