One abandons the ten nonvirtuous actions: three physical actions of killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct; four verbal actions of lying, slander, harsh speech, and idle talk; and, furthermore, three mental actions of covetousness,malice, and wrong views.

The uncontaminated arhats are not vessels for this Dharma teaching. Why? Because a Dharma teaching like this does not engage with the attributes of ordinary beings, it does not engage with the attributes of arhats, it does not engage with the attributes of pratyekabuddhas, and it does not engage with the attributes of tathāgatas. It does not engage at all in the observation of phenomena. This is because it neither engages in nor retreats from anything. This is because all phenomena are void.

Those who always abound in strong effort,
Who dwell in the wilderness alone,
Whose minds do not rely on the world‍—
They are true monks.
