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.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cKnowing an individual\u2019s corrupted mind, the Buddha explained this matter in the mendicants\u2019 presence. If that individual were to die at this time, they\u2019d be reborn in hell, for their mind is corrupted. That sort is cast down as surely as if they\u2019d been carried off and put there. For corruption of mind is the reason sentient beings go to a bad place.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"A Corrupted Mind","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":175}
