3.3.11 What is Perception of Rejection? *

“And what, Ānanda, is the perception of rejection? Here, Ānanda, a Bhikkhu does not endure any thought of sensual pleasure that has arisen; he rejects it, dispels it, abolishes it and causes it to perish. He does not endure any thought of aversion that has arisen; he rejects it, dispels it, abolishes it and causes it to perish. He does not endure any thought of violence that has arisen; he rejects it, dispels it, abolishes it and causes it to perish. He does not endure any evil or unwholesome thoughts that have arisen, he rejects them, dispels them, abolishes them and causes them to perish. This, Ānanda, is the perception of rejection.
