【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Buddha would not speak a word of untruth

【Further, the King of Concentrations Sutra says: Were the moon and the stars to fall from their place
And the earth with its mountains and cities to perish
Or the realm of the sky to completely transform,
You [Buddha] still would not speak a word of untruth.】

The sutra tells us: the moon and the stars can fall from their place, things as stable as the mountains can completely perish, even the realms of the sky can transform into something else; all those which seem impossible to be changed can change, but the Bhagavan still would not speak a word of untruth. This is to tell us that the words spoken earlier are absolutely true. Anything can change, but this principle will never change. We must believe it.

业果 : 尊不说非谛语

【此复如《三摩地王经》云：“设月星处皆堕落，具山聚落地坏散，虚空界可变余相，然尊不说非谛语。”】

经上面告诉我们：月亮、星都可以堕落，然后呢，像山一样坚牢的地方，它可以彻底地败坏，乃至于虚空可以变成其他的，所以这些东西都不可能变化的都可以变，但是世尊绝对不会说一点点不实在的话。这个就是告诉我们，前面这个话，那千真万确，任何东西可变，这个道理是绝对不变，我们要信得过。
