t17n0749 buddha speaks of the sangha protected sutra of causation.g2.0f

English

English version: 'Having finished eating, (he) stayed until the next day.' Because of this cause and condition, (he) fell into hell, enduring the body of a white elephant, suffering from the burning of fire, which has not ceased until now. The donkey you see is actually not a donkey, but a person from hell. During the time of Kāśyapa Buddha (Kāśyapa Buddha), he was a renunciant, serving as a cook in the Saṃgha, lacking the five virtues. When distributing food to the Saṃgha, he always took the share of two or three people for himself. The Vinaya-abiding Bhikṣus righteously rebuked him. This person replied: 'I manage the Saṃgha's kitchen and the fruits and vegetables in the garden, constantly taking care of the Saṃgha's affairs, which is very laborious. You Bhikṣus do not know my kindness, looking like donkeys, only caring for yourselves, why don't you shut up!' Because of this cause and condition, (he) fell into hell, enduring suffering in the body of a donkey, which has not ceased until now. The ram you see is actually not a sheep, but a person from hell. During the time of Kāśyapa Buddha (Kāśyapa Buddha), he was a steward of the Saṃgha monastery, managing internal and external affairs, not instructing the disciples, (allowing) the junior Bhikṣus to improperly beat the *zhì* (a type of plant). The Vinaya masters and others reported: 'Abbot! Why don't you strike the *zhì* to gather the Saṃgha at the appropriate time?' The Bhikṣu replied: 'I manage the Saṃgha's affairs, which is very laborious. You Bhikṣus are like rams, only eating and drinking, why don't you strike it yourselves?' Because of this cause and condition, (he) fell into hell, enduring the form of a ram, suffering from the burning of fire, which has not ceased until now. At that time, the World Honored One further told the Bhikṣu Saṃgharakṣa (Saṃgharakṣa): 'The meat platform you see is actually not a platform, but a person from hell. During the time of Kāśyapa Buddha (Kāśyapa Buