Suttas where Buddha taught laypeople after heaven they will be reborn in hell?
Seldom he taught the transcendent path and the backward to householder. Seldom he taught sunnata to householder. Why? Because the untrained mind would not understand and not protected by firm Silas and precepts &quot;Yogies&quot; dwelling in &quot;housholder-equanimity&quot; would cause them all the reasons to fall into hell, after their &quot;equanimity&quot; journey, gross transgressions, totally unaware, one self totally overestimated.
They would easily, which a notion of &quot;there is no I&quot; tend to pernicious false beliefs which causes them to fall to hell.

The so-called 'evil views with fixed destiny' (niyata-micchāditthi) constituting the last of the 10 unwholesome courses of action (kammapatha), are the following three:

(1) the fatalistic 'view of the uncaused ness' of existence (ahetukaditthi),

(2) the view of the inefficacy of action' (akiriyaditthi),

(3) nihilism (natthikaditthi).



(Of course many do not see that they just put the lable of Buddha Dhamma around gross wrong view.)
This is actuallynothing seldom. We find that much under modern Zen-follower, Bodhisatva strivers and in many other secualar approaches where householder are trained in &quot;householder&quot;-equanimity, meditation, but their basic right view and virtue not firm.
Where as the Uposatha of the &quot;cowboys&quot; still has an opening to the path, even if it is mostly just for mundane merits done, the Uposatha of the Jains cuts one easy of the path and closes all access.
Not to speak about the effects on many, when teaching but denying mundane right view, saying somehow &quot;thats kindergarden&quot;-Dhamma.

By ChrisW in regard of the question: If there isn't such a sutta, how could someone prove that in an answer? Where did you get the idea (or knowledge) that there isn't such a sutta: did you discover that yourself, or did someone tell you?

If you try to motivate a child to go to school and learn, become a doctor or what ever, would one start to teach it that doctors also dy?
If one has learned the skill of a doctor, whould it be good to tell him, that he still will go to dy?
The &quot;problem&quot; here is actually that many teaching and training &quot;a doctor will not dy&quot;.
What do you think that you and many are? In which possible problematic situation of doubt and desire, yet full of knowledge, all around?
Stick simply to the Basics, all that you have learned and gained by means that are not in line of the Dhamma-Vinaya will not help, but be actually enemies. Why? Because it was not given, is not in line of the economy of the Noble Ones.
Devaduta Sutta: The Deva Messengers
People don't understand when it is sayed that association with fools lead to much suffering. Like the bandits encourage each other &quot;don't be fool, they will not catch us. Why suffer and work&quot;.

&quot;This is a man, your majesty, with no respect for mother, no respect for father [1], no reverence for contemplatives, no reverence for brahmans, no honor for the leaders of his clan. (e.g. wrong view) Let your majesty decree his punishment.&quot;

Dhammadhatu's concern in a discussion under his question:

My impression is it a common view in contemporary Buddhism that seeking heaven is ultimately vain because it is temporary. However, I have never read such a view taught to lay people in the suttas therefore by asking this question I hope to clarify the matter. It is a genuine question. Regards.

This Sutta might be useful for understanding: Gilana Sutta: Ill and This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
A Gradual Training
Today there are many householder and also monastics, making materialist a favor running around on Dhamma-places, in forums... and dispraise the doing of merits and come up with wired &quot;no-rebirth&quot; and &quot;no-doer no deed&quot; approaches. With their &quot;householder-equanimity&quot; (see here) they fall from this heaven and that is why the normally tolerant Buddha was very resolved in rebuking their approches, because it is for the suffering of many.
And why do this &quot;Devas&quot; fall into hell later on? Because they teach to be unvirtouse, even to kill not seeing the impureness in their ways, having not understood the basics, yet believing that they are beyond...
