Having Wrong View

“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgatā bhikkhunī yathābhataṁ nikkhittā evaṁ niraye.
“Mendicants, a nun with five qualities is cast down to hell.

Katamehi pañcahi?
What five?

Ananuvicca apariyogāhetvā avaṇṇārahassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati,
Without examining or scrutinizing, she praises those deserving of criticism,

ananuvicca apariyogāhetvā vaṇṇārahassa avaṇṇaṁ bhāsati,
and criticizes those deserving of praise.

micchādiṭṭhikā ca hoti,
She has wrong view

micchāsaṅkappā ca,
and wrong thought,

saddhādeyyaṁ vinipāteti.
and wastes gifts given in faith.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgatā bhikkhunī yathābhataṁ nikkhittā evaṁ niraye.
A nun with these five qualities is cast down to hell.

Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgatā bhikkhunī yathābhataṁ nikkhittā evaṁ sagge.
A nun with five qualities is raised up to heaven.

Katamehi pañcahi?
What five?

Anuvicca pariyogāhetvā avaṇṇārahassa avaṇṇaṁ bhāsati,
After examining and scrutinizing, she criticizes those deserving of criticism,

anuvicca pariyogāhetvā vaṇṇārahassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati,
and praises those deserving of praise.

sammādiṭṭhikā ca hoti,
She has right view

sammāsaṅkappā ca,
and right thought,

saddhādeyyaṁ na vinipāteti.
and doesn’t waste gifts given in faith.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgatā bhikkhunī yathābhataṁ nikkhittā evaṁ sagge”ti.
A nun with these five qualities is raised up to heaven.”
