12. Bound for Loss

Bound for Loss

“Bhikkhus, three kinds of people 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 celibate; someone who makes a groundless accusation of unchastity against a person whose celibacy 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 kinds of people bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.”
