fighting and lying: daṇḍādāna-satthādāna-kalaha-viggaha-vivāda-tuvaṃtuvaṃ-pesuñña-musāvādā

 daṇḍādāna-satthādāna-kalaha-viggaha-vivāda-tuvaṃtuvaṃ-pesuñña-musāvādā

taking up the rod and the sword, quarrels, arguments, and disputes, accusations, divisive speech, and lies

4 suttas that use that expression


DN 15, DN 34, MN 18 make perfect sense why fighting and lying would stop.


MN 60 doesn't quite make sense. 

Why would rebirth in formless realm prevent lying and fighting?  Non Buddhists reborn obviously wouldn't be able to fight over anything that contains rūpa, but they could still lie and fight over things related to their mental identiy and mental 'body'.
