The section on hell is about the path of hell, where one experiences suffering due to one's evil deeds, being dragged along by one's karma. | 地狱品者，道泥犁] cf.【丽】事，作恶受恶，罪牵不置。 |
The hell of lying is near, doing it but saying you
didn't, two sins to be received later, this action drags you there.
| 妄语地狱近， 作之言不作，二罪后俱受， 是行自牵往。
|
The Dharma robes are on their bodies, yet they commit evil without
restraint. If they indulge in evil deeds, they will eventually fall into hell.
| 法衣在其身， 为恶不自禁，苟没恶行者， 终则堕地狱。
|
How can they not harm themselves by accepting offerings without precepts?
After death, they eat burning iron balls, hotter than burning charcoal.
| 无戒受供养， 理岂不自损？死噉烧铁丸， 然热剧火炭。
|
There are four things in indulgence: Liking to violate others' wives
lying in danger, not benefiting, slandering the Three, and indulging in sex.
| 放逸有四事： 好犯他人妇、卧险非福利、 毁三、淫泆四。
|
Not benefiting, falling into evil, fearing evil, fearing few
pleasures, heavily punished by royal law, dying, entering hell.
| 不福利堕恶， 畏恶、畏乐寡，王法重罚加， 身死入地狱。
|
It is like pulling a reed, if held loosely, the hand is injured. If
one studies precepts but does not restrain oneself, the prison record will then be self-destructive.
| 譬如拔菅草， 执缓则伤手，学戒不禁制， 狱录乃自贼。
|
If one's conduct is lazy and indolent, unable to eliminate various afflictions, the
practice of purity will be flawed, one will ultimately not receive great blessings.
| 人行为慢惰， 不能除众劳，梵行有玷缺， 终不受大福。
|
Always practice what should be practiced, uphold oneself and make it strong
stay far away from non-Buddhists, do not cultivate as dust and defilements.
| 常行所当行， 自持必令强，远离诸外道， 莫习为尘垢。
|
Doing what should not be done, then leading to great harm, practicing goodness is
always auspicious and in accord, wherever one goes, there is no regret or stinginess.
| 为所不当为， 然后致欝毒，行善常吉顺， 所适无悔恡。
|
For those who wish to do or have done various evil deeds
this suffering is incomprehensible, the sin is close and difficult to avoid.
| 其于众恶行， 欲作若已作，是苦不可解， 罪近难得避。
|
Falsely seeking defeat, having already acted improperly, slandering good people and unjustly
punishing scholars, the sin binds these people, throwing themselves into a pit.
| 妄证求败， 行已不正，怨谮良人，以抂治士，罪缚斯人， 自投于坑。
|
Like a border city, the inside and outside are firmly guarded. Guarding one's own mind, unrighteousness does
not arise. If one's conduct is deficient, it will cause worry and lead to falling into hell.
| 如备边城， 中外牢固，自守其心，非法不生，行缺致忧， 令堕地狱。
|
Shameless and not ashamed,
ashamed of what should not be ashamed. Born with wrong views, one will fall into hell after death;
| 可羞不羞， 非羞反羞，生为邪见，死堕地狱；
|
Fearful and not fearful, fearful of what should not be feared
Believing in wrong views, one will fall into hell after death;
| 可畏不畏， 非畏反畏，信向邪见， 死堕地狱。
|
Avoidable and not avoidable,
not approaching what should be approached. Indulging in wrong views, one will fall into hell after death;
| 可避不避，可就不就，玩习邪见， 死堕地狱；
|
Approachable and approachable,
avoidable and avoidable. Always upholding right views, one will fall into the good paths after death;
| 可近则近， 可远则远，恒守正见，死堕善道。
