謂由彼作意，常造諸罪惡，

愚癡不了知，徒生於後悔。

眾生造諸罪，皆受於苦報，

是故當遠離，常求於樂果。

初雖作少罪，後則墮險道，

由癡覆彼心，出已而復造。

小罪不防護，皆為地獄因，

譬如微少火，能燒於山林。

由罪生惡趣，受極重苦惱，

彼於己如冤，何能得寂靜？

若人造諸罪，則無有少樂，

若樂求樂者，當修諸善行。

作善稱善哉，造惡皆輕毀，

修福乃為難，於罪何容易！

若見造非法，生劣心隨喜，

由彼無智故，受苦復過是。

若人造眾罪，積集諸果報，

是苦難堪任，於惡不應作。

由造眾惡故，定受其惡報，

是故當遠離，不作則無咎。

若不怖諸罪，則習近惡友，

由自造作故，感果非佗受。

行善招善果，作惡受惡報，

若造眾罪者，於善則無有。

若人著邪見，展轉生諸罪，

雖刀杖火坑，無與彼相似。

若人離眾惡，常修於善行，

身語意清淨，去菩提不遠。

若樂造諸惡，受極重苦惱，

非由造惡故，而能得樂果。

若樂修諸善，得最上快樂，

此善非苦因，無顛倒受者。

從無始劫來，作善得樂報，

若造彼惡因，定獲於苦果。

為善親良朋，造罪近惡友，

憎嫉賢善人，彼則墮惡道。

心若樂修善，則遠諸罪惡，

是人於菩提，如掌中不遠。

謂於所修作，初中後皆善，

能生於樂報，捨此則不然。

是故遠諸罪，令善常相續，

能離彼惡者，常獲於快樂。

無始生死中，數數受諸罪，

愚夫癡所使，而不生疲厭。

著欲造諸惡，不知後苦果，

暫生於適悅，長時受苦惱。

樂作諸罪者，世間共輕鄙，

是故離諸惡，於善無令廢。

無益非究竟，受最上苦惱，

是故彼智者，於罪常遠離。

若人具慈心，則不造諸罪，

為惡自招殃，不作則不受。

常造諸罪惡，依邪師邪教，

若離彼二種，善住真實道。

愚夫不覺知，樂造諸惡行，

若離彼過失，常生於勝處。

若樂作眾罪，定為業所牽，

不怖後輪迴，於人身難得。

若人怖諸罪，多樂作諸善，

彼能趣菩提，得最上妙樂。

若能離諸過，能修諸善業，

是人於世間，獲第一福報。

善降伏諸根，為世所尊重，

盡此一報身，得生於天中。

若人鮮福德，無初中後善，

罪惡常增長，則墮於地獄。

若造作眾罪，自招其惡果，

作善如所見，定受於樂報。

由不善種子，後生於險難，

如昔所作業，因果皆相似。

眾生墮惡趣，皆由罪所召，

如魚吞彼鉤，無因而得免。

罪為苦之根，畢竟當除斷，

眾生常染習，如具隨不淨。

常習當愛樂，能破諸惡業，

譬如壓胡麻，華壞香不散。

常樂著五樂，散亂無安忍，

懈怠虛妄言，彼則定無善。

若造眾惡者，如長夜黑暗，

若安住善法，如旭日出現。

若人無嫉妬，此為善淨行，

愚癡作眾罪，彼則常忿怒。

如舡載少物，所至則能浮，

眾生罪若輕，則免沈諸惡。

遠離惡知識，常獲諸快樂，

於彼若隨順，則受諸險難。

善了知業報，離微細毀犯，

是人不著罪，如空泥不染。

未聞者令聞，聞已能憶念，

惡趣尚生天，何況具智者？

Driven by their own thoughts, people constantly do evil deeds. Foolish and ignorant, they only feel regret later—but it’s useless. Living beings create all sorts of wrongs, and they all suffer the painful results. Therefore, one should avoid wrongdoing and always seek the joyful fruit of good actions.

A small offense at first leads to a dangerous path later. Foolishness clouds the mind; after slipping, they fall again into the same trap. If you don’t guard against even small misdeeds, they become the cause of hell. Like a tiny spark that can burn down a whole forest.

From wrongdoing, you fall into lower realms, suffering immense pain. How can someone who treats themselves like an enemy ever find peace? If people commit evil, they never know true happiness. Those who truly want joy should cultivate wholesome deeds.

