Sister Upalavana

[1.1][pts][bodh] I heard thus.

Bhikkhus, three things are troublesome to oneself, troublesome to others and bring trouble on both parties.

What three?

Bhikkhus, bodily, verbal and mental misbehaviour is troublesome to oneself, troublesome to others and bring trouble to both parties.

Bhikkhus, three things are not troublesome to oneself, not troublesome to others and does not bring trouble on both parties.

What three?

Bhikkhus, bodily, verbal and mental good behaviour is not troublesome to oneself, not troublesome to others and does not bring trouble to both parties.
