Bound for LossĀpāyikasutta

“Mendicants, these three are bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.“Tayome, bhikkhave, āpāyikā nerayikā idamappahāya. What three?Katame tayo?

Someone who is unchaste, but claims to be chaste;Yo ca abrahmacārī brahmacāripaṭiñño, someone who makes a groundless accusation of unchastity against a person whose chastity is pure;yo ca suddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carantaṁ amūlakena abrahmacariyena anuddhaṁseti, 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.

These are the three who are 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.
