(b') Causally concordant effects
Even when you are reborn from the miserable realms as a human,
[you still experience the effects of nonvirtuous actions] as follows:
[as a causally concordant effect of killing,] a short lifetime;
[as an effect of stealing,] a lack of resources;
[from sexual misconduct,] an unruly spouse;
[from lying,] much slander;
[from divisive speech,] loss of friendships;
[from offensive speech,] hearing unpleasant words;
[from senseless speech,] others not listening to your words;
and [from covetousness, malice, and wrong views] respectively,
predominance of attachment, hostility, and confusion.
The Chapter of the Truth Speaker414 and Sutra on the Ten Levels both
state that each of the nonvirtuous actions has two effects. They say
that even if you are bom a human, still:
[as a result of killing] you would have a short life span and
many illnesses;
[as a result of stealing] you would have few resources and
the resources you do have would be shared with others;
[as a result of sexual misconduct] your helpers would be disorderly
or untrustworthy, and you would have a contentious
spouse;
[as a result of lying] others would slander you a great deal,
and they would deceive you;
[as a result of divisive speech] your hel pers would not get
along and would misbehave;
[as a result of offensive speech] you would hear unpleasant
and quarrelsome speech; [183]
The Varieties of Karma 237
[as a result of senseless speech] your words would not be respected
or understandable, and your confidence would not
be unshakable;
[as a result of covetousness] you would have great attachment
and no contentment;
[as a result of malice] you would seek the unbeneficial or not
seek the beneficial, and you would harm others or others
would harm you;
[as a result of wrong views] you would have bad views and
would be deceitful.
The farmer gurus assert that liking to kill and so on even once you
have been bom a human are causally concordant behavioral effects,
and the above-mentioned effects are causally concordant experiential
effects.
