而堕饿鬼中， 腹大咽如针。 悭贪深厚者， 护财如眼睛， 贫病与佛僧， 不能施少分， 亦复不自用， 父母莫能得， 死堕饿鬼身， 浆饮永不遇。 若盗他财物， 施已心生悔， 亦堕饿鬼身， 常食于脓唾。 口出恶言语， 谤毁于贤善， 堕彼饿鬼中， 口生于火炬。 悭贪与诤讼， 恶意窥他财， 堕彼饿鬼中， 微获祭祀食， 或入聚落处， 见彼遗弃食， 呕吐涎唾等， 而恒为美馔。 自行悭障碍， 离间他行施， 为鬼恭槃荼， 恶形生脓血。 伤杀群生类， 自食与他食， 堕鬼罗刹娑， 爱食鬘香粖。 虽然施饮食， 少分怀瞋恚， 堕鬼健闼婆， 作乐诸天爱。 若爱于两舌， 斗乱行瞋恚， 堕鬼毕舍佐， 头面而丑恶。 虽爱行檀施， 而恒苦恼人， 堕彼恶趣中， 为彼母驮鬼。 自行猛利杀， 教他猛利杀， 堕彼药叉身， 亦复恶猛利。 父母师长等， 所欲多违背， 堕彼药叉宫， 勇健行暴恶。 悭贪瞋果报， 饿鬼药叉等， 苦乐随自因， 诸恶不须作。 饿鬼品颂竟。 天及修罗人， 福寿有差等， 乐求生天者， 现代汉语译本 堕入饿鬼道中，他们的肚子大得像山，咽喉却细得像针孔。 那些极度吝啬贪婪的人，守护自己的财产就像守护自己的眼睛一样， 对于贫穷的人、生病的人以及佛和僧侣，连少许的施舍都不肯付出， 自己也不舍得享用，甚至连父母都无法得到他们的资助， 这样的人死后就会堕入饿鬼道，永远无法得到浆水饮料。 如果盗取他人的财物，即使施舍了，心里又感到后悔， 也会堕入饿鬼道，经常以脓和唾液为食。 如果口出恶语，诽谤和诋毁贤良之人， 死后会堕入饿鬼道中，口中生出火焰。 因为吝啬贪婪和好争斗，心怀恶意窥视他人的财产， 死后会堕入饿鬼道中，只能勉强获得祭祀的食物， 或者进入村落，看到别人遗弃的食物， 如呕吐物、涎水、唾沫等，却把这些当作美味的食物。 自己吝啬，阻碍施舍，还离间他人行善布施， 死后会成为恭槃荼（Kumbhanda，一种恶鬼），外形丑陋，身上生满脓血。 如果伤害和杀害众生，无论是自己食用还是给他人食用， 死后会堕入罗刹娑（Rakshasa，一种恶鬼）道，喜欢吃花鬘、香料和粉末。 即使施舍饮食，但心中怀有少许的嗔恨， 死后会堕入健闼婆（Gandharva，一种天神）道，成为奏乐的天人，受诸天喜爱。 如果喜欢搬弄是非，挑拨离间，心怀嗔恨， 死后会堕入毕舍佐（Pisacha，一种恶鬼）道，头面丑陋。 虽然喜欢行布施，但总是给别人带来痛苦和烦恼， 死后会堕入恶趣之中，成为母驮（Mutada，一种恶鬼）鬼。 自己进行残忍的杀戮，或者教唆他人进行残忍的杀戮， 死后会堕入药叉（Yaksa，一种守护神）身，同样凶恶残暴。 对于父母、师长等人的愿望，经常违背， 死后会堕入药叉宫殿，勇猛强健，行为暴戾凶恶。 吝啬和嗔恨的果报，就是堕入饿鬼道和药叉道等， 痛苦和快乐都由自己的行为所决定，所以各种恶行都不要去做。 《饿鬼品》的颂文到此结束。 天人、阿修罗（Asura，一种神）和人类，他们的福报和寿命各有差别， 希望能够往生到天界的人，

English version They fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, with bellies as large as mountains and throats as thin as needles. Those who are deeply stingy and greedy, guarding their wealth as if it were their own eyes, Are unable to give even a small portion to the poor, the sick, or the Buddhas and Sangha, Nor do they use it for themselves; even their parents cannot obtain anything from them. After death, they fall into the body of a hungry ghost, never encountering even a drop of liquid. If they steal the property of others, and then feel regret after giving it away, They will also fall into the body of a hungry ghost, constantly feeding on pus and saliva. If they utter evil words, slandering and defaming the virtuous and good, They will fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, with torches of fire emerging from their mouths. Due to stinginess, greed, and contention, maliciously spying on the wealth of others, They fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, barely obtaining food from sacrifices, Or entering villages and seeing abandoned food, Such as vomit, phlegm, and saliva, which they constantly regard as delicious meals. They themselves are stingy, obstructing generosity, and alienating others from practicing charity, They become Kumbhandas (a type of demon), with ugly forms covered in pus and blood. If they harm and kill living beings, whether for their own consumption or for others, They fall into the realm of Rakshasas (a type of demon), who love to eat garlands, incense, and powders. Even if they give food and drink, but harbor a small amount of anger, They fall into the realm of Gandharvas (a type of celestial being), becoming musicians loved by the gods. If they love to engage in divisive speech, causing strife and harboring anger, They fall into the realm of Pisachas (a type of demon), with ugly heads and faces. Although they love to practice generosity, they constantly cause suffering and distress to others, They fall into the evil realms, becoming Mutada ghosts (a type of demon). They themselves engage in fierce killing, or incite others to engage in fierce killing, They fall into the body of Yakshas (a type of guardian spirit), who are also fierce and violent. They often disobey the wishes of their parents, teachers, and elders, They fall into the Yaksha palaces, brave and strong, acting violently and wickedly. The karmic consequences of stinginess and anger are falling into the realms of hungry ghosts and Yakshas, etc. Suffering and happiness are determined by one's own actions, so all kinds of evil deeds should not be done. The verses of the 'Hungry Ghost' chapter are completed. Gods, Asuras (a type of deity), and humans have different levels of blessings and lifespans, Those who desire to be reborn in the heavens,

English version Adhering to the eight precepts (Astanga-sila, the eight precepts in Buddhism), Leads to happiness and longevity, Far from the suffering of disease. If these precepts are broken, A small portion of joy leads to rebirth in heaven, But one may fall into the realm of Asuras (a type of deity), With Bhutas (a type of spirit) as companions. Though one does not steal the wealth of others, Not even a hair's breadth of generosity is practiced, Miserliness and greed abound, And one becomes a guarding ghost of wealth. Neither stealing nor giving, Neither miserly nor greedy, One is destined to be born as a human, With much hardship in clothing and food. Neither stealing, greed, nor anger, Abiding in contentment, Offering delicious food to the virtuous and wise, They will be reborn in the human world, With longevity, beauty, and strength, Auspicious and without illness. Constantly practicing giving and offering food, With pure faith and a sense of shame, One obtains wealth, nobility, and dignified appearance, Abundant resources, livestock, and more. If one gives fields, houses, etc., And builds monasteries (Samgharama, a monastery), Making their hearts rejoice, In their own body, Everything is as desired, If one gives shoes and sandals, Offering to the Buddha and Sangha (Buddhist monastic community), One obtains peace and happiness, And often receives carriages and mounts. If in the wilderness, One provides water, making wells, And also creates shade, Relieving them from fatigue and thirst, One will obtain wonderful flowers, Auspicious, vast, and adorned, A soft and complete body. If to those who transmit the Dharma (Buddhist teachings), One gives children, etc., Later, being reborn as a human, One will be intelligent and wise.

