AN.5.184. Sosānikasutta ("Charnel Ground Dwellers")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, there are these five kinds of people who dwell in a charnel ground. What five? A person may dwell in a charnel ground because of stupidity … bad desires … madness … because it is praised by the Buddhas … or for the sake of having few wishes … These are the five kinds of people who dwell in a charnel ground.”
