辯正論 1.15

1.15

原夫釋氏之教也。勸之以善。化之以仁。行不殺以止殺。斷其殺業。以斷殺故而民畏罪。王者為政。閉之以獄。齊之以刑。將殺以止殺。不斷殺業。以不斷故而民弗禁。智度論云。殺有十罪。一者心常懷毒世世不絕。二者眾生憎惡眼不喜見。三者常懷惡念思惟惡事。四者眾生惡之如見毒蛇。五者睡時心怖覺亦不安。六者常有惡夢。七者命終之時狂怖惡死。八者種短命業。九者身壞命終在泥犁中。十者若出為人常當貧窮短命矣。

"Now, considering the teaching of the Śākya clan: it urges by means of goodness, transforms by means of benevolence, practices not killing to put an end to killing, and cuts off the karma of killing. Because the karma of killing is cut off, the people fear transgression. When kings administer governance, they confine people in prisons and regulate them with punishments, intending to use killing to put an end to killing. They do not cut off the karma of killing. Because it is not cut off, the people are not restrained. The Da zhidu lun says: 'Killing has ten crimes: first, the mind constantly harbors malice without interruption across lifetimes; second, sentient beings detest and take no joy in seeing the person; third, the mind constantly harbors evil thoughts and contemplates evil matters; fourth, sentient beings abhor the person as though seeing a poisonous snake; fifth, during sleep the mind is terrified, and waking is also uneasy; sixth, the person constantly has nightmares; seventh, at the end of life, the person dies in madness, terror, and misery; eighth, the person plants the karma of a short lifespan; ninth, upon the destruction of the body and the end of life, the person falls into niraya; tenth, if reborn as a human, the person will constantly be poor and short-lived.'"
