1.28
世尊又告王曰:「眾惡之罪,最重有五。不孝不忠,殺親殺君,家滅國亂,重罪一也。羅漢之行,得空、不願、無想之定,與佛齊意,拯濟眾生,而愚向之,重罪二也。佛者,眾罪已畢,景福會成,相好十力,法導眾生,慈悲喜護,心過慈母,而愚惡謗,重罪三也。清淨沙門,志清行高;懷抱經法,助佛化愚。諸佛相紹繼,眾生得度,皆由眾僧。佞讒交搆,以致不調。僧不調,政法毀,民狂走。政法毀、民狂走者,三道興,惱比丘僧,重罪四也。佛之尊廟,寶物水土,眾生赤心以貢三尊,愚人或毀盜之,重罪五也。犯斯五者,罪無請,謂之自殺身、自滅族、自投太山火矣!五罪之重,重於須彌,慎無犯焉!」
The World-Honoured One further said to the king: "Among all evil transgressions, the five gravest are these: Being unfilial and disloyal, killing one's parents or sovereign, bringing ruin to the family and chaos to the state—this is the first grave offense. An arhat's practice attains the concentrations of emptiness, wishlessness, and signlessness, matching the Buddha's mind to save and deliver sentient beings, yet the foolish turn against them—this is the second grave offense. As for the Buddha, all his offenses are exhausted, grand blessings are fully gathered, he possesses the marks, signs, and ten powers, guides sentient beings with the Dharma, and with kindness, compassion, joy, and protection his heart exceeds that of a loving mother, yet the foolish malign him with evil—this is the third grave offense. Pure śramaṇas have pure aspirations and lofty conduct; embracing the scriptures and Dharma, they assist the Buddha in transforming the foolish. The Buddhas succeed one another, and sentient beings attain deliverance entirely through the saṅgha. Yet when flattering slander creates discord, disharmony ensues; when the saṅgha is in disharmony, governance and Dharma are ruined, and the people run amok. When governance and Dharma are ruined and the people run amok, the three evil paths flourish, and the bhikṣu saṅgha is harassed—this is the fourth grave offense. Sentient beings offer precious items, land, and water to the Buddha's revered temples and shrines with sincere devotion to the Three Honoured Ones, yet foolish people vandalize or steal them—this is the fifth grave offense. Whoever commits these five offenses finds no mercy for their guilt; it is called killing oneself, destroying one's clan, and casting oneself into the fires of Mt. Tai! The gravity of these five offenses is heavier than Mount Sumeru; take care never to commit them!"
