Translators Notes
Even though this lot gives you the right to enjoy yourself, you must still guard against hedonism and complacency. According to the Treatise of Response and Retribution, excess revelry, drunkenness, idleness, and greed for meat dishes are all karmic transgressions.
The treatise also states that sinners will have their lifespan shortened by periods of either 12 years for serious offenses or 100 days ; misfortunes, illnesses and so forth will also be meted out as punishments. Thus, it would be wise to handle good fortune with modesty and reasonable restraint.
