"Monks, just as a pot turned upside down disgorges water & doesnât swallow it back in; in the same way, a monk developing & cultivating the noble eightfold path disgorges evil, unskillful qualities & doesnât swallow them back in. "And how is it that a monk developing & cultivating the noble eightfold path disgorges evil, unskillful qualities & doesnât swallow them back in? There is the case where a monk develops right view dependent on seclusion, dependent on dispassion, dependent on cessation, resulting in letting go. He develops right resolve⦠right speech⦠right action⦠right livelihood⦠right effort⦠right mindfulness⦠He develops right concentration dependent on seclusion, dependent on dispassion, dependent on cessation, resulting in letting go. "This is how a monk developing & cultivating the noble eightfold path disgorges evil, unskillful qualities & doesnât swallow them back in." See also: SN 45:27 - --> - - - -
