Summary

This text, the Sutra on Receiving the Ten Wholesome Precepts, details the ten non-virtuous actions (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, anger, and wrong view) and how to purify these through confession and refuge in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). It then explains how to take the ten wholesome precepts by refraining from the ten non-virtuous actions and observing eight additional precepts. The text also vividly describes the karmic consequences of committing these non-virtuous deeds, including rebirth in various hell realms, and extols the virtues and benefits of upholding the precepts for a better rebirth and eventual liberation.
