There are however instances in the suttas where a heinous act led directly
to hell, and at once, not even waiting for the life to come to its natural
end, i.e.it happened right after the deed was committed.
Such a one is JA 72 Silavanaga jataka, where Devadatta in a former existence
was an ingrate with the Boddhisatta elephant, sawing off all his ivory.
Another is where someone slanders Vens Mahamogallana and Sariputta. The Buddha
thrice tells him ‘do not say so, do not say so’. He is swallowed up into Avichi
right afterwards. I have come across others, but I cannot remember which suttas
they were.
Metta to all
