「諸比丘!如來說四正法,謂口四惡行:一者妄語,二者兩舌,三者惡口,四者綺語。復有四法,謂口四善行:一者實語,二者軟語,三者不綺語,四者不兩舌。
“Monks, the Tathāgata has taught four correct things, which are four verbal bad practices: First is false speech, second is duplicity, third is harsh speech, and fourth is frivolous speech.
“There are another four things, which are four verbal good practices: First is truthful speech, second is gentle speech, third is speech that isn’t frivolous, and fourth is speech that isn’t duplicitous.
