Jains

“Mendicants, Jain ascetics have ten bad qualities.

What ten?

They’re faithless and

unethical,

without conscience

or prudence,

and devoted to untrue persons.

They glorify themselves and put others down.

They’re attached to their own views, holding them tight, and refusing to let go.

They’re deceptive,

with corrupt wishes

and bad friends.

Jain ascetics possess these ten bad qualities.”
