English version: Suffering retribution, without end. In this life, there is no peace, and disasters are frequently encountered; after death, one falls into hell, departing from human form, and should fall into the animal realm, to be slaughtered by humans, experiencing the three evil paths (地狱、饿鬼、畜生 - Naraka, Preta, Tiryak) and the eight difficulties (八难 - eight unfavorable conditions for practicing Dharma), for countless eons, offering one's flesh to others, without end, causing the body to suffer, eating grass and drinking from springs. The animals that exist in the world today are all due to their actions in previous lives when they were humans, being violent and rebellious, without morality, secretly harming living beings, and not believing in cause and effect. Generation after generation, they become enemies, repaying each other, with the same consciousness but different forms, and the depth of their sins is like this.' Ananda (阿难，one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha) further said to the Buddha: 'What is the sin of worldly people and disciples who direct malice towards teachers and virtuous people?' The Buddha told Ananda (阿难): 'As a person, one should love and rejoice in the goodness of others, and not be jealous of it. If someone directs malice towards virtuous people or good teachers, it is no different from directing malice towards the Buddha. It is better to shoot oneself with a crossbow of ten thousand stones than to direct malice towards them.' The Buddha said: 'Ananda (阿难)! Does it hurt to shoot oneself?' Ananda (阿难) said: 'It hurts very much, very much! World-Honored One (世尊，Bhagavan, title for the Buddha)!' The Buddha said: 'When people direct malice towards virtuous people or good teachers, the pain is more severe than being shot by a strong crossbow. As disciples, one should not belittle or be disrespectful to one's teacher, nor direct malice towards virtuous people, but should regard them as the Buddha, and not be jealous or envious, but rejoice in their good deeds. If a person has precepts and virtue, they will move the heavens, and the Nagas (天龙，Naga, a type of deity), ghosts, and spirits will all respect and honor them. It is better to throw oneself into the fire or cut one's flesh with a sharp sword than to be jealous of the goodness of others. The sin is not small, be careful! Be careful!' Ananda (阿难) again said to the Buddha: 'As a teacher, is it permissible to scold and stop a disciple who does not follow reason? If a disciple has a small fault, can it be exaggerated into a large fault without incurring sin?' The Buddha said: 'It is not permissible! It is not permissible! The righteousness between teacher and disciple is a natural feeling of righteousness, and they should treat each other with sincerity, regarding the other as oneself; dismiss them with reason, teach them with the Way, and do not impose on others what one does not do oneself, promote and uphold etiquette and discipline, and not cause resentment and litigation; the disciple should also do the same. These two kinds of righteousness are both important.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

