法苑珠林 87.14

87.14

"Not killing brings longevity, / Freedom from illness, and constant liberation; / All attain heavenly status, / With body at peace and an aura arriving. / Not stealing brings constant great wealth, / With money, property, and jewels appearing naturally; / Palaces are made of the seven treasures, / And one's mind constantly rejoices. / If men and women both do not engage in sexual misconduct, / Their bodies will be fragrant, clean, and pure; / Wherever they are born, they are always handsome and upright, / And their virtuous conduct naturally shines forth. / Not deceiving brings fragrant breath, / And speech that is always intelligent; / In discussion, one does not stammer, / And what one speaks, the multitude receives and follows. / When wine and intoxicating food do not pass the lips, / There is no mistaken or bewildered thought; / In whatever place one is born, / Gods and humans will constantly attend and serve. / When one's life comes to an end, / Twenty-five spirits will welcome one; / The five blessings will arrive naturally, / And one's aura will be exceedingly brilliant."
