Ung. Thus it is said. The Niraya (无间地狱) is: From that very text, in terms of the greatness of virtues, or having done great harm, or having killed parents and teachers, one will definitely be in the Niraya for a kalpa. Because there is no time for happiness, it is said to be the Niraya. Thus it is said. The Sutra of Mindfulness states: The three actions of the body flow truthfully, and one is born three times in places like Punarjanma (藏文:ཡང་སོས་,梵文天城体:पुनर्जन्म,梵文罗马拟音:punarjanma,汉语字面意思:Rebirth). The cries of drinking alcohol, and the great cries of falsehood, the burning of wrong views, the extreme burning caused by the expulsion of nuns, and the uninterrupted karma will lead to rebirth in the Niraya. The sixteen surrounding areas are: Surrounded on all sides by the pit of fire, the swamp of rotting corpses, the rain of weapons, and the river of ash without end, because the four directions are surrounded, there are sixteen due to the four directions. The cause of being born there is: From that very text, if one has taken good vows but does not keep them well, then surely flesh and bones will be burned by the terrifying pit of fire, etc. Thus it is said. The neighboring life is: Enjoying various sufferings such as burning food, clothing, and dwellings. The cause of being born in the eight cold hells is: From that very text, the butter offered to the Victorious One, and the lamp offered by the Sangha, or stealing, destroying dwellings, and destroying the dwellings where the Dharma is taught, robbing clothes in cold times, and pouring water, will lead to rebirth in the cold hells. The suffering is: Being naked inside the snow, and pouring many very cold water bottles on top, causing blisters to appear on the body, and pus and blood to flow from the bursting blisters, and saying "Achu" from the mouth, and saying "Kyihud", and chattering teeth, and the body cracking into eight pieces, and cracking into sixteen pieces, and cracking into thirty-two pieces, etc., but even if it cracks, there is no danger of dying easily. The Friend's Letter says: If the suffering of being fiercely stabbed by three hundred short spears in one day here, compared to the small suffering of hell, one cannot even bear a thread, one cannot even endure a drop. Thus it is said. The cause of being born as a preta is: From that very text, robbing, being very stingy, not fearing wealth, not giving Dharma, not keeping vows, will lead to suffering from hunger and thirst in the preta realm. Thus it is said. The suffering is: The Friend's Letter says: The pretas, even in the summer, the moon is hot, and in the winter, the sun is...

冷。那些没有果实的树木,仅仅是看一眼,河流也会干涸。有些人嘴巴只有针眼那么大,肚子却像山一样饥饿难耐。即使是一点点不净的食物,也没有能力去寻找。转生为牲畜的原因是:正如经中所说,身语意三适中运用,造作使三毒放逸的行为,布施愚昧和嗔恨旁生,发愿自己成为牲畜,口中说出像牲畜一样的话,这十种原因会导致转生为牲畜。痛苦是:亲友书中说,在牲畜的出生地,也有杀戮和各种束缚的处所,对于那些舍弃寂静和善行的人来说,会出现互相吞食,极其难以忍受的痛苦。有些人为了外道的毛、骨头、肉和皮革而死亡。无力自主的其他众生,被锋利的武器、铁和铁钩击打,被役使为奴隶。正如经中所说。转生为人的原因是:正如经中所说,临终时宣说安乐之法后,欢喜见到佛像,听闻佛法,思维佛法,如此发愿便可转生为人。正如经中所说。痛苦是:与敌人相遇,与亲人分离等等,不可估量。转生为非天的原因是:正如经中所说,总是动摇不定,行为轻率,没有造作大的罪业,喜欢争斗和挑拨离间,这样就会转生到非天之处。正如经中所说。非天也因嫉妒天人的财富而心生痛苦,争斗和身体被切割撕裂等等痛苦很多。亲友书中说:非天也因憎恨天人的自然财富而心生巨大的痛苦。那些虽然有智慧,但心识被无明遮蔽,无法见到真理。正如经中所说。转生为天人的原因是:正如经中所说,布施和戒律清净,喜欢听闻佛法,行持十善,临终时见到佛像,就会转生到天人的处所。正如经中所说。痛苦是:即使是欲界天人,当死亡的征兆出现时,也有比地狱身体更大的痛苦。亲友书中说:即使在天界,那些拥有巨大安乐的天人,也会有死亡和堕落的痛苦。

