Cast Down

“Mendicants, a mendicant with five qualities is cast down to hell.
What five?
It’s when a mendicant is faithless, shameless, imprudent, lazy, and witless.
A mendicant with these five qualities is cast down to hell.
A mendicant with five qualities is raised up to heaven.
What five?
It’s when a mendicant is faithful, conscientious, prudent, energetic, and wise.
A mendicant with these five qualities is raised up to heaven.”
