– So It Was Said 31
The Book of the Twos Chapter One Not Mortifying
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“These two things, mendicants, are not mortifying. What two? It’s when someone has done good and skillful things that keep them safe, but has not done bad things, violence and sin. Thinking, ‘I have done good things’, they’re not mortified. Thinking, ‘I haven’t done bad things’, they’re not mortified. These are the two things that are not mortifying.”
The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