诚，师当如师，弟子当如弟子，勿相诽谤，含毒致怨，以小成大，还自烧身。为人弟子，当孝顺于善师，慎莫举恶意向师。恶意向师，是恶意向佛、向法、向比丘僧、向父母无异，天所不覆，地所不载。观末世人诸恶人辈，不忠、不孝，无有仁义，不顺人道。魔世比丘四数之中，但念他恶，不自止恶，嫉贤妒善，更相沮坏；不念行善，强梁嫉贤，既不能为，复毁败人，断绝道意，令不得行。贪欲务俗，多求利业，积财自丧，厚财贱道，死堕恶趣大泥犁中、饿鬼、畜生。未当有此，于世何求念报佛恩？当持经戒，相率以道；道不可不学，经不可不读，善不可不行。行善布德，济神离苦，超出生死，见贤勿慢，见善勿谤，不以小过证入大罪。违法失理，其罪莫大，罪福有证，可不慎耶！” 阿难复白佛言：“末世弟子，因缘相生，理家之事，身口之累，当云何？天中天！” 佛言：“阿难！有受佛禁戒，诚信奉行，顺孝畏慎，敬归三尊，养亲尽忠，内外谨善，心口相应，可得为世间事，不可得为世间意。” 阿难言：“世间事，世间意，云何耶？天中天！” 佛言：“为佛弟子，可得商贩营生利业，平斗直尺，不可罔于人，施行以理，不违神明自然之理。葬送之事，移徙、姻娶，是为世间事也。 现代汉语译本： 要做到为师者像为师者的样子，为弟子者像为弟子的样子，不要互相诽谤，心怀怨恨，以小过失酿成大祸，最终烧毁自己。作为弟子，应当孝顺善良的老师，千万不要对老师怀有恶意。对老师怀有恶意，就如同对佛（Buddha，觉悟者）、对法（Dharma，佛法）、对比丘僧（Bhikshu Sangha，佛教僧团）、对父母怀有恶意一样，为天所不容，地所不载。观察末世之人，那些作恶之辈，不忠、不孝，没有仁义，不顺应人道。末法时代的比丘四众弟子中，只想着别人的恶处，不停止自己的恶行，嫉妒贤能，互相破坏；不想着行善，强横凶暴，嫉妒贤能，自己不能做到，又毁坏别人，断绝别人的修道之心，使人不能修行。贪图欲望，追求世俗，多方寻求利益，积累财富反而丧身，看重财富而轻贱道义，死后堕入恶趣，即大地狱中、饿鬼、畜生道。还没有觉悟到这些，对于世间还能有什么希求，还能想到报答佛恩吗？应当秉持经书和戒律，互相带领走上正道；道不可不学，经不可不读，善不可不行。行善布施，救济神灵脱离痛苦，超越出生死轮回，见到贤能的人不要轻慢，见到善良的事不要诽谤，不要因为小的过失而被判处大罪。 阿难（Ananda，佛陀十大弟子之一）再次禀告佛陀说：‘末法时代的弟子，因为因缘和合而生，有料理家务的事情，有身口所带来的牵累，应当怎么办呢？世中尊！’ 佛陀说：‘阿难！有人接受佛陀的禁戒，诚实守信地奉行，孝顺父母，心怀敬畏谨慎，恭敬归依佛、法、僧三宝（Triratna），供养父母尽心尽力，内外言行谨慎善良，心口一致，这样的人可以做世间的事情，但不可以有世间的心意。’ 阿难说：‘什么是世间事，什么是世间意呢？世中尊！’ 佛陀说：‘作为佛弟子，可以做买卖经营等谋生行业，使用公平的斗和正直的尺子，不可以欺骗他人，施行要合乎道理，不违背神明和自然的规律。丧葬之事，搬迁、婚嫁，这些是世间事。’

English version: Truly, a teacher should act like a teacher, and a disciple should act like a disciple. Do not slander each other, harbor resentment, or let small matters escalate into great disasters, ultimately burning yourselves. As a disciple, one should be filial and obedient to a good teacher, and be extremely careful not to harbor malicious intentions towards the teacher. Having malicious intentions towards the teacher is no different from having malicious intentions towards the Buddha (Buddha, the Awakened One), the Dharma (Dharma, the teachings), the Bhikshu Sangha (Bhikshu Sangha, the monastic community), or one's parents. Such actions are unforgivable by Heaven and unbearable by Earth. Observe the people of the degenerate age, those who commit evil deeds, who are disloyal, unfilial, without benevolence or righteousness, and who do not follow the way of humanity. Among the fourfold assembly of Bhikshus in the Dharma-ending age, they only think of others' faults, do not stop their own evil deeds, are jealous of the virtuous, and undermine each other. They do not think of doing good, are violent and jealous of the virtuous. Unable to do good themselves, they destroy others, cutting off their aspiration for the Path, preventing them from practicing. They are greedy for desires, pursue worldly affairs, seek profit in many ways, accumulate wealth only to lose themselves, valuing wealth and despising the Path, and after death, they fall into evil realms, into the great hells, the realms of hungry ghosts, and animals. Not yet awakened to this, what can they seek in the world, and how can they think of repaying the