“I will teach you the principle to develop and the principle not to develop. … Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak. And what is the principle not to develop? Killing living creatures … wrong view. This is called the principle not to develop.
“Bhāvetabbañca vo, bhikkhave, dhammaṁ desessāmi na bhāvetabbañca. Taṁ suṇātha …pe… katamo ca, bhikkhave, na bhāvetabbo dhammo? Pāṇātipāto …pe… micchādiṭṭhi— ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, na bhāvetabbo dhammo.
