“Mendicants, someone with four qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What four? Hurtful deeds by way of body, speech, and mind, and hurtful view. Someone with these four qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.

Someone with four qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there. What four? Pleasing deeds by way of body, speech, and mind, and pleasing view. Someone with these four qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there.”
