With Suffering as Outcome

“I will teach you the principle that has suffering as outcome, and that which has happiness as outcome. … And what is the principle whose outcome is suffering? Killing living creatures … wrong view. This is the principle whose outcome is suffering.

And what is the principle whose outcome is happiness? Not killing living creatures … right view. This is the principle whose outcome is happiness.”
