Master Tsong-Kha-Pa on the Varieties of Karma - Great Treatise on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment.

The Chapter of the Truth Speaker 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 helpers would not get

along and would misbehave;

[as a result of offensive speech] you would hear unpleasant

and quarrelsome speech;

[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.
