14.20

又正法念經云。何名盜。若人思惟。欲令種種穀麥我獨成就。令世間人五穀不登。常作如是不善思惟。復於異時。眾生薄福。田苗不收。如是惡人。見世飢饉心生歡喜。如我所念。於市糶賣。曲心巧偽。量諸穀麥誑惑於人。究竟成業。若心思惟名為思業。若作誑時名為誑業。作誑業已名究竟業。

Furthermore, the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra says: “What is called theft? Suppose a person thinks: ‘I wish that all kinds of grains and wheat ripen for me alone, and that the five grains do not mature for the people of the world.’ He constantly engages in such unwholesome thinking. Later, at another time, the sentient beings have meager merit, and the crops in the fields yield no harvest. When such an evil person sees famine in the world, joy arises in his heart, [thinking:] ‘It is just as I had intended.’ Selling at market, with a crooked mind and deceitful fraudulence he measures the grains and wheat to cheat and delude people, completely accomplishing the karma. If the mind thinks it, it is called the karma of intention; when he commits the deception, it is called the karma of deception; having committed the karma of deception, it is called completed karma.”
