清海無上師以英文講於法國巴黎 1993.4.25（影帶編號#360）
問：樣書中提到有一項戒律是不可賭博，這是指賭場的賭博或是任何比賽都算？
答：任何涉及大筆金錢並會引起人們之間的競爭，且讓人上癮或產生競賭氣氛的比賽，都算是賭博。
問：比方像足球賽呢？
答：足球賽可以。如果是以運動和聯誼的心態去玩足球，純粹只是為了消遣，那就沒關係。但如果輸了球就大打出手的話，那就不好了。
我認為任何比賽都應保持君子風度。因為在賭場輸太多錢時，很容易失去自己的尊嚴。而且很多人在賭場輸了錢，回家就變賣房屋家當，有時甚至還賣掉妻子兒女，這都是因為他們已經失去理智。
賭博還有其他無形的影響：很多阿修羅眾生或其他無形的眾生會一直環繞在嗜賭的人四周，驅使他們越賭越深，最後無法自拔。因此，我們最好遠離那種氣氛。
所以人們一旦開始賭博，就很難戒掉了。因為那些喜歡賭博的無形眾生經常跟在賭徒身邊，有時會利用這些人的身體來滿足他們想要賭博的欲望，所以人們才很難戒賭。酗酒、吸毒、抽菸都是一樣的情況。所以我們應該遠離這些有害又會讓人上癮的物質和氣氛。若你的天眼已開，就會看到毒窟、賭場中充斥著許多阿修羅惡靈。
所以那些喜歡賭博、吸毒或是有其他惡習的人即使拼命想戒掉，但總是做不到。這些惡習對我們真的很不好，但如果你的靈性等級很高，基於某些特殊理由，偶爾玩一、二次，當然不會那麼糟，你不會受到影響。但是一般人或意志力薄弱的人最好避而遠之，因為會上癮。

Stay Away from
Addictive Activities and Atmosphere
Spoken by Supreme Master Ching Hai, Paris, France,
April 25, 1993 (Originally in English) Videotape #360
Q: In the sample book it mentions that gambling is one of the things that is forbidden. Does this only refer to gambling in the casino, or any game?
M: Any game that involves a large sum of money and is involved with the kind of competition between people that breeds an addictive and also a kind of competitive atmosphere is considered gambling.
Q: So, football, for example?
M: Football is OK! If you play football with an attitude of sport, as companions, for pleasure only, then it’s all right. But when they play football and they hit each other when they lose, it’s no good.
I think in any game, we should just remain with the attitude of a gentleman. In the casino, when you lose too much money, you tend to lose your dignity. Also, many people who lose money in the casino come home and then even sell the house, sell the property, sometimes sell the children and wife, just because they get crazy.
There’s also another invisible side to gambling. For those people who like gambling, there are many astral beings or disembodied spirits who hang around them all the time and always push them to do more. So they can never get out of it. Therefore, we had better keep away from such atmospheres.
That’s why the people who begin to gamble, they hardly can get out. Because those disembodied spirits who love gambling always stand around them and sometimes use their bodies to satisfy their desire for gambling. That’s the reason why people find it difficult to quit. It’s the same with alcohol and other heavy drugs, even cigarettes. That’s why we should stay away from these harmful addictive substances and atmospheres. If you have the eyes to see in such places where drugs are heavily used or there is heavy gambling, there are a lot of “mauvais” (meaning bad or immoral) astral beings.
The people who love gambling or drugs or other addictive activities, even if they struggle to stop, they cannot do it. This would be harmful to us. But, for example, if you are very spiritually developed, and then for some special reason you play a game once or something like that, of course it’s not that terrible. You will not be affected by it. But for ordinary people or spiritually weak persons, it’s better to stay away from that, because it becomes addictive.
