Translation of Commandments in Red Pine Nuts

The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan kowtowed and asked Red Pine Son: "How many people's lives I have seen are so uneven! Some are rich, some are poor, some are long-lived, some are short-lived, some are suddenly imprisoned by chains, some are sick for a long time, some are not sick but suddenly die, and some live a long life, which is so unequal. Please tell me why. " Red pine nuts said: "Everyone is lonely, and everyone carries a star in the sky. The stars, big and small, dominate people's bodies, decide people's ups and downs, rich and poor's life and death. People who do good are surrounded by good, followed by good, and many evils leave him. The gods protect him, people respect him, and he stays away from evil. People who do bad things are fierce, disasters follow him, good fortune avoids him, evil stars shine on him, people hate him, and all the troubles of decline are concentrated on him. Every day, people follow their inclinations, do evil things and secretly violate the taboos of heaven and earth. More than one wrong thing accumulated is condemned by sin. A man who does evil day and night, when the God of Life recalls the stars in the sky, will take his life, the sun in the sky will leave him, and the yin on the earth will cling to him, so he is old. "

The Yellow Emperor asked again, "How old should a person live?" Red pine nuts answer: "People are born from the ground. God gave us a life span of 43,800 days, and the total life span is 120 years old. A year is controlled by a year-old star, so the natural life span of a person should be 120 years old. Because they have violated the taboo of heaven and earth, they will die (early). " The Yellow Emperor asked again, "Some babies died in the mother's womb, and some children died at a few years old. They didn't do anything. What taboos have they made? " Red pine nuts replied: "This is the sin of ancestors, which will affect future generations. Since ancient times, the sages and sages have left inspiration in the Immortal Classic, all of which are to persuade people to do good and make people understand many evil deeds, so that they can be immortal and future generations will be blessed. Life is in heaven and earth, bearing yin and yang. Although the emperor is supreme, his role is manifested in the underground; Although the land behind is low, its function is reflected in the sky; The sky doesn't speak, and the four seasons still run; The earth doesn't speak, and everything grows as usual. In it, people do whatever they want, and the movements and breathing of ordinary people are well known to the world, so it is said that heaven has four senses. People don't repay the kindness of heaven and earth, but they blame heaven and earth. For many people, heaven and earth represent parents, the sun and the moon represent eyes, the stars represent the nine secrets of the human body, and the wind blows fire to keep warm. At the end of life, they are all sent back to earth. Three messengers in the sky, Beichen and Lu Si, hold symbols on their heads. If anyone is found guilty, they will seize his record: if they seize it for one year, the stars on their heads will be gone, and this person will be troubled; If ten years are lost and the stars are gradually broken, this person will be robbed and decline. If it has been used for 20 years, the stars are gone, and the person is seriously ill or in prison; If you count 30 years, the stars will fall and scatter, and this person will die; If the fortune goes, the years pass, and you don't live to the natural life, it will hurt future generations, and the disasters handed down by future generations will be endless, and you will be wiped out. People don't know their mistakes, but say that life is short, so God doesn't bully everything, but shows his mind in a subtle way. Yin and Yang day and night, lightning, rain and snow, rainbow halo, sun and moon eclipse, comet flow, etc. , to show the world that this is a sign of heaven. The earth does not deceive everything, but shows its intention through the echo and growth of everything. Rivers and streams dried up again, landslides and earthquakes, strong winds uprooted trees, flying sand and stones, floods and locusts, famine and drought, and plagues awakened the world. This is the symbol of the earth. Ghosts and gods do not deceive everything, but warn the world with misfortune, strangeness and misfortune, which is the sign of ghosts and gods. You don't bully everything, but warn the world with the sum of heaven and earth, the prosperity of stars, the elimination of disasters, the smoothness in all directions and the stability of people's hearts. This is the symbol of the monarch. People's actions and words all say that heaven and earth are like this, so the sage said,' Heaven has no relatives, only virtue helps'. Obey the will of God, the words of virtuous people and saints. The private words and deeds of ordinary people every day, good things and bad things, are well known to the world. Killing the lives of animals in secret, the gods can see their bodies; There are thoughts in the heart, words in the mouth, and ghosts and gods can hear their voices; Break the taboo to 100, and the ghost takes away his soul; The taboo has reached thousands, and the earth has taken its shape; Do a lot of evil every day, and the shackles will be repaired immediately. This is karma of yin and yang. God has been alert and deliberately violated, then ghosts and gods will bring disaster. "

