Bad Conduct Duccaritasutta

“Mendicants, there are these three things. “Tayome, bhikkhave, dhammā. What three? Katame tayo? Bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind. Kāyaduccaritaṁ, vacīduccaritaṁ, manoduccaritaṁ. These are the three things. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā. To give up these three things you should develop three things. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya tayo dhammā bhāvetabbā. What three? Katame tayo? You should develop good bodily conduct to give up bad bodily conduct, good verbal conduct to give up bad verbal conduct, and good mental conduct to give up bad mental conduct. Kāyaduccaritassa pahānāya kāyasucaritaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ, vacīduccaritassa pahānāya vacīsucaritaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ, manoduccaritassa pahānāya manosucaritaṁ bhāvetabbaṁ. These are the three things you should develop to give up those three things.” Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tiṇṇaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya ime tayo dhammā bhāvetabbā”ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
