Re: avihimsa·sankappa and abyapada·sankappa

The third term "avihiṃsāsaṅkappa" is found not only in ine Pali canonical
texts but also in Sanskrit outside the Theravada tradition, judging by the
following quote (Apr 1. 2013) from a discussion (Re: saṃkalpa in the
Abhidharmakośa) on the Dharma Wheel website:

<< I did a quick search through the Vyākhyā and didn't see anything that was
directly relevant to your query. However, it's possible that I may have
missed something.

But at any rate, I don't think there's much difference between how Theravāda
and Sarvāstivāda authors regard saṃkalpa. For example, Ghoṣaka's Amṛtarasa
states that samyaksaṃkalpa consists of the three skillful thoughts
(kuśalavitarka/kuśalasaṃkalpa): the thought of renunciation (naiṣkramya), of
non-ill will/non-aversion (avyāpāda), and non-harming (avihiṃsā). This
parallels Pāli suttas such as DN 22 and MN 78. >>
