【The Varieties of Karma】- far better to eat iron lumps blazing with flames

For those who have faulty ethical discipline  
Or who are not correctly restrained  
It is far better to eat iron lumps
blazing with flames Than to eat
the alms of their region.

 
Even if you have to swallow iron lumps blazing with flames, you should not break the vows and eat other people’s things.   To swallow iron lumps will at most cost your life now.  It is fine that you die.  But if you break the vow to eat this, then wow!   The things that you are enjoying right before your eyes now, when you go to hell, with the liquid copper and the hot iron, you will not just be eating them once!  If you just eat the iron lump once, you will die [in this life].  But when you go to hell, the iron lumps are persistently present and you cannot even die from eating them!   Which would you rather experience?  Of course I would rather take the hot iron lumps now.  It is fine if I die now. This is very clear and understandable.

业果 : 宁吞热铁丸....

宁吞热铁丸,猛焰极可畏,不以犯戒身,受用国人食。


就算吞热铁丸,不要犯戒吃人家的东西。因为吞热铁丸,最多你把它这一身毁掉了,死掉了嘛就死掉了。如果你犯了戒去吃的话,哇!那眼前受用满快乐的,将来到地狱里边啊,烊铜热铁啊,那岂只一趟的热铁丸!现在吃了一趟热铁丸你吃死了,到这个地狱里边,这个热铁丸一直在那里,你就偏偏还不死啊!你愿意受哪一个?我当然愿意现在这个热铁丸,死掉了就算了,这非常清楚、非常明白。
