1. Bound for Loss

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.”
