Intention

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, intention regarding sights is impermanent, decaying, and perishing. Intention regarding sounds, intention regarding smells, intention regarding tastes, intention regarding touches, and intentions regarding ideas are impermanent, decaying, and perishing.

Someone who has faith and confidence in these teachings is called a follower by faith. …”
