THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO SECTIONS SPOKEN BY THE BUDDHA

THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO SECTIONS SPOKEN BY THE BUDDHA

4. The Buddha said: "There are ten things by which beings dogood and ten by which they do evil. What are they? Three are performed with the body, four with the mouth, and three with themind. The (evils) performed with the body are killing, stealingand unchaste deeds; those with the mouth are duplicity, slandering, lying, and idle talk; those with the mind are covetousness, anger, and foolishness. These ten are not in keeping with the holy Way and are called the ten evil practices.Putting a stop to all of them is called performing the ten virtuous practices."
