The Discourse on Causation
34. "There are, monks, these three sources for the arising of actions. What three? Greed is a source for the arising of actions, hate is a source for the arising of actions, delusion is a source for the arising of actions.
"Whatever action, monks, is done through greed, born of greed, having greed as its source, having greed as its origin, wherever his individual existence arises, there that action ripens. Where that action ripens, there he experiences the result of that action, either in this very life, or upon rebirth, or in some other subsequent existence.
"Whatever action, monks, is done through hate, born of hate, having hate as its source, having hate as its origin, wherever his individual existence arises, there that action ripens. Where that action ripens, there he experiences the result of that action, either in this very life, or upon rebirth, or in some other subsequent existence.
"Whatever action, monks, is done through delusion, born of delusion, having delusion as its source, having delusion as its origin, wherever his individual existence arises, there that action ripens. Where that action ripens, there he experiences the result of that action, either in this very life, or upon rebirth, or in some other subsequent existence.
"Just as, monks, seeds that are unbroken, not rotten, not damaged by wind and heat, with substance, well stored, are placed in a good field on well-prepared ground. And the rain god would send down proper showers. Thus those seeds, monks, would attain growth, increase, and expansion. Just so, monks, whatever action is done through greed, born of greed, having greed as its source, having greed as its origin, wherever his individual existence arises, there that action ripens. Where that action ripens, there he experiences the result of that action, either in this very life, or upon rebirth, or in some other subsequent existence.
"Whatever action is done through hate... etc. whatever action is done through delusion, born of delusion, having delusion as its source, having delusion as its origin, wherever his individual existence arises, there that action ripens. Where that action ripens, there he experiences the result of that action, either in this very life, or upon rebirth, or in some other subsequent existence. These, monks, are the three sources for the arising of actions.
"There are, monks, these three sources for the arising of actions. What three? Non-greed is a source for the arising of actions, non-hate is a source for the arising of actions, non-delusion is a source for the arising of actions.
"Whatever action, monks, is done through non-greed, born of non-greed, having non-greed as its source, having non-greed as its origin, when greed has disappeared, thus that action is abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future.
"Whatever action, monks, is done through non-hate, born of non-hate, having non-hate as its source, having non-hate as its origin, when hate has disappeared, thus that action is abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future.
"Whatever action, monks, is done through non-delusion, born of non-delusion, having non-delusion as its source, having non-delusion as its origin, when delusion has disappeared, thus that action is abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future.
"Just as, monks, seeds that are unbroken, not rotten, not damaged by wind and heat, with substance, well stored. A person might burn them with fire. Having burnt them with fire, he might make them into ashes. Having made them into ashes, he might winnow them in a strong wind or let them be carried away by a swift-flowing river. Thus those seeds, monks, would have their roots cut off, made like palm stumps, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future. Just so, monks, whatever action is done through non-greed, born of non-greed, having non-greed as its source, having non-greed as its origin, when greed has disappeared, thus that action is abandoned, its root cut off, made like a palm stump, brought to obliteration, subject to non-arising in the future.
"Whatever action is done through non-hate... etc. whatever action is done through non-delusion, born of non-delusion, having non-delusion as its source, having non-delusion as its origin, when delusion has disappeared, thus that action is abandoned... etc. subject to non-arising in the future. These, monks, are the three sources for the arising of actions."
Whatever action is done by him, whether little or much;
Right here that is to be experienced, no other site is found.
A monk arousing true knowledge, should give up all unfortunate realms." The fourth.
