English

English version When the multitude abandons their true nature and speaks falsely at any of the three times (past, present, future) or two times (past, future), this is called the root (fundamental false speech). If, beforehand, they elaborately prepare, embellish their words, or receive instructions from others and go elsewhere to spread rumors, this is called expedient (expedient false speech, i.e., preparation for achieving the goal). If, after the matter is accomplished, they receive wealth, give it away at will, enjoy it with delight, have no shame, feel no remorse, praise themselves, and become arrogant, this is called accomplished (completed false speech). In false speech, if there is mixed divisive language that can destroy harmony, this is called the root (fundamental divisive speech). If one speaks of others' faults and other bad things, saying that those who are harmonious will surely have problems, and that if discord is successfully sown, good things will happen, this is called expedient (expedient divisive speech, i.e., preparation for sowing discord). If harmony is broken, they receive wealth from others, give it away at will, enjoy it with delight, have no shame, feel no remorse, praise themselves, and become greatly arrogant, this is called accomplished (completed divisive speech). If one changes their expression and curses with harsh words, this is called the root (fundamental harsh speech). If one hears of others' sins, embellishes their words, and goes elsewhere intending to speak of these evils, this is called expedient (expedient harsh speech, i.e., preparation for cursing). If, after cursing, they receive wealth from others, give it away at will, enjoy it with delight, have no shame, feel no remorse, praise themselves, and become greatly arrogant, this is called accomplished (completed harsh speech). If one speaks of lustful matters or untimely words, this is called the root (fundamental frivolous speech). If one sings or chants meaningless verses, creating all sorts of things to please others, this is called expedient (expedient frivolous speech, i.e., preparation for pleasing others). If, after instigating others, they receive wealth, give it away at will, enjoy it with delight, have no shame, feel no remorse, praise themselves, and become greatly arrogant, this is called accomplished (completed frivolous speech). If one develops a greedy desire to obtain others' wealth, this is called the root (fundamental greed). Arousing a mind of affliction is called expedient (expedient greed, i.e., preparation for obtaining wealth). After acting and obtaining wealth, giving it away at will, enjoying it with delight, and boasting to others, having no shame, feeling no remorse, praising themselves, and becoming greatly arrogant, this is called accomplished (completed greed). If one beats and scolds others, this is called the root (fundamental anger). If one takes up a stick or stone and questions their faults, this is called expedient (expedient anger, i.e., preparation for beating others). After beating them and feeling joy, receiving wealth, giving it away at will, enjoying it with delight, having no shame, feeling no remorse, praising themselves, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Arrogance, this is called ‘accomplished’. If one slanders karma, causality, the true Dharma (ultimate truth), or virtuous and noble people, this is called ‘fundamental’. If one reads, writes, and believes in heretical books, praising and extolling them, this is called ‘expedient means’. After accepting them, one explains and expounds them to others, increasing their wrong views, receiving evil wealth, giving it away arbitrarily, enjoying it with joy, without shame or remorse, praising oneself, and generating great arrogance, this is called ‘accomplished’. ‘Or again, someone may commit two of the ten unwholesome karmic paths at the same time: false speech and divisive speech. Or three at the same time: namely, false speech, divisive speech, and harsh speech. Or again, there are three: namely, wrong views, harsh speech, and false speech. To say it like this is meaningless; this is called four. Anger and greed cannot arise at the same time. The remaining eight can arise at the same time. How can they arise at the same time? The six senses (six entrances) send messengers, and one does two things oneself: first, committing adultery with another's wife, and second, saying there is no karmic consequence; after making a prior agreement, one obtains the karma at the same time. These ten unwholesome karmas, some can produce form (visible form), without non-formative karma (invisible karmic force), and some have formative karma and non-formative karma. If there are no expedient means and accomplishment, then there is only formative karma and no non-formative karma; if there is preparation and accomplishment, then there is formative karma and non-formative karma. These ten karmic paths have lightness and heaviness: if one kills one's parents or a Pratyekabuddha (Solitary Buddha), steals the property of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), engages in unchaste conduct with one's mother or an Arhatini (female Arhat), or falsely speaks to destroy the Sangha, this is called a heavy offense. ‘Good man! These ten karmic paths each have three types: first, arising from greed; second, arising from anger; third, arising from delusion. If one harms life for the sake of greed, this is called arising from greed; if one kills an enemy, this is called arising from anger; killing one's elderly parents is called arising from delusion. Robbing and stealing others' property also has three types: for oneself, one's wife, and one's family, coveting others' property and robbing it, this is called arising from greed; stealing the property of an enemy, this is called arising from anger; robbing people of lower status, this is called arising from delusion. Sexual misconduct also has three types: if one engages in unchaste conduct (improper sexual behavior) for one's own pleasure, this is called arising from greed; committing adultery with the relatives of an enemy, this is called arising from anger; with --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The mother who gives birth engages in non-brahmacharya (impure conduct), this is called arising from ignorance. False speech is of three kinds: if for the sake of wealth and enjoyment of pleasure, this is called arising from greed; to destroy enemies, this is called arising from hatred; if fearing the death of others, this is called arising from ignorance. Divisive speech is of three kinds: for the sake of wealth and benefit, this is called arising from greed; to destroy enemies, this is called arising from hatred; destroying the harmonious assembly of wrong views, this is called arising from ignorance. Harsh speech is of three kinds: for the sake of wealth and benefit, scolding wives and children, this is called arising from greed; intentionally speaking evil things to enemies, this is called arising from hatred; speaking of the past faults and sins of others' ancestors, this is called arising from ignorance. Meaningless speech is also of three kinds: if for the sake of joy, singing, shouting, and making noise, this is called arising from greed; to overcome others, singing, shouting, and making noise, this is called arising from hatred; to increase wrong views, singing, shouting, and making noise, this is called arising from ignorance. That which arises from greed is called jealousy; that which arises from hatred is called hatred; that which arises from ignorance is called wrong view. 'Having cultivated the ten good deeds, in each matter, one obtains three liberations. These ten evil deeds will definitely result in the retribution of hell, or one may fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, or one may fall into the realm of animals; the remaining retributions are obtaining a short life in the human realm, being poor and lacking wealth, having an unchaste wife, one's words not being believed by others, having no close and kind people, constantly being slandered, never hearing good and virtuous words, being able to cause the four great elements of external things to decline, having no truth, evil winds and heavy rains, rotting and decaying, uneven land, lacking the seven treasures, having many stones, sand, thorns, and evil prickles, the changes of seasons having no constant pattern, fruits being scarce and unripe, and flavors not being complete. If one wishes to destroy such things, one should sincerely cultivate the ten good deeds. These ten good dharmas are complete in the three worlds, either being included in precepts or not being included in precepts; in Uttarakuru (one of the four continents) there are only four matters; in hell there are five; in the realms of hungry ghosts, animals, and heavens, all ten are complete, not being included in precepts. The six heavens of the desire realm have no expedient means, only the fundamental and accomplished two matters. 'The path of karma arises in a single thought. For example, in killing, if the one who can be killed and the one who kills both die, then one cannot obtain the fundamental karmic result. If one performs decorative matters,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
