English version The Sutra on the Brief Explanation of the Retribution of Karma Composed by Bodhisattva Dayong Translated by Tripiṭaka Saṃghavarman of Tianzhu (India) during the Song Dynasty The most supreme and unsurpassed Honored One, whose knowledge and vision are complete and perfect, Therefore, I bow my head and pay homage to you, as well as to the Dharma and the Arhat Sangha. I am now composing a teaching on abiding, explaining with complete knowledge and vision, The arising of the five realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, humans, gods) is due to pure and impure karma. Universally for all beings in the world, revealing the meaning of the sutras, According to my wisdom and ability, I will distinguish the retribution of karma. The Buddha awakened through his own power, and all the gods came to invite him, So he went to Bārāṇasī (ancient Indian city where Shakyamuni first turned the wheel of Dharma), proclaiming the meaning of the true Dharma. Namely suffering and the cause of suffering, the accumulation of suffering and the ultimate cessation of suffering, The Noble Eightfold Path (right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration) is complete and perfect, it is the pure path to end suffering. The unsurpassed Honored One among humans, spoke of the karma and retribution of suffering, From this, they arise in turn, producing afflictions and various karmas. Various different forms of afflictions, countless kinds of karmic actions, I will briefly distinguish them in order, following what the Great Sage (Buddha) said. What is revealed in the sutras does not contradict the true nature of all dharmas, It is the true and definitive meaning, the wise should accept and uphold it. It is not created by Īśvara (Hindu deity), retribution is not without cause, Nor does it arise from self-nature, nor does it arise from time. Īśvara has no cause, self-nature and time, Because the results have superiority and inferiority, it should be known that these are not the cause. Ignorance gives rise to afflictions, and from afflictions arise various karmas, Because of karma, many destinies are opened up, now I will explain the differences between them. Creating various unwholesome karmas, entering the evil paths according to karmic force, Those sinful beings, Yama (Lord of Hell) compassionately tells them: The suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death, being confined by the laws of the king, You have seen those angels (messengers indicating death and suffering), why do you not give rise to supreme awakening! Giving, upholding pure precepts, can tame the body and mind.

身口意， 汝为何所求， 而不发上愿！ 不幸遇恶友， 唯闻非法事， 增我贪恚痴， 何由起净业？ 汝曾不修善， 但作诸恶行， 不觉罪报至， 今来入地狱。 尔时诸狱卒， 即执罪众生， 驱向地狱门， 恐怖身毛竖。 等活若黑绳， 众合二叫呼， 无择大地狱， 烧热及大热， 土海及粪池， 锋利剑叶林， 刀道剑枝树， 灰河铁镬狱， 造诸恶业者， 生此泥黎中。 今当说彼业， 苦报差别相。 等活死复生， 经历亿千劫， 今闻结怨憎， 互相伤害故。 陷人以非道， 两舌离亲友， 谗谤及妄语， 死堕黑绳狱。 屠捕及余杀， 死入众合狱， 诸山所磨切， 身碎血髓流。 为政无慈恻， 峻法多因缘， 广设诸方便， 种种加楚毒， 亦入众合狱， 随业受苦报。 轮转崩山芒， 铁石所磨捣， 随贪恚痴怖， 听讼违抂直， 亦入众合狱， 铁轮断其身。 自恃强力势， 险暴陵孤弱， 亦入众合狱， 黑象竞来践。 逼迫多人众， 令彼大呼泣， 死堕叫呼狱， 举身常洞燃。 斗秤欺诳人， 心恶而口善， 言行无诚实， 入大叫呼狱。 现代汉语译本 身口意啊，你们为何如此追求，却不发下至上的誓愿！ 不幸的是，你们遇到了恶友，只听闻那些不符合正法的事情， 增长了我的贪婪、嗔恨和愚痴，又怎么能发起清净的善业呢？ 你们从不修习善行，只做各种恶事， 不觉得罪恶的报应将至，现在要堕入地狱。 这时，那些狱卒，就抓住犯罪的众生， 驱赶向地狱之门，恐怖得让人汗毛倒竖。 等活地狱、黑绳地狱，众合地狱、二叫呼地狱， 无择大地狱、烧热地狱和大热地狱， 土海地狱和粪池地狱，锋利的剑叶林地狱， 刀道地狱、剑枝树地狱，灰河地狱、铁镬地狱， 造作各种恶业的人，就会生于这些泥犁（Nili）之中。 现在我将要说这些恶业，以及苦报的差别相。 在等活地狱中死去又复生，经历亿千劫， 现在听闻是因为结下怨恨，互相伤害的缘故。 用不正当的手段陷害他人，用两舌离间亲友， 诽谤和说谎，死后会堕入黑绳地狱。 屠夫、猎人和其余杀生的人，死后会进入众合地狱， 被群山磨碎，身体破碎，血髓流淌。 为政者没有慈悲之心，使用严峻的法律， 广泛设置各种手段，用种种方法加以残酷的刑罚， 也会进入众合地狱，随着所造的业力承受痛苦的果报。 在崩塌的山崖边轮转，被铁石磨碎捣烂， 随着贪婪、嗔恨、愚痴的驱使，听讼时违背正义，歪曲事实， 也会进入众合地狱，被铁轮斩断身体。 仗恃自己强大有势力，凶险暴虐，欺凌孤儿寡母和弱小者， 也会进入众合地狱，被黑象争相践踏。 逼迫众多的人，让他们大声哭泣， 死后堕入叫呼地狱，全身经常燃烧。 用斗和秤欺骗人，心怀恶意却口吐善言， 言语和行为没有诚实，会进入大叫呼地狱。

