Mortifying

Tapanīyasutta

from: 18. Good

Mortifying

“I will teach you the mortifying principle and the unmortifying. … And what is the mortifying principle? Killing living creatures … wrong view. This is called the mortifying principle.

And what is the unmortifying principle? Not killing living creatures … right view. This is called the unmortifying principle.”
