## The Third Chapter: The Right Conduct

**BE** Now, the scripture explains the nature of Dharma as Right Conduct: One who has attained knowledge through the removal of the darkness of delusion, adopts Right Conduct for the elimination of attachment and aversion.

**1.** "Right Conduct" refers to the characteristic of conduct that is free from violence and other vices. "Adopts" means to accept. Who is this? The "noble" soul, the one destined for liberation. What is his characteristic? He has attained knowledge. Why? Because he has gained vision. And this vision, how did it arise? Through the "removal of the darkness of delusion." Delusion is the delusion of perception, and this is the darkness. Its removal is the cessation of delusion, or its gradual weakening. Or, delusion is the delusion of perception and conduct, and the darkness is the veil of ignorance, etc. The removal of these is the removal of the delusion of perception. This is the meaning: Through the removal of the delusion of perception, one gains vision. With the removal of darkness, one attains knowledge through vision. The soul, free from the veil of ignorance, develops knowledge, and due to the grace of right vision, it attains the correct understanding. Such a soul, free from the delusion of conduct, adopts Right Conduct. For what purpose? "For the elimination of attachment and aversion." The elimination of attachment and aversion is the cause for the elimination of violence and other vices.

**1.** ... For only when these are eliminated can the elimination of violence and other vices occur.

**2.** The elimination of violence and other vices is achieved. Why? Because of the elimination of attachment and aversion. This is the meaning here: The elimination of attachment and aversion, etc., leads to the cessation of the delusion of perception, etc., and this results in Right Conduct, which is characterized by the elimination of violence and other vices. Therefore, the elimination of attachment and aversion, etc., leads to the elimination of the more subtle and the most subtle forms of violence, etc. In the realm of the virtues of restraint, etc., attachment, aversion, violence, etc., remain as long as they are not completely eliminated.
