The Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters

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 thought.
"Three evil deeds depending upon the body are: killing, stealing and committing adultery. The four depending upon the mouth are: slandering cursing, lying and flattery. The three depending upon thought are: envy, anger and infatuation. All these things are against the Holy Way and therefore they are evil.
When these evils are not done, there are ten good deeds."
