勸發菩提心集 2.101

2.101

《玉耶經》云：佛告玉耶：「女人不當自恃端政，輕慢夫婿。何者端正？去邪態八十四垢，定意一心是為端正，不以顏色面白髮綵為端政也。女人身中有十惡事。何等為十？一者、女人初生墮地父母不喜。二者、育養視無滋味。三者、女人心常畏人。四者、父母恒憂嫁娶。五者、與父母生相離別。六者、常畏夫聟視其顏色，歡悅輒喜嗔恚則懼。七者、懷姙產生甚難。八者、女人少為父母所撿錄。九者、中為婿禁制。十者、年老為兒孫所呵，從生至終不得自在。是為十惡。」

The Sūtra of Yuye says: The Buddha told Yuye: 'A woman should not rely upon her upright beauty to be haughty and contemptuous toward her husband. What constitutes upright beauty? Dispensing with perverse manners and the eighty-four defilements, having a settled thought and single mind—this is upright beauty; it is not having a fair complexion or splendid hair and robes that constitutes upright beauty. In a woman's body there are ten evil things. What are the ten? First, when a woman is first born and falls to the ground, the parents are not pleased. Second, raising and nursing her offers no relish. Third, a woman's mind is constantly fearful of others. Fourth, parents are constantly worried over her marriage. Fifth, she must undergo separation from her parents while still alive. Sixth, she constantly fears her husband and watches his expression: if he is pleased she is immediately glad; if he is angry she is terrified. Seventh, pregnancy and childbirth are exceedingly difficult. Eighth, in youth a woman is restrained by her parents. Ninth, in midlife she is restricted by her husband. Tenth, in old age she is scolded by her children and grandchildren; from birth to death she never attains self-mastery. These are the ten evil things.'
