“譬如大火焚烧人身，人能于中一心制意、端身正行，独作诸善、不为众恶者，身独度脱，获其福德度世上天泥洹之道，是为一大善也。” 佛言：“其二恶者，世间人民——父子、兄弟、室家、夫妇——都无义理，不顺法度。奢淫憍纵，各欲快意，任心自恣，更相欺惑。心口各异、言念无实、佞谄不忠、巧言谀媚、嫉贤谤善，陷入怨枉。主上不明任用臣下、臣下自在机伪多端，践度能行知其形势。在位不正为其所欺，妄损忠良不当天心。臣欺其君、子欺其父，兄弟、夫妇、中外知识更相欺诳，各怀贪欲、瞋恚、愚痴，欲自厚己、欲贪多有，尊卑、上下心俱同然。破家亡身不顾前后，亲属内外坐之灭族。或时室家、知识、乡党、市里、愚民、野人转共从事，更相剥害，忿成怨结。富有悭惜不肯施与，爱保贪重心劳身苦，如是至竟无所恃怙，独来独去无一随者。善恶、祸福追命所生，或在乐处、或入苦毒，然后乃悔，当复何及？世间人民心愚少智，见善憎谤不思慕及，但欲为恶妄作非法，常怀盗心悕望他利，消散磨尽而复求索。邪心不正，惧人有色，不豫思计，事至乃悔。今世现有王法牢狱，随罪趣向受其殃罚。因其前世不信道德、不修善本，今复为恶，天神克识 现代汉语译本：这是一种巨大的罪恶、痛苦和煎熬，勤劳辛苦就是这样。 佛陀说：‘譬如大火焚烧人的身体，如果人能在其中一心控制自己的意念，端正自己的行为，独自做各种善事，不做任何恶事，那么这个人就能独自解脱，获得福德，从而度过世俗，升入天界，达到涅槃的境界，这是一种巨大的善事。’ 佛陀说：‘第二种恶是，世间的人民——父子、兄弟、家人、夫妻——都缺乏道义，不遵守法度。他们奢侈淫逸，骄横放纵，各自想要满足自己的欲望，任凭自己的心意，互相欺骗。他们心口不一，言语虚假，谄媚不忠，花言巧语，嫉妒贤能，诽谤善良，陷入冤屈。君主不明智，任用臣下，臣下则自由自在，奸诈多端，揣测君主的意图，了解其动向。在位的君主不正，被臣下欺骗，无端损害忠良，不符合天意。臣子欺骗君主，儿子欺骗父亲，兄弟、夫妻、内外亲友互相欺骗，各自怀有贪欲、嗔恨、愚痴，想要使自己富足，想要贪图更多，无论尊卑上下，心思都一样。他们败坏家业，丧失性命，不顾前后，亲属内外因此而灭族。有时，家人、亲友、乡邻、市井、愚民、野人互相勾结，互相残害，愤怒结成仇怨。富有的人吝啬，不肯施舍，爱惜财物，贪心沉重，身心劳苦，这样到最后也没有什么可以依靠，独自来去，没有一个跟随的人。善恶、祸福追随生命而生，有时在快乐的地方，有时进入痛苦的境地，然后才后悔，那时又有什么用呢？世间的人民心智愚昧，缺少智慧，看到善事就憎恨诽谤，不思慕效仿，只想作恶，胡作非为，常常怀有盗窃之心，希望得到别人的利益，消耗殆尽后又去索取。他们心术不正，害怕别人有才能，不事先考虑，事情发生后才后悔。现在世间有王法和监狱，根据罪行判处相应的惩罚。因为他们前世不相信道德，不修善本，今生又作恶，天神都记录在案。’

English version: This is a great evil, a pain, and a burning, such is the diligence and suffering. The Buddha said, 'It is like a great fire burning a person's body. If a person can, in the midst of it, single-mindedly control their thoughts, correct their behavior, do only good deeds, and not do any evil, then that person can be liberated alone, obtain merit, and thus transcend the world, ascend to the heavens, and attain the state of Nirvana. This is a great good.' The Buddha said, 'The second evil is that the people of the world—fathers and sons, brothers, families, husbands and wives—all lack righteousness and do not follow the law. They are extravagant and indulgent, each wanting to satisfy their own desires, indulging their own minds, and deceiving each other. Their hearts and mouths are different, their words are false, they are flattering and disloyal, using cunning and flattery, jealous of the virtuous, slandering the good, and falling into injustice. The ruler is not wise in employing his ministers, and the ministers are free and deceitful, speculating on the ruler's intentions and understanding his movements. The ruler in power is not righteous and is deceived by his ministers, unjustly harming the loyal and good, not in accordance with the will of heaven. Ministers deceive their