敬， 善破于烦恼， 当得安乐果。 悲愍不悭吝， 辍己而施他， 定感富饶果， 衣食自丰足。 如彼四时中， 随时行布施， 崇重具仪式， 当获一切福。 偷盗他财物， 自己作所须， 违背于真空， 烦恼不舍离。 不作有相心， 依如行布施， 如是布施果， 无为大安乐。 如人离淫欲， 童男等不生， 远出至他方， 无思无挂碍。 若人着淫欲， 心行无返复， 狂乱自耽着， 永堕于三涂。 嫌弃于女人， 修戒薄痴爱， 复至命终时， 犹如破毒气。 若行正等因， 不舍于梵行， 精进得吉祥， 天人恒供养。 坚固不迷乱， 无饮酒妄言， 出语常真实， 获名闻安乐。 种种造饮食， 供养和合众， 当感善眷属， 同生不动国。 互相作承事， 欢喜意无违， 观察谛理空， 不欺不颠倒， 苦恼永已尽， 安乐而解脱。 若好於戏论， 歌舞着顽愚， 我慢恃端严， 欺𪌒于贫贱， 当受背伛身， 喑哑形痤陋， 疾病镇缠缚， 语言而不逊， 罪苦转弥深， 无因得安乐。 寂静心恬澹， 一切善出生， 报应果不虚， 速成离苦道。 现代汉语译本 敬重地， 善于破除烦恼，就能得到安乐的果报。 以慈悲之心怜悯他人，不吝啬，舍弃自己的所需来布施给他人， 必定感得富饶的果报，衣食自然丰足。 就像四季之中，随时施行布施， 崇敬重视并具足仪式，就能获得一切福报。 偷盗他人的财物，用来满足自己的需求， 这是违背真空的道理，烦恼不会舍离。 不以执着于外相的心，而是依循真如的道理去行布施， 这样的布施果报，是无为而得的大安乐。 就像人远离淫欲，就不会有童男等再生， 远离家乡到其他地方，心中没有思念和牵挂。 如果人执着于淫欲，心行没有返回和停止的时候， 狂乱而沉溺其中，将永远堕入三恶道（三涂）。 嫌弃女人，修持戒律，减少痴爱， 直到命终之时，就像破除毒气一样。 如果奉行正等之因，不舍弃清净的修行（梵行）， 精进修行就能得到吉祥，天人和世人都会供养。 坚定不迷乱，不饮酒，不说虚妄之语， 说出的话常常真实，就能获得名声、安乐。 用种种美好的饮食，供养和合的僧众， 将感得善良的眷属，一同往生到不动佛国。 互相承事，心怀欢喜没有违逆， 观察真谛，了知诸法性空，不欺骗，不颠倒， 苦恼永远止息，得到安乐和解脱。 如果喜欢戏论，沉迷于歌舞，执着于愚痴， 傲慢自大，仗恃自己的容貌端庄，欺骗贫贱的人， 将受到驼背弯腰的果报，变成喑哑、丑陋的样子， 疾病缠身，言语粗俗不逊， 罪苦越来越深重，没有得到安乐的因缘。 内心寂静恬淡，一切善法由此而生， 报应的果报真实不虚，迅速成就脱离痛苦的道路。

English version Reverently, Being good at breaking through afflictions, one will obtain the fruit of peace and happiness. With a compassionate heart, pitying others, not being stingy, giving up one's own needs to give to others, One will surely reap the fruit of wealth and abundance, with clothing and food naturally plentiful. Just like in the four seasons, practicing giving at any time, Respectfully valuing and possessing the proper rituals, one will obtain all blessings. Stealing the property of others to satisfy one's own needs, This is contrary to the principle of emptiness, and afflictions will not depart. Not with a mind attached to appearances, but following the principle of suchness to practice giving, The fruit of such giving is the great peace and happiness obtained through non-action. Just as a person who is detached from lust will not have boys born again, Leaving home to other places, the mind has no thoughts or attachments. If a person is attached to lust, the mind has no return or cessation, Being frantic and indulging in it, one will forever fall into the three evil realms (three paths). Disliking women, cultivating precepts, reducing infatuation and love, Until the end of life, it is like breaking poisonous gas. If practicing the cause of right equality, not abandoning pure conduct (Brahma-conduct), Diligent practice will obtain auspiciousness, and gods and humans will constantly make offerings. Being firm and not confused, not drinking alcohol, not speaking false words, Speaking words that are always true, one will obtain fame, peace, and happiness. Using all kinds of fine food and drink to make offerings to the harmonious Sangha, One will be rewarded with kind family members, and together be reborn in the Buddha-land of Akshobhya (Immovable). Serving each other, with joyful hearts and no opposition, Observing the true meaning, knowing the emptiness of all dharmas, not deceiving, not being inverted, Suffering will be forever extinguished, and one will attain peace and liberation. If one likes frivolous talk, indulging in singing and dancing, clinging to ignorance, Being arrogant and relying on one's beautiful appearance, deceiving the poor and lowly, One will receive the retribution of a hunched back, becoming mute and ugly, Afflicted by diseases, speaking vulgar and disrespectful words, The suffering of sins will become deeper and deeper, with no cause to obtain peace and happiness. With a quiet and peaceful mind, all good things arise, The retribution of cause and effect is true and not false, quickly accomplishing the path of liberation from suffering.
