含道、阿那含道、阿罗汉道、辟支佛道、无上大道，皆从不淫清净故得。 “口四业者，妄语、两舌、恶口、绮语、赞叹邪见语： “若能不妄语， 说不妄语戒， 持口如佛口， 常说诚实语。 是人生天上， 口香熏诸天， 若生于世间， 谓诸香庄严， 犹如香山水， 流入涅槃河。 若能不两舌， 心亦无二种， 舌如诸佛舌， 莲花叶覆面， 五种杂色光， 从于舌相出， 常说大人法， 至诚不两舌。 若能不恶口， 是名大丈夫， 人中端正者， 一切皆乐见。 如栴檀杂香， 若能不绮语， 口常出妙香， 犹如优钵罗。 生处得值佛， 口业如实净。 若不赞邪见， 不说邪见业， 生处常出家， 正命常具足， 如佛住涅槃， 皆从实语得。” 佛告舍利弗：“口四过者，有十大恶业。何等为十？ “一者，妄语人诽谤人，不闻言闻，不得道果言得道果，不见言见，如此恶人，虽不得病，犹如癞狗。” 尔时世尊而说偈言： “一切天人中， 猛火烧铁丸， 烧破一切人， 此贼不为胜。 何等为大贼？ 唯有一种人， 宁使节节火， 骨化为融铜， 吞啖于刀山， 镬 现代汉语译本 含道（入道之法）、阿那含道（不还果之道）、阿罗汉道（无学果之道）、辟支佛道（缘觉之道）、无上大道（成佛之道），都是从不邪淫的清净行为中获得的。 ‘口四业’指的是：妄语、两舌、恶口、绮语、赞叹邪见之语： ‘如果能够不妄语，宣说不妄语的戒律，持守口业如同佛陀的口业一般，常说诚实的话语。 这样的人会生到天上，口中的香气熏染诸天，如果生在世间，就像各种香料装饰一样，犹如香山之水，流入涅槃的河流。 如果能够不两舌，心中也没有两种想法，舌头如同诸佛的舌头，莲花叶覆盖面容，五种杂色的光芒，从舌相中发出，常说大人之法，至诚而不两舌。 如果能够不恶口，这就是大丈夫，人中最端正的人，一切众生都乐意见到。犹如旃檀的混合香气，如果能够不绮语，口中常发出美妙的香气，犹如优钵罗花。 所生之处能够遇到佛，口业如实清净。如果不赞叹邪见，不说邪见的言论，所生之处常常出家，正命常常具足，如同佛陀安住于涅槃，都是从真实语中获得的。’ 佛告诉舍利弗（佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）：‘口四过有十大恶业。哪十种呢？’ ‘第一种，妄语之人诽谤他人，没听到的说听到了，没得到道果的说得到了道果，没见到的说见到了，这样的恶人，即使没有生病，也像癞皮狗一样。’ 这时，世尊说了这样的偈语： ‘在一切天人之中，猛火燃烧的铁丸，烧破一切人，这种贼还不是最厉害的。 什么才是最大的贼？只有一种人，宁愿让身体节节燃烧，骨头融化成铜水，吞吃刀山，镬

English version The Path of Entering the Stream (Sotapanna-magga), the Path of the Non-Returner (Anagami-magga), the Path of the Arhat (Arahatta-magga), the Path of the Paccekabuddha (Pratyekabuddha-magga), and the Supreme Path (Anuttara-magga), are all attained through the purity of abstaining from sexual misconduct. ‘The four verbal actions are: false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, and speech praising wrong views.’ ‘If one can abstain from false speech, and proclaim the precept of abstaining from false speech, holding one's speech like the Buddha's speech, always speaking truthful words. Such a person will be born in the heavens, the fragrance from their mouth will perfume the heavens, if born in the world, it will be like various fragrant ornaments, like the water of Fragrant Mountain, flowing into the river of Nirvana. If one can abstain from divisive speech, and the mind is also without duality, the tongue is like the tongues of all the Buddhas, lotus leaves covering the face, five kinds of mixed-color light, emanating from the mark of the tongue, always speaking the Dharma of great beings, sincerely without divisive speech. If one can abstain from harsh speech, this is called a great person, the most upright among people, all beings are happy to see. Like the mixed fragrance of sandalwood, if one can abstain from idle chatter, the mouth always emits wonderful fragrance, like the Utpala flower. In the place of birth, one can meet the Buddha, the verbal karma is truly pure. If one does not praise wrong views, and does not speak of the karma of wrong views, in the place of birth, one often leaves home, right livelihood is always complete, like the Buddha abiding in Nirvana, all are obtained from truthful speech.’ The Buddha told Sariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom): ‘The four verbal transgressions have ten great evil karmas. What are the ten?’ ‘The first is that a person who speaks falsely slanders others, says they have heard what they have not heard, says they have attained the fruit of the path when they have not attained it, says they have seen what they have not seen. Such an evil person, even if they are not sick, is like a mangy dog.’ At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: ‘Among all gods and humans, a fiercely burning iron ball, burns and breaks all people, this thief is not the most formidable. What is the greatest thief? There is only one kind of person, who would rather have their body burn joint by joint, their bones melt into molten copper, swallow a mountain of knives, a cauldron -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 汤刀锯解， 碎身作火聚， 此苦不为恶。 妄语大毒害， 烧坏天人福， 游行阿鼻狱， 刀轮为脚足， 铁毒蛇为舌， 口火烧大千， 眼如迸铁丸， 雨大镬汤雨， 烧灭善根花， 毕定堕恶道， 无量亿千劫， 求出无由脱。 如是大恶人， 举身是火山， 烧坏一切善。

“恶口者，口虽含香，臭如死尸，恒乐说他诸不善事，口所吐说如刺、如刀、如剑、如戟、如屎、如尿、如虫、如脓。天、人中香，无过善语；三界中臭，无过恶口。 “二者，恶口之人，口有所吐，如雨铁丸，烧坏他家，此人未来堕大地狱，热铁烧身，饮热铁汁；设生世间，作病癞狗及病癞人，无量劫中常食脓血，心所念者，纯是不善与恶相应。 “三者，两舌，其两舌人犹如水火，不作言作，他人作善，实言净语，狂横言非，他所不作，横为他作，一切世人常不乐见，必定当堕大恶道中，铜锯解舌，为数千段。 “四者，绮语，绮语者反上作下，反下作上，调戏无节，巧言利辞，说无益语、说不利语、说无义语，赞叹五欲语、心不明了语、黑暗语，如刺、如林，钩罥众生。此人恶报命终，当堕刺林地狱，百千铁刺钩其舌，出作百千段。 “五者，赞叹邪见，邪见之 人，口如盛火，烧诸善根，无父、无母、无佛、无法、无比丘僧、无阿罗汉、无辟支佛、无师、无友、无善知识。心如疾风，吹崩一切诸善根树，此是大贼。说无因果，口如大水，漫流三界，淫欲无度，调弄同类，造五无间，断绝般若，犯四重禁，至无间罪，皆从邪见、颠倒恶心。邪风吹动恶不善口，阿鼻狱火铁刺舌生。如此妄语、恶口、两舌、绮语、赞叹邪见，此大恶人虽在世间，四大所成、五阴严饰，当知地大即是铁山、刀林、剑树，百千铁刺，无数铁虫、铁嘴、诸乌、铁网、蒺车轹绝其身，当知水火即是融铜，无数镬汤是热铁丸，沸屎铁河以流节间，当知大小节节自然，犹如铜柱，众火同时从六根起，烧坏身心，堕大地狱，当知风大犹如雹雨，无数刀林百千剑树，动于支节从溪谷生，当知五阴即是五贼，十八罗刹系属狱种阎罗王民，识为热铁，状如融铜，满阿鼻狱，自高强健，多力恶口，骂詈诽谤毁呰人者，今安所在。” 佛告舍利弗：“恶口、妄语、两舌、绮语、赞邪见者，此人不为一人作贼，普为一切诸天、世人作大劫贼。譬如群贼威力自在，烧破一城，杀害一切及四天下一切人民。此人所得罪报，为多少耶？” 舍利弗白佛言：“世尊！此人所得罪，如须弥山不可称量。” 佛告舍利 现代汉语译本 人，口如燃烧的火焰，焚烧各种善根，不敬父母，不敬佛，不敬法，不敬比丘僧团，不敬阿罗汉（已证悟的圣者），不敬辟支佛（无师自悟者），不敬师长，不敬朋友，不敬善知识（能引导正道的人）。心如狂风，摧毁一切善根之树，这是个大盗贼。宣扬没有因果报应，口如洪水，泛滥三界，淫欲没有节制，玩弄同类，造作五种无间地狱的罪业，断绝般若（智慧），触犯四种根本重罪，导致堕入无间地狱的罪报，这一切都源于邪见和颠倒的恶心。邪风吹动这罪恶不善的口，阿鼻地狱的火焰和铁刺从舌头中生出。如此说妄语、恶语、两舌、绮语，赞叹邪见，这种大恶人虽然身在世间，由四大（地、水、火、风）所成，五阴（色、受、想、行、识）严饰，应当知道地大就是铁山、刀林、剑树，无数铁刺，无数铁虫、铁嘴乌鸦，铁网、蒺藜车碾压断绝他的身体，应当知道水火就是熔化的铜，无数镬汤和热铁丸，沸腾的粪便铁河在关节间流淌，应当知道大小关节自然分离，犹如铜柱，各种火焰同时从六根（眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意）生起，烧毁身心，堕入大地狱，应当知道风大犹如冰雹暴雨，无数刀林和成百上千的剑树，在四肢关节间移动，从溪谷中生出，应当知道五阴就是五个盗贼，十八罗刹（恶鬼）隶属于地狱的阎罗王管辖，识蕴化为炽热的铁，形状如熔化的铜，充满阿鼻地狱，自以为高强健壮，凭借强大的力量恶语相向，谩骂诽谤诋毁他人，如今身在何处呢？ 佛告诉舍利弗（佛陀的十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）:'恶口、妄语、两舌、绮语、赞叹邪见的人，这个人不只是对一个人作恶，而是普遍地对一切诸天和世人作大劫贼。譬如一群盗贼威力强大，烧毁一座城池，杀害一切众生以及四大天下的一切人民。这个人所得到的罪报，会有多少呢？' 舍利弗对佛说：'世尊！这个人所得到的罪报，如须弥山（佛教宇宙观中的圣山）一样不可称量。' 佛告诉舍利弗：