The Yellow Emperor asked again, "Man is blessed by the performance of good and evil by immortals. Please tell me more. " Red pine nuts replied: "The way to cultivate one's morality and keep one's family in order to manage nature is often done in the morning. Auspicious spirit is exclusive to the heart, and the mind is good at words, good deeds, and good deeds. In one day, three kinds of evil deeds will not be born, and in three years, heaven will bring good news, all of which will be conceited. If a person often gets up in the morning to say bad things, do bad things, watch evil deeds and teach others to do evil, if he does this continuously every day, within three years, disasters and diseases will involve himself, property will be lost, his family will die, the land will continue to be ominous, and this person will definitely decline. Nine abnormal phenomena in the sky are nine sudden disasters in the ground. Good is a symbol of evil, and evil is a sign of good.

Akamatsu also said: "A good man is the teacher of the wicked, and the wicked is the reference of the good man: good luck is the proof of fierceness, and fierceness is the redundancy of good luck. Good people often encounter disasters and decline, as well as various disasters, all of which are disasters left by his ancestors. Therefore, people who do good deeds all their lives don't have to choose a good day to do things. Whenever he acts, he naturally turns evil into good, the gods secretly protect him, and the devils run away. A person who has done evil all his life will meet with bad luck even if he chooses a good day and a good day. The evil God will hurt him, and the holy God will avoid him. The simple world practices good deeds every day, and the natural god adds longevity to him, and his face is harmonious, just like the brightness of the sun. This is the truth of going hand in hand. Want to live in harmony with heaven, not corrupt and not consumed, the taboo of heaven and earth, the gains and losses of people, self-cultivation and the way to control life, let's talk about it now. When people do a good deed, their spiritual will is stable; Do ten good deeds and you will be strong; Do twenty good deeds, and you will not get sick; Do thirty good deeds and ask for everything you want; Do forty good deeds, be rich and have fun; Do fifty good deeds, and your children will prosper; Do sixty good deeds, and don't be bound by mistakes and villains; Do seventy good deeds, and your studies are excellent and noble; Do eighty good deeds to gain the benefits of the terrain; Do ninety good deeds and the gods will bless you; Do a hundred good deeds, and God will give you a blessing and meet a saint. Do 200 good deeds, leave a name for future generations, and future generations are blessed; Do 300 good deeds, and three generations will enjoy wealth and happiness; Do 400 good deeds, and four generations of children and grandchildren will be rich, promoted and made a fortune, and pay more; Do 500 good deeds, and five generations of descendants will be knighted; Do 600 good deeds, and future generations will be loyal, filial and rich; Do 700 good deeds, and later generations will produce sages and philosophers; Do 800 good deeds, and a moral person is born; Do 900 good deeds and make a saint; Doing a thousand good deeds is included in the immortal class, and simple deeds and outstanding achievements will be recorded in heaven. In this life, the number of years has increased, the title has been promoted, and the fortune has spread to future generations, and future generations of sages have come forth in large numbers.

If a person does an evil thing, his mind is unstable; You are weak when you do heinous things; Do twenty evils and get sick; Do thirty evils, hope can not be satisfied; Did forty bad things, bumpy, declining, losing money, everything is contrary to common sense; Do fifty evils and have no spouse for life; Do sixty evils and destroy children; Do seventy evil things, and the ghosts of the underworld will murder; If you do eighty evil things, there will be fires and floods, accidental burns and drowning; Do 90 evil things, poor diseases, scabies and epilepsy; Did something that did no good, was attacked by bad weather, was accidentally dragged down, was punished by criminal law, and died dangerously; Do 200 evil things, bad atmosphere, thieves; Do 300 evil things and bring out cheap people from generation to generation; Do 400 evil things, and future generations will be poor and begging; Do evil for 500, and the descendants will be extinct; Do 600 evil things, blind, deaf, dumb, crazy for generations; If you do seven hundred evil things, you will give birth to disobedient, unfilial and illegal children; Do evil for 800, betray the minister and the son, and collectively destroy the relatives; If you do evil for 900, the whole family will be destroyed; He has done a thousand evil things, and generations of children and grandchildren are grotesque, even worse than animals, and they have done many evil things, affecting generations. This is the fate of the god of life. The star of fate has fallen, people have died young, and God sent ghost officials to torture them in Du Feng, and the disaster will flow to future generations. "

