《增壹阿含经》卷第三十一 力品 第三十八之一 符秦三藏昙摩难提 译
（佛言）“若当众生知罪恶之原身、口、意所行者，终不堕三恶趣；
以其众生不知罪恶之原，故坠堕三恶趣中。”
Translation Summary: According to the Buddha:
“If the sentient beings (all people, devas etc) are aware that sins or evils originate from their conduct, spoken words and thoughts , they will not end up falling into the three wretched realms (animals, hungry ghosts, hell). As these sentient beings do not realize the origins of sins or evils, they therefore plunge into the three wretched realms. ”
[Hence, it is pertinent for all people to know and believe the Buddha's teachings on the deeds that are really sinful, in order to repent and refrain from all sins by guarding our behaviour (body), speech (mouth) and thoughts (mind).]
Based on the Buddha's teachings in the Mahayana Sutras 大乘佛经:十大无知罪业 Indulgence in sexual misconduct will cause the sinners, upon death, to end-up in the three evil
realms of Animals, Hungry Ghosts and even the Hell if any illicit sex is enjoyed many times: Almost all people, including most Buddhists are largely unaware
that all following sexual acts are sexual misconduct:
- All
self-masturbation (mainly by
hand); more sinful if one uses any sex toy or
pornography as stimulus.
- All
fantasy of illicit sex with the wrong
partner, especially during masturbation or sexual act with one's spouse.
- All
adultery and
sexual promiscuity; especially lustful one-night
stand without ensuring the
right partner etc.
- Almost
all pre-marital sex, mainly because
it is normally secretive, forbidden or the partner is wrong (over 90%
risk).
- Even
if a non-marital sexual act is driven by mutual
love, it is generally a sexual misconduct as
non-marital sex normally involve at least one of these six wrong
conditions: wrong partner (over
90% chance); wrong contact 'path'
(mouth, anus);
wrong volume (exceeding 5 times);
wrong place; wrong time; wrong values
-- secretive, underground or forbidden
by parents, spouse, relatives, the law, society or the Dharma.
- All
men's sexual acts with the wrong partner:
nun, relatives (incest), virgin
(not one's wife), another
man's wife, any female entrusted to his protection,
prostitute, prisoner, fugitive, corpse, same
sex (homosexual), hermaphrodite (with
both sex organs),
non-human (animal, ghost)
and all female persons protected
by their parents, siblings, son, husband, parents-in-law, relatives or by
herself; or protected by the law or the Dharma (chastity
precept).
- All
homosexuals' sexual
acts, especially oral sex and anal sex.
- All
sexual acts with one’s spouse as the right partner but
at the wrong place, wrong time, wrong 'path' or wrong volume.
- All
sexual acts through the wrong contact 'path':
mainly oral sex and anal sex, regardless of man-to-woman (heterosexual)
or man-to-man (homosexual)
or pederasty,
sodomy with boys
etc. Both Shakyamuni Buddha and
Maitreya Buddha-to-be had declared the female genital (vagina) as the
only right sexual 'path' and all other parts of the body or face are the
wrong 'path'.
- All
sexual acts at the wrong place:
monastery; temple/stupa vicinity; near any Buddha or Bodhisattva's statue/picture;
near any corpse; outdoor or in the public; indoor assembly area; or hard,
rough, uneven floor causing discomfort.
- All
sexual acts at the wrong time:
wife's refusal, menstruation,
pregnancy (especially advanced stage),
breast-feeding confinement period, illness, chastity-precept or Uposatha
eight precepts' observance.
- All
sexual acts that has the wrong values:
deviant, immoral or socially unacceptable, including seduction, flirtation, trickery,
deception, drunk or ‘drugged’ partner, transaction, prostitution, violence,
compulsion, perversion, adultery, promiscuity (lust-driven, loose,
indiscriminate one-night stand); matching others with sexual partner (including
pimps), secretive or underground, public
performance and all sexual acts in the presence of an audience.
CAUTION:
If any pre-marital sex or adultery results in unwanted pregnancy and subsequent
abortion, the sinner will incur far worse karma, since killing one's
child during abortion is much more sinful than pre-marital sex itself. May
all people worldwide refrain from all sins, be it sexual misconduct or
abortion. |
