佛說處處經 1.66

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.66)

佛言：「有比丘行道得一禪，自言：『我得道迹，第一禪福，上生第七天上壽一劫；得二禪，自計得斯陀含；第三禪福，上生十五天壽八劫；得四禪，自計我得阿羅漢。今我何故不得生第十九天上壽十六劫？』作是言已，便言：『佛為兩舌耳。』即時從天墮地獄中，不覺失天上壽，便受地獄罪。譬如世間人得珍寶，一日為火起盡燒之，人生惡意為橫燒善意（斯陀含下諸本並脫生天壽劫及得三禪等文）。」佛言：「人善惡相隨，無有解以，唯得道乃離俗耳。」

> The Buddha said: 'There was a monk practicing the Way who attained the first dhyāna and said to himself: "I have attained stream-entry. The merit of the first dhyāna leads to rebirth in the seventh heaven with a lifespan of one kalpa." Attaining the second dhyāna, he reckoned himself to have attained sakṛdāgāmin. Through the merit of the third dhyāna, he would be reborn in the fifteenth heaven with a lifespan of eight kalpas. Attaining the fourth dhyāna, he reckoned to himself: "I have attained arhat. Why am I now not reborn in the nineteenth heaven with a lifespan of sixteen kalpas?" Having spoken thus, he then said: "The Buddha was merely speaking with a double tongue." Instantly falling from heaven into hell, without realizing the loss of his heavenly lifespan, he suffered punishment in hell. It is just like a person in the world who obtains rare treasures, and one day a fire breaks out and burns them all up; when a person gives rise to evil thoughts, they wrongfully burn up good thoughts. (In various editions, the text below sakṛdāgāmin lacks the passages on being born in heaven, lifespans in kalpas, and attaining the third dhyāna.)' The Buddha said: 'A person's good and evil follow one another without cessation; only upon attaining the Way does one leave the secular world.'
