Visuddhimagga I-156

Ārocayāmi vo, bhikkhave, paṭivedayāmi vo, bhikkhave, yathā etadeva tassa varaṃ dussīlassa pāpadhammassa asucisaṅkassarasamācārassa paṭicchannakammantassa assamaṇassa samaṇapaṭiññassa abrahmacārissa brahmacāripaṭiññassa antopūtikassa avassutassa kasambujātassa yaṃ amuṃ mahantaṃ aggikkhandhaṃ…pe… upanipajjeyya vā.

『诸比丘!我今告知你们,如果一位恶戒的,恶法的,不净而有疑惑行为的,有隐蔽之业的,非沙门而装沙门的,非梵行者而装梵行的,内心腐败流落诸漏生诸垢秽[gòu huì]的,他实抱着……大火聚而坐或卧比较好。

Ñ(I,156): 'I say to you, bhikkhus, I declare to you, bhikkhus, that it would be better for one [gone forth] who is unvirtuous, who is evil-natured, of unclean and suspect habits, secretive of his acts, who is not an ascetic and claims to be one, who does not lead the life of purity and claims to do so, who is rotten within, lecherous[ˈletʃərəs], and full of corruption, to sit down or lie down embracing that great mass of fire burning, blazing and glowing.



Taṃ kissa hetu? Tatonidānaṃ hi so, bhikkhave, maraṇaṃ vā nigaccheyya maraṇamattaṃ vā dukkhaṃ, na tveva tappaccayā kāyassa bhedā paraṃ maraṇā apāyaṃ duggatiṃ vinipātaṃ nirayaṃ upapajjeyyā’’ti (a. ni. 7.72).

何以故?诸比丘!他虽然因抱大火聚之缘而死去,或受等于死的苦痛,然而他身坏后,不会堕落苦处恶趣恶界与地狱。诸比丘!同样的,如果恶戒者……生诸垢秽者抱着剎帝利少女……而卧,因此他便长时无利而受苦,身坏后,堕苦处恶趣恶界与地狱』」。

Ñ: Why is that? By his doing so, bhikkhus, he might come to death or deadly suffering, yet he would not on that account, on the breakup of the body, after death, reappear in states of loss, in an unhappy destiny, in perdition, in hell. But if one who is unvirtuous, evil-natured ... and full of corruption, should sit down or lie down embracing a warrior-noble maiden ... that would be long for his harm and suffering: on the breakup of the body, after death, he would reappear in states of loss, in an unhappy destiny, in perdition, in hell' (A.iv, 128-9).
