89.33

佛言。休息偷盜獲十種功德。何等為十。一具大果報為事決斷。二所有財物不共他有。三不共五家四眾人愛敬無有厭足。五游行諸方無有留難。六行來無畏。七以樂布施。八不求財寶自然速得。九得財不散。十身壞命終得生善道。諸仁者。是名休息偷盜得十種功德。若能以此善根迴向無上菩提。是人不久到菩提時。於彼國土具足種種華果樹林衣服瓔珞莊嚴之具。珍奇寶物無不充滿。

The Buddha said, 'By refraining from stealing, one obtains ten kinds of merits. What are the ten? First, one is endowed with great retribution and is decisive in handling affairs. Second, all one's material possessions are not shared by others. Third, they are not shared with the five houses. Fourth, the four assemblies of people love and respect one without feeling sated. Fifth, when traveling in all directions, there are no hindrances. Sixth, one comes and goes without fear. Seventh, one takes joy in giving. Eighth, without seeking wealth and treasures, one quickly obtains them naturally. Ninth, wealth obtained does not disperse. Tenth, upon the dissolution of the body and the end of life, one is reborn in wholesome destinies. Virtuous ones, this is called obtaining ten kinds of merits by refraining from stealing. If one can dedicate these roots of goodness toward unsurpassable bodhi, before long, when this person reaches bodhi, in that land there will be a complete abundance of various flower and fruit trees and forests, clothing, and necklace ornaments; rare and marvelous treasures will completely fill it.'
