English version: That which is inviolable and the wrong thoughts that should not be conceived, to violate or conceive them is to enter a state of not understanding the time and practicing improperly. That which can be avoided but is not includes: fierce oxen, horses, mad dogs, snakes, insects, as well as water, fire, pits, traps, rushing vehicles, galloping horses, and drunkards and evil people with drawn swords. All these are cases of that which can be avoided but is not. 'Like these nine causes and conditions, they cause a person's life to end before its natural end. A wise person should recognize these, should avoid these, and if they avoid them, they will obtain two blessings: one is to obtain longevity, and the other is to hear the good Dharma, and also to practice the Way for a long time.' The Buddha said: 'There are four kinds of food: the first is 'child food', the second is 'three hundred spear-stabbing food', the third is 'leather worm-born food', and the fourth is 'disaster food'. 'Child food' refers to when a person craves delicious food and eats meat, they should reflect: 'This meat is all my parents, brothers, wives, and relatives from past lives, and they cannot escape the cycle of birth and death!' Once this thought arises, they can stop their craving, and this is 'child food'. 'Three hundred spear-stabbing food' refers to when eating, one constantly generates craving thoughts along with the taste, and cannot stop the attachment to taste, then one cannot be liberated. Also, just as stabbing a person with a spear causes them to lose their life, if the thoughts that have already arisen are constantly repeated, one will suffer various kinds of suffering, and this is 'three hundred spear-stabbing food'. 'Leather worm-born food' refers to when a person craves taste and also worries about all things and family matters, these worries will penetrate a person's mind, and the mind will generate all kinds of ideas to cope with them, and this is 'leather worm-born food'. 'Disaster food' refers to the actions of birth and death in one's life are all 'disaster food', just as fire burns all things, everything that a person does will trouble themselves in the future, just like fire burning all things, therefore it is called 'disaster'. The reason for calling it 'food' is because it refers to the things that people like and care about, therefore it is called 'food'.' 'Eating meat is like eating one's own children, and various livestock have been my parents, brothers, and wives countless times. There are also six causes and conditions under which one should not eat meat: first, do not kill oneself; second, do not instruct others to kill; third, do not be of one mind with those who kill; fourth, seeing killing; fifth, hearing killing; sixth, suspecting that it was killed for my sake. Without these six conditions, one can eat meat, and those who do not eat meat will have six doubts. If a person can abstain from eating meat, they will obtain not... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 惊怖福。”

佛言：“食多有五罪：一者、多睡眠；二者、多病；三者、多淫；四者、不能讽诵经；五者、多着世间。何以故？人贪淫、人知色味，瞋恚知横至味，痴人知饭食味。《律经》说：‘人贪味，味复味得生不得美味。’” 佛言：“一食者为欲断生死，亦随贪不能行道，为得天眼自知所从来生去至何所。人不念死，多食，常念妇人，皆堕百四十恶，中天皆用饭故。犯十恶后生便失人形，堕畜生中。既得作人，饥渴血出，瞋恚傍生，于爱内生于贪。佛说有大福，自饥以饭与人，令人得命，是为大福。后生饶饮食，乏瞋恚，亦无所施，施亦不得，但意恣贪淫，亦无所施，但得意恣，非我所有。一钱以上，不得取故，作贪欲空，自苦作罪。道人不有忧愁，忧随怒，愁随贪。我辈有死岁、有死月、有死日、有死时，亦不知、亦不畏、亦不行道、亦不持戒，东走西走，忧铜忧铁，忧田宅、奴婢，但益人恼、增人苦，为种畜生习。” 佛言：“人治生，譬如蜂作蜜。采取众华，勤苦积日已成，人便攻取去。唐自苦，不得自给。人求是念，是忧有忧，无饥渴勤苦。合聚财物，未死，忧五家分，或水、火、盗贼、县官、病痛，多不如意。己死，他人得之。身当得其罪，毒痛不可言。五分者：一者、火分； 现代汉语译本：‘惊怖福’。 佛说：‘吃得太多有五种罪过：第一，容易昏睡；第二，容易生病；第三，容易产生淫欲；第四，不能好好地诵读佛经；第五，容易执着于世俗。为什么呢？因为贪婪的人贪图淫欲，知道女色的滋味；嗔怒的人知道横蛮的滋味；愚痴的人只知道饭菜的滋味。《律经》上说：‘人贪图美味，追求更多的美味，这样就无法获得真正的美味。’ 佛说：‘一天只吃一顿饭是为了断绝生死轮回，如果放纵贪欲就不能修行，就不能得到天眼，从而知道自己从哪里来，死后又将去向哪里。人们不思念死亡，吃得太多，总是想着女人，这样就会堕入一百四十种恶报之中，在中等天界也都是因为吃饭的缘故。犯下十恶之后，来生就会失去人形，堕入畜生道中。即使能够再次做人，也会遭受饥渴，流血，充满嗔恚，像畜生一样。在爱欲中产生贪婪。’佛说有很大的福报，就是自己忍受饥饿，把食物分给别人，使别人得以活命，这就是最大的福报。这样的人来生就会有很多的饮食，很少有嗔恚，而且乐于布施，不会吝啬，只会放纵贪婪和淫欲，认为一切都不是自己所拥有的。即使是一文钱以上的东西，也不应该贪取，因为贪欲是空虚的，只会让自己痛苦，造下罪孽。修行的人不应该有忧愁，忧愁跟随愤怒而来，烦恼跟随贪婪而来。我们有死亡的年份、死亡的月份、死亡的日子、死亡的时辰，却不知道，也不畏惧，也不修行，也不持戒，东奔西走，忧虑铜铁，忧虑田地房屋、奴仆，这只会增加人们的烦恼，增加人们的痛苦，这是在培养畜生的习气。’ 佛说：‘人们经营生计，就像蜜蜂酿蜜一样。采集各种各样的花朵，辛勤劳作，经过很多天才能酿成蜂蜜，人们却来攻打夺取。白白地让自己受苦，却不能自给自足。人们追求的是欲望，因为欲望而产生忧愁，没有饥渴的勤劳和辛苦。积攒财物，还没死，就担心被五家瓜分，或者被水灾、火灾、盗贼、官府、疾病夺走，很多事情都不如意。自己死后，别人得到这些财物。自己却要承受罪恶，痛苦难以言说。五家瓜分指的是：第一，被火烧毁；’

