Abstract :
Canker (Æsava) appears in many phases. Since the æsavas are described as illness (rogæ) and unwholesome (akusala), they are factors that should be abandoned. Cankers (Æsavas) are abandoned through the Noble Path. In the Sabbæsavasutta æsava is defined not only in a narrow sense of individual I-ness but also in a broad sense of all the troubles of individual.