English version A person's mouth is like a blazing fire, burning all good roots, without respect for father, mother, Buddha, Dharma, the Sangha of Bhikshus, Arhats (enlightened saints), Pratyekabuddhas (self-enlightened ones), teachers, friends, or good advisors (those who guide on the right path). Their mind is like a violent wind, blowing down all trees of good roots; this is a great thief. They preach that there is no cause and effect, their mouth is like a great flood, overflowing the three realms, their lust is without measure, they manipulate their own kind, create the five unpardonable sins, sever prajna (wisdom), violate the four major precepts, leading to the sins of Avici Hell, all from evil views and inverted evil minds. The evil wind stirs the evil and unwholesome mouth, the flames and iron thorns of Avici Hell grow from the tongue. Such lying, harsh speech, divisive speech, frivolous speech, and praise of evil views, this great evil person, though in the world, composed of the four elements (earth, water, fire, wind), adorned with the five skandhas (form, feeling, perception, volition, consciousness), should know that the earth element is iron mountains, forests of knives, trees of swords, hundreds of thousands of iron thorns, countless iron insects, iron-beaked crows, iron nets, and caltrop carts crushing their body. They should know that the water and fire elements are molten copper, countless cauldrons of boiling water and hot iron balls, a river of boiling excrement flowing between their joints. They should know that the large and small joints naturally separate, like copper pillars, all kinds of fires simultaneously arise from the six senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind), burning and destroying body and mind, falling into the great hell. They should know that the wind element is like hail and rain, countless forests of knives and hundreds of thousands of trees of swords, moving in the limbs and joints, arising from the valleys. They should know that the five skandhas are the five thieves, the eighteen Rakshasas (demons) belong to the hellish Yama King's people, consciousness is like hot iron, shaped like molten copper, filling Avici Hell, self-righteous, strong, and healthy, with a powerful and evil mouth, cursing, slandering, and defaming others, where are they now?' The Buddha told Shariputra (one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, known for his wisdom): 'Those who speak harsh words, lies, divisive speech, frivolous speech, and praise evil views, this person does not just commit evil against one person, but universally acts as a great robber to all devas and people in the world. For example, a group of robbers with great power burns down a city, killing all beings and all the people in the four great continents. How much karmic retribution will this person receive?' Shariputra said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The karmic retribution this person receives is immeasurable, like Mount Sumeru (the sacred mountain in Buddhist cosmology).' The Buddha told Shariputra: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