The Yellow Emperor asked again, "What crime has the world committed to reduce people's life span?" Akamatsu said: "I think people in the world have committed crimes and caused disasters themselves, but they say that heaven is unfair." If you are wronged, don't distinguish and don't wash, and curse the sky in anger. " Locked in chains, angry with heaven; In case of hunger, poverty and illness, angry days; Cold and summer, frost and snow, angry days; The length of day and night, anger and the sky. I did evil myself, prayed to heaven for a curse, violated the laws of the four seasons and the operation of the five elements, naked in front of the sun, the moon and the stars, shit in front of the three stars and the land temple, and watched the sun and the moon eclipse, but I didn't want to save it. I just want to enjoy myself, disrespect God, disrespect my parents, scold the wind and rain, destroy the system education of saints, destroy shrines and temples, dig graves and steal the property of the dead. Stealing gold silk, throwing dirty things at others, illegally expanding houses, tearing off clothes, holding food in unclean utensils, cursing people you don't know, burying spells in the ground, jealous of talents, raising all kinds of poisonous insects to kill people, issuing unsigned documents, slandering decent people, spying on others' privacy, blocking roads, filling canals, stealing other people's things and throwing them away for treatment. Cutting down other people's trees, crops, flowers, fruits and gardens, damaging six animals, polluting wells, palaces and temples, singing for fun in mourning, releasing Yamakaji, destroying other people's industries, draining ponds and ponds, catching animals in the water, such as salamanders, turtles and fish, making friends with people, breaking vows, ignoring Shinto and being treacherous. Eating and drinking in a disheveled manner harms good deeds, encourages evil deeds, benefits others and benefits others. In particular, he believed in evil religion, taught people not to obey the law, attacked and killed innocent people, falsified to prove right and wrong, abused power for personal gain and lacked weight, pretending to take enough risks, killing people in spring and conquering in summer, refusing to repent when he found evil deeds in autumn, digging things buried underground in winter, alienating others' flesh and blood, liking killing people and hating living. Bullying orphans, bullying widows, harming others, putting others in danger to protect their own safety, refusing to repay loans, praising themselves, slandering others, mixing the evil deeds of the wicked to curry favor with others' power, showing off others' power, being cruel and cruel at heart but seemingly kind, cheering at the sight of killing, never changing, not being good, abandoning relatives and getting close to outsiders, being arrogant and slow when not accepting parents. Spread bad words about wives and concubines, make them fight with each other, listen to the despicable words of villains, and abandon their own flesh and blood rashly. They are kind to others but regret it. They like to expose other people's embarrassing things, greedily pry into other people's privacy, flirt with other people's wives and concubines, do unreasonable things, rob other people's relatives, steal other people's good things and say that they have done it. Because he committed a felony, he implicated innocent people to guarantee himself, and despised people who had both ends, no matter how high or low. Drink to drown one's sorrows, use things improperly, abandon food at will, despise clothes, pursue materialistic desires excessively, and even avoid danger and forget the old, abandon the roots and chase the end, repay the kindness without reporting, and dominate the market.

