English version: The hill replied, 'The people of Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, referring to the world we live in) are by nature difficult to believe. If you go to the Buddha, you can ask the Buddha.' That person immediately became frightened and terrified, left the temple, and fled. Continuing on the road not far, he encountered another temple. This temple was solemn and vast, exceptionally exquisite and beautiful. He also heard the sound of the ghanta (ghantha, a type of bell) and saw bhiksus (bhiksu, Buddhist monks). He immediately asked them, 'For what reason is the ghanta being struck?' The bhiksu replied, 'The Sangha (Sangha, the Buddhist monastic community) is about to eat.' He thought to himself, 'I have come from afar today and am very hungry; I also need to eat.' After entering the monastery, he saw the Sangha gathered together, the tableware laid out, all ablaze with flames. The people and the buildings were all ablaze with flames, just as before. Sangha Raksha (Sangha Raksha, a name) asked, 'Who are you?' Those people replied, 'No different from before.' Sangha Raksha was frightened and terrified, and left even more quickly. Continuing on the road not far, he encountered another temple. The solemn appearance of this temple was the same as before. After entering the monastery, he again saw the bhiksus sitting on beds of fire, scratching and beating each other. Their flesh was gone, their ribs were exposed, and their internal organs and bone marrow were like charred candles. Sangha Raksha asked, 'Who are you?' The bhiksu replied, 'The people of Jambudvipa are by nature difficult to believe. If you go to the Buddha, you can ask the Buddha.' Sangha Raksha was frightened and terrified, and again left quickly. Continuing on the road not far, he encountered another temple. As before, he entered the temple and saw the Sangha sitting together eating. The bhiksus said, 'You must leave now.' Sangha Raksha hesitated and had not yet left when he saw that the bhiksus' bowls contained only human excrement, hot and bubbling. At that time, all the bhiksus were eating this excrement. After eating, flames burned their throats and internal organs, all turning into smoke and ash, flowing down and passing straight through their bodies. Seeing this, Sangha Raksha was frightened and terrified, and again left quickly. After leaving there not far, he saw another temple. The solemn appearance of this temple was the same as before. He entered the monastery and saw the bhiksus holding iron hammers, striking each other, crushing each other into dust. Seeing this, Sangha Raksha was frightened and terrified, and continued on his way. After leaving there not far, he saw another temple. The solemn beauty of this temple was also the same as before. He entered the monastery and heard the sound of the ghanta. Sangha Raksha asked: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'Why are you beating the children?' The monks replied, 'We want to drink sweet syrup.' The monk Sangharakshita (protector of the Sangha) thought to himself, 'I am thirsty and hungry now, I need to drink sweet syrup.' So he entered the crowd and saw various eating utensils, beds, and bedding. The monks were cursing and insulting each other, and the utensils were filled with molten copper. The monks were drinking and eating it together, and after eating, flames burned their throats and internal organs, all turning into charcoal fire, flowing down and passing straight through. Seeing this, Sangharakshita was terrified and continued on his way. He had not gone far when he saw a large expanse of flesh-ground, with flames blazing fiercely, and cries of pain, unbearable suffering.