rulers, sons deceive their fathers, brothers, husbands and wives, and relatives both inside and outside the family deceive each other, each harboring greed, hatred, and ignorance, wanting to enrich themselves, wanting to greedily acquire more, whether high or low, their minds are the same. They ruin their families and lose their lives, disregarding the consequences, and their relatives both inside and outside the family are exterminated because of it. Sometimes, family members, relatives, neighbors, townsfolk, the ignorant, and the common people collude with each other, harming each other, and anger turns into resentment. The wealthy are stingy and unwilling to give, cherishing their possessions, their greed is heavy, their bodies and minds are weary, and in the end, they have nothing to rely on, coming and going alone, with no one to follow. Good and evil, fortune and misfortune, follow life, sometimes in a place of happiness, sometimes entering a place of suffering, and then they regret it, but what use is it then? The people of the world are foolish and lack wisdom, they hate and slander good deeds, they do not think of emulating them, they only want to do evil, acting recklessly and illegally, always harboring a thieving heart, hoping to gain the benefits of others, and after exhausting them, they seek them again. Their minds are evil and not righteous, they fear that others have talent, they do not plan ahead, and they regret it after things happen. Now in the world, there are laws and prisons, and they are punished according to their crimes. Because in their previous lives they did not believe in morality and did not cultivate good roots, and in this life they do evil again, the gods record it all.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

别其名籍，寿终神逝下入恶道，故有自然三涂无量苦恼。展转其中，世世累劫无有出期，难得解脱痛不可言，是为二大恶、二痛、二烧，勤苦如是。 “譬如大火焚烧人身，人能于中一心制意、端身正行，独作诸善、不为众恶者，身独度脱，获其福德度世上天泥洹之道，是为二大善也。” 佛言：“其三恶者，世间人民相因寄生，共居天地之间，处年寿命无能几何。上有贤明长者、尊贵豪富，下有贫穷㒋贱、尪劣愚夫，中有不善之人常怀邪恶，但念淫妷，烦满胸中，爱欲交乱坐起不安，贪意守惜但欲唐得。眄睐细色邪态外逸，自妻厌憎私妄出入，费损家财事为非法，交结聚会兴师相伐，攻劫杀戮强夺不道。恶心在外不自修业，盗窃趣得欲击成事，恐势迫胁归给妻子，恣心快意极身作乐。或于亲属不避尊卑，家室中外患而苦之，亦复不畏王法禁令。如是之恶著于人鬼，日月照见、神明记识，故有自然三涂无量苦恼。展转其中，世世累劫无有出期，难得解脱痛不可言，是为三大恶、三痛、三烧，勤苦如是。 “譬如大火焚烧人身，人能于中一心制意、端身正行，独作诸善、不为众恶者，身独度脱，获其福德度世上天泥洹之道，是为三大善也。” 佛言：“其四恶者，世间人民不念修善，转相教令 现代汉语译本：他们不辨别自己的姓名和籍贯，寿命终结，神识消散后堕入恶道，因此自然而然地承受三恶道中无量的痛苦和烦恼。他们在其中辗转轮回，世世代代，经历无数劫难，没有脱离苦海的期限，难以解脱，痛苦难以言说。这就是所谓的两大恶、两大痛、两大煎熬，其苦难就是如此。 佛陀说：‘譬如大火焚烧人的身体，如果有人能在其中一心控制自己的意念，端正自己的行为，只做善事，不做恶事，那么他就能独自解脱，获得福德，从而度过世俗，升入天界，最终达到涅槃（Nirvana）的境界。