勸發菩提心集 2.13

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1862.2.13)

佛說妄語有十罪，何等為十？一口氣臭。二者善神遠之，非人得便。三者雖有實語，人不信受。四者智人謀議，常不參預。五者常被誹謗，醜惡之聲，周聞天下。六者人所不敬，雖有教勅，人不承用。七者常多憂愁。八者種誹謗業。九者死墮地獄。十出得為人，常被誹謗。如是種種故不應妄語。

> The Buddha taught that false speech has ten offenses. What are the ten? First, one's breath is foul. Second, good spirits keep their distance from him, and non-humans gain an advantage \[over him\]. Third, even when he speaks the truth, people do not believe or accept it. Fourth, when wise persons deliberate, he is never included. Fifth, he is constantly slandered, and an evil reputation spreads throughout the world. Sixth, he is not respected by others; even if he gives instructions, people do not follow them. Seventh, he is constantly beset by much sorrow. Eighth, he plants the karma of slander. Ninth, upon death he falls into hell. Tenth, if he emerges and is born as a human, he is constantly slandered. For various reasons such as these, one should not utter false speech.
