,  他怖获微祀。  若人多宴乐,  广杀诸物命,  自食复与他,  后堕罗刹鬼。  于供养香花,  或嗅或私取,  由起少贪心,  后作寻香鬼。  若人相崇奉,  于己有所求,  怒色希彼财,  后作猛恶鬼。  若人于他娶,  常乐作媒伐,  后怀恶相离,  死作步多鬼。  若人乐饮酒,  过量复颠酗,  或持劝他人,  后作药叉鬼。  于父母师长,  所欲相违背,  后生药叉宫,  勇健多卒暴。  彼悭贪过失,  常生饿鬼中,  苦乐随自因,  是故勿复造。   饿鬼趣竟。  人天三恶趣,  唯自能救拔,  奔驰六趣中,  如梦境和合。  睹自他眷属,  伤叹岂长久,  如彼俳优人,  数数易形色。  受地狱苦毕,  或生于天中,  福尽复沉沦,  堕彼畜生趣。  受种种形色,  后得生人间,  贫苦极艰辛,  譬车轮旋转。   畜生趣竟。  彼人趣寿命,  分量本长远,  多造杀生因,  由此而减少。  萦缠诸病苦,  癞瘦时疫等,  为鬼魅所著,  及王法捶打。  若人于财利,  劳役广希求,  无少惠施心,  后作守财鬼。  若人盗他财,  用已或能施,  后堕鬼趣中 现代汉语译本   他因恐惧而略作微小的祭祀。  若有人沉迷于宴乐,大量宰杀各种生物,自己食用也给他人食用,死后会堕入罗刹鬼(Rakshasa,食人鬼)道。  如果有人对供养的香花,或嗅闻或私自拿取,因为生起微小的贪心,死后会变成寻香鬼。  如果有人互相崇拜奉承,因为对他人有所求,而因对方不给而怒目以待,贪求他们的钱财,死后会变成凶猛恶鬼。  如果有人喜欢参与他人的婚娶之事,乐于做媒人,但事后又心怀恶意导致他人离散,死后会变成步多鬼(Bhuta,一种鬼)。  如果有人喜欢饮酒,过量且醉酒,或者劝他人饮酒,死后会变成药叉鬼(Yaksa,一种鬼)。  如果有人对父母师长,心怀违逆,死后会生于药叉宫,虽然勇猛健壮但性情暴躁。  那些悭吝贪婪的过失,会让他们常生于饿鬼道中,所受的痛苦或快乐都随各自的业因,所以不要再造恶业。   饿鬼趣完结。  人道、天道和三恶趣,唯有自己才能救拔自己,在六道中奔波流转,如同梦境一般虚幻。  看到自己和他人的眷属,悲伤叹息又能持续多久呢?如同那些俳优(演员),不断变换形貌。  受完地狱的苦难后,或许能生到天界,但福报享尽后又会沉沦,堕入畜生道。  承受种种不同的形体和样貌,之后或许能得到人身,但生活贫困艰辛,就像车轮一样不断旋转。   畜生趣完结。  人道的寿命,原本是很长远的,但因为多数人造作杀生的恶因,因此寿命减少。  被各种疾病缠绕,如麻风病、瘦弱、时疫等,被鬼魅所附着,以及遭受王法的鞭打。  如果有人对财利,辛勤劳作广泛追求,却没有丝毫布施之心,死后会变成守财鬼。  如果有人偷盗他人的财物,用完之后或许会布施出去,死后会堕入鬼道中。

English version He fearfully offered meager sacrifices. If a person indulges in revelry, extensively killing various living beings, consuming them himself and giving them to others, he will be reborn as a Rakshasa (flesh-eating demon). If someone smells or secretly takes the offered incense and flowers, due to arising a small amount of greed, he will be reborn as a Gandharva (a spirit that feeds on scent). If people mutually revere and flatter each other, seeking something from others, and become angry when their desires are not met, coveting their wealth, they will be reborn as fierce and evil demons. If someone enjoys participating in others' marriages, delighting in matchmaking, but later harbors malicious intentions causing separation, he will be reborn as a Bhuta (a type of ghost). If someone enjoys drinking alcohol, drinking excessively and becoming intoxicated, or encourages others to drink, he will be reborn as a Yaksha (a type of spirit). If someone is rebellious towards parents and teachers, he will be reborn in the Yaksha palace, courageous and strong but with a violent temperament. Those who are miserly and greedy will often be reborn in the realm of hungry ghosts, experiencing suffering or happiness according to their own karma. Therefore, do not create evil karma. The realm of hungry ghosts is concluded. The realms of humans, gods, and the three evil realms, only oneself can liberate oneself. Wandering in the six realms