Cetokhila sutta: Hard-heartedness

Cetokhilasutta

Satipaṭṭhānavagga

Vertalingen

“Mendicants, there are five kinds of hard-heartedness. What five? Firstly, a mendicant has doubts about the Teacher. They’re uncertain, undecided, and lacking confidence. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the first kind of hard-heartedness.

Furthermore, a mendicant has doubts about the teaching … the Saṅgha … the training … A mendicant is angry and upset with their spiritual companions, resentful and closed off. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the fifth kind of hard-heartedness.

To give up these five kinds of hard-heartedness you should develop the four kinds of mindfulness meditation. …”
