Kaṇhamaggasutta
The Dark Path
“Kaṇhamaggañca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi sukkamaggañca.
“I will teach you the dark path and the bright path. …
Taṁ suṇātha …pe…
katamo ca, bhikkhave, kaṇho maggo?
And what is the dark path?
Pāṇātipāto …pe…
Killing living creatures …
micchādiṭṭhi—
wrong view.
ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, kaṇho maggo.
This is called the dark path.
Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sukko maggo?
And what is the bright path?
Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī …pe…
Not killing living creatures …
sammādiṭṭhi—
right view.
ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sukko maggo”ti.
This is called the bright path.”
