§ 32.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Endowed with two things, a person -- as if carried off -- is thus placed in hell. Which two? Evil habits & evil views. Endowed with these two things, a person -- as if carried off -- is thus placed in hell."

    Evil habits &
    evil views:*
a person, undiscerning,
endowed with these two things,
at the break-up of the body
    reappears in hell.




* M.117 gives the following example of an evil view: "There is nothing given, nothing offered, nothing sacrificed. There is no fruit or result of good or bad actions. There is no this world, no next world, no mother, no father, no spontaneously reborn beings; no priests or contemplatives who, faring rightly &practicing rightly, proclaim this world & the next after having directly known & realized it for themselves."
