English version: Dwelling in the city of constant joy and peace, secure and inactive, following the mind of the Buddha, abiding in the realm of Suchness, single-mindedly entering into the Eighteen Great Emptinesses (eighteen kinds of emptiness) and the Nine Nirvanas (nine states of Nirvana). ‘Buddhas and Bodhisattvas attain five merits, their forms are pure and they are constantly born in lotuses, their bodies are pure and without defilement, and their minds are also detached. Therefore, all Buddhas preach the precept of non-lust, which is the most supreme purity, the unsurpassed merit, possessing five benefits, worthy of praise and admiration, being the cause of liberation, and inexhaustible. Lust is the heaviest, a bondage without chains, like an old elephant, drowning in the mud of the five desires, universally being the root of all sins. I shall now speak of the sins of lust:’ ‘You should listen attentively with one mind, lust is a turbid and evil practice, it drowns one in meditation, and obstructs the path of liberation. Good men and good women, wanting to seek the path of liberation, to escape the prison of the Three Realms (Desire Realm, Form Realm, Formless Realm), to escape the river of five desires like a pit of fire, to escape the mountains of boiling water, ice, and cold, to be liberated from the fear of birth and death, holding the mind like the Buddhas, you should uphold the precept of non-lust. Wanting to seek long life in the heavens, a lifespan of immeasurable kalpas, wanting to become Brahma, a Chakravartin King (a ruler possessing the wheel jewel), rich in seven treasures, holding the mind like the Buddhas, you should uphold the precept of non-lust. Wanting to see all the Buddhas, to hear the Dharma, to attain the fruit of the Path, to possess the six supernormal powers (six kinds of supernatural abilities), to travel to the lands of the ten directions, holding the mind like the Buddhas, you should uphold the precept of non-lust.’ ‘Lust has ten faults. What are the ten?’ ‘First, a person who is greedy for lust, even if born in the heavens, becoming Sakra (the lord of the Trayastrimsa Heaven), enjoying the pleasures of the five desires, his mind is like a dog stealing food, constantly drunk and unconscious, drowning in the swift river of the five desires.’ ‘Second, a person who is greedy for lust, even if becoming a human king, with power and freedom, becomes a slave of love, used by uncivilized people, even if obtaining much wealth, like fire receiving firewood, never knowing satisfaction, ultimately losing his life and country, and falling into evil paths after death.’ ‘Third, a person who is greedy for lust, is constantly bound by others, driven by the six thieves (form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma), the impermanent elephant treads on his back, his mind is like a monkey, unaware of the many calamities. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

化为狗，男化为刀，驱蹴罪人受无量苦，啖热铁丸，吞饮洋铜，求死不得，经无量岁，寿命一劫。 “十者，贪淫之人，不得见佛，如重云障，破梵行故，必定当堕阿鼻地狱，身满狱中寿命一劫，左右宛转复经一劫。时阎罗王呵责罪人：‘汝乐淫欲，今受此苦。是事乐不？汝今复当百千万劫偿他人债，终不可尽。’ “地狱命终，生鸠鸽中，受龙蛇身，污梵行故，百生千生不见于佛，不闻于法，终不得道！” 尔时世尊。以偈颂曰： “淫欲不断绝， 相续生众生， 无明为根本， 老死刀所切。 横受毒蛇林， 血盛囊不净， 如粪虫乐屎， 贪淫者亦然。 九孔流欲火， 恩爱如毒刺， 颠倒妄见起， 幻惑故生爱。 一切女色滑， 如树生狂花， 颠倒风所吹， 萎花为虫聚。 女人如画瓶， 渧渧脓血流， 瓶满复淋漏， 不净盈于外， 眼见不净汁， 如偷狗贪淫。 当自灭诸爱， 一心观不净， 服饮于甘露， 住大涅槃城。” 佛告舍利弗：“若有持心、持身不造淫欲，持眼不视淫色，持耳不听淫声，持鼻不嗅淫香，持舌不触淫味，如此名为具足智慧，行八正路。不淫净身心，喻如莲花，不着尘垢，成须陀洹道、斯陀 现代汉语译本： 化为狗，男子化为刀，驱赶踢打罪人，遭受无量的痛苦，吞吃滚烫的铁丸，饮用熔化的铜汁，求死不能，经历无量岁月，寿命长达一劫（kalpa，佛教时间单位）。 ‘第十种情况是，贪图淫欲的人，无法见到佛，就像被厚重的云层遮蔽一样，因为破坏了清净的修行，必定会堕入阿鼻地狱（Avīci，八大地狱中最苦之处），身体充满整个地狱，寿命长达一劫，在其中左右翻滚又经历一劫。这时阎罗王（Yama，地狱之主）呵斥罪人：‘你喜欢淫欲，现在就承受这样的痛苦。这感觉快乐吗？你现在还要经历百千万劫来偿还他人的债务，永远无法偿还完毕。’ ‘从地狱命终之后，转生为鸠鸽，承受龙蛇之身，因为玷污了清净的修行，百生千生都无法见到佛，无法听闻佛法，最终无法得道！’ 这时世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊称）用偈颂说道： ‘淫欲若不断绝， 相续产生众生， 无明为根本， 老死如刀切割。 横遭毒蛇侵扰， 血污之身不清净， 如同粪虫乐于粪便， 贪图淫欲者也是这样。 九孔流出污秽， 恩爱如同毒刺， 颠倒妄见由此生起， 被幻象迷惑而生爱。 一切女色光滑， 如同树上生出狂花， 被颠倒之风吹动， 枯萎的花朵成为虫子的聚集地。 女人如同彩绘的瓶子， 滴滴答答流出脓血， 瓶子满了还会渗漏， 污秽充满外面， 眼睛所见都是不干净的汁液， 如同偷狗贪图淫欲。 应当自己灭除各种爱欲， 一心观想不净之物， 服饮甘露， 安住于大涅槃（Nirvana，解脱）之城。’ 佛告诉舍利弗（Śāriputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）：‘如果有人能保持心念清净，保持身体不造淫欲，保持眼睛不看女色，保持耳朵不听淫声，保持鼻子不闻淫香，保持舌头不接触淫味，这样就叫做具足智慧，行于八正道（Eightfold Path）。不淫欲，清净身心，比喻如同莲花，不沾染尘垢，成就须陀洹（Srotapanna，小乘初果）道、斯陀含（Sakrdagamin，小乘二果）道。’

English version: They are transformed into dogs, and men into knives, driving and kicking the sinners, enduring immeasurable suffering, devouring hot iron balls, and drinking molten copper. They cannot seek death, and after immeasurable years, their lifespan is one kalpa (kalpa, a unit of time in Buddhism). ‘The tenth case is that those who are greedy for lust cannot see the Buddha, just like being obscured by heavy clouds. Because they have broken their pure conduct, they will surely fall into Avīci Hell (Avīci, the most painful of the eight great hells), their bodies filling the entire hell, and their lifespan is one kalpa. They roll around in it for another kalpa. At this time, Yama (Yama, the lord of hell) rebukes the sinners: ‘You enjoyed lust, now endure this suffering. Does this feel pleasurable? You must now repay the debts of others for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, and you will never be able to finish repaying them.’ ‘After their life in hell ends, they are reborn as pigeons and doves, and endure the bodies of dragons and snakes. Because they have defiled their pure conduct, they will not be able to see the Buddha for hundreds and thousands of lives, nor will they be able to hear the Dharma, and they will ultimately not be able to attain the Way!’ At that time, the Bhagavan (Bhagavan, an epithet for the Buddha) spoke in verse: ‘If lust is not cut off, Living beings are continuously produced, Ignorance is the root, Old age and death are like a knife cutting. They suffer the forest of poisonous snakes, The body full of blood is impure, Like dung beetles delighting in excrement, Those who are greedy for lust are also like this. The nine orifices flow with filth, Affection is like a poisonous thorn, Inverted and deluded views arise from this, Being deluded by illusions, love arises. All female forms are smooth, Like wild flowers growing on a tree, Blown by the wind of delusion, The withered flowers become a gathering place for insects. Women are like painted vases, Trickling with pus and blood, The vase is full and leaks again, Impurity fills the outside, The eyes see impure fluids, Like a thieving dog greedy for lust. You should extinguish all desires yourself, Single-mindedly contemplate impurity, Drink the nectar, Dwell in the city of Great Nirvana (Nirvana, liberation).’ The Buddha told Śāriputra (Śāriputra, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom): ‘If someone can maintain a pure mind, keep their body from committing lust, keep their eyes from looking at female forms, keep their ears from listening to lustful sounds, keep their nose from smelling lustful fragrances, and keep their tongue from touching lustful tastes, this is called having complete wisdom and walking the Eightfold Path. Not being lustful, purifying body and mind, is like a lotus flower, not stained by dust, attaining the path of Srotapanna (Srotapanna, the first fruit of the Hinayana) and Sakrdagamin (Sakrdagamin, the second fruit of the Hinayana).’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
