Cast Down Yathābhatasutta

“Mendicants, a mendicant with five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. “Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? It’s when a mendicant is faithless, shameless, imprudent, lazy, and witless. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu assaddho hoti, ahiriko hoti, anottappī hoti, kusīto hoti, duppañño hoti. A mendicant with these five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.

A mendicant with five qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there. Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? It’s when a mendicant is faithful, conscientious, prudent, energetic, and wise. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho hoti, hirīmā hoti, ottappī hoti, āraddhavīriyo hoti, paññavā hoti. A mendicant with these five qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there.” Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.