Doing good brings praise; doing evil invites contempt. Cultivating virtue is hard; how can wrongdoing be easy? If you see others breaking the rules and feel bad joy in your heart, your lack of wisdom will make you suffer even more than they do.

If people pile up evil deeds, they will reap the bitter harvest. This suffering is unbearable—so do not do wrong. Because evil acts inevitably bring their own punishment, avoid them! If you don’t commit the act, you won’t bear the result.

If you aren’t afraid of wrongdoing, you’ll be drawn to bad friends. The fruit of your actions is yours alone; no one else tastes it for you. Good deeds attract good results; evil deeds attract evil results. If you create many offenses, goodness has no place in you.

If people cling to harmful views, they spin out more and more wrongs. No sword, no club, no pit of fire is as terrible as that. If you let go of all evil and always cultivate good, your body, speech, and mind will be pure—Enlightenment won’t be far away.

Those who delight in evil will suffer severe pain. By doing evil, can you ever get a happy result? If you enjoy doing good, you gain the highest joy. This goodness isn’t a cause of suffering; there’s no confusion about who receives it.

Since beginningless time, doing good brings happy results. Plant the cause of evil, and you’ll surely harvest bitter fruit. Doing good attracts good friends; committing sin attracts evil companions. Hating and envying virtuous people—that leads to falling into lower realms.

If your heart delights in virtue, you distance yourself from all wrongdoing. For such a person, Enlightenment is as close as the palm of their hand. In everything you do, let the beginning, middle, and end be good. That brings happiness. Turn away from this, and it won’t.

So, turn away from sin; let goodness flow continuously. Those who reject evil constantly enjoy true happiness. Through endless cycles of birth and death, again and again, people pay for their wrongs. Fools, driven by ignorance, never grow weary in this.

Driven by desire, they commit evil, unaware of the future pain. A moment of shallow pleasure brings long-lasting suffering. Those who love doing wrong are despised by everyone. Therefore, abandon evil; don’t let virtue decay.

Harmful things lead to no lasting good, only the worst suffering. Therefore, wise people always keep away from wrongdoing. If you have a heart of compassion, you won’t create offenses. Evil brings its own disaster; if you don’t act, you don’t receive.

Always doing evil, following false teachers and false teachings— if you let go of those two, you’ll live well on the true path. Fools don’t realize this; they love doing harmful deeds. If you abandon these mistakes, you constantly dwell in higher realms.

If you delight in doing evil, you’ll definitely be dragged by your karma. Without fear of the next life, you waste the precious chance of being human. If you fear wrongdoing, you’ll focus on doing good. Such a person moves toward Enlightenment and gains the highest joy.

If you can let go of mistakes and cultivate good actions, you will be truly blessed—the best fortune in this world. Whoever masters their senses earns the respect of the world. Once they finish this life, they are born in the heavenly realms.

If you lack merit and do nothing that is good from start to finish, your crimes keep growing, and you fall into hell. If you create a mass of offenses, you bring yourself the bitter result. Do good—as you see—and you’ll surely receive a happy result.

Like seeds that aren’t good, they produce a dangerous harvest later. Just as you act, so the result matches—cause and effect are perfectly alike. All beings fall into lower realms because wrongdoing calls them there. Like a fish swallowing a hook, there’s no escape for no reason.

Wrongdoing is the root of all suffering—cut it off completely. Living beings are always stained by it, like a tool covered in dirt. Practice what is wholesome with steady joy—it can destroy all evil deeds. Like pressing sesame seeds: the flower breaks, but the fragrance remains.

Constantly chasing the five pleasures leads to distraction, no patience, laziness, and false speech. Such a person will surely lack genuine goodness. If you commit evil, it’s like a long dark night. If you live in goodness, it’s like the rising sun.

If you don’t feel envy, that’s a pure and wholesome life. Ignorance drives people to many wrongs, and they are always angry. Like a boat carrying a light load floats easily to its destination, if your burden of wrongs is light, you won’t drown in evil.

Stay away from bad friends, and you’ll always find happiness. If you follow them, you’ll face all kinds of dangers. Understand cause and effect well, and avoid even subtle mistakes. Such a person is not stained by wrongdoing, like space untouched by mud.

Hear what you haven’t heard; remember what you’ve learned. Even those who fall to lower realms can be reborn in heaven— how much more those who are truly wise?
