Itivuttaka: The Group of Ones
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Abandon one quality, monks, and I guarantee you non-return. Which one quality? Abandon contempt as the one quality, and I guarantee you non-return."
The contempt with which beings go to a bad destination, disdainful: from rightly discerning that contempt, those who see clearly let go. Letting go, they never come to this world again.