Cold. Those trees that bear no fruit, merely by looking at them, even rivers will dry up. Some have mouths as small as the eye of a needle, yet their bellies are as hungry as a mountain. Even a little bit of impure food, they do not have the power to seek. The cause of being born as an animal is: As it says, using body, speech, and mind moderately, engaging in actions that cause the three poisons to be unrestrained, giving ignorance and hating animals, wishing oneself to be an animal, and speaking like an animal, these ten causes will lead to being born as an animal. Suffering is: In the "Friendly Letter" it says, in the birthplace of animals, there is also killing and various places of bondage, for those who abandon peace and virtuous deeds, there will be mutual devouring, which is extremely unbearable. Some die for the sake of the wool, bones, meat, and skin of non-Buddhists. Helpless other beings are struck with sharp weapons, iron, and iron hooks, and are used as slaves. As it says. The cause of being born as a human is: As it says, after teaching the Dharma of happiness at the time of death, rejoicing in seeing the precious ones, hearing the Dharma, and contemplating the Dharma, making such aspirations will lead to being born as a human. As it says. Suffering is: encountering enemies, being separated from relatives, and so on, which are immeasurable. The cause of being born as an Asura is: As it says, always being restless and acting recklessly, not committing great sins, liking to fight and create discord, one will be born in the place of the Asuras. As it says. Asuras also suffer mentally from jealousy of the wealth of the gods, and there are many sufferings such as fighting and having their bodies cut and torn apart. In the "Friendly Letter" it says: Asuras also have great mental suffering because they hate the natural wealth of the gods. Those who have intelligence, but whose minds are obscured by ignorance, cannot see the truth. As it says. The cause of being born as a god is: As it says, giving and pure morality, enjoying listening to the Dharma, practicing the ten virtues, and seeing the image of the deity at the time of death, one will be born in the place of the gods. As it says. Suffering is: Even the gods of the desire realm, when they are seized by the signs of death, have greater suffering than the body of hell. In the "Friendly Letter" it says: Even in the heavens, those who have great bliss, have the suffering of death and transference.

更大。如是说。虽然上二界暂时没有痛苦,但就像鸟儿在空中飞翔必定会落到地上一样,最终会堕落下来感受痛苦。如《亲友书》中所说:梵天获得离欲之乐而为天,却因成为无间地狱之火的燃料,痛苦持续不断地增长。如是说。那么,痛苦是如何产生的呢?每一个自性罪,也就是十不善业,都会将有情抛向三恶趣。由于主宰的缘故,果报只在外境成熟。如《宝鬘论》中所说:杀生导致威严减小,偷盗导致冰雹和锈蚀,邪淫导致尘土堆积,被霜冻带走。妄语导致气味好坏,离间语导致高低果报,恶语导致干旱,味道不好。贪婪导致果实张口,邪见导致果实变小而消失。如是说。等流果方面,《中观宝鬘论》中说:杀生导致短命,不予而取导致贫穷,行邪淫导致多怨敌,妄语导致受人轻贱,离间语导致友伴分离,恶语导致言语粗鄙,语粗暴导致常闻恶语,贪心导致希望破灭,害心导致资财损耗,邪见导致恶兆频现。如是说。广说方面,可参见《念住经》。每一条所制罪,也会产生痛苦。因果的详细情况,可参见《堕罪五聚经》中关于善与不善果报的观察,以及《圣者戒律毁坏的种种异熟果报经》、《律藏》、《业之镜经》、《贤愚经》和《大乘经》等,其中有广说,应于其中查阅。噶当派的喇嘛们说:为了听到更大的利益后,内心感到安乐,所以需要广泛阅读《念住经》。总的来说,善因产生乐果,善恶夹杂之因产生苦乐夹杂之果。

is greater than that. It is said thus. Although the two upper realms are temporarily without suffering, just as a bird flying in the sky must land on the ground, it will eventually fall down and experience suffering. As it is said in the Letter to a Friend: "Even Brahma, having attained the bliss of detachment, becomes fuel for the fire of Avici hell, thus constantly increasing suffering." It is said thus. How does suffering arise from that? Each of the ten non-virtuous actions, which are naturally blameworthy, throws beings into the three lower realms. Due to the power of the lord, the results ripen only externally. As it is said in the Precious Garland: "Killing causes a decrease in majesty, stealing causes hail and rust, sexual misconduct causes accumulation of dust, carried away by frost. Lying causes good and bad smells, slander causes high and low results, harsh words cause drought, and unpleasant tastes. Covetousness causes the fruit to open its mouth, and wrong views cause the fruit to become small and disappear." It is said thus. Regarding the result similar to the cause, it is said in the Middle Way Precious Garland: "Killing leads to a short life, taking what is not given leads to poverty, committing adultery leads to many enemies, lying leads to being despised, slander leads to separation from friends, harsh words lead to impolite speech, rough speech leads to hearing unpleasant things, greed destroys hope in the mind, harmful thoughts cause the destruction of wealth, and wrong views lead to bad omens." It is said thus. For extensive explanations, see the Mindfulness Sutra. Each of the prescribed transgressions also causes suffering. The details of cause and effect can be found in the Sutra on Examining the Good and Non-Good Results of the Five Aggregates of Offenses, the Sutra on the Various Ripening Results of the Noble One's Broken Discipline, the Vinaya Pitaka, the Mirror of Actions Sutra, the Wise and Foolish Sutra, and the Mahayana Sutras, where they are extensively explained. Therefore, one should consult them. The Kadampa lamas said: "In order to hear of greater benefits and feel at ease in the mind, it is necessary to extensively read the Mindfulness Sutra." In general, virtuous causes produce happy results, and mixed virtuous and non-virtuous causes produce mixed happy and unhappy results.

