tsan-king. Keep watch over your hearts.--Mahaparinibbana-sutta. Let no evil desire whatever arise within you.--Cullavagga. So soon as there springs up within him an angry, malicious thought, some sinful, wrong disposition, ... he puts it away, removes it, destroys it, he makes it not to be.--Sabbasava-sutta.