这就是所谓的两大善。’ 佛陀说：‘这第三种恶，是世间的人们相互依赖而生存，共同居住在天地之间，他们的寿命长短无法确定。上面有贤明长者、尊贵富豪，下面有贫穷卑贱、体弱愚笨的人，中间有不善良的人常常怀有邪恶的念头，只想着淫欲，心中充满烦恼，爱欲交织，坐立不安，贪婪吝啬，只想不劳而获。他们贪恋美色，邪念外露，厌恶自己的妻子，私下里胡作非为，耗费家财，行为不合法度，结党营私，兴兵作乱，攻城掠地，杀人越货，强取豪夺。他们恶念在外，不修自身，偷盗抢劫，想方设法达到目的，担心权势逼迫，就将所得归给妻子，放纵自己的欲望，极尽享乐。他们甚至对亲属也不避尊卑，使家庭内外都充满忧患和痛苦，也不畏惧王法的禁令。这样的恶行附着在人和鬼身上，日月照见，神明记录，因此自然而然地承受三恶道中无量的痛苦和烦恼。他们在其中辗转轮回，世世代代，经历无数劫难，没有脱离苦海的期限，难以解脱，痛苦难以言说。这就是所谓的三大恶、三大痛、三大煎熬，其苦难就是如此。’ ‘譬如大火焚烧人的身体，如果有人能在其中一心控制自己的意念，端正自己的行为，只做善事，不做恶事，那么他就能独自解脱，获得福德，从而度过世俗，升入天界，最终达到涅槃（Nirvana）的境界。这就是所谓的三大善。’ 佛陀说：‘这第四种恶，是世间的人们不思修行善事，反而互相教唆作恶。

English version: They do not distinguish their names and origins. When their lives end and their spirits depart, they fall into evil paths. Therefore, they naturally endure immeasurable suffering and distress in the three evil realms. They revolve within them, lifetime after lifetime, through countless kalpas (aeons), with no end to their suffering, and it is difficult to attain liberation. Their pain is indescribable. These are the so-called two great evils, two great pains, and two great burnings, and their suffering is such. The Buddha said, 'It is like a great fire burning a person's body. If a person can, within it, single-mindedly control their thoughts, rectify their actions, do only good deeds, and not do evil deeds, then they can liberate themselves alone, obtain merit, and thus transcend the world, ascend to the heavens, and ultimately reach the state of Nirvana. These are the so-called two great goods.' The Buddha said, 'The third evil is that people in the world depend on each other for survival, living together between heaven and earth. The length of their lives is uncertain. Above are the wise elders, the noble and wealthy, and below are the poor and lowly, the weak and foolish. In between are the unkind people who often harbor evil thoughts, thinking only of lust, their hearts filled with vexation, their desires intertwined, restless whether sitting or standing, greedy and stingy, wanting only to gain without effort. They are greedy for beauty, their evil thoughts are exposed, they despise their own wives, secretly engage in illicit affairs, waste their family wealth, and act illegally. They form cliques, incite rebellions, attack cities, plunder, kill, and rob. Their evil thoughts are directed outward, they do not cultivate themselves, they steal and rob, trying to achieve their goals by any means. Fearing the pressure of power, they give what they have gained to their wives, indulging their desires