Skillful Quality

Kusaladhammasutta

from: Chapter Four

Skillful Quality

At Sāvatthī.

“Possessions, honor, and popularity are grim …

Devadatta cut off his skillful quality because his mind was overcome and overwhelmed by possessions, honor, and popularity.

So grim are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”
