### [13.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2102.13.6)

十善者。身不犯殺盜婬。意不嫉恚癡。口不妄言綺語兩舌惡口。何謂不殺。常當矜愍一切蠕動之類。雖在困急終不害彼。凡眾生厄難皆當盡心營救。隨其水陸各令得所。疑有為己殺者皆不當受。何謂為盜。凡取非己有不問小大。及莅官不清。皆謂之盜。何謂為婬。一切諸著普謂之婬。施之色欲非正匹偶。皆不得犯。

> The ten good deeds are: physically not committing killing, stealing, or sexual misconduct; mentally not being jealous, angry, or foolish; and verbally not uttering false speech, ornate words, divisive speech, or harsh speech. What is meant by not killing? One should constantly take pity on all creeping and wriggling creatures; even in distress and extremity, one never harms them. Whenever sentient beings face perils and difficulties, one should do one's utmost to rescue them, seeing that each, according to water or land, finds its proper place. If there is suspicion that an animal was killed for one's own sake, one must not accept it. What is meant by stealing? Taking what is not one's own, regardless of whether it is large or small, as well as not being clean and incorrupt when holding official office, is all called stealing. What is meant by sexual misconduct? All forms of attachment are generally called sexual misconduct; when applied to sexual desire, whatever is not with one's lawful spouse must not be violated.
