法苑珠林 76.24

76.24

惡口多觸忤　地獄被燒然
人中有餘報　還聞刀釰言
設令有談論　諍訟被他怨
往報甘心受　改惡善自鮮

"Harsh speech causes much offense and provocation; / In hell, one is burned and scorched. / In the human realm, there remains residual retribution: / One hears words like swords and knives in return. / Even if one engages in discussion, / One incurs lawsuits and resentment from others. / Cheerfully endure past retributions; / Transform evil, and goodness will naturally shine."
