Summary

The Buddha, after bathing with Ananda, discusses the fate of Devadatta, stating he is destined for hell due to the complete absence of any redeeming qualities. He then proceeds to explain the characteristics of different types of individuals based on their potential for good or evil, focusing on how their thoughts and actions lead to either increasing virtue or increasing vice. The discourse outlines six types of people, categorizing them based on whether their good or bad qualities will increase, decrease, or lead to ultimate liberation. (AI generated)
