English version Bodhisattva's Reproach of ** Law Sutra Translated by Kumarajiva of the Later Qin Dynasty Womanly beauty is the world's shackle; ordinary people are attached to it and cannot extricate themselves. Womanly beauty is the world's grave affliction; ordinary people are troubled by it and cannot escape it until death. Womanly beauty is the world's declining disaster; ordinary people encounter it, and there is no calamity that will not befall them. Once a practitioner has abandoned it, if they then think of it again, it is like escaping from prison and then thinking of returning; recovering from madness and then enjoying it again; recovering from illness and then thinking of getting sick again. The wise despise it, knowing that it is madness that will cause them to stumble and fall, and death is not far off! Ordinary people value womanly beauty, willingly becoming its servants, rushing about busily all their lives, suffering for it. Even if they are chopped to pieces by axes, or pierced by a rain of arrows, they willingly endure it, not considering it a calamity. Madmen enjoy their madness, and this is not too much to expect. If a practitioner can abandon it without looking back, then they will break their shackles, escape their bonds, detest madness, abhor illness, and be free from the disaster of decline, finding peace and good fortune, escaping from prison, and never having trouble again. A woman's appearance, her words are as sweet as honey, but her heart is as poisonous as venom, like a still, deep pool that is clear as a mirror, but is inhabited by dragons (Naga); a golden mountain treasure cave, but is inhabited by lions. One should know that this harm cannot be approached. Disharmony in the family is due to women; ruining the clan and destroying the family fortune is the sin of women. It is truly a hidden thief, extinguishing people's wisdom and light; it is also like a hunter's trap, from which few can escape. It is like a high net, into which flocks of birds fall, unable to fly away; it is also like a dense net, into which many fish throw themselves, to be gutted and filleted; it is also like a dark pit, into which the blind throw themselves; like moths flying into a flame. Therefore, the wise know it and stay far away from it, not suffering its harm; they hate and despise it, not being deceived by this thing.
