PāliPali

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Mendicants, there are these kinds of good conduct. What three? Good conduct by way of body, speech, and mind. These are the three kinds of good conduct.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, sucaritāni. Katamāni tīṇi? Kāyasucaritaṁ, vacīsucaritaṁ, manosucaritaṁ— imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi sucaritānī”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Having given up bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind, and whatever else is corrupt;

“Kāyaduccaritaṁ hitvā, vacīduccaritāni ca; Manoduccaritaṁ hitvā, yañcaññaṁ dosasaṁhitaṁ.

not having done bad deeds, and having done many good, when their body breaks up, that wise person is reborn in heaven.”

Akatvākusalaṁ kammaṁ, katvāna kusalaṁ bahuṁ; Kāyassa bhedā sappañño, saggaṁ so upapajjatī”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Chaṭṭhaṁ.