is like a dreamlike illusion. Seeing one's own and others' relatives, how long can sorrow and lamentation last? Like actors, constantly changing their forms and appearances. After enduring the suffering of hell, one may be born in the heavens, but when the blessings are exhausted, one will fall again, descending into the animal realm. Undergoing various forms and appearances, one may later be born as a human, but life is impoverished and difficult, like a turning wheel. The animal realm is concluded. The lifespan of humans was originally long, but because most people create the evil karma of killing, their lifespans are shortened. They are entangled by various diseases, such as leprosy, emaciation, and epidemics, possessed by ghosts and spirits, and subjected to beatings by the law. If someone toils and strives extensively for wealth and profit, without the slightest intention of giving, he will be reborn as a treasure-guarding ghost. If someone steals the wealth of others, using it and perhaps giving it away, he will fall into the realm of ghosts after death.

,  随得随散失。  若人于己财,  随分而行施,  当获于富饶,  不为他侵损。  若人以净财,  离悭广行施,  得上妙饮食,  所欲皆如意。  若人以珍馔,  净心而奉施,  其所得福报,  色力命安隐。  若人以衣施,  彼得生爱乐,  获色相端严,  具惭愧衣服。  若人造僧坊,  欢喜而用施,  感宫殿庄严,  五欲皆具足。  若人建桥梁,  及车乘等施,  得最上安隐,  珍宝之辇舆。  若人于旷野,  施池井泉流,  于在所生处,  无渴乏热恼。  若人以嬖妾,  严饰而为施,  彼所得果报,  具欲乐富贵。  若人以经教,  及世俗文典,  能持施于他,  感博学大智。  若人以医药,  及以无畏施,  彼所得果报,  安乐离恐怖。  若施以灯明,  其眼常清净;  若施以音乐,  得其声美妙;  若施以卧具,  获安隐快乐;  若施以僮仆,  营从常围绕;  施乳牛等物,  得色力寿命;  若施以良田,  得仓库盈溢。  如彼彼求者,  各各随所欲,  花果及清泉,  爱语善安慰。  复有虽行施,  役他而少与,  因恐怖发心,  及希他赞誉;  或求现富贵,  生 天受快乐,  如是等行施,  获福极微少。  若乐行利他,  不惜于身命,  常怀悲愍心,  圣果不难得。  诸有来乞者,  依时而给与,  令彼生忻悦,  感果得如意。  施彼若艰难,  受报时亦尔,  辍己惠于他,  最上安乐法。  施为诸乐本,  如种生其果,  愍彼来希求,  随与无空返。  慎勿侵外色,  视之如己子,  设复于自妻,  举心即令止。  若人于欲境,  系心而乐着,  后生于世间,  定受女身报。  若人厌女身,  舍欲持净戒,  发生坚固心,  转身作男子。  若人修梵行,  则无诸损恼,  具福德威神,  天人常恭敬。  若人不饮酒,  安住于正念,  常出真实言,  现获于安隐。  若见他相违,  劝喻令和悦,  感眷属广多,  无别离苦恼。  于师长教敕,  常欢喜听受,  损益更筹量,  则具善巧智。  贫窭执役者,  好行于捶打,  无过而恼他,  己苦更加苦。  若人具形色,  恃之而起慢,  戏弄于他人,  当获矬伛报。  若人性悭鄙,  善诱佯不闻,  彼极重愚痴,  当获聋哑报。  行善有余庆,  积恶招苦恼,  各成辨彼因,  随业定当受 现代汉语译本: 享受天上的快乐, 像这样行布施,获得的福报非常微少。 如果乐于行利益他人的事,不吝惜自己的身命, 常怀悲悯之心,证得圣果并不困难。 如有前来乞讨的人,依时节给予他们, 让他们心生欢喜,所感得的果报就能如意。 如果布施时感到艰难,接受果报时也会如此, 拿出自己拥有的去惠施他人,这是最上等的安乐之法。 布施是诸乐的根本,如同播种能生出果实, 怜悯前来希求的人,给予他们,不要让他们空手而返。 谨慎不要侵犯他人的妻女,看待她们如同自己的子女, 即使面对自己的妻子,心生邪念也要立即停止。 如果有人对欲望之境,心生执着而乐于其中, 后世生于世间,必定会受到女身之报。 如果有人厌恶女身,舍弃欲望,持守清净的戒律, 发起坚固的心,转身就能成为男子。 如果有人修持梵行(清净的行为),就不会有各种损害和恼乱, 具备福德和威神力,天人和人都常常恭敬他。 如果有人不饮酒,安住于正念之中, 常常说真实的话,现在就能获得安稳。 如果看到他人之间有矛盾,劝解开导使他们和悦, 感得眷属广多,没有别离的痛苦。 对于师长的教诲,常常欢喜地听受, 衡量其中的利弊得失,就能具备善巧的智慧。 对于贫穷困苦的役使之人,喜欢捶打他们, 无缘无故地恼害他人,自己的痛苦会更加深重。 如果有人具备美好的容貌,依仗它而生起傲慢之心, 戏弄他人,将会获得矮小驼背的果报。 如果人性情悭吝鄙啬,即使听到行善的劝导也假装没听见, 这种人极其愚痴,将会获得聋哑的果报。 行善会有剩余的福庆,积累恶业会招致痛苦烦恼, 各自成就那些业因,随着所造的业,必定会承受相应的果报。