There are more than 800 faults written above, which can only be roughly described and not listed one by one, but everyone in the world will violate the above articles or their reference articles. The stars play the gods in the sky, and the seven stars, the six laws, the four seasons, the eight winds, the nine palaces and the five-element shillings command the gods to shorten their life span and bring all kinds of disasters to future generations. "

The yellow emperor asked again, "if you violate the taboo of heaven and earth, you will die." How many people are guilty? What should you do? " Akamatsu said: "Man is the foundation of heaven and earth and should do good. Surrender to the world of karma, gentle and smooth appearance, hidden jealousy in the heart, violation of taboos, accumulated resentment, recorded by God, played back to heaven. The people who should be punished to death in the world, or those who died in the position of confrontation between the two armies, have their own past grievances, and the other is the interaction of five aggregates. God Taiyi crusaded against him, and his fate should have been annihilated when he was exercising. "

The Yellow Emperor asked Red Pine Son again: "It is said by Mr. Wang that the world is against God's will and there is no peace. Can the sin be alleviated? " Red pine nuts replied: "Some sins can be relieved, and some sins cannot be relieved. The world occasionally does something wrong. If we can repent, we can get rid of sin. If you listen to persuasion and don't believe it, and you know your mistakes and don't change them, you will do more evil things, be vicious in your heart, and incite, and you can't get rid of sin. "

Akamatsu said: "People do good deeds, and the gods of heaven and earth bless them, which helps to prolong life and make them live a long life without encountering all kinds of evil things. Why not do something good? However, the world respects heaven and earth, does not violate any taboos, respects parents, lives in harmony with brothers and sisters, sympathizes with the helpless, helps the poor, respects teachers, respects the ancient sages and the elderly in the village, does not violate their teachings, and is humble and respectful. Whenever there are storms, hot and cold, strange stars, and eclipses, they always think of goodness, stay away from it, and worship the heavens and the earth. Seeing others do evil, persuade them to do good. If you meet good people, you should respect them. In case of danger and danger, go to the rescue sincerely. Leave the hardships to yourself and give them to others safely and conveniently; Keep the heavy things for yourself and give the light things to others. Advise everyone not to waste their breath and accuse each other of going to court. Repairing public wells, ditches and roads, don't stop doing big charity because of small charity, and don't stop doing small charity because of big charity. I feel sorry for people who make mistakes; Seeing that others have gained something, I am really happy for him. Support and care for the weak, help the poor with kindness, be respectful and humble, and let the blessings be rewarded to others. God will write down moderate merits and deeds, and will also increase longevity and make future generations blessed. If you have a firm belief, advocate morality in your heart, don't avoid danger, bravely rescue drowning people in rivers, lakes and seas, don't get close to women other than your wife, don't invade other people's houses, don't hurt your life unreasonably, like having children and hate killing; Xue Jing is not short of manners. He often reads classics, never forgets to repay his kindness, does favors to others without regret, is generous and patient, is loyal and filial, does not show off his dignity, does not waste money, does not like gorgeous clothes, and does not kill when arranging meals. I ask myself to be a warm-hearted person. I don't care about others, I don't think I'm a saint, I don't think I'm a good man, I don't defend myself, I don't think I'm rich, I don't think I'm arrogant, I don't think I'm very important, I don't think I'm too proud, I don't act according to my subjective intentions, I don't excuse myself, and I comprehensively record the merits and demerits of my subordinates. In addition, the doubled number of people are loyal to the monarch, filial to their parents, not arrogant, respecting teachers, enlightening innocent children, praising their masters' elders, cultivating self-cultivation, being humble, living in harmony with superiors and subordinates, caring for the average, not listening to greedy words and bad words, and acting honestly. Women are filial to their parents-in-law, respect their husbands, have pure conduct, submit to humiliation, introspect the morning and faint, be kind and selfless, serve their elders, and also owe money to prolong their lives, eliminate disasters and have children. Those who are harmful to life and happiness, I killed the monarch, my son killed my father, and I was serving my teacher. Academic achievements forget the teacher, rude, indifferent to relatives and friends, and indulge themselves at will. Those women who betray their parents, are not filial to their parents-in-law, despise their husbands, speak ill of others, fight with their six relatives, steal things, do things lazily, and make enemies with their neighbors will all be deprived of their lives, be plagued by bad diseases, be hated when they are alive, and go to hell after death. "

