佛言:“其一恶者,诸天、人民、下至禽兽、蜎飞蠕动之类欲为众恶。   “强者伏弱,转相克贼,自相杀伤,更相食啖,不知为善,恶逆不道,受其殃罚,道之自然,当往趣向。神明记识,犯之不贳,转相承续,故有贫穷、下贱、乞丐、孤独人,有聋、盲、喑哑、愚痴、弊恶,下有尪狂不及逮之属。其有尊贵、豪富、高才明达、智慧勇猛,皆其前世宿命,为善慈孝,布恩施德。故有官事、王法、牢狱,不肯畏慎作恶入法,受其过谪重罚致剧,求望解脱难得度出。今世有是目前现在,寿终尤剧,入其窈冥,受身更生,譬若王法剧苦极刑。故有自然泥犁、禽兽、薜荔、蜎飞蠕动之类属贸身形,改恶易道,寿命短长,魂神命精,自然入趣。受形寄胎当独值向,相从共生,转相报偿,当相还复。殃恶谪罚,众事未尽终不得离。展转其中,世世累劫无有出期,难得解脱,痛不可言。天地之间自然有是,虽不临时卒暴至,应时恒取自然之道,皆当善恶归之,是为一大恶、为一痛、为一烧。   “勤苦如是,愁毒呼嗟,比如剧火起烧人身。人能自于其中一心制意、端身正行、独作诸善、不为众恶者,身独度脱,得其福德,可得长寿度世上天泥洹之道,是为一大善。”   佛言:“其二恶者,世间帝王、长吏 现代汉语译本 佛说:‘第一种恶行是,诸天、人类,乃至禽兽、昆虫等一切生物都想作恶。 ‘强者欺压弱者,互相残害,自相杀伤,互相吞食,不知道行善,作恶违背天道,遭受灾祸惩罚,这是自然规律,必然会走向这个结果。神明会记录这些,犯错不会被饶恕,恶行会不断延续,所以有贫穷、残疾、乞丐、孤独的人,有耳聋、眼盲、失语、愚痴、邪恶的人,还有身体残疾、精神失常等各种不幸的人。那些尊贵、富有、才华横溢、聪明睿智、勇敢果断的人,都是因为前世的善行、慈爱孝顺、布施恩德。所以有官司、王法、牢狱,不肯敬畏谨慎,作恶触犯法律,遭受惩罚,难以解脱。今生有这些现世报应,死后更加痛苦,进入幽冥地狱,再次投胎转世,就像王法中的酷刑一样。所以有自然的地狱、禽兽、饿鬼、昆虫等各种生命形态,不断更换身体,改变恶行,走上正道,寿命有长有短,灵魂精神自然会进入相应的轮回。受胎时独自承受,出生后与他人共同生活,互相报应,偿还前债。灾祸惩罚,各种事情没有结束,终究无法脱离。在其中辗转轮回,世世代代,永无出期,难以解脱,痛苦不堪。天地之间自然存在这些规律,虽然不会立刻突然降临,但会随时按照自然规律发生,善恶终有报应,这就是一大恶、一大痛苦、一大煎熬。 ‘痛苦如此,愁苦哀叹,就像大火焚烧身体一样。如果有人能够一心控制自己的意念,端正自己的行为,独自行善,不做恶事,那么他就能独自解脱,获得福德,可以长寿,度过尘世,到达涅槃的境界,这就是一大善。’ 佛说:‘第二种恶行是,世间的帝王、长官’

English version The Buddha said: 'The first evil is that all beings, including gods, humans, and even birds, beasts, and insects, desire to commit evil. 'The strong oppress the weak, they harm each other, kill each other, and devour each other. They do not know how to do good, they act wickedly against the natural order, and they suffer the consequences. This is the natural law, and they will inevitably go towards this result. The gods record these actions, and those who commit wrongdoings will not be forgiven. Evil deeds continue to be passed down, which is why there are the poor, the disabled, beggars, and lonely people. There are those who are deaf, blind, mute, foolish, and wicked, as well as those who are physically disabled and mentally disturbed. Those who are noble, wealthy, talented, intelligent, and courageous are so because of their good deeds, kindness, filial piety, and acts of charity in their previous lives. Therefore, there are lawsuits, royal laws, and prisons. Those who do not fear and are not cautious, who commit evil and break the law, will suffer punishment and find it difficult to escape. In this life, there are these present retributions, and after death, the suffering is even greater. They enter the dark underworld and are reborn, like the extreme punishments of royal law. Therefore, there are natural hells, beasts, hungry ghosts, and insects, all of which constantly change their forms. They must change their evil ways and walk the right path. Lifespans vary, and the soul and spirit naturally enter the corresponding cycle of rebirth. When conceived, one suffers alone, and after birth, one lives with others, repaying each other. The calamities and punishments will not end until all debts are repaid. They revolve within this cycle, generation after generation, with no end in sight, difficult to escape, and the pain is indescribable. These natural laws exist between heaven and earth. Although they do not come suddenly, they occur according to the natural order. Good and evil will ultimately be repaid. This is a great evil, a great pain, and a great burning. 'The suffering is such that they are filled with sorrow and lamentation, like a great fire burning the body. If a person can control their mind with one heart, correct their behavior, do good alone, and not commit evil, then they can be liberated alone, obtain blessings, and achieve longevity, pass through the world, and reach the state of Nirvana. This is a great good.' The Buddha said: 'The second evil is that the emperors and officials of the world' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The people, fathers and sons, brothers, families, and husbands and wives have almost no sense of righteousness or reason, and do not follow the government's decrees. They become licentious, extravagant, proud, and arrogant, each wanting to satisfy their own desires, indulging their own minds, deceiving and