Sūtra: "The third... harms their soul."
Three: heedlessness and loss of soul. As for "heedlessness" (pramāda): according to the eighth fascicle of the Nirvāṇa Sūtra: "Vigilance and non-heedlessness: this place is called the deathless (amṛta). Heedlessness and lack of vigilance: this is called the path of death. If one is non-heedless, one attains the place of the deathless. If one is heedless, one constantly heads toward the road of death. If one is heedless, it is called conditioned phenomena, and conditioned phenomena are the greatest suffering. Non-heedlessness is called nirvāṇa, and that nirvāṇa is called the deathless, the supreme bliss. Heading into conditioned formations is called the place of death." As for "excessive lust": even with one's own wife, one must avoid the three long months, the six [fast days], and the eight royal days—namely the beginning of spring, the spring equinox, the beginning of summer, the summer solstice, the beginning of autumn, the autumn equinox, the beginning of winter, and the winter solstice, which are also called the eight solar nodes—as well as the month before childbirth, the month after childbirth, and under the three luminaries; if one transgresses, it is called sexual misconduct. Question: "If a woman is protected by a person, causing that person anger, or protected by the Dharma, breaking the Dharma, it should be called sexual misconduct; but when a man has his own wife, why is it misconduct?" Answer: "Once she has undertaken [the precepts] for a day and a night, the precepts fall within the Dharma; though she was originally his wife, now she is not [his] to command. When the time of receiving precepts has passed, it is not Dharma-protected. Furthermore, to avoid harming the body: while a child is nursing, if one has intercourse, the mother's milk dries up; also, because the mind is attached to lust, one no longer cares for the child; and [intercourse] in inappropriate places—hence it is called sexual misconduct." As for "excessive drunkenness": like Aṅgulimāla who drank wine and fell into disorder, committing incest with his mother; when his mother again had intercourse with an outsider, he held a knife and killed her. As in the Dazhidun lun, the Buddha said to the upāsaka Nandika: "Alcohol has thirty-five faults. What are the thirty-five? First, present worldly wealth and property are exhausted. Why? Because when a person drinks and becomes intoxicated, their mind has no moderation and their spending is reckless. Second, it is the gateway to many diseases. Third, it is the root of quarrels and disputes. Fourth, one exposes oneself naked without shame. Fifth, one earns a bad reputation and ill renown, being disrespected by people. Sixth, it covers over wisdom. Seventh, things that one ought to obtain are not obtained, and things already obtained are lost. Eighth, hidden matters are all spoken to others. Ninth, various tasks are neglected and not accomplished. Tenth, intoxication is the root of distress. Why? Because when drunk one has many failings, and when sober one has remorse and sorrow. Eleventh, physical strength gradually diminishes. Twelfth, physical complexion is ruined. Thirteenth, one does not know how to respect one's father. Fourteenth, one does not know how to respect one's mother. Fifteenth, one does not respect śramaṇas. Sixteenth, one does not respect brāhmaṇas. Seventeenth, one does not respect uncles and elders. Why? Because when stupefied by drunkenness, one cannot distinguish anything. Eighteenth, one does not respect ṛṣis. Nineteenth, one does not respect the Dharma. Twentieth, one does not respect the Saṅgha. Twenty-first, one associates with evil persons. Twenty-second, one estranges oneself from the worthy and good. Twenty-third, one becomes a breaker of precepts. Twenty-fourth, one is without shame or conscience. Twenty-fifth, one does not guard the six sense faculties. Twenty-sixth, one indulges in heedlessness through sensory pleasures. Twenty-seventh, one is loathed by people, who dislike seeing one. Twenty-eighth, one is ostracized by esteemed relatives and acquaintances. Twenty-ninth, one practices unwholesome dharmas. Thirtieth, one abandons wholesome dharmas. Thirty-first, one is not trusted by wise people. Why? Because of heedlessness through alcohol. Thirty-second, one remains far from nirvāṇa. Thirty-third, one plants causes and conditions for madness and delusion. Thirty-fourth, when the body breaks up at the end of life, one falls into the evil naraka. Thirty-fifth, if one attains human rebirth, in whatever place one is born, one will always be mad and dull." Because excessive lust and drunkenness disturb sentient beings, non-human beings harm their soul, so that they do not obtain a long life; therefore it is an untimely death.
