Friends, four actions cast beings down to great suffering. What four? Killing sentient beings; encouraging others to kill; approving killing; and praising killing. These four actions cast beings down to great suffering.

Four qualities raise beings up to great happiness. What four? Not killing sentient beings; encouraging others to not kill; approving not killing; and praising not killing. These four actions raise beings up to great happiness.
