前期經文提示：純情即沈。入阿鼻獄。若沈心中。有謗大乘。毀佛禁戒。誑妄說法。虛貪信施。濫膺恭敬。五逆十重。更生十方。阿鼻地獄。
「酒肉穿腸過，佛在心頭坐。」他說吃肉喝酒，這一過去就沒有了嘛！佛在心頭坐，佛就在你心裡的嘛！你心就是佛，佛就是心。所以就講這邪知邪見。「毀佛禁戒」：說不要受戒，你受戒幹什麼？還要弄一個戒來管著你自己。要不受戒多自由呢！你何必要受戒？其實你不受戒是自由，很容易就墮地獄了，真是自由！很容易就跑到地獄去了。你要受戒，有那個戒來支持著你，有那個戒相、戒法、戒體。你受過戒了，那不是那麼容易就墮地獄的。你就是墮地獄，也很快就出來。你要是說聽著自由不受戒，不受戒，墮到地獄裡，什麼時候再出來，那那是沒有人擔保的。
你要是受過戒，就是很長的時間，會縮成很短。就好像你犯了很大一個法一一你給詹森總統或者做個護衛啊，或者做一個茶房啊一一你犯罪了，被警察抓捉去詹森那兒，詹森就給寫幾個字，說：「這人你把他放出來。」他就放出來了，很快的。要沒有呢？沒有就很久也放不出來的，不知拖延多長，是一個樣道理。你有戒來保護著你，你受很長罪的時間，可以縮為很短。所以，不要自作聰明，說是
：「喔！不要受戒好。」你都是受戒好，我告訴你
們。「眾生受佛戒即入諸佛位。」眾生受了佛戒，就是入佛位了。所以不要謗毀佛的戒律。
「誑妄說法」：不要說法說得誑妄，撥無因果：「無因無果啊，人就是佛嘛！不必修行。吃肉喝酒隨便你怎麼樣子都可以成佛的。佛是最容易成的。」不錯！佛最容易成的，但是你要去毛病。沒有有毛病的佛。那佛都是清淨無染的，沒有說污濁邋遢
，一身的罪業就去成佛了，沒有的。沒有說喝喝酒也可以成佛；吃肉也可以成佛的，沒有的。要是有這樣子，當初佛就不必說這個戒律了。所以我很恭喜我一個弟子。恭喜什麼呢？他現在喝三瓶啤酒這個頭痛了。這是一個善根的發現。你自己都應該生高興，你的善根發現了。
「虛貪信施」：不要虛貪信施。單單就貪圖人的供養，貪圖你信仰我，你就布施我，供養我，不要貪這個。一有貪心，說：「喔！我收多多的皈依弟子，我將來就會發財了。多多皈依弟子，誰有錢，一個人給我一塊錢，十個人就十塊錢，就我無形中就發了財了。」不要貪這個。
所以我什麼時候我不和你們講錢的。我今天在這不貪之中，我才講一講。人家收皈依弟子，都要先講明白了，五十塊錢，或者六十塊錢，或者多少錢一個。你皈依我，我這兒收這麼多皈依弟子。有的供養師父的，有的還對師父一個cent也沒有供養過。我也沒說這個皈依弟子真是不好啊！對於師父這一點的表現都沒有。我都不知道哪個供養，哪個
沒供養。
「濫膺恭敬」：自己本來無道無德的，就歡喜人家恭敬，這叫濫膺恭敬。
「五逆」：前邊講過，弒父、弒母、弒阿羅漢。

Sutra text from last issue:
When they are possessed entirely of emotion, they sink into
the Avichi Hell. If the emotion has gone into their hearts
so that they slander the Great Vehicle, defame the Buddha's
pure precepts, speak crazy and false dharma, are greedy for
offerings from the faithful, recklessly accept the respect
of others, commit the five rebellious acts and the ten major
offenses, then they are further reborn in Avichi Hells
throughout the ten directions.
"Wine and meat pass
through the bowels. The Buddha dwells in the mind." He says
that once the meat is eaten and the wine is drunk, it is
done and gone. The Buddha is in the mind. Your mind is the
Buddha, and the Buddha is your mind. What he professes is
deviant knowledge and deviant views. He defames the Buddha's
pure precepts. He tells people not to receive the precepts.
"What are you doing taking precepts? You haul in some
precepts to restrict yourself. It is so much freer if you
don't receive any precepts! Why would you want to take
precepts?" Actually the freedom you experience from not
receiving precepts makes it very easy to fall into the
hells. You call that true freedom! Once you receive the
precepts, they will support you. Once you have the precept
marks, precept dharmas, and precept substance, it will not
be so easy to fall into the hells. Or if you must go to the
hells, you will quickly come out again. But if you listen to
people's claims about freedom and because of that do not
receive the precepts, then if you fall into the hells,
there's no guarantee when you'll get out again.
If you take the
precepts, then a long term in the hells gets cut to a short
term. It's as if you were a president's aide and broke some
major law and were caught. Just a note from the President
would suffice to effect your release. Without that help, it
might be a long time before you were released. If you have
the precepts for protection, then the suffering you have to
endure for having committed major offenses will be lessened
significantly. So don't outsmart yourself by deciding not to
take the precepts. It's better to take the precepts. A
living being who receives the Buddha's precepts enters into
the position of a Buddha.
Don't slander
the Buddha's precepts, and don't speak crazy and
false dharma. Don't deny cause and effect. Don't say things
like "There's no cause and no effect; people are just
Buddhas, after all. There's no need to cultivate. Eat meat,
drink, and be merry, because no matter what you do, you
still can become a Buddha. It's really easy to become a
Buddha."
Right, it is
easy to become a Buddha, but the way to do it is to
get rid of your faults. There aren't any Buddhas who have
faults. They are all pure and undefiled. They didn't become
Buddhas by being filthy and full of karmic offenses. They
didn't becomes Buddhas by drinking wine and eating meat. If
that's the way it was, then the Buddha would not have had to
speak the precepts. So I would like to congratulate my
disciple, who got a headache after drinking three bottles of
beer. This is a manifestation of his good roots. You should
be happy because your good roots are coming forth.
Don't be greedy
for offerings from the faithful. Don't scheme to
get people to believe in you, to give you gifts, to make
offerings to you. Don't think, "If I take a lot of
disciples, I'll be rich. If one disciple gives me one
dollar, ten disciples would mean ten dollars, and so on, and
pretty soon I'll be rich."
I never discuss money
with my disciples. Since I'm talking about not being greedy
today, I'll discuss this a little bit. When other teachers
take disciples, they make it clear from the start that
people should give at least fifty or sixty dollars just to
take refuge. Of all the people who have taken refuge with
me, some of them have made offerings, while others have not
given even one cent to their teacher. But I have never
criticized them for being ungrateful disciples who don't
show the least appreciation for their teacher. I don't even
know who has made offerings and who hasn't.
These kinds of
beings also recklessly accept the respect of others.
They have no virtue or attainment in the Way, yet they like
others to respect them.
