Abandon wrongdoing.
It can be done.
If there were no likelihood,
I would not ask you to do it.
But since it is possible
and since it brings blessing and happiness,
I do ask of you:
abandon wrongdoing.
Cultivate doing good.
It can be done.
If it brought deprivation and sorrow,
I would not ask you to do it.
But since it brings blessing and happiness,
I do ask of you:
cultivate doing good.
– The Buddha (Anguttara Nikaya)
