The Book of the Twos Chapter One Mortifying
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“These two things, mendicants, are mortifying. What two? It’s when someone hasn’t done good and skillful things that keep them safe, but has done bad things, violence and sin. Thinking, ‘I haven’t done good things’, they’re mortified. Thinking, ‘I have done bad things’, they’re mortified. These are the two things that are mortifying.”

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
