## Resource

The Discourse on Teaching This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I heard: ‘‘Bhikkhus, there are two discourses on Dhamma given by the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Self-Enlightened One, in due course. Which two? ‘See evil as evil’—this is the first discourse on Dhamma; ‘Having seen evil as evil, become disgusted with it, dispassionate towards it, and liberated from it’—this is the second discourse on Dhamma. Bhikkhus, these two discourses on Dhamma are given by the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the Perfectly Self-Enlightened One, in due course.’’ The Blessed One spoke this meaning. Therein it is said: ‘‘Behold the sequential teaching of the Buddha, the Tathāgata, who has compassion for all beings; And the two Dhammas declared by him. And see this evil as evil, and become dispassionate towards it; Then, with minds dispassionate, you will make an end of suffering.’’ This meaning was also spoken by the Blessed One, so I heard. The Buddha's words/desanāsutta