弗：“此人虽复获大罪报，不如妄语、恶口、两舌、绮语、赞叹邪见，须臾所造获大重报，身坏命终堕大地狱，经无量劫受苦无穷，百千诸佛不能得救。诸佛观此谤法罪人，与十方界地狱俱生地狱俱灭，是故智者当摄身口！” 佛告舍利弗：“若有受持此十善戒，破十恶业，上生天上为梵天王，下生世间作转轮王，十善教化，永与地狱三恶道别，譬如流水至涅槃海；若有毁犯十善戒者，堕大地狱，经无量世受诸苦恼。舍利弗！汝好受持十善戒羯磨法，破十不善业。” 时舍利弗及诸大众，闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 佛说受十善戒经 现代汉语译本： 佛陀说：‘这个人即使遭受巨大的罪业报应，也不如妄语（说谎）、恶口（恶语伤人）、两舌（挑拨离间）、绮语（花言巧语）、赞叹邪见（赞美错误的观点）之人，他们短暂时间所造的罪业会获得极其严重的报应，身死命终后堕入大地狱，经历无量劫遭受无尽的痛苦，即使百千诸佛也无法救度。诸佛观察这些诽谤佛法的罪人，与十方世界的地狱同时产生，也与地狱同时消灭，因此智者应当约束自己的身口意！’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗（Śāriputra）：‘如果有人受持这十善戒，破除十恶业，往上可以升到天上成为梵天王（Brahmā），往下可以降生世间成为转轮王（cakravartin），用十善来教化众生，永远与地狱、饿鬼、畜生三恶道诀别，譬如流水最终流入涅槃（Nirvana）之海；如果有人毁犯十善戒，就会堕入大地狱，经历无量世遭受各种苦恼。舍利弗！你应当好好受持这十善戒的羯磨法（karma），破除十不善业。’ 当时，舍利弗（Śāriputra）以及所有大众，听闻佛陀所说，欢喜地接受并遵照奉行。 《佛说受十善戒经》

English version: The Buddha said: 'Even if this person receives a great retribution for their sins, it is not as severe as the retribution for those who engage in false speech (lying), harsh speech (abusive language), divisive speech (gossiping), frivolous speech (idle chatter), and praising wrong views (commending incorrect perspectives). The sins they create in a short time will bring extremely heavy retribution. After death, they will fall into the great hell, enduring endless suffering for countless kalpas (aeons), and even hundreds of thousands of Buddhas cannot save them. The Buddhas observe these sinners who slander the Dharma (Buddhist teachings), they are born together with the hells of the ten directions and perish together with the hells. Therefore, the wise should restrain their body, speech, and mind!' The Buddha told Śāriputra (舍利弗): 'If someone upholds these Ten Good Precepts, breaks the Ten Evil Deeds, they can ascend to heaven to become Brahmā (梵天王), or descend into the world to become a cakravartin (转轮王), using the Ten Goodnesses to teach sentient beings, forever parting from the three evil paths of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals, like flowing water eventually entering the sea of Nirvana (涅槃). If someone violates the Ten Good Precepts, they will fall into the great hell, enduring all kinds of suffering for countless lifetimes. Śāriputra! You should diligently uphold this karma (羯磨) method of the Ten Good Precepts and break the Ten Unwholesome Deeds.' At that time, Śāriputra (舍利弗) and all the assembly, hearing what the Buddha said, joyfully accepted and practiced it.
