Also, the Sūtra of Surata Spoken by the Buddha says: “The Buddha said: ‘Now, one who speaks falsely deceives oneself and also deceives others. False speech causes a person's body to stink, their mind and mouth to lack trust, and their mind to be afflicted. False speech causes one's mouth to stink, and one's complexion to be abandoned by great deities. False speech ruins all roots of good, causing one to be foolish and blind, losing the good path. False speech is the root of all evils, severing the foundation of good conduct and secluded dwelling.’”
