Principles That Should Be Made Much Of

“Bahulīkātabbañca vo, bhikkhave, dhammaṁ desessāmi na bahulīkātabbañca. Taṁ suṇātha …pe… katamo ca, bhikkhave, na bahulīkātabbo dhammo? Pāṇātipāto …pe… micchādiṭṭhi—ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, na bahulīkātabbo dhammo.

“I will teach you the principle to make much of and the principle not to make much of. … And what is the principle not to make much of? Killing living creatures … wrong view. This is called the principle not to make much of.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, bahulīkātabbo dhammo? Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī …pe… sammādiṭṭhi—ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, bahulīkātabbo dhammo”ti.

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

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
