80. “Bhikkhus, evil and damaging qualities arise in the first place, because they themselves have a series of generative causes that impel and bring them about, without which they cannot be or even arise.

“Therefore, when those generative causes are destroyed and removed, those evil and damaging qualities will naturally fade away and occur no more.”
