At Savatthi. As he was sitting to one side, King Pasenadi Kosala said to the Blessed One: “Just now, lord, as I was sitting in judgment, I saw that even affluent nobles, affluent Brahmans, and affluent householders — rich, with great wealth and property, with vast amounts of gold and silver, vast amounts of valuables and commodities, vast amounts of wealth and grain — tell deliberate lies with sensual pleasures as the cause, sensual pleasures as the reason, simply for the sake of sensual pleasures. Then, the thought occurred to me: ‘I’ve had enough of this judging! Let some other fine fellow be known for his judgments!'”<\/p>\n

“That’s the way it is, great king! That’s the way it is! Even affluent nobles, affluent Brahmans, and affluent householders… tell deliberate lies with sensual pleasures as the cause, sensual pleasures as the reason, simply for the sake of sensual pleasures. That will lead to their long-term harm and pain.”<\/p>\n

That is what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-Gone, the Teacher, said further:<\/p>\n

Impassioned with sensual possessions,
\ngreedy, dazed\u00a0by sensual pleasures,
\nthey don’t awaken to the fact
\nthat they’ve gone too far —
\nlike fish into trap set out.
\nAfterwards it’s bitter for them:
\nevil for them
\nthe result.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The purpose of this website is to propagate Buddha Dharma to the whole world. As we all know that this is the Dharma-Ending age, Buddhism is getting weaker whereas our worldly desires grow stronger. As said before by Shakyamuni Buddha (Scripture Preached by the Buddha on the Total Extinction of the Dharma<\/a>), in this Dharma-Ending age all Buddhist-Sutras will disappear slowly one by one, starting with Shurangama Sutra<\/a> and the last one to be Amitabha Infinite Life Sutra<\/a>. After the first sutra is gone, the world will start to enter a chaotic time where evil deeds will become daily routines. <\/em><\/p>\n
