“Mendicants, without directly knowing and completely understanding disdain, without dispassion for it and giving it up, you can’t end suffering. By directly knowing and completely understanding disdain, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
