法苑珠林 89.39

89.39

佛言。休息貪欲獲十種功德。何等為十。一身根不缺。二口業清淨。三意不散亂。四得勝果報。五得大富貴。六眾人樂觀。七所得果報眷屬不可破壞。八常與明人相會。九不離法聲。十身壞命終得生善道。諸仁者。是名休息貪欲得十種功德。若能以此善根迴向無上菩提。是人不久得無上智到菩提時。於彼國土離於魔怨及諸外道。

The Buddha said, 'By refraining from covetous desire, one obtains ten kinds of merits. What are the ten? First, one's physical faculties are unimpaired. Second, one's bodily and vocal karma is pure. Third, the mind is not scattered. Fourth, one attains superior retributions. Fifth, one attains great wealth and honor. Sixth, the multitude of people take pleasure in beholding one. Seventh, one's obtained retributions and retinue cannot be ruined. Eighth, one constantly meets with wise people. Ninth, one is not separated from the sound of the Dharma. 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 covetous desire. If one can dedicate these roots of goodness toward unsurpassable bodhi, before long, when this person attains unsurpassable wisdom and reaches bodhi, that land will be free from māra enemies and all non-Buddhists.'
