Develop virtue, monks. It is possible, monks, to
develop virtue. Because it is possible to develop
virtue, then I say thus �monks, develop virtue�.
Indeed, monks, if the development of virtue would lead
to harm and suffering, I would not say thus �monks,
develop virtue�. Because, monks, the development of
virtue leads to welfare and happiness, thus I say
�monks, develop virtue�.
(A.N. 2.2.19 Adhikara.navaggo)
