經律異相 47.32

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [47.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2121.47.32)

若信是惡人　則速別離去  
當懷其愁憂　瞋恨不離心  
凡為善知識　不以他語難  
不信欲除者　若信他別離  
則為其所食　不信兩舌者  
還共作和合　所懷相向說  
心淨言柔濡　應作善知識  
和合如水乳　今此弊小蟲  
生來性自惡　一頭而兩舌

> "If one believes this evil fellow, / One will quickly become estranged and depart; / One will harbor grief and sorrow, / And anger will not leave the mind. / Generally, those who are good friends / Are not troubled by another's words; / Do not believe one who wishes to eliminate \[our friendship\]. / If one believes another and becomes estranged, / One will then be devoured by him. / Not believing the two-tongued one, / Come together again in harmony. / Speak to each other what is in your hearts / With pure minds and gentle words; / One should act as a good friend, / Harmonious as milk and water. / Now this base little vermin / Was born with a naturally evil disposition: / With one head, it speaks with two tongues."
