If you create ten diseases, you will fall into three evil paths. If you are born, you will get two kinds of bitter retribution: (1) those who kill: short-lived and sick. (2) Robbery and theft: poverty and property loss. (3) adultery: the spouse is unfaithful, the husband and wife are jealous, and they are not satisfied. (4) committing false feelings: often being slandered and deceived. (5) make two tongues (sow dissension): destroy the family and get a bad family. (6) Offending bad words: I often smell bad words and often get into lawsuits. (7) Offensive language (rhetoric): Seriously, no one believes it, and what you say can't be realized. (8) Greed: greed for money will never be satisfied, and desire will never be satisfied. (9) Offensive anger (malice, malice): often troubled by people, often angered and hurt by people. (10) Criminal Jaken (idiot): Born in a family in Jaken, he often feels inferior, and his obedience is disobedient.

The above ten evils are the main causes of suffering. Those who commit ten evils in the meeting are afraid of how to avoid three evils. Buddha said:

Excerpts from Third World Causality Classics

The Buddha told Ananda and said to his disciples, Now listen carefully. Very good! Very good! I should speak for you.

One. Therefore, all men and women in the world, rich and poor, come through thick and thin, and enjoy it, are all antecedents.

Karma. Why are you doing this?

Persuading all beings to study and practice can naturally eliminate the pain.