是,耳朵听到各种声音。到达短暂的地狱后,在一个美丽的城市里,住着一位用许多珍宝装饰的妇女。他向她乞讨食物,她邀请他进去,给了他许多美味的食物。然后,在一张床的四个角上,绑着四个饿鬼。她说:“什么都不要给他们”,然后就走了。因为怜悯,他给了一点,他们非常痛苦。她说:“如果他们吃了这些就够了,我为什么不给呢?”他问:“你们为什么会有这样的差别?”他们回答说:“前世我们是夫妻。他们去田里干活,带着午饭。一位比丘来到门口,把所有的食物都给了他。重新煮午饭,太阳已经晚了。他们很生气。讲述了以前的故事。他们对比丘说了恶语。他看到了他们恶语的果报,并祈祷他们能转生。所以我们出生在这里。否则,我们本应该转生为天神。”他又去了两间房子。一间里,一个男孩白天被四个美丽的女人崇拜,晚上,那四个女人变成四只母狼,吃他。另一间里,情况正好相反。当他问原因时,他们说:“前一个是妓女,白天守护誓言,晚上不守护,所以变成了那样。后一个是屠夫,白天不守护誓言,晚上守护,所以变成了这样。”如果善恶导致苦乐,为什么现在恶人快乐,善人却受苦呢?现在的痛苦是前世的果报。看看你以前做了什么。现在行善作恶,除了少数有权势的人,对来世有益。问问你的业,来世会去哪里。圣者迦旃延,一位老妇人供养了一满罐水,据说她因此转生为天神。《白莲经》中说,即使你以佛为目标,从地上向空中扔一朵花,也无法找到那无始的尽头,在轮回的劫数中,也无法找到获得帝释天和转轮王的尽头。律藏中说:即使是微小的善行,也不要轻视,认为无益。水滴的积累,最终会逐渐充满大容器。

Then, the ears heard various sounds. After arriving at a temporary hell, in a beautiful city, there lived a woman adorned with many jewels. He begged her for food, and she invited him in, giving him much delicious food. Then, at the four corners of a bed, four hungry ghosts were tied. She said, "Give them nothing," and then left. Out of compassion, he gave a little, and they suffered greatly. She said, "If they are satisfied with eating this, why wouldn't I give it?" He asked, "Why do you have such a difference?" They replied, "In a previous life, we were a family. They went to the fields to work, taking their lunch. A monk came to the door and gave all the food to him. Re-cooking the lunch, the sun was late. They were angry. Recounting the previous story, they spoke evil words to the monk. He saw the fruition of their evil words and prayed that they would be reborn. So we were born here. Otherwise, we should have been born as gods." He went to two more houses. In one, a boy was worshiped by four beautiful women during the day, and at night, those four women turned into four she-wolves and ate him. In the other, the opposite was true. When he asked the reason, they said, "The former was a prostitute, guarding her vows during the day and not guarding them at night, so she became like that. The latter was a butcher, not guarding his vows during the day but guarding them at night, so he became like this." If good and evil lead to happiness and suffering, why do evil people have happiness now, and good people suffer? The present suffering is the fruition of previous actions. Look at what you did before. Now, doing good and evil, except for a few powerful people, is beneficial for the future. Ask your karma where you will go in the future. To the venerable Katyayana, an old woman offered a full pot of water, and it is said that she was reborn as a god because of it. In the White Lotus Sutra, it says that even if you aim at the Buddha and throw a flower into the sky from the ground, you cannot find the beginning of that invisible end, and in the kalpas of samsara, you cannot find the end of obtaining Indra and a Chakravartin. In the Vinaya Pitaka, it says: Even small virtues should not be despised, thinking they are useless. The accumulation of drops of water will gradually fill a large container.
