The three ways to avoid unwholesome deeds


In Adipatteiya sutta, the Buddha preached three tactics one must consider before engage in wrong deeds to refrain oneself unwholesome acts. These tactics are;

* Attadipatteiya : Avoiding wrong deeds considering one’s position, education, generation, etc.

* Lokadipatteiya : Avoiding wrong deeds for the fear of insults from the society, world, etc.

* Dhammadipatteiya:  Avoiding wrong deeds that contradict moral doctrine, Dhamma teachings, etc.

May all beings be well and happy & attain the fruit of Nibbana.
