[1] Thus have I heard:
On a certain occasion the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, there are these four wrong practices.
What four?
Lying speech,
spiteful speech,
bitter speech
and idle babble.
These are the four wrong practices."