English version: ‘Terrifying Blessings.’ The Buddha said: ‘Eating too much has five faults: first, it leads to excessive sleep; second, it leads to many illnesses; third, it leads to excessive lust; fourth, it prevents one from reciting the scriptures properly; fifth, it leads to attachment to the world. Why is this so? Because greedy people crave lust and know the taste of sex; angry people know the taste of violence; foolish people only know the taste of food. The Vinaya Sutra says: ‘People crave delicious flavors, seeking more and more delicious flavors, and thus cannot obtain true flavor.’ The Buddha said: ‘Eating only one meal a day is to cut off the cycle of birth and death. If one indulges in greed, one cannot practice the Way, cannot obtain the divine eye, and thus cannot know where one comes from and where one will go after death. People do not contemplate death, eat too much, and are always thinking about women. This will lead them to fall into one hundred and forty evil destinies. Even in the middle heavens, this is due to eating. After committing the ten evils, one will lose human form in the next life and fall into the animal realm. Even if one can be reborn as a human, one will suffer from hunger and thirst, bleed, and be full of anger, like an animal. Greed arises from desire.’ The Buddha said that there is great merit in enduring hunger oneself and sharing food with others, allowing them to live. This is the greatest merit. Such a person will have plenty of food and drink in the next life, little anger, and will be generous in giving, not stingy, but will indulge in greed and lust, thinking that everything is not their own. Even a single coin should not be taken greedily, because greed is empty and only causes suffering and creates sin. A practitioner should not have worries. Worry follows anger, and sorrow follows greed. We have a year of death, a month of death, a day of death, and an hour of death, but we do not know, nor do we fear, nor do we practice the Way, nor do we uphold the precepts. We run east and west, worrying about copper and iron, worrying about fields, houses, and servants. This only increases people's troubles and increases people's suffering. This is cultivating the habits of animals.’ The Buddha said: ‘People manage their livelihoods like bees making honey. They gather various flowers, work diligently, and after many days, they make honey. But people come and attack and take it away. They suffer in vain and cannot support themselves. What people seek is desire, and because of desire, worry arises. There is no diligence and hardship from hunger and thirst. Accumulating wealth, before death, one worries about it being divided by the five families, or being taken away by floods, fires, thieves, government officials, or illnesses. Many things do not go as planned. After one's death, others get the wealth. One must bear the sin, and the pain is indescribable. The five families dividing it refers to: first, being destroyed by fire;’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

二者、水分；三者、盗贼分；四者、县官分；五者、贫昆弟分。何为无忧所有？人不计是五分忧，苦剧不弃，是忧苦有万端，结在腹中，离道远法。人法生贾作，得利，不当喜；不得利，亦不当忧；是皆前世宿命所致。人有贪，贪便不得利。正使得一天下财物，亦不能猛自用之，亦不随人去，但益人结、但有苦恼、但种后世缘因。缘因如火，如火无所不烧。我辈不觉，是黠不敢妄摇，知为增苦种罪。” 佛说佛医经 现代汉语译本：其次，会被水灾冲走；再次，会被盗贼偷走；第四，会被官府没收；第五，会被贫困的兄弟瓜分。什么才是真正无忧的拥有呢？人们不考虑这五种忧患，痛苦剧烈却不肯舍弃，这样忧愁痛苦就会有万千种，郁结在心中，离道离法越来越远。人们从事经商活动，获得利益，不应该过分欢喜；没有获得利益，也不应该过分忧愁；这些都是前世宿命所导致的。人如果贪婪，贪婪反而得不到利益。即使得到整个天下的财物，也不能尽情地随意使用，也不能随人带走，只会增加人的执着，只会带来苦恼，只会种下后世的因缘。因缘就像火一样，火无所不烧。我们这些人不觉悟，自作聪明不敢妄动，要知道这是在增加痛苦，种下罪恶的根源啊。 佛陀如是说《佛医经》

English version: Secondly, it is divided by floods; thirdly, it is divided by thieves; fourthly, it is divided by government officials; fifthly, it is divided by poor siblings. What is truly worry-free possession? People do not consider these five worries, and though the suffering is intense, they are unwilling to abandon it. Thus, worries and suffering will be of ten thousand kinds, knotted in the heart, and further and further away from the path and the Dharma. When people engage in business activities, they should not be overly joyful when they gain profit; nor should they be overly worried when they do not gain profit; these are all caused by past karma. If a person is greedy, greed will prevent them from gaining profit. Even if one were to obtain all the wealth in the world, one could not fully use it at will, nor could one take it with them. It would only increase one's attachment, only bring suffering, and only plant the seeds of future causes and conditions. Causes and conditions are like fire, and fire burns everything. We people are not aware, and we act cleverly, not daring to act rashly, knowing that this is increasing suffering and planting the roots of sin. Thus spoke the Buddha in the 'Buddha's Medicine Sutra'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
