An ordinary person breaks them because of clinging, and an enlightened person (arahant) is free of craving, clinging and aggression, and thus would not even want to break them. | |

There are other things that are bad, but we don't even perceive them as bad until we enlighten ourselves. There are also other things that are good (or neutral) but we perceive them as bad until we enlighten ourselves. | |

| Jun 17, 2015 at 18:51 | comment | added | beginner | Killing, stealing, cheating and lying exists only when suffering is present. When a being ceases to suffer, killing, stealing, cheating and lying cease too. | |
| Jun 17, 2015 at 18:44 | comment | added | Robin111 | Anything? Does that include killing, stealing, cheating, and lying? Do you have a reference for this position? Thanks. | |
