an.1.43 Aṅguttara Nikāya (Numbered Discourses)
43
“Mendicants, when I’ve comprehended the mind of a person whose mind is corrupted, I understand:
‘If this person were to die right now, they would be cast down to hell.’
Why is that?
Because their mind is corrupted.
Corruption of mind is the reason why some sentient beings, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell.”
