1 “There are, O bhikkhus, these three sources for the origination of kamma. What three? Greed is a source for the origination of kamma, hatred is a source for the origination of kamma, delusion is a source for the origination of kamma.

2 It is not greed, O bhikkhus, that causes non-greed to originate. Rather, O bhikkhus, it is just greed that causes greed to originate. It is not hatred, O bhikkhus, that causes non-hatred to originate. Rather, O bhikkhus, it is just hatred that causes hatred to originate. It is not delusion, O bhikkhus, that causes non-delusion to originate. Rather, O bhikkhus, it is just delusion that causes delusion to originate.

3 It is neither the devas, O bhikkhus, nor human beings, or any other happy destinations that are discerned [on account of] kamma done by greed, kamma done by hatred, and kamma done by delusion. Rather, O bhikkhus, it is the hells, the animal wombs, the ghost realms, or any other bad destinations that are discerned [on account of] kamma done by greed, kamma done by hatred, and kamma done by delusion.

4 These, O bhikkhus, are the three sources for the origination of kamma.”

It is not non-hatred, O bhikkhus, that causes hatred to originate. Rather, O bhikkhus, it is just non-hatred that causes non-hatred to originate.

7 It is neither the hells, O bhikkhus, nor the animal wombs, nor the ghost realms, nor any other bad destinations that are discerned [on account of] kamma done by non-greed, kamma done by non-hatred, and kamma done by non-delusion.

8 These, O bhikkhus, are the three sources for the origination of kamma.”
