世间人民不念修善，
转相教令共为众恶。
两舌、恶口、妄言、绮语、谗贼、斗乱，
憎嫉善人、败坏贤明，于傍快喜。
— 释迦牟尼佛
《无量寿经》
The world’s people are not mindful of cultivating good. In turn instructing one another, together doing many evils. With divisive speech, abusive speech, false speech and frivolous speech. With slander harming, creating chaos, hatefully jealous of good people. Ruining the capable and wise, by the side happy and joyful.
— Śākyamuni Buddha
(Immeasurable Life Sūtra)
