妙法蓮華經玄義 6.201

6.201

若慳貪諂媚，邀射名聞，內無實德，欲人稱美；此惡起戒伏，墮於鬼中。若無慚愧，負債不還，無恭敬心，憍慢瞋忿，貪婪饕餮；此惡起戒伏，墮畜生道。若嫉賢妬能，為勝他故而修福力，蛆毒惡心，方便墜陷，驚怖於他；是惡起戒伏，墮阿脩羅業。欲離此三惡心，成就戒善，善有可發關宜之機，聖用赴對應之。惡心豁破，戒善完具，此名四趣因壞、人天因成，獲冥顯兩益。此約人道修因，作此釋耳。

If one is stingy, greedy, and flatteringly obsequious, aiming for fame, lacking real virtue within while wanting people to praise oneself, when this evil arises, the precepts are suppressed, and one falls among the ghosts. If one lacks shame and conscience, defaults on debts without repaying, lacks reverence, is arrogant and wrathful, greedy and gluttonous, when this evil arises, the precepts are suppressed, and one falls into the animal destiny. If one is envious of the worthy and jealous of the capable, cultivating meritorious power merely to surpass others, harboring a malicious mind like poisonous maggots, contriving means to trap and terrify others, when this evil arises, the precepts are suppressed, and one falls into the karma of asuras. If one wishes to abandon these three evil minds and accomplish precepts and goodness, when goodness has a capacity that can be stimulated when conditions are fitting, the sagely function responds accordingly. The evil mind is decisively shattered, precepts and goodness are fully perfected—this is called the destruction of the causes of the four destinies and the completion of the causes of humans and gods, obtaining both hidden and manifest benefits. This explanation is made with reference to cultivating causes in the human destiny.
