魔羅之王分享物質世界的十條法則
後來,我問魔羅之王人類是否有辦法避免下地獄,避免那些惡果—對他們來說並不難做的事。所以他告訴我,是的,他對這方面有一些了解,他知道宇宙和物質世界的一些法則與規則。所以我請教他:「請告訴我們。」他有十條法則要與你們分享,這樣你們就懂得作出選擇,讓自己過更好的生活,就可以不再受苦,例如不必再輪迴到這個世界,過著痛苦的生活,或甚至墮入陰間,永遠遭受更可怕的痛苦。
第一條,我只是依他的原話複述,即使對你們,這些話很奇特。例如,我們會說:「不要殺生」或「戒殺生」,
但他說:「愛不殺害無辜者。」
第二條:「愛不殺害眾生。」
這包括了動物族人,知道吧?
第三條:「愛所有生活在你們星球上的生靈。」
他並沒有說只愛人類。「愛所有生靈。」
第四條:「愛不說謊。」
在我們團體的戒律中,我們會說:「不妄語,要誠實說話。」但他總是把「愛」放在前面。這真是不可思議。所以,「第四條:愛不說謊。」
第五條:「愛不破壞大自然。」
是的,我想森林、河流、山脈、海洋,它們都是大自然,所以「愛而不破壞大自然。」
第六條:「愛不使森林裸露。」
他的原話是這樣,我猜是「不要砍伐樹林。」
第七條:「愛不讓流水停止。」
他告訴我有某個秘密工程在某些地區把水截斷,或將水改道到其他地方使用,或為了在那個地區進行其他用途,這會破壞環境,讓原本流水區域附近的人們遭受乾旱之苦,而某一群人卻因他們工程做的事而獲利。
第八條:「愛不殺害胎兒。」
這個你們已經知道了。
第九條:「愛不污染水資源。」
這一點我們都知道。
第十條:「愛不跟隨邪惡的道路。」
凡是不好的事,就不要做。凡是好的事,只要做得到,就立刻去做。這些是佛教的建議,也可以說這是魔王關於那些可能傷害你自身之事的知識,所以他非常仁慈地與我們分享。不能說這是他的法則之類的。這是宇宙的知識,而身為這個物質世界的審判者,他知道,他必須知道。因此他與我們分享。我們也感謝他。
After that, I asked the King of Mara whether or not there is any way that humans can avoid hell, avoid bad consequences that is not so difficult for them to do. So he told me , yes, he has some knowledge about that and some laws, some rules of the Universe and in the physical world that he knows. So I asked him, “Please tell us.” So he has ten rules to share with you so that you know to choose to have a better life yourself, and you will not have to suffer anymore, like being born into this world again, in a suffering life, or go to the underworld to suffer worse forever.
Number one. I’m just saying exactly what he said, even if the words are strange to you. For example, we would say, “Do not kill,” or “Refrain from killing,” but he said, “Love not killing the innocents.”
Number two: “Love not killing sentient beings.” That includes animal-people, you know, right?
Number three: “Love all fellow beings who live on your planet.”
He didn’t say love only humans. “Love all fellow living beings.”
Number four: “Love not lying.”
In our precepts, in our group, we would say, “Don’t lie. Tell the truth.” But he always gives the word “love” in front. It’s incredible. So, number four: “Love not lying.”
Number five: “Love not destroying nature.”
Yeah, I think it’s forests, rivers, mountains, oceans, they are all nature. So, “Love not destroying nature.”
Number six : “Love not forest laid bare.”
That’s what his words were. I guess, “Do not cut trees.” I think.
Number seven: “Love not the flowing water to stop.”
He told me that there’s some secret project. This stopped water in some area or diverted it into somewhere else to use, or for using that area to do something else, which harms the environment and leaves the people around that flowing water area to suffer drought, while some group of people who profit are doing something related to their project.
Number eight: “Love not killing fetus.”
You know already.
Number nine: “Love not water polluting.”
Well, that we know.
Number ten: “Love not following evil’s ways,”
Whatever no good, don’t do. Whatever good, you do it immediately if you can.
These are the Buddhist advice. You can also say that this is the Maya’s knowledge about things that could harm you yourself. So it’s very kind of him to share it with us. You can’t say that it’s his rules or anything. This is universal knowledge. And as a judge for this physical world, he would know, he has to know. So he shares it with us and we thank him.
