### [23.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.23.8)

「弟子等！以共相懺悔身三業竟，今當次第懺悔口四惡業。經中說言：『口業之罪能令眾生墮於地獄餓鬼受苦，若在畜生則受鵂鶹梟鷲鳥形，聞其聲者無不憎惡。若生人中口氣常臭，所有言說人不信受，眷屬不和常好鬪諍。』口業既有如是惡果，是故，弟子！今日至誠歸依佛。

> "Disciples, having together confessed the three physical karmas, we shall now in turn confess the four evil karmas of speech. A sūtra states: 'The sins of vocal karma can cause sentient beings to fall into the hells and the hungry ghosts to undergo suffering; if in the animals, they take the forms of owls, horned owls, or vultures, whose cries none hear without detestation. If born among humans, their breath is constantly foul, none believe or accept whatever they say, and their family members are discordant and constantly fond of quarreling.' Since vocal karma has such evil retributions as these, therefore, disciples, today with utmost sincerity take refuge in the Buddha!
