“Mendicants, there are these three sources that give rise to deeds.“Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, nidānāni kammānaṁ samudayāya. What three?Katamāni tīṇi? Greed, hate, and delusion are sources that give rise to deeds.Lobho nidānaṁ kammānaṁ samudayāya, doso nidānaṁ kammānaṁ samudayāya, moho nidānaṁ kammānaṁ samudayāya. Any deed that emerges from greed, hate, or delusion—born, sourced, and originated from greed, hate, or delusion—is unskillful, blameworthy, results in suffering, and leads to the creation of more deeds, not their cessation.Yaṁ, bhikkhave, lobhapakataṁ kammaṁ lobhajaṁ lobhanidānaṁ lobhasamudayaṁ, taṁ kammaṁ akusalaṁ taṁ kammaṁ sāvajjaṁ taṁ kammaṁ dukkhavipākaṁ, taṁ kammaṁ kammasamudayāya saṁvattati, na taṁ kammaṁ kammanirodhāya saṁvattati. These are three sources that give rise to deeds.Imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi nidānāni kammānaṁ samudayāya.
