AN 5.211 An Abuser

Reference Translation by Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0).

“Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu akkosakaparibhāsako ariyūpavādī sabrahmacārīnaṁ, tassa pañca ādīnavā pāṭikaṅkhā.

¶ 1“Mendicants, a mendicant who abuses and insults their spiritual companions, denouncing the noble ones, can expect these five drawbacks.

Katame pañca?

¶ 2What five?

Pārājiko vā hoti chinnaparipantho, aññataraṁ vā saṅkiliṭṭhaṁ āpattiṁ āpajjati, bāḷhaṁ vā rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, sammūḷho kālaṁ karoti, kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjati.

¶ 3They’re expelled, cut off, blocked out; or they commit a corrupt offense; or they contract a severe illness. They feel lost when they die. And when their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell.

Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu akkosakaparibhāsako ariyūpavādī sabrahmacārīnaṁ, tassa ime pañca ādīnavā pāṭikaṅkhā”ti.

¶ 4A mendicant who abuses and insults their spiritual companions, denouncing the noble ones, can expect these five drawbacks.”
