“Bad, unskillful qualities, mendicants, arise with a conditioned basis, not without a conditioned basis. “Saṅkhatārammaṇā, bhikkhave, uppajjanti pāpakā akusalā dhammā, no asaṅkhatārammaṇā. By giving up that conditioned basis, those bad, unskillful qualities do not occur.” Tasseva saṅkhatassa pahānā evaṁ te pāpakā akusalā dhammā na hontī”ti.
