166. Nikkhitto Niraye Sutta (Deposited into Hell – Part 10) Bhikkhus, by possessing three things, one is reborn in hell, as if brought and deposited there. What three? One has and holds on to wrong views. One incites others to develop and hold on to wrong views. And one justifies and approves of having and holding on to wrong views. Thus, Bhikkhus, by possessing these three things, one is reborn in hell, as if brought and deposited there. However, Bhikkhus, by possessing these other three things, one is reborn in heaven, as if brought and deposited there. What three? One has and holds on to the Right View. One encourages others to rectify their view and thus gain the Right View. And one approves of having the Right View. Therefore, Bhikkhus, by possessing these three other things, one is reborn in heaven, as if brought and deposited there.
