梵網經菩薩戒本疏 3.22

3.22

第七、得果者，遮罪報如下文。顯其性罪，得三種果。《十地經》云：「妄語之罪，亦令眾生墮於地獄、畜生、餓鬼。若生人中，得二種果報：一、多被誹謗，二、恒多人所誑。」《對法論》中更加增上果，謂種不結實。又《智論》十五：「如佛所說，妄語有十罪：一、口氣嗅；二、善神遠之，非人得便；三、雖有實語，人不信受；四、智人謀議，常不參預；五、常被誹謗，醜惡之聲周聞天下；六、人所不敬，雖有教勅，人不承用；七、常多憂愁；八、種誹謗業因緣；九、身壞命終，當墮地獄；十、若生為人，常被誹謗。」

Seventh, the karmic fruition. The retribution for the offense of prohibition is as discussed below. Showing its inherent offense, one obtains three kinds of fruition. The Daśabhūmika Sūtra says: 'The offense of false speech also causes sentient beings to fall into hell, the animal realm, and the hungry ghost realm. If born among humans, one obtains two kinds of retributions: first, being frequently slandered; second, constantly being deceived by many people.' In the Abhidharmasamuccaya, the predominant fruition (adhipati-phala) is further added: namely, the seeds do not bear fruit. Furthermore, the Dazhidulun, chapter 15, states: 'As the Buddha said, false speech has ten offenses: 1. Foul breath; 2. Good deities depart from one and non-humans find their opportunity; 3. Even when speaking true words, people do not believe or accept them; 4. When wise persons deliberate, one never participates; 5. One is constantly slandered, with an ugly and evil reputation spreading throughout the world; 6. One is not respected by others, and even if one issues instructions, people do not follow them; 7. One constantly has much worry and sorrow; 8. One plants the karmic causes and conditions for slander; 9. At the breakup of the body and the end of life, one will fall into hell; 10. If born as a human, one is constantly slandered.'
