法苑珠林 76.59

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [76.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.76.59)

有墮餓鬼中　火焰從口出  
四向發大聲　是為口過報  
雖復多聞見　在大眾說法  
以不成信業　人皆不信受  
若欲廣名聞　為人所信受  
是故當至誠　不應作綺語

> "There are those who fall among hungry ghosts, / Flames bursting forth from their mouths, / Shouting loudly in all four directions: / This is the retribution for verbal faults. / Even though one may have heard and seen much, / Preaching the Dharma in great assemblies, / Because one has not fulfilled the karma of trustworthiness, / People will not believe or accept it. / If you desire widespread renown / And wish to be trusted and accepted by others, / Therefore you must be sincere / And should not engage in frivolous speech."
