*This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:* “Endowed with two things, monks, a person–as if carried off–is thus placed in hell. Which two? Evil habits & evil views. Endowed with these two things, a person–as if carried off–is thus placed in hell.”

Evil habits &

evil views:[1](https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/KN/Iti/iti32.html?ref=journal.ninthheaven.co)

a person, undiscerning,

endowed with these two things,

at the break-up of the body

reappears in hell.

Note

1\. [MN 22](https://www.journal.ninthheaven.co/civilisation/trad-buddhism/mn-22/) gives the following example of an evil view: “As I understand the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One, those acts the Blessed One says are obstructive, when indulged in, are not genuine obstructions.” [MN 38](https://www.journal.ninthheaven.co/civilisation/trad-buddhism/mn-38/) gives another example: “As I understand the Dhamma taught by the Blessed One, it is just this consciousness that runs and wanders on \[from birth to birth\], not another.”
