The Sayings of the Buddha in Forty-Two Sections, no 4

4. The Buddha said, "There are ten things considered good by all beings, and ten things evil. What are they? Three of them depend upon the body, four upon the mouth, and three upon the mind.

The three evil deeds depending upon the body are: killing, stealing and unchaste deeds. The four depending upon the mouth are: slandering, cursing, lying and flattery. The three depending upon the mind are: jealousy, hatred and ignorance. All these things are not in keeping with the Holy Way, and are therefore evil. When these evils are not done, they are ten good deeds."
