the consequences of oral karma can be said to be very powerful. moreover, among our three karmas of body, speech and mind, speech is the easiest to create. therefore, lawyer daoxuan of the tang dynasty warned buddhists not to commit verbal karma, so as to avoid suffering from falling into the cycle of reincarnation: "ordinary people who study taoism can only know their own minds. if they do the following, they will be vilified. if they carefully observe, they will be jealous of others. if they value virtue, they can achieve success. if they are far away from the quiet place, sit upright and think. but if they observe their own actions, do not say that they are short of their mouths, and do not talk about their tongues, and be silent and soft. ignorance is deaf and blind, and i have a real treasure in my inner wisdom, and i am happy and quiet, and i am free from laziness and laziness in my practice."
