Killing Living Creatures
“चतूहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं निरये। कतमेहि चतूहि? अत्तना च पाणातिपाती होति, परञ्च पाणातिपाते समादपेति, पाणातिपाते च समनुञ्ञो होति, पाणातिपातस्स च वण्णं भासति—इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, चतूहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं निरये।
“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi catūhi? Attanā ca pāṇātipātī hoti, parañca pāṇātipāte samādapeti, pāṇātipāte ca samanuñño hoti, pāṇātipātassa ca vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati—imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.
“Bhikkhus, someone with four qualities is cast down to hell. What four? They themselves kill living creatures; they encourage others to kill living creatures; they approve of killing living creatures; and they praise killing living creatures. Someone with these four qualities is cast down to hell.
चतूहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं सग्गे। कतमेहि चतूहि? अत्तना च पाणातिपाता पटिविरतो होति, परञ्च पाणातिपाता वेरमणिया समादपेति, पाणातिपाता वेरमणिया च समनुञ्ञो होति, पाणातिपाता वेरमणिया च वण्णं भासति—इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, चतूहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो यथाभतं निक्खित्तो एवं सग्गे”ति।
Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi catūhi? Attanā ca pāṇātipātā paṭivirato hoti, parañca pāṇātipātā veramaṇiyā samādapeti, pāṇātipātā veramaṇiyā ca samanuñño hoti, pāṇātipātā veramaṇiyā ca vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati—imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge”ti.
Someone with four qualities is raised up to heaven. What four? They don’t themselves kill living creatures; they encourage others to not kill living creatures; they approve of not killing living creatures; and they praise not killing living creatures. Someone with these four qualities is raised up to heaven.”
