“Sappaccayā, bhikkhave, uppajjanti pāpakā akusalā dhammā, no appaccayā. Tasseva paccayassa pahānā evaṁ te pāpakā akusalā dhammā na hontī”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

“Bad, unskillful qualities, mendicants, arise with a reason, not without a reason. By giving up that reason, those bad, unskillful qualities do not occur.”
