The Story of a Woman of Jealous Disposition

While residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (314) of this book, with reference to a woman who was by nature very jealous.

Once, a woman with a very strong sense of jealousy lived with her husband in Savatthi. She found that her husband was having an affair with her maid. So one day, she tied up the girl with strong ropes, cut off her ears and nose, and shut her up in a room. After doing that, she asked her husband to accompany her to the Jetavana monastery. Soon after they left, some relatives of the maid arrived at their house and found the maid tied up and locked up in a room. They broke into the room, untied her and took her to the monastery. They arrived at the monastery while the Buddha was expounding the Dhamma. The girl related to the Buddha what her mistress had done to her, how she had been beaten, and how her nose and ears had been cut off. She stood in the midst of the crowd for all to see how she had been mistreated. So the Buddha said, "Do no evil, thinking that people will not know about it. An evil deed done in secret, when discovered, will bring much pain and sorrow; but a good deed may be done secretly, for it can only bring happiness and not sorrow."

Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:

Verse 314: It is better not to do an evil deed; an evil deed torments one later on. It is better to do a good deed as one does not have to repent for having done it.

At the end of the discourse the couple attained Sotapatti Fruition.

嫉妒心重的女人折磨女傭


不要造作惡業，造作惡業的人，將來必定受苦；應該造作善業，造作善業的人不受苦。(偈 314)


　　從前，有一位嫉妒心重的婦女和丈夫住在舍衛城。她發現丈夫和家中的女僕私通，而異常憤怒。有一天，她將該女僕綑綁起來，割掉她的耳朵和鼻子，並且關在房間裡。然後，她陪同丈夫到祇樹給孤獨園。他們出發後不久，這女僕的親戚來他們的家，發現女傭被綁著關在房間裡，就將她鬆綁，並帶她到給孤獨園去。這女僕向佛陀敘說女主人對她的所作所為，她更站在群眾中間，讓大眾親眼目睹她家女主人的殘酷手段。佛陀因此說：

　　「不要犯惡行，以為不會為人所知。私下秘密犯下的惡行，一旦為人發掘，會招致更大的痛苦和哀傷。但善行可以悄悄的做，善行只會帶來幸福，而不是哀傷。」

　　這善妒的女主人承認她的惡行，並努力去除嫉妒心。後來，她也確實明白佛法。
