優婆塞戒經云。戒果有二。一天樂。二菩提樂。智者應求菩提。不求天樂○正法念處經云。若持戒心。念天樂者。斯人污淨戒如雜毒水。以天樂無常壽盡必退當受大苦。是故當求涅槃。

The Upāsakaśīla-sūtra states: 'The fruits of the precepts are two: first, celestial joy; second, bodhi joy. The wise should seek bodhi and not seek celestial joy.' The Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra states: 'If one who holds the precepts contemplates celestial joy in mind, this person defiles the pure precepts like water mixed with poison. Because celestial joy is impermanent, when life ends one inevitably falls back and must undergo great suffering; therefore one must seek nirvāṇa.'
