The Buddha teaches on blameworthy, presenting a threefold teaching for disciples on the path.
“Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi tīhi? Sāvajjena kāyakammena, sāvajjena vacīkammena, sāvajjena manokammena—
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi tīhi? Anavajjena kāyakammena, anavajjena vacīkammena, anavajjena manokammena— imehi kho …pe… evaṁ sagge”ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
