160. Nikkhitto Niraye Sutta (Deposited into Hell – Part 4) Bhikkhus, by possessing three things, one is reborn in hell as if brought and deposited there. What three? One speaks falsely and lies; one incites others to speak falsely and to lie; and one justifies and approves of others speaking falsely and lying. However, Bhikkhus, by possessing these other three things, one is reborn in heaven as if brought and deposited there. What three? One abstains from speaking falsely or lying; one encourages others to abstain from speaking falsely or lying; and one disapproves of others speaking falsely or lying.
