What two? It\u2019s when someone has done good and skillful things that keep them safe, but has not done bad things, violence and sin. Thinking, \u2018I have done good things\u2019, they\u2019re not mortified. Thinking, \u2018I haven\u2019t done bad things\u2019, they\u2019re not mortified. These are the two things that are not mortifying.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cHaving given up bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind, and whatever else is corrupt; not having done bad deeds, and having done many good, when their body breaks up, that wise person is reborn in heaven.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Not Mortifying","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":138}
