【The Varieties of Karma】- inappropriate use of the property of the Three Jewels

【Stealing is weighty due to its basis if it involves taking a great deal, or taking good things; or is stealing after deceiving those who trust you;】

"Those who trust you" means the property of the Three Jewels.

Therefore, the property of the Three Jewels is something you absolutely cannot touch! Speaking of this, those of us here are often careless with the properties of the temple. Sorry, though you have no desire to steal, because the basis [i.e the property of the Three Jewels] itself is incredibly weighty, therefore, if you just use it a little inappropriately, it becomes an extremely serious mistake, an extremely serious mistake!

业果 : 妄用三宝物

【由其事故重不与取者，谓若劫盗众多上妙及委信者。】

「委信者」就是三宝之物。所以对那个三宝之物，是一点不能动啊！说到这里，现在大家在这个地方，总觉得常住的东西马马虎虎。对不起，这个你虽然没有盗心，但是因为它这个本身这个东西重得不得了，所以随随便便你妄用一点，就犯不得了的过错欸，犯不得了的过错欸！
