There are four intentions preached by lord budda in angular nikaya section of fours(chathukka nipatha). Those are,
1. Black intentions that gives black results
2. White intentions that gives white results
3. Black and white mixed intentions that gives mixed result of black and white and
4. Intentions that are Neither Black nor white which does not result in either black or white results
Its very important to understand these four since in our day today life we normally have only the first 3 intentions stated above.
That is bad intentions good intentions and mixed intentions. But the fourth type of intentions that are given above can only be preached by a budda.
The black or bad intentions are intentions that are based on loba dosa moha or attachment aversion and foolishness .
And white or good intentions are based on aloba adosa amoha non-attachment non-aversion and non-foolishness.
Black and white mixed intentions are intentions that cause mixed results like having intentions of giving some thing with bad expectations. We see this often in life like giving some thing to a girl who we like. This kind of giving creates mixed results.
My main objective is to discuss the 4th type of intentions which are the intentions that can purify our minds
