Akusaladhammasutta

from: 3. The Wrong Way

Unskillful Qualities

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you skillful and unskillful qualities. Listen …

And what are unskillful qualities? They are wrong view, wrong purpose, wrong speech, wrong action, wrong livelihood, wrong effort, wrong mindfulness, and wrong immersion. These are called unskillful qualities.

And what are skillful qualities? They are right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. These are called skillful qualities.”
