私たちの心は、なぜ汚れてしまうのでしょうか？ なぜ妄想するのでしょうか？ 妄想はどのように起こるのでしょうか？ 妄想と思考、煩悩との関係は？ チャンディマ・ガンゴダウィラ長老（著）日本語版『妄想の対処法：認識プロセスを観察し、妄想ループを絶ち切る（蜜丸経）』の原著改訂版。改訂版では、妄想の仕組み、妄想と煩悩との関係などが、さらに深く掘り下げられ、わかりやすく解説されています。
Papañca is one of the most helpful Theravāda Buddhist teachings used to understand how our thoughts become impure and the most compelling account of this subject is the Madhupiṇḍika Sutta. Since many writers don't utilize papañca when alluding to defilements, many readers discover the setting of mental purification hard to understand. If we seriously want to learn how to keep our mental purification unadulterated from defilements, we should figure out how the mental purification can be tainted through papañca.