English version Body, speech, and mind, Why do you seek such things, without making the supreme vow! Unfortunately, you encountered evil friends, Hearing only of things contrary to the Dharma, Increasing my greed, hatred, and delusion, How can I then initiate pure karma? You never cultivate goodness, But only commit various evil deeds, Unaware that the retribution of sin is approaching, Now you are about to enter hell. At that time, the hell-wardens, Immediately seize the sinful beings, Driving them towards the gates of hell, Terror causing the hair on their bodies to stand on end. Sañjīva (等活 - Rebirth hell), Kālasūtra (黑绳 - Black Rope hell), Saṃghāta (众合 - Crushing hell), Raurava (叫呼 - Screaming hell), Avīci (无择 - Non-intermittent hell), Tapana (烧热 - Burning hell) and Pratāpana (大热 - Great Burning hell), Kukūla (土海 - Ash Pit hell) and Vaitaraṇī (粪池 - Excrement Pit hell), the forest of sharp sword-leaves, The path of knives, the trees with sword-branches, the river of ashes, the iron cauldron hell, Those who commit various evil deeds, Are born in these Nili (泥犁 - hells). Now I shall speak of these karmas, And the different aspects of their painful retributions. In Sañjīva (等活 - Rebirth hell), dying and being reborn, experiencing billions of kalpas (劫 - eons), Now it is heard that it is because of forming grudges and harming each other. Trapping others with improper means, using divisive speech to separate relatives and friends, Slandering and lying, after death, one falls into Kālasūtra (黑绳 - Black Rope hell). Butchers, hunters, and others who kill, after death, enter Saṃghāta (众合 - Crushing hell), Crushed by mountains, their bodies shattered, blood and marrow flowing. Rulers without compassion, using harsh laws, Widely establishing various means, applying cruel punishments in various ways, Also enter Saṃghāta (众合 - Crushing hell), enduring painful retribution according to their karma. Revolving on collapsing mountain cliffs, ground and pounded by iron and stone, Driven by greed, hatred, and delusion, perverting justice in hearings, distorting the truth, Also enter Saṃghāta (众合 - Crushing hell), their bodies severed by iron wheels. Relying on their own strength and power, dangerous and violent, oppressing the orphaned and weak, Also enter Saṃghāta (众合 - Crushing hell), trampled by black elephants competing to trample them. Pressuring many people, causing them to cry out loudly, After death, they fall into Raurava (叫呼 - Screaming hell), their entire bodies constantly burning. Deceiving people with scales and measures, having evil intentions but speaking kind words, Words and actions without sincerity, they enter Mahāraurava (大叫呼 - Great Screaming hell).

English version ‘Oh, the Great Shrieking Hell (Mahāraurava)!’ Those who see it have their body hair stand on end. Within it, they endure extreme suffering, for borrowing and not returning. Saying what is not Dharma (Buddhist teachings) is Dharma, and saying what is Dharma is not Dharma, Holding wrong views, not believing in cause and effect, arrogantly slandering the virtuous and holy, Such people, upon death, enter the Avīci hell (Avīci hell). Offending parents, virtuous people, Śrāmaṇas (Śrāmaṇa, wandering ascetics) and Brāhmaṇas (Brāhmaṇa, priests), Causing them sorrow and distress, upon death, they enter the Hot Hell. To parents, virtuous people, Śrāmaṇas, and Brāhmaṇas, Maliciously inflicting suffering, upon death, they enter the Great Hot Hell. Leaving home to cultivate pure conduct, violating the precepts and vows, Accusing and slandering each other, upon death, they enter the Hot Earth Hell. Transgressing prohibitions, abandoning right livelihood, engaging in deceitful and impure living, Upon death, they enter the Hot Feces Pool, with poisonous insects piercing their bone marrow. Hunting and burning forests and marshes, harming living beings on land, Upon death, they enter the Fire Sword Hell, burned, skinned, and limbs severed. Enticing and capturing various living beings, harming their lives with false kindness, Crows, eagles, and packs of hungry dogs, compete to eat their flesh. Destroying the bridge of the true Dharma, guiding people to unlawful conduct, Upon death, they pass through the path of sharp knives, feet cut off, muscles and bones severed. Long, hundred-footed worms, with the appearance of beautiful and dignified women, Entwine the body, sucking marrow and brains, due to their evil lust. For the bodies of other women, caressing and touching, deeply infatuated and attached, They are driven onto trees with sword branches, piercing their bodies back and forth. Using various means, killing various kinds of water insects, Upon death, they enter the Boiling Ash River, their entire bodies are decayed. Swallowing hot iron balls, molten copper poured into their mouths, Iron nails hammered into their bodies, due to stealing the wealth of others. Increasingly engaging in the ten unwholesome actions, their consciousness departs and enters hell, Lesser offenses lead to rebirth as animals, and even lesser ones lead to rebirth as hungry ghosts. If full of anger and hatred, acting unwholesomely, always delighting in evil dharmas, Rejoicing in the suffering of others, upon death, they become the jailers of Yama (Yama, the lord of death). That is all that has been said.
