feeling there are, for

attainments, and from
the attainment of
cessation.

The Shorter Discourse on the Simile of the Hartwood -
Cūḷasāropama
Sutta
Using
the simile
of a great
tree possessed of
heartwood, sapwood,
inner bark and outer
bark, twigs and
leaves, the Buddha
points out how the holy
life is not for gain,
honor and renown,
nor simply for the
attainment of virtue,
nor the attainment of
collectedness, nor for
knowledge and vision. It
is for the unshakable
deliverance of the mind. This is
the goal of this holy
life, its heartwood, and
its end.

The Kosambians -
Kosambiya Sutta
When the bhikkhus at Kosambī are engaged in a dispute, the Buddha teaches
them six qualities that create love and unity. Of the last and “highest” quality,
right view, he teaches seven more qualities that will, if practiced, lead one to the
complete destruction of suffering. These are also called the seven knowledges
attained by a stream enterer. |

19 Two Kinds of Thought - Dvedhāvitakka
Sutta
The Buddha divides thought into two classes: thoughts of sensual desire, ill will
and cruelty; and thoughts of renunciation, non-ill
will (mettā) and noncruelty
(karuṇā). This discourse states simply that unwholesome thought bring about
unhappiness, and wholesome thoughts bring about happiness. Unwholesome
thoughts can be replaced by wholesome thoughts (and, even better, a quiet,
collected mind). Knowing this, we can bring about happiness and freedom
from pain.
