Untitled Discourse on Thirty Qualities
“Someone with thirty qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What thirty? They kill living creatures, steal, and commit sexual misconduct. They use speech that’s false, backbiting, harsh, or nonsensical. They’re covetous, malicious, with wrong view. They encourage others to do these things. And they approve of these things. Someone with these thirty qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.
