古代名言翻译（190）

经云：天地之间，五道分明。善恶报应，祸福相承。身自当之，无谁待者。五恶五痛，譬如大火，焚烧人身。敢有犯此，当历恶趣。痛哉可伤。——《老人言》

According to the Buddha Speaks of the Infinite Life sutra of Adornment, Purity, Equality, and Enlightenment, there are five realms of transmigration in the world, which are the heaven’s, human’s, beast’s, hungry ghost’s and the hell’s. You must accept the results of your behavior all by yourself no matter they are good or bad. No one else can take place of you. Killing, theft, wantonness, arrogance and anger are five evil actions. If you do these things, you will get the bad results such as being put into prison, enduring the disasters and so on, which are too hard to endure just as your body is on fire. Those who dare to misbehave these evil deeds will experience the realms of hell, hungry ghosts and beast after he died. How deep the agony is!
