“Someone with ten qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What ten? It’s when someone kills living creatures. They’re violent, bloody-handed, a hardened killer, merciless to all living beings. They steal. …

“Dasahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi dasahi? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pāṇātipātī hoti luddo lohitapāṇi hatapahate niviṭṭho adayāpanno sabbapāṇabhūtesu. Adinnādāyī hoti …

They commit sexual misconduct. … They lie. … They backbite. … They speak harshly. …

kāmesumicchācārī hoti … musāvādī hoti … pisuṇavāco hoti … pharusavāco hoti …

They talk nonsense. … They’re covetous. … They have cruel intentions. … They have wrong view. …

samphappalāpī hoti … abhijjhālu hoti … byāpannacitto hoti … micchādiṭṭhiko hoti viparītadassano:

Someone with these ten qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. Someone with ten qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there.

‘natthi dinnaṁ …pe… sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedentī’ti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, dasahi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Dasahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.

What ten? It’s when someone gives up killing living creatures, renouncing the rod and the sword. They’re scrupulous and kind, living full of sympathy for all living beings. They give up stealing. … They give up sexual misconduct. …

They’re content. … They’re kind hearted. … They have right view. …
