AN3.7: Sāvajjasutta

Sāvajjasutta: Blameworthy - translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi

“Bhikkhus, one who possesses three qualities should be known as a fool. What three? Blameworthy bodily action, blameworthy verbal action, and blameworthy mental action. One who possesses these three qualities should be known as a fool.

“One who possesses three qualities should be known as a wise person. What three? Blameless bodily action, blameless verbal action, and blameless mental action. One who possesses these three qualities should be known as a wise person.

“Therefore … It is in this way that you should train yourselves.”
