Hell (2nd)

“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
“Mendicants, someone with six qualities is cast down to hell.

Katamehi chahi?
What six?

Pāṇātipātī hoti, adinnādāyī hoti, kāmesumicchācārī hoti, musāvādī hoti, luddho ca, pagabbho ca.
They kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, and lie. And they’re greedy and rude.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
Someone with these six qualities is cast down to hell.

Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.
Someone with six qualities is raised up to heaven.

Katamehi chahi?
What six?

Pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti, adinnādānā paṭivirato hoti, kāmesumicchācārā paṭivirato hoti, musāvādā paṭivirato hoti, aluddho ca, appagabbho ca.
They don’t kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, or lie. And they’re not greedy or rude.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.
Someone with these six qualities is raised up to heaven.”

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
