1“Someone with three qualities is cast down to hell. What three? Blameworthy deeds by way of body, speech, and mind.
Someone with these three qualities is cast down to hell.
2Someone with three qualities is raised up to heaven. What three? Blameless deeds by way of body, speech, and mind. Someone with these three qualities is raised up to heaven.”
1"Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi tīhi? Sāvajjena kāyakammena, sāvajjena vacīkammena, sāvajjena manokammena –
imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
2Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi tīhi? Anavajjena kāyakammena, anavajjena vacīkammena, anavajjena manokammena – imehi kho … pe … evaṁ sagge"ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
