Thus have I heard: | 如是我闻： |
At one time the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in the Jeta Grove near Śrāvastī. | 一时，佛住舍卫国祇树给孤独园。 |
At that time the World-Honored One told the bhikṣus, "There are causes of evil karma, evil intentions, and evil views. When such beings' bodies perish and their lives end, they will definitely fall into the evil realms of hell. It is like a round bead thrown into the air, rolling on the ground when it falls, not staying in one place. In the same way, due to the causes of evil karma, evil intentions, and evil views, when the body perishes and life ends, one will definitely fall into hell, with no place to stay. | 尔时，世尊告诸比丘：「有恶业因、恶心因、恶见因，如是众生身坏命终，必堕恶趣泥犁中。譬如圆珠，掷著空中，落地流转，不一处住。如是，恶业因、恶心因、恶见因，身坏命终，必堕地狱，中无住处。 |
What is evil karma? It refers to killing, up to frivolous speech..." and so on, as explained above. "This is called evil karma. What is an evil mind? It refers to a mind of greed and anger..." and so on, as explained above. "This is called an evil mind. What are evil views? It refers to wrong and inverted..." and so on, as explained above. "This is called evil views. These are called the causes of evil karma, evil mind, and evil views. When the body perishes and life ends, one will definitely be reborn in the evil realms of hell. The causes of good karma, good mind, and good views, when the body perishes and life ends, one will definitely be reborn in the good realms of heaven. | 「云何为恶业？谓杀生，乃至绮语……」如上广说，「是名恶业。云何恶心？谓贪恚心……」如上广说，「是名恶心。云何恶见？谓邪颠倒……」如上广说，「是名恶见。是名恶业因、恶心因、恶见因，身坏命终，必生恶趣泥犁中；善业因、善心因、善见因，身坏命终，必生善趣天上。 |
Brahmin! What is good karma? It refers to refraining from killing, not enjoying killing, up to not speaking frivolously. This is called good karma. What is a good mind? It refers to non-greed and non-anger. This is called a good mind. What is good view? It refers to right view, not inverted, up to seeing the non-acceptance of future existence. This is called good view. These are called the causes of good karma, good mind, and good view. When the body perishes and life ends, one will be reborn in heaven. It is like a four-sided gem thrown into the air, landing wherever it falls. In the same way, these three good causes, wherever one is reborn, will be at ease. | 「婆罗门！云何为善业？谓离杀生、不乐杀生，乃至不绮语，是名善业。云何善心？谓不贪、不恚，是名心善。云何为见善？谓正见不颠倒，乃至见不受后有，是名见善。是名业善因、心善因、见善因，身坏命终，得生天上。譬如四方摩尼珠，掷著空中，随堕则安；如是彼三善因，所在受生，随处则安。」 |
The Buddha spoke this sūtra. The bhikṣus, having heard the Buddha's words, rejoiced and upheld them. | 佛说如是经已，诸比丘闻佛所说，欢喜奉行。 |
