174. Causes of Kamma
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, the destruction of life, I say, is threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
2Taking what is not given, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
3Sexual misconduct, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
4False speech, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
5Divisive speech, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
6Harsh speech, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
7Idle chatter, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
8Longing, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
9Ill will, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
10Wrong view, I say, is also threefold: caused by greed, caused by hatred, and caused by delusion.
"Thus, bhikkhus, greed is a source and origin of kamma; hatred is a source and origin of kamma; delusion is a source and origin of kamma. With the destruction of greed, a source of kamma is extinguished. With the destruction of hatred, a source of kamma is extinguished. With the destruction of delusion, a source of kamma is extinguished."
