Term

virtue

Actions of the body, speech, and mind that are conducive to one’s own and others’ genuine well-being. The opposite of virtue, non-virtue, consists of any of those three kinds of action that undermine one’s own and others’ genuine well-being, and they are invariably aroused, directly or indirectly, by one or more of the three fundamental mental afflictions of attachment, hatred, and delusion.
