Usage notes
In traditional Buddhist precepts the Ten Evil Acts are divided into the three physical evils (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct), the four verbal evils (lying, flattery or indiscriminate and irresponsible speech, defamation, duplicity), and the three mental evils (greed, anger, foolishness or holding mistaken views). The Ten Good Acts,, are to refrain from committing any of the ten evils.
