經律異相 28.5

28.5

The virtue of the precepts can be relied upon;
Karmic reward always accompanies oneself.
Seeing the Dharma, one becomes a leader of men,
And remains forever far from the three bad destinies.

Vigilance in the precepts removes suffering and fear;
Their reward is honored across the three realms.
Demons, dragons, and evil poisons
Do not harm the person who keeps the precepts.
