Fear of the Bad Place

“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sabbaduggatibhayaṁ samatikkanto hoti.
“Mendicants, a noble disciple who has four things has gone beyond all fear of being reborn in a bad place.

Katamehi catūhi?
What four?

Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti—
It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha …

itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti.

Dhamme …pe…
the teaching …

saṅghe …pe…
the Saṅgha …

ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgato hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi.
And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones … leading to immersion.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako sabbaduggatibhayaṁ samatikkanto hotī”ti.
A noble disciple who has these four things has gone beyond all fear of being reborn in a bad place.”

Catutthaṁ.
