### [1.186](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.186)

次諸煩惱結使而辨十惡者，以煩惱既是惑亂之法，能驅役行者心神，乃令觸境顛倒。若縱此惑情而起身、口、意者，則動與理乖，故於三業所起，備有十惡也。通名惡者，惡以乖理為義。此十並是乖理而起，故名為惡。亦名十不善道，以其能通苦報，故非善道也。

> The reason the ten unwholesome actions are distinguished next after the afflictions, fetters, and anuśayas is that since afflictions are dharmas of delusion and disturbance, capable of driving the practitioner's mind and consciousness, they cause one to be inverted when encountering sense objects. If one indulges these delusive dispositions and gives rise to body, speech, and mind, then every movement deviates from the principle; hence, among what is generated by the three karmas, the ten unwholesome actions are fully present. That they are collectively termed 'unwholesome' means that 'unwholesome' has the meaning of deviating from the principle. These ten all arise in deviation from the principle, and are therefore called unwholesome. They are also called the ten unwholesome courses of action, because they are capable of leading to painful retributions and are therefore not wholesome courses.
