The brahman householders of Sṅla heard it said: "Gotama the contemplative—the son of the Sakyans, having gone forth from the Sakyan clan—on a wandering tour among the Kosalans with a large Saṃgha of monks—has arrived at Sṅla. And of that Master Gotama this fine reputation has spread: ), # Right single quote ('â', He is indeed a Blessed One, worthy & rightly self-awakened, consummate in clear-knowing & conduct, well-gone, an expert with regard to the cosmos, unexcelled trainer of people fit to be tamed, teacher of devas & human beings, awakened, blessed. He makes known—having realized it through direct knowledge—this world with its devas, Mṅras, & Brahmṅs, this generation with its contemplatives & brahmans, its royalty & commonfolk; he explains the Dhamma admirable in the beginning, admirable in the middle, admirable in the end; he expounds the holy life both in its particulars & in its essence, entirely perfect & pure. It is good to see such a worthy one.â" So the brahman householders of Sṅla went to the Blessed One. On arrival, some of them, bowing down to him, sat to one side. Some of them exchanged courteous greetings with him and, after an exchange of friendly greetings & courtesies, sat to one side. Some of them, placing their hands palm-to-palm over the heart in his direction, sat to one side. Some of them, announcing their name and clan in his presence, sat to one side. Some of them, remaining silent, sat to one side. As they were sitting there, the brahman householders of Sṅla said to the Blessed One, "What is the reason, Master Gotama, what is the condition, whereby some beings here, with the break-up of the body, after death, reappear in a plane of deprivation, a bad destination, a lower realm, hell? And what is the reason, what is the condition, whereby some beings here, with the break-up of the body, after death, reappear in a good destination, a heavenly world?" "Householders, itâs by reason of un-Dhamma conduct, dissonant1 conduct that some beings here, with the break-up of the body, after death, reappear in a plane of deprivation, a bad destination, a lower realm, hell. Itâs by reason of Dhamma conduct, harmonious1 conduct that some beings here, with the break-up of the body, after death, reappear in a good destination, a heavenly world." "We donât understand the detailed meaning of Master Gotamaâs brief statement, the detailed meaning of what he hasnât analyzed. It would be good if Master Gotama would teach the Dhamma so that we would understand the detailed meaning of Master Gotamaâs brief statement, the detailed meaning of what he hasnât analyzed." "Very well, in that case, householders, listen & pay careful attention. I will speak." "As you say, master," the brahman householders of Sṅla responded to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said: "Householders, there are three sorts of un-Dhamma conduct, dissonant conduct with the body; four sorts of un-Dhamma conduct, dissonant conduct with speech; and three sorts of un-Dhamma conduct, dissonant conduct with the mind. ## Unskillful Bodily Action "And how are there three sorts of un-Dhamma conduct, dissonant conduct with the body? "There is the case where a certain person takes life, is brutal, bloody-handed, devoted to killing & slaying, showing no mercy to living beings. "He takes what is not given. He takes, in the manner of a thief, things in a village or a wilderness that belong to others and have not been given by them. "He engages in sensual misconduct. He gets sexually involved with those who are protected by their mothers, their fathers, their brothers, their sisters, their relatives, or their Dhamma; those with husbands, those who entail pu