Buddha's kindness? They should uphold the scriptures and precepts, and lead each other on the Path. The Path must be learned, the scriptures must be read, and good deeds must be done. Practice good deeds and spread virtue, save spirits from suffering, transcend birth and death, do not be arrogant when seeing the virtuous, do not slander the good, and do not condemn great sins based on small faults. Violating the law and losing reason is the greatest of sins. The evidence of sin and blessings is clear, how can one not be cautious!' Ananda (Ananda, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) again said to the Buddha: 'Disciples in the Dharma-ending age, born from the arising of conditions, have matters of managing the household, and are burdened by the body and speech. What should they do, World Honored One?' The Buddha said: 'Ananda! If someone receives the Buddha's precepts, faithfully practices them, is filial and obedient, reverent and cautious, respectfully takes refuge in the Three Jewels (Triratna), supports their parents with all their heart, is careful and virtuous in their inner and outer conduct, and whose mind and speech are in accord, such a person can engage in worldly affairs, but must not have worldly intentions.' Ananda said: 'What are worldly affairs, and what are worldly intentions, World Honored One?' The Buddha said: 'As a disciple of the Buddha, one can engage in business and other livelihood activities, using fair measures and honest scales, not deceiving others, acting with reason, and not violating the natural principles of the gods and nature. Matters of funerals, moving, and marriage, these are worldly affairs.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“世间意者，为佛弟子，不得卜问、请祟、符咒、厌怪、祠祀、解奏，亦不得择良日、良时。受佛五戒，福德人也，有所施作，当启三尊；佛之玄通，无细不知。戒德之人，道护为强，役使诸天、天龙、鬼神，无不敬伏。戒贵则尊，无往不吉，岂有忌讳不善者耶！ “道之含覆，包弘天地，不达之人，自作挂碍。善恶之事，由人心作，祸福由人，如影追形，响之应声。戒行之德，应之自然，诸天所护，愿不意违，感动十方，与天参德；功勋巍巍，众圣嗟叹，难可称量！智士达命，没身不邪，善如佛教，可得度世之道。” 阿难闻佛说，更整袈裟，头脑着地：“唯然，世尊！我等有福，得值如来，普恩慈大，愍念一切，为作福田，令得脱苦。佛言至真，而信者少，是世多恶，众生相诅，甚可痛哉！若有信者，若一若两，奈何世恶，乃弊如此！佛灭度后，经法虽存而无信者，渐衰灭矣！呜呼！痛哉！将何恃怙？惟愿世尊，为众黎故，未可取泥洹。” 阿难因而谏颂曰： “佛为三界护， 恩广普慈大， 愿为一切故， 未可取泥洹。 值法者亦少， 盲盲不别真， 痛矣不识者， 罪深乃如是！ 宿福值法者， 若一若有两， 经法稍稍替， 当复何恃怙！ 佛恩 现代汉语译本 ‘世间所认为的，作为佛的弟子，不应该占卜、请鬼神、使用符咒、祭祀鬼怪、进行祠祀、祈求解除灾祸，也不应该选择吉利的日子和时辰。受持佛的五戒，是具有福德的人，有所作为时，应当祈请三宝（佛、法、僧）；佛的玄妙神通，没有细微之处不知道。具有戒德的人，会得到强大的道力守护，役使诸天、天龙、鬼神，没有不敬畏顺服的。戒律尊贵，所到之处都吉祥，哪里会有禁忌和不善的事情呢！’ ‘道的包含覆盖，广大无边，不通达的人，自己给自己制造障碍。善恶的事情，由人的心念所作，祸福由人招致，就像影子追随形体，回声应和声音一样。戒行所产生的功德，是自然而然的，会得到诸天的护佑，愿望没有不实现的，感动十方世界，与天道相媲美；功勋巍峨，众圣都赞叹，难以衡量！有智慧的人通达命运，终身不走邪路，行善如佛教导，就可以得到度脱世间的道路。’ 阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一，以记忆力超群著称）听了佛的说法，更加整理袈裟，头面触地：‘是的，世尊！我们有福报，能够遇到如来（Tathagata，佛的称号之一），普遍施予恩惠，慈悲广大，怜悯一切众生，为我们开辟福田，使我们得以脱离苦难。佛所说的话真实不虚，但是相信的人很少，这个世间充满罪恶，众生互相诅咒，真是太可悲了！如果有人相信，哪怕只有一两个，可是世间的罪恶，竟然败坏到如此地步！佛灭度（Nirvana，佛教术语，指解脱生死轮回）后，经法虽然存在却没有信奉的人，将会逐渐衰败灭亡！呜呼！痛哉！我们将依靠什么呢？惟愿世尊，为了众生，不要这么快进入涅槃。’ 阿难因此进谏并歌颂道： ‘佛是三界（欲界、色界、无色界）的守护者，恩德广大，慈悲普施， 愿为了所有众生，不要这么快进入涅槃。 能够遇到佛法的人太少了，盲目无知不能分辨真假， 不认识佛法的人真是可悲啊，罪孽深重就是这样！ 前世有福报遇到佛法的人，或许只有一两个， 经法将会渐渐衰败，我们将来依靠什么呢！ 佛恩广大！’
