AN II Suttas 77-86 Sanimitta Vagga “Established Upon a Sign” 77. “Bhikkhus, evil and damaging qualities arise in the first place, because they themselves are established upon a sign and are not without one, for they are anchored upon something which they use as their bedrock. “Therefore, when that object is destroyed and removed, those evil and damaging qualities will naturally fade away and occur no more.”
