3: The Book of the Threes
XII. Bound for Loss — AN 3.113: Bound for Loss
- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1“Mendicants, three kinds of people are bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault. What three?
Someone who is unchaste, but claims to be celibate; someone who makes a groundless accusation of unchastity against a person whose celibacy is pure; and someone who has the view, ‘There is nothing wrong with sensual pleasures,’ so they throw themselves into sensual pleasures.
These are the three kinds of people bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.”
1"Tayome, bhikkhave, āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāya. Katame tayo?
Yo ca abrahmacārī brahmacāripaṭiñño, yo ca suddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carantaṁ amūlakena abrahmacariyena anuddhaṁseti, yo cāyaṁ evaṁvādī evaṁdiṭṭhi: ‘Natthi kāmesu doso’ti, so tāya kāmesu pātabyataṁ āpajjati.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāyā"ti.
Paṭhamaṁ.
