經律異相 25.25

25.25

實語第一戒　實語昇天梯
實語小人大　妄語入地獄
我今守實語　寧棄身壽命
心無有悔恨

"Truthful speech is the foremost precept;
Truthful speech is a ladder to ascend to heaven.
Truthful speech makes a small person great;
False speech leads into hell.
I now preserve truthful speech,
Preferring to cast away body and life,
With no regret in my mind."
