English version: The Buddha said, 'Since the Parinirvana of Kasyapa Buddha, they have been suffering in hell, and it has not ceased until now.' The Buddha told Samgharakshita, 'The first temple you saw is not a temple of monks, nor is it inhabited by bhiksus (monks); it is inhabited by people from hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha, they were renunciants, but they did not possess the five virtues. They used the property of the Sangha (monastic community) from all directions without ringing the ghanta (bell), using it silently together. Because of this cause, they suffer the pain of the fire bed. Since the Parinirvana of Kasyapa Buddha, they have been suffering in hell, and it has not ceased until now.' 'The second temple you saw is also not a temple of monks, nor is it inhabited by bhiksus; it is inhabited by people from hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha, they were renunciants who did not possess the five virtues. The danapatis (donors) and others built temples, and the four requisites were abundant. The danapatis initially intended, when building the temple, to ring the ghanta, with the intention of providing widespread relief. These bhiksus did not ring the ghanta, but silently enjoyed the offerings. When guest bhiksus came, they did not receive food and drink, and left with empty bowls. Because of this cause, they suffer the pain of the fire bed, scratching and beating each other, their muscles and flesh wasting away, their bones like burnt candles. Since the Parinirvana of Kasyapa Buddha, they have been suffering such pain, and it has not ceased until now.' 'The third temple you saw is not a temple of monks, nor is it inhabited by bhiksus; it is inhabited by people from hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha, they were lazy bhiksus, many living together, saying to each other, 'We can now invite a Vinaya-holding bhiksu to perform Dharma ceremonies together, so that we can obtain what is in accordance with the Dharma.' Immediately they searched and found a pure-conduct bhiksu to live and eat with them. This pure-conduct bhiksu then sought out fellow bhiksus of similar conduct. At that time, the number of pure-conduct people increased, and they chased and expelled the others from the temple. Then the precept-breaking people, in the middle of the night, burned the temple with fire, destroying all the bhiksus. Because of this cause, they hold iron hammers in their hands, destroying and annihilating each other. Since the Parinirvana of Kasyapa Buddha, they have been suffering great distress, and it has not ceased until now.' 'The fourth temple you saw is not a temple of monks, nor is it inhabited by bhiksus; it is inhabited by people from hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha, they were renunciants who lived permanently in the temple. When the danapatis offered oil and meat, they should' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

现前分。时有客僧来,旧住比丘以悭心故,待客出去,后方欲分。未及得分,虫出臭烂,捐弃于外。以是因缘,入地狱中,啖粪屎食。从迦叶佛涅槃以来,受苦不息。 “汝见第五寺者,非是僧寺,亦非比丘,是地狱人。迦叶佛时,是出家人,临中食上,不如法食,恶口相骂。以是因缘,受铁床苦,诸食器中,沸火漫流,筋肉消尽骨如焦炷。从迦叶佛涅槃以来,至今不息。 “汝见第六寺者,非是僧寺,亦非比丘,是地狱人。迦叶佛时,是出家人,不打犍稚,默然共饮众僧甜浆,恐外僧来。悭因缘故,堕地狱中,饮啖融铜。从迦叶佛涅槃以来受苦,至今不息。” 尔时,佛复告僧护比丘:“汝见第一地者,非是大地,是地狱人。迦叶佛时,是出家人,众僧田中,为己私种,不酬僧直。持律比丘,依戒呵责:‘汝今云何不酬僧直?’是人尔时依恃王势,不受教诲,答诸比丘:‘我是汝奴?汝若有力,何不自种?’以是因缘,受大地狱苦。从迦叶佛涅槃以来,至今不息。 “汝见第二地者,非是大地,乃是罪人。迦叶佛时,是白衣人,在僧田种,不酬僧直。以是因缘,堕地狱中,作大肉地,受诸苦恼,至今不息。 “汝见第一肉𤬪者,非是肉𤬪乃是罪人。迦叶佛时,是众僧上座,不能禅诵 现代汉语译本: 现前分。当时有位云游僧人来访,一位原先住在此地的比丘因为吝啬的缘故,等云游僧人离开后,才想分食物。还没来得及分,食物就生虫腐烂发臭,被丢弃到外面。因为这个因缘,他堕入地狱中,吃粪便污秽之物。从迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)涅槃以来,受苦至今没有停止。 ‘你看到的第五座寺庙,不是僧人的寺庙,也不是比丘,而是地狱中的人。在迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)时期,他是一位出家人,临近中午用餐时,不如法地分配食物,还恶语相骂。因为这个因缘,他遭受铁床之苦,各种食器中,沸腾的火焰四处蔓延,筋肉消尽,骨头像烧焦的蜡烛。从迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)涅槃以来,至今没有停止。’ ‘你看到的第六座寺庙,不是僧人的寺庙,也不是比丘,而是地狱中的人。在迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)时期,他是一位出家人,不敲犍稚(ghanta,报时用具),默默地和大家一起喝众僧的甜浆,害怕外来的僧人也来喝。因为悭吝的因缘,堕入地狱中,饮用融化的铜汁。从迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)涅槃以来受苦,至今没有停止。’ 当时,佛陀又告诉僧护(Sangharakshita)比丘:‘你看到的第一块地,不是普通的大地,而是地狱中的人。在迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)时期,他是一位出家人,在众僧的田地里,为自己私自种植作物,不付给僧众应有的报酬。持戒的比丘,依据戒律呵斥他:‘你现在为什么不付给僧众应有的报酬?’这个人当时依仗着国王的势力,不接受教诲,回答众比丘说:‘我是你们的奴隶吗?你们如果自己有能力,为什么不自己种?’因为这个因缘,遭受大地狱的痛苦。从迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)涅槃以来,至今没有停止。 ‘你看到的第二块地,不是普通的大地,而是罪人。在迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)时期,他是一位在家居士,在僧众的田地里种植作物,不付给僧众应有的报酬。因为这个因缘,堕入地狱中,变成一大块肉地,遭受各种苦恼,至今没有停止。 ‘你看到的第一块肉𤬪(一块肉),不是普通的肉𤬪(一块肉),而是罪人。在迦叶佛(Kasyapa Buddha)时期,他是众僧的上座,不能禅修背诵。

