2.462

In the third major section, on the twelve characteristics of the causes of karma: the first three are unwholesome characteristics; 4. by one's own power; 5. by another's power; 6. being coerced and driven by a king or the like; 7. giving rise to greed and so forth toward one's own possessions that have already been obtained, differentiated because earlier it was coveting another's possessions while here it is clinging to one's own wealth; 8. performing killing and other deeds out of fear, such as killing out of fear of another; 9. for the sake of causing damage, such as rats damaging things; 10. performing killing and other deeds for sport and amusement; 11. taking something to be the Dharma and regarding it as a principle, such as adhering to the killing of living beings as true Dharma; 12. denying cause and effect on account of wrong views. Since the causes of evil karma have been explained, the causes of wholesome karma can be understood as their opposites.
