Āpāyikasutta

Bound for Loss

“Tayome, bhikkhave, āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāya.
“Mendicants, three kinds of people are bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.

Katame tayo?
What three?

Yo ca abrahmacārī brahmacāripaṭiñño,
Someone who is unchaste, but claims to be celibate;

yo ca suddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carantaṁ amūlakena abrahmacariyena anuddhaṁseti,
someone who makes a groundless accusation of unchastity against a person whose celibacy is pure;

yo cāyaṁ evaṁvādī evaṁdiṭṭhi: ‘natthi kāmesu doso’ti, so tāya kāmesu pātabyataṁ āpajjati.
and someone who has the view, ‘There is nothing wrong with sensual pleasures,’ so they throw themselves into sensual pleasures.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāyā”ti.
These are the three kinds of people bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.”

Paṭhamaṁ.
