A Lecture of the excellent Karma resulting

from the practice of the Ten Commandments
Preached by the Venerable Sek Fu Ho in Hawaii
Recorded by his disciple Rev. Ming Wai
This Sultra was translated from Brahman Language into English
by the Venerable Sikshananda of TRIPITAKA (a Buddhist teacher of the Law),
A scramana of Kustana in the Tang Dynasty
Should they turn their good merits towards the cause of Anutara Samyak Sambodhi,
they will get in their future Buddhahood the Tathagata special physical characteristic
of concealment (of his private part like that of a horse)
It is because they abstain from adultery and practise good Dhama and they turn this towards
the supreme bodhi or enlightenment, that of Buddha. In the future Buddhahood they will
get the esoteric form of a zealous disciple. It was written in the Sutra: There was an esoteric

and inside. Those who practised the pure living for many kalpas could appear in this form.
Again, your Majesty, let us turn to the next. Those who abstain from telling lies will
get at once eight qualities, the possessing of which is commended by the devas. What
are they} They are:
1.
Their mouths are always pure and clean and fragrant as that of lotus.
2.
They are trusted and obeyed by all worlds.

4.
They always comfort all beings with loving words.
5.
They get the desirable happiness and three pure karma.
6.
They make no blunder in speaking and are always joyful.
7.
Their speech is respectful so that it is carried out and obeyed by men and devas.
8.
Their wisdom is extraordinary and inferior to none.
Telling lies is also said as false speech with intent to deceive. That is, there are many lies
in a false mind because some are practically bad hearted to destroy others by turning upside-down the right and wrong, black and white. The words are not carried out by deeds

clean but in fact they are not. They have not been enlightened but they say they have. They

All these are great lies and those who tell lies will fall into the avici hell (the last of the eight



hot hells, in which punishment, pain, form, birth, death continue without intermission.)
Those who abstain from telling lies will get at once eight qualities, the possessing of which
is commended by the devas.
1.
The speech and pure words in the straight forward mind are as fragrant as lotus.
2.
They are trusted and obeyed by all people.
3.
What they say will be right and they are esteemed by men and devas.
4.
They always give comforts to all beings in order to make them turn towards good
Dharma.
5.
They get the desirable happiness and three pure karma.
6.
They make no blunder in speaking so they are always joyful.
7.
Their speech is respectful without falsity so it is carried out and obeyed by men and
devas.
8.
They have supreme
wisdom surpassing the world
as well as heresy.
In Sanghikavinaya (the rules
for monks and nuns) it was
written: There was a man of
the great Brahmana called Lo
6HH+HWDXJKWYHVWXGHQWV
to study all kinds of sutrapitaka and he also had a slave.
Afterwards the slave left him
to wander in other country.
The slave introduced himself
to other people that he was
not a slave and he belonged
to a certain family of great
Brahmana.
At that time there was an elder who liked him because
he was clever and could
speak well. Then the elder
united him in marriage with
his daughter and supplied him

laways scolded his wife for this and that.

elder was unhappy too. Suddenly a relative came to visit him from a foreign country so the

a spell. When some one is angry, just say the spell to him and the person will calm down at
once. After that, the elder taught his daughter to say the spell. Then she said it when her
KXVEDQGZDVDQJU\WRVFROGKHUIRUWKHIRRG5RXJKIRRGLVRUGLQDU\IRRG:K\GR\RX
get angry to eat? You have come to a foreign country with no relation. Yet you deceive all
people. When her husband had heard this he dared not be arrogant and haughty any more.
Hence he became a humble man.
Should they turn their good merits towards the cause of Anutara Samyak Sambodhi
they will get in their future Buddhahood the truthful speech of Tathagata.



It is because they abstain from lies and practise good karma and they turn this towards the
supreme bodhi or enlightenment, that of Buddha. In future Buddhahood they will get the
truthful speech of Tathagata at once. Truth is not false. That is absolute, so it is said to be
the true words of Tathagata.
Your Majesty, let us turn to the next. Those who abstain from carrying tales will get

To get the diamond body i.e. the indestructible body of Buddha for it can be
done no harm.
2.
To get the inseparable family because no one can break them up.

4.
To get incorruptible morality because it is done on a solid base.
5.
To get eternal learned friends or teachers because they are honest and do not
mislead people.
The meaning of carrying tales is thatto break the friendship between two persons. For
example, a man tells a person, A, that his friend, B, is not good to A. Again, he went to

of sin of carrying tales with no shame will fall into the hell where the tongue is pulled out,
as punishment for oral sins, and they will put into their mouths the melting liquid bronze.
Indeed, it is their reward of carrying tales all by themselves.

mountain, in North India, there were two little kingdoms which were from the same ancestry. They were brotherly countries. There was another country in their neighbour. The
neigbour king intended to separate these two kingdoms so that he could take advantage of
them. Therefore, he sent a messenger to the kingdom belonging to the elder brother, and
carried tales that his younger brother was taking military training in the country. Again,
he sent another messenger to the kingdom belonging to the younger borther and carried another tale that his elder brother was training soldiers in the country too. Hence,
the two brothers suspected each other and they prepared for war respectively in secret. At
the same time these two kings thought that the two kingdoms founded by their ancestor,
were settled down happily and why should they want to declare war. Therefore, they went
to the vihara and garden Jetavana to worship the Buddha asking for the cause. Then they

She loved them both very much. When they had grown up they owned the two valleys and
governed them respectively as two kings of all animals. There was a wild dog who saw that
they were so strong and brave that all animals obeyed them. It was jealous and tried to
