The Discourse on the Divine World

18. "If, monks, heterodox wandering ascetics were to ask you thus - 'For rebirth in the world of the gods, friend, is the holy life lived under the ascetic Gotama?' Would you not, monks, thus asked, be troubled, be ashamed, be disgusted?" "Yes, venerable sir." "So then, monks, you are troubled, ashamed, disgusted with divine life span, you are troubled, ashamed, disgusted with divine beauty, with divine happiness, with divine fame, with divine authority; how much more then, monks, should you be troubled, be ashamed, be disgusted with bodily misconduct, with verbal misconduct... should be troubled, be ashamed, be disgusted with mental misconduct." The eighth.