English version: Enjoying heavenly bliss, Such acts of giving yield extremely meager blessings. If one delights in benefiting others, not sparing one's own life, Constantly cherishing a compassionate heart, attaining the sacred fruit is not difficult. If there are those who come begging, give to them in due season, Causing them to rejoice, the resulting karmic effect will be as desired. If giving is difficult, the retribution received will be similar, Giving away what one possesses to benefit others is the supreme method of peace and happiness. Giving is the root of all joys, like planting seeds that bear fruit, Have compassion for those who come seeking, give to them and do not let them return empty-handed. Be cautious not to violate another's wife or daughter, regard them as your own children, Even when facing your own wife, if evil thoughts arise, stop them immediately. If a person's mind is attached to and delights in the realm of desire, In future lives in this world, they will certainly receive the retribution of a female body. If a person detests the female body, abandons desires, and upholds pure precepts, Generating a firm and resolute mind, they will be reborn as a male. If a person practices Brahmacharya (pure conduct), they will be free from all harm and affliction, Possessing the power of merit and virtue, they will be constantly revered by gods and humans. If a person does not drink alcohol, abides in right mindfulness, Always speaks truthfully, they will attain peace and security in this very life. If you see discord among others, advise and reconcile them to bring about harmony, You will gain many relatives and be free from the suffering of separation. Towards the teachings of teachers and elders, always listen and receive them with joy, Weighing the benefits and drawbacks, you will possess skillful wisdom. Those who are poor and serve as laborers, enjoy beating them, Afflicting others without cause, their own suffering will be increased. If a person possesses good looks, relies on them, and becomes arrogant, Teasing and mocking others, they will receive the retribution of being short and hunchbacked. If a person is stingy and miserly, pretending not to hear good advice, Such a person is extremely foolish and will receive the retribution of being deaf and mute. Performing good deeds brings residual blessings, accumulating evil brings suffering and affliction, Each accomplishes those causes, and according to the karma created, one will certainly receive the corresponding retribution.

