Nirayasutta
Hell
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato upāsako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
“Mendicants, a lay follower with five qualities is cast down to hell.
Katamehi pañcahi?
What five?
Pāṇātipātī hoti …pe… surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāyī hoti.
They kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, lie, and consume beer, wine, and liquor intoxicants.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato upāsako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
A lay follower with these five qualities is cast down to hell.
Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato upāsako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge.
A lay follower with five qualities is raised up to heaven.
Katamehi pañcahi?
What five?
Pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti …pe… surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhānā paṭivirato hoti.
They don’t kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, lie, or consume beer, wine, and liquor intoxicants.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato upāsako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.
A lay follower with these five qualities is raised up to heaven.”