teasing each other, and not fearing death at all. They are inconsistent in their words and deeds, their words are false, they are flattering and disloyal, and they are obsequious and use clever words. Their behavior is not upright, they are jealous and hateful of each other, they slander and defame each other, and they fall into evil and injustice. The ruler is not wise, does not examine his heart, and appoints his subordinates, who then exist. They act superficially, only knowing how to look at the situation, and although they are in high positions, they are not upright and are manipulated by others. They recklessly abandon the loyal and good, do not follow the will of heaven, and greatly violate reason. Subordinates deceive their rulers, sons deceive their fathers, younger brothers deceive their older brothers, and wives deceive their husbands. People inside and outside the family collude with each other, each harboring greed and lust, their hearts filled with resentment and anger, ignorant and foolish, greedy, and their desires increase. There are distinctions between the noble and the lowly, the superior and the inferior, but there is no distinction between men and women, the old and the young, and their hearts are all the same, wanting to enrich themselves. They ruin their families and lose themselves, disregarding the consequences, causing their entire families to be destroyed. Sometimes, the foolish people inside and outside the family, friends, and neighbors work together, calculating each other's interests. They fight for money and become enemies in anger; in order to compete for victory, the stingy rich people are anxious; they are unwilling to give, but only guard and cherish. They are greedy for treasures, thinking about them, their hearts are tired, and their bodies are exhausted. In the end, they have nothing to rely on, they come alone and go alone, and no one follows them. Good and evil, fortune and misfortune, disasters and punishments, follow life, sometimes in a place of happiness, sometimes entering into suffering, and then they regret it, but what is the use then? Sometimes, the people of the world are foolish and ignorant, and when they see good, they slander and hate it, and are unwilling to imitate it. They only want to do evil, act recklessly; they only want to steal, and they always harbor evil intentions; they want to obtain other people's property, use it for their own enjoyment, and when it is exhausted, they seek it again; their evil hearts are not upright, they are often afraid alone, afraid of being discovered by others, they do not consider the consequences at the time, and they regret it after things happen. In this life, officials and prisons naturally go there, and they suffer their disasters. The poor, beggars, and lonely people in the world, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

但坐前世宿命,不信道德、不肯为善。今世为恶,天神别籍,寿终入恶道,故有自然泥犁、禽兽、薜荔、蜎飞蠕动之类。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,比如火起烧人身。人能自于其中一心制意、端身正行、独作众善、不为众恶者,身独度脱,得其福德,可得长寿度世上天泥洹之道,是为二大善。”   佛言:“其三恶者,世间人民寄生相因,共依居天地之间,处年寿命无能几岁。至有豪贵者、贤明善人;下有贫贱、尪羸愚者;中有不良之人,但怀念毒恶,身心不正,常念淫泆,烦满胸中;爱欲交错,坐起不安;贪意悭惜,但欲唐得;眄睐细色,恶态淫泆。有妇厌憎,私妄出入,持家所有,相结为非,聚会饮食,自共作恶。兴兵作贼,攻城格斗,劫杀截断,强夺不道,取人财物。偷窃趣得,不肯治生;所当求者,不肯为之;恶心在外,不能专作;欲击成事,恐势迫胁,持归给家。共相生活,恣心快意,极身作乐,行乱他人妇女。或于其亲属,不避尊卑、长老,众共憎恶,家室中外,患而苦之。亦复不畏县官、法令无所避,录如是之恶,自然牢狱,日月照识、神明记取、诸神摄录。   “故有自然泥犁、禽兽、薜荔、蜎飞蠕动之类,展转 现代汉语译本 只是因为前世的宿命,不相信道德,不肯行善。今生作恶,天神会将其记录在案,寿命终结后堕入恶道,所以有自然的泥犁(地狱)、禽兽、薜荔(一种蔓生植物,比喻恶劣的生存环境)、蜎飞蠕动(指微小的生物)等。在其中辗转轮回,世世代代,永无出期,难以解脱,痛苦不堪,这就是两大恶、两大痛、两大煎熬。 勤勉苦行是这样的,比如火烧人身。人如果能从中一心控制自己的意念,端正自己的行为,独自行善,不做恶事,就能独自解脱,获得福德,可以长寿,度过世俗,到达涅槃(佛教的最高境界)的道路,这就是两大善。 佛说:‘第三种恶是,世间人民相互依存,共同居住在天地之间,寿命不过短短几十年。其中有豪门贵族、贤明善人;下有贫贱、体弱愚笨的人;中间有不良之人,心中充满恶毒,身心不正,常常想着淫乱放荡,心中烦闷;爱欲交织,坐立不安;贪婪吝啬,只想不劳而获;贪恋美色,行为淫荡。有了妻子还厌恶,私下里胡作非为,把家里的东西拿去结交坏人,聚会吃喝,一起作恶。兴兵作乱,攻城掠地,抢劫杀人,强取豪夺,偷窃财物,不肯努力谋生;应该做的正事,不肯去做;恶念在外,不能专心做事;想要成就坏事,又怕势力胁迫,就把抢来的东西拿回家。一起生活,放纵欲望,尽情享乐,奸污别人的妇女。甚至对自己的亲属,也不避讳长幼尊卑,大家都很憎恨,家里家外都为此感到痛苦。也不畏惧官府、法令,无所顾忌,记录下这些恶行,自然会堕入牢狱,日月照耀,神明记录,诸神摄录。 所以有自然的泥犁(地狱)、禽兽、薜荔(一种蔓生植物,比喻恶劣的生存环境)、蜎飞蠕动(指微小的生物)等,在其中辗转轮回。
