The Long Āgama Sūtra 12.10

12.10

「又有四法趣向惡趣，四法向善趣，四法向涅槃。云何四法向惡趣？謂愛語、恚語、怖語、癡語。云何四法向善趣？謂不愛語、不恚語、不怖語、不癡語。云何四法向涅槃？謂四念處：身念處、受念處、意念處、法念處。

“Again, there are four things that lead to bad destinies, four things that lead to good destinies, and four things that lead to Nirvāṇa.

“What are four things that lead to bad destinies? They are lustful speech, angry speech, fearful speech, and deluded speech.

“What are four things that lead to good destinies? Speech without lust, speech without anger, speech without fear, and speech without delusion.

“What are four things that lead to Nirvāṇa? The mindful abode of body, mindful abode of feelings, mindful abode of mind, and mindful abode of teachings.
