“Someone with ten qualities is cast down to hell. What ten? It’s when a certain person kills living creatures. They’re violent, bloody-handed, a hardened killer, merciless to living beings.

They steal. … They commit sexual misconduct. … They lie. … They speak divisively. … They speak harshly. … They indulge in talking nonsense. … They’re covetous. … They have cruel intentions. … They have wrong view. … Someone with these ten qualities is cast down to hell.

Someone with ten qualities is raised up to heaven. What ten? It’s when a certain person gives up killing living creatures. They renounce the rod and the sword. They’re scrupulous and kind, living full of sympathy for all living beings.

They give up stealing. … They give up sexual misconduct. … They give up lying. … They give up divisive speech. … They give up harsh speech. … They give up talking nonsense. … They’re content. … They’re kind hearted. … They have right view. … Someone with these ten qualities is raised up to heaven.”