。   人趣报竟。  常行于谄诳,  乐忿恚斗诤,  由昔行施故,  而作修罗主。   修罗趣竟。  乐修十善因,  于他无损害,  诸天常护持,  得生四王天。  于父母三宝,  恭敬随能施,  具忍辱柔和,  得生忉利天。  自不乐忿诤,  劝他令和顺,  纯善修净因,  得生焰摩天。  乐多闻正法,  专修解脱惠,  喜赞他功德,  得生兜率天。  于施戒诸行,  自性常爱乐,  起精进勇猛,  得生变化天。  是最上有情,  具沙门梵行,  增长解脱因,  得生他化天。  以戒定熏修,  普资于愿力,  生天上人间,  达真如实际。  如是善恶报,  已分明显示,  作善招人天,  造恶萦极苦。  老病死未至,  勤思求正法,  自果报一来,  所爱皆离别。  彼贪等过失,  深可生厌患,  智者善思惟,  是故当远离。  若常行利他,  则无诸障恼,  罪福定无差,  略说宜谛听。   六趣轮回经 现代汉语译本 人道的果报已经讲完。 常常行谄媚欺骗之事,喜欢愤怒、怨恨和争斗,由于过去曾经行布施的缘故,而成为阿修罗(Asura)之主。 阿修罗道的果报已经讲完。 喜欢修习十善业,不损害他人,诸天常常护持,得以生到四王天(Cāturmahārājikakāyika-deva)。 对于父母和三宝(Triratna),恭敬并随自己的能力布施,具备忍辱和柔和的品德,得以生到忉利天(Trāyastriṃśa)。 自己不喜欢愤怒和争斗,劝他人和睦相处,纯粹以善良修习清净的因,得以生到焰摩天(Yāmadeva)。 喜欢听闻正法,专心修习解脱的智慧,喜欢赞叹他人的功德,得以生到兜率天(Tuṣita)。 对于布施、持戒等行为,自性常常喜爱,发起精进和勇猛之心,得以生到化乐天(Nirmāṇarati)。 这是最上等的有情众生,具备沙门(Śrāmaṇa)的清净行为,增长解脱的因,得以生到他化自在天(Paranirmita-vaśavartin)。 以戒律和禅定熏修,普遍资助自己的愿力,生于天上和人间,通达真如(Tathātā)的实际。 像这样善恶的果报,已经分明地显示出来,行善招感人天福报,作恶则被极大的痛苦缠绕。 在衰老、疾病和死亡还未到来之前,勤奋思考并寻求正法,一旦自己的果报到来,所爱的一切都将离别。 那些贪婪等的过失,实在令人厌恶,有智慧的人应当好好地思考,因此应当远离它们。 如果常常行利益他人的事,就不会有各种障碍和烦恼,罪和福一定不会有差错,简略地说,应当仔细听。 《六趣轮回经》

English

English version The retribution of the human realm is complete. Constantly engaging in flattery and deceit, delighting in anger, resentment, and strife, yet due to past acts of generosity, one becomes a lord of the Asuras (demigods). The realm of the Asuras is complete. Delighting in cultivating the causes of the ten virtues, causing no harm to others, constantly protected by the devas (gods), one is born into the Heaven of the Four Kings (Cāturmahārājikakāyika-deva). With respect to parents and the Three Jewels (Triratna), reverently giving according to one's ability, possessing patience and gentleness, one is born into the Heaven of the Thirty-three (Trāyastriṃśa). Not delighting in anger and strife oneself, encouraging others to be harmonious, purely cultivating wholesome causes, one is born into the Heaven of Yama (Yāmadeva). Delighting in hearing much of the true Dharma, focusing on cultivating the wisdom of liberation, joyfully praising the merits of others, one is born into the Heaven of Tuṣita (Tuṣita). With respect to giving, precepts, and other practices, naturally taking delight in them, arousing diligence and courage, one is born into the Heaven of Nirmāṇarati (Nirmāṇarati). Being the highest of sentient beings, possessing the pure conduct of a Śrāmaṇa (ascetic), increasing the causes of liberation, one is born into the Heaven of Paranirmita-vaśavartin (Paranirmita-vaśavartin). Through the cultivation of precepts and meditation, universally assisting one's vows, being born in heavens and among humans, one attains the reality of Suchness (Tathātā). Thus, the retributions of good and evil have been clearly shown; performing good deeds invites the blessings of humans and devas, while committing evil is entangled in extreme suffering. Before old age, sickness, and death arrive, diligently contemplate and seek the true Dharma; once one's own retribution arrives, all that is loved will be separated. Those faults such as greed are deeply repulsive; the wise should contemplate well, therefore one should stay away from them. If one constantly acts to benefit others, then there will be no obstacles or afflictions; the consequences of sin and merit will certainly not be different; briefly said, one should listen carefully.