English version: Present apportionment. At that time, a visiting monk came, and an old resident Bhikshu (monk) , due to stinginess, waited for the guest to leave before intending to share. Before he could share, the food became worm-infested and rotten, and was discarded outside. Because of this cause, he fell into hell, eating excrement and filth. Since the Nirvana (death) of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he has been suffering without ceasing. 'The fifth temple you see is not a temple for monks, nor is it for Bhikshus (monks); it is for people in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a monastic, and near lunchtime, he did not apportion food according to the Dharma (teachings), and they cursed each other with harsh words. Because of this cause, he suffers the pain of an iron bed, and in all the eating utensils, boiling fire spreads everywhere, flesh and muscle are exhausted, and bones are like burnt candles. Since the Nirvana (death) of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), it has not ceased until now.' 'The sixth temple you see is not a temple for monks, nor is it for Bhikshus (monks); it is for people in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a monastic, and without striking the ghanta (ghanta, a time-telling instrument), they silently drank sweet juice belonging to the Sangha (monastic community) together, fearing that outside monks would come. Because of the cause of stinginess, he fell into hell, drinking molten copper. Since the Nirvana (death) of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he has been suffering, and it has not ceased until now.' At that time, the Buddha again told the Bhikshu (monk) Sangharakshita (Sangharakshita): 'The first land you see is not ordinary land; it is people in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a monastic, and in the Sangha's (monastic community) fields, he planted for his own private gain, without compensating the Sangha (monastic community). A Bhikshu (monk) upholding the precepts, rebuked him according to the precepts: 'Why do you not compensate the Sangha (monastic community) now?' At that time, this person relied on the power of the king, did not accept instruction, and answered the Bhikshus (monks): 'Am I your slave? If you have the strength, why don't you plant it yourselves?' Because of this cause, he suffers the pain of the great hell. Since the Nirvana (death) of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), it has not ceased until now. 'The second land you see is not ordinary land; it is a sinner. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a layman, planting in the Sangha's (monastic community) fields, without compensating the Sangha (monastic community). Because of this cause, he fell into hell, becoming a large mass of flesh, suffering all kinds of afflictions, and it has not ceased until now. 'The first lump of meat you see is not an ordinary lump of meat; it is a sinner. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was the senior monk of the Sangha (monastic community), unable to meditate and recite scriptures.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of this cause and condition, they enter into hell, becoming large masses of flesh, burned by fire, enduring suffering, and have not ceased until now. ‘The second mass of flesh you see is not a real mass of flesh, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha, he was a renunciate, not possessing the five virtues, in charge of the kitchen for the Sangha, eating the soft and delicious offerings first, and distributing the coarse and unpalatable ones to the Sangha. Because of this cause and condition, he entered into hell, becoming a large mass of flesh, burned by fire, enduring suffering, and has not ceased until now. ‘The third mass of flesh you see is not a real mass of flesh, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha, he was a lay attendant (one who takes care of miscellaneous tasks for the Sangha) of the Sangha.

There were donors (donor) who offered ghee pots to the present Sangha, and everyone should have received a share. This person in charge secretly kept some back when there were visiting monks (visiting monk), and only distributed it after the visiting monks had left.
