“Dveme, bhikkhave, atthavase sampassamānā kiṁpurisā mānusiṁ vācaṁ na bhāsanti. Katame dve? Mā ca musā bhaṇimhā, mā ca paraṁ abhūtena abbhācikkhimhāti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, dve atthavase sampassamānā kiṁpurisā mānusiṁ vācaṁ na bhāsantī”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

“Mystery men see two reasons not to use regular speech. What two? Thinking: ‘May we not lie, and may we not misrepresent others with falsehoods.’ Mystery men see these two reasons not to use regular speech.”