The Yellow Emperor asked again, "There is still the most wonderful truth in the world. Can you listen to the teacher? " Akamatsu said: "It is natural for people to practice good and evil from the heart. The human heart is the seedling of five thieves and the root of all evil. People are good. Although the charity has not yet been completed, the good gods have sensed it. I have evil thoughts in my heart. Although the evil has not happened yet, the evil god already knows. Therefore, a gentleman does good for a thousand days, and the good is not finished. If he does evil for a while, evil is more than enough. As for the ultra vires takeover, it also starts from the inside; There are gains and losses, and they must be in heaven. If you harm people's hearts, you may not succeed, so life and death, ups and downs, are determined by fate. The scripture says: heaven has five elements that are mutually beneficial, and if it is realized, it will prosper, and if it is lost, it will die; Enlightenment imitates the five virtues, those who follow them prosper, and those who abandon them die. To follow the five virtues, we must be gentle, courteous and frugal, be benevolent, courteous, wise and trustworthy, and those who run counter to it will do evil, envy, murder, riot, bullying and fraud. There are nine kinds of thoughts in people's hearts: when they see the glory and nobility of others, they say that they have lost their past and hope that others will be exiled and relegated; Seeing that others are expensive and rich, laughing at his past poverty, hoping that others will be penniless; Seeing that others have money, they make a wish to let others plunder; Seeing the beauty of other people's wives and concubines, I want to commit adultery; Seeing the splendor of other people's homes, I vowed to burn them down; If you default on others' debts, you will make an oath that creditors will die; If you can't borrow other people's property, you will make a vow to become angry from embarrassment; Occasionally see someone in danger, say that his past is not; Even their biological parents want them to die early so that they can inherit property and houses. These are nine thoughts of a fool, so the gods and spirits of heaven and earth hate him, bring him disaster and take his life. People who follow the five virtues in their hearts often have nine thoughts: seeing the prosperity of others and thinking that their wealth is shallow; Seeing others in Gu Mi and Man Cang, I thought I didn't try my best to manage and farm; Seeing the wealth of others, I feel that these are not my things; Seeing other people's beautiful wives and concubines and thinking of their own wives, they are not arrogant and impetuous; Seeing the splendor of other people's homes and thinking of their dilapidated houses, I feel at ease; Seeing that others have been sorry for themselves in the past, they are now being sued and are enthusiastic to help; Debt owed to others, unable to repay at present, often thinking of ways to repay; Sometimes I want to borrow money from others, thinking that I was not kind to others in the past; Seeing him serve the monarch and support his parents, I often think that I have not tried to repay the monarch and his parents. If the world can practice this Jiu Si all day long and abandon the past life and nine thoughts, it will become a first-class intelligent and open-minded person, and this world will be blessed, and future generations will be blessed, and unexpected disasters will not befall him. "

The Yellow Emperor asked Mr. Wang again, "What is the rank of the wise?" Red pine nuts replied, "Class Three are all caring people. First-class wise men are familiar with astronomy and geography, understand without learning, understand without teaching, memorize without forgetting, distinguish temperament, distinguish sages and fools, have compassion, do not despise others, know the timing of success or failure, know how to advance and retreat, and distinguish between life and death. Even if such people are poor, they will eventually be rich; Even if it is humble for a while, it will eventually be noble. This is the first-class wise man. The average wise man has a thorough understanding of the Scriptures, and always maintains a respectful manner. He sees the sage Si Qi, helps the weak, gives benefits without regrets, and is loyal, filial and benevolent, gentle, courteous and frugal. Such people don't have to learn, and eventually they will realize it. Even if they don't have dignitaries, they will understand eventually. This is a wise man of medium height. The wise men with low self-esteem, who get rid of past mistakes, practice the future well, want to learn when they hear about their studies (which they can't do), believe in the retribution of good and evil, don't infringe on other people's property, protect their lives, cherish their bodies, understand reason and grammar, sympathize with the strong and the weak, and naturally fear catastrophe and decline. There is nothing wrong with being so careful, and you won't suffer unexpected disasters. This is the inferior wise man. " The Yellow Emperor said, "Good! Very good! These words are immeasurable for merit. I would like to record it according to what Akamatsu said, in order to announce everyone and extradite all beings. " Ministers bowed down and followed the instructions.
