An Anthology from Pali Canon

The WINGS to AWAKENING

Pali Buddhist Text

§ 7. The non-doing of any evil,
the performance of what’s skillful,
the cleansing of one’s own mind:
This is the Buddhas’ teaching.
Not disparaging, not injuring,
restraint in line with the Patimokkha,
moderation in food,
dwelling in seclusion,
commitment to the heightened mind:
This is the Buddhas’ teaching.
