Bound for Loss
“Mendicants, these three 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 chaste; someone who makes a groundless accusation of unchastity against a person whose chastity 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 who are bound for a place of loss, bound for hell, if they don’t give up this fault.”
