Malasutta

“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, malāni. Katamāni tīṇi? Rāgo malaṁ, doso malaṁ, moho malaṁ— imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi malāni. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇannaṁ malānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya …pe… ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo”ti. Sattamaṁ.

“Mendicants, there are these three stains. What three? Greed, hate, and delusion. These are the three stains. The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these three stains.”
