AN 3.113 Bound for Loss – Āpāyikasutta

 

1.1

“Bhikkhū, three kinds of people are bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.

“Tayome, bhikkhave, āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāya.

1.2

What three?

Katame tayo?

1.3

Someone who is unchaste, but claims to be celibate;

Yo ca abrahmacārī brahmacāripaṭiñño,

1.4

someone who makes a groundless accusation of unchastity against a person whose celibacy is pure;

yo ca suddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carantaṁ amūlakena abrahmacariyena anuddhaṁseti,

1.5

and someone who has the view, ‘There is nothing wrong with sensual pleasures,’ so they throw themselves into sensual pleasures.

yo cāyaṁ evaṁvādī evaṁdiṭṭhi: ‘natthi kāmesu doso’ti, so tāya kāmesu pātabyataṁ āpajjati.

1.6

These are the three kinds of people bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.”

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāyā”ti.

1.7
