The Buddha teaches a repeated formula on ten things that should be developed for insight into and the complete ending of hate, delusion, anger, and other unwholesome qualities in this grouped discourse.
“Dosassa …pe… mohassa … kodhassa … upanāhassa … makkhassa … paḷāsassa … issāya … macchariyassa … māyāya … sāṭheyyassa … thambhassa … sārambhassa … mānassa … atimānassa … madassa … pamādassa pariññāya …pe… parikkhayāya … pahānāya … khayāya … vayāya … virāgāya … nirodhāya … (…) cāgāya … paṭinissaggāya …pe… ime dasa dhammā bhāvetabbā”ti.
Rāgapeyyālaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
Pañcamo paṇṇāsako samatto.
Dasakanipātapāḷi niṭṭhitā.
