THE SUTRA OF FORTY-TWO SECTIONS SPOKEN BY THE BUDDHA

4. The Buddha said: "There are ten things by which beings do
good and ten by which they do evil. What are they? Three are
performed with the body, four with the mouth, and three with the
mind. The (evils) performed with the body are killing, stealing
and 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."