and seeking pleasure to the extreme. They do not even respect their relatives, causing trouble and suffering both inside and outside the family, and they do not fear the prohibitions of the law. Such evil deeds attach to both humans and ghosts, seen by the sun and moon, and recorded by the gods. Therefore, they naturally endure immeasurable suffering and distress in the three evil realms. They revolve within them, lifetime after lifetime, through countless kalpas (aeons), with no end to their suffering, and it is difficult to attain liberation. Their pain is indescribable. These are the so-called three great evils, three great pains, and three great burnings, and their suffering is such.' 'It is like a great fire burning a person's body. If a person can, within it, single-mindedly control their thoughts, rectify their actions, do only good deeds, and not do evil deeds, then they can liberate themselves alone, obtain merit, and thus transcend the world, ascend to the heavens, and ultimately reach the state of Nirvana. These are the so-called three great goods.' The Buddha said, 'The fourth evil is that people in the world do not think of cultivating good deeds, but instead teach each other to do evil.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

共为众恶。两舌、恶口、妄言、绮语、谗贼、斗乱，憎嫉善人、败坏贤明，于傍快喜。不孝二亲、轻慢师长，朋友无信，难得诚实。尊贵自大谓己有道，横行威势侵易于人，不能自知，为恶无耻，自以强健欲人敬难，不畏天地、神明、日月，不肯作善，难可降化。自用偃蹇谓可常尔，无所忧惧，常怀憍慢。如是众恶，天神记识，赖其前世颇作福德，小善扶接营护助之；今世为恶福德尽灭，诸善神鬼各去离之，身独空立无所复依。寿命终尽诸恶所归，自然迫促共趣夺之。又其名籍记在神明，殃咎牵引当往趣向，罪报自然无从舍离。但得前行入于火镬，身心摧碎、精神痛苦，当斯之时悔复何及？天道自然，不得蹉跌，故有自然三涂无量苦恼。展转其中，世世累劫无有出期，难得解脱痛不可言，是为四大恶、四痛、四烧，勤苦如是。 “譬如大火焚烧人身，人能于中一心制意、端身正行，独作诸善、不为众恶，身独度脱，获其福德度世上天泥洹之道，是为四大善也。” 佛言：“其五恶者，世间人民徙倚懈惰，不肯作善、治身修业，家室眷属饥寒困苦。父母教诲瞋目怒应，言令不和违戾反逆譬如怨家，不如无子。取与无节，众共患厌，负恩违义，无有报偿之心。贫穷困乏不能复得，辜较纵夺放恣游散，串数唐得 现代汉语译本 共同造作各种恶行。挑拨离间、恶语伤人、说谎、花言巧语、诬陷、制造争端，憎恨嫉妒善良的人，破坏贤能之士，在一旁幸灾乐祸。不孝顺父母，轻视怠慢师长，对朋友不讲信用，难以找到诚实的人。自以为尊贵了不起，认为自己有道，横行霸道，欺凌他人，不能自知，作恶多端，自恃强壮，想要别人敬畏自己，不畏惧天地、神明、日月，不肯行善，难以教化。刚愎自用，认为自己可以永远如此，没有忧虑和恐惧，常常怀有骄傲自满之心。像这样的种种恶行，天神都会记录下来，依赖于他们前世所做的一些福德，一些小的善行扶持帮助他们；今生作恶，福德全部消灭，各种善神鬼怪都离他们而去，身体孤零零地站立，无所依靠。寿命终结，各种恶报都来临，自然而然地被逼迫着，一起争夺他们。而且他们的名字已经记录在神明那里，灾祸罪责牵引着他们，将要前往受报，罪报自然无法逃脱。只能向前走入火锅地狱，身心摧残破碎、精神痛苦，到了这个时候后悔又有什么用呢？天道自然，不会有差错，所以有自然的三恶道无量的苦恼。在其中辗转，世世代代，经历无数劫难，没有出头之日，难以解脱，痛苦难以言说，这就是四大恶、四种痛苦、四种烧灼，勤苦就是这样。 ‘譬如大火焚烧人的身体，人如果能在其中一心控制自己的意念，端正自己的行为，独自做各种善事，不做各种恶事，身体就能独自解脱，获得福德，度过世俗，到达涅槃（Nirvana）的境界，这就是四大善。’ 佛说：‘这五种恶行是，世间的人民游手好闲，懈怠懒惰，不肯行善，修身养性，导致家庭眷属饥寒困苦。父母教诲时，就瞪眼怒视，言语不和，违背反抗，就像仇人一样，还不如没有子女。索取给予没有节制，大家共同厌恶，辜负恩情，违背道义，没有报答的心。贫穷困乏，不能再得到，就争夺抢掠，放纵游荡，串通起来，不劳而获。
