AN 3.113 Bound for Loss

Reference Translation by Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0).

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

What three?

Someone who is unchaste, but claims to be chaste;

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

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

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

​

“Tayome, bhikkhave, āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāya.

Katame tayo?

Yo ca abrahmacārī brahmacāripaṭiñño,

yo ca suddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carantaṁ amūlakena abrahmacariyena anuddhaṁseti,

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

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

Paṭhamaṁ.
