Sosānikasutta

Charnel Ground Dwellers

“Pañcime, bhikkhave, sosānikā.
“Mendicants, these five dwell in a charnel ground.

Katame pañca?
What five?

Mandattā momūhattā sosāniko hoti …pe… idamatthitaṁyeva nissāya sosāniko hoti.
A person may dwell in a charnel ground because of stupidity … corrupt wishes … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes …

Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca sosānikā”ti.
These are the five who dwell in a charnel ground.”
