Summary
s.1The Questions of the Nāga King Sāgara presents a discourse given by the Buddha Śākyamuni on the importance of considering the effects caused by actions. At the start of his teaching, the Buddha remarks how the variety of forms that exist, and in fact all phenomena, come about as the result of virtuous and nonvirtuous actions. By understanding this law of cause and effect and by taking great care to engage in virtue, one will avoid rebirth in the lower realms and enter the path to perfect awakening. In the rest of his discourse he explains in great detail the advantages of engaging in each of the ten virtues and the problems associated with not engaging in them.
s.1《龍王娑伽羅請問經》呈現了釋迦牟尼佛就思考行為所造成的果報之重要性所做的開示。在其教法的開始，佛陀評述了現存各種形態，以及實際上所有現象，都是由於善行和不善行而產生的。通過理解因果律，並以極大的謹慎從事德行，一個人將會避免在下三道中重生，並進入通往圓滿菩提的道路。在其開示的其餘部分，他詳細解釋了從事十善各項的好處，以及不從事這些善行所帶來的問題。
