And what are the things that should be given up by the body, not by speech? It\u2019s when a mendicant has committed a certain unskillful offense by way of body. After examination, sensible spiritual companions say this to them: \u2018Venerable, you\u2019ve committed a certain unskillful offense by way of body. Please give up that bad bodily conduct and develop good bodily conduct.\u2019 When spoken to by their sensible spiritual companions they give up that bad bodily conduct and develop good bodily conduct.

Greed \u2026 hate \u2026 delusion \u2026 anger \u2026 acrimony \u2026 disdain \u2026 contempt \u2026 and stinginess are things that should be given up neither by the body, nor by speech, but by seeing again and again with wisdom. Nasty jealousy should be given up neither by the body, nor by speech, but by seeing again and again with wisdom. And what is nasty jealousy? It\u2019s when a householder or their child is prospering in money, grain, silver, or gold. And a bondservant or dependent thinks: \u2018Oh, may that householder or their child not prosper in money, grain, silver, or gold!\u2019 Or an ascetic or brahmin receives robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick.
