from: 19. The Noble Path

Principles That Should Be Developed

“I will teach you the principle to develop and the principle not to develop. … Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak. And what is the principle not to develop? Killing living creatures … wrong view. This is called the principle not to develop.

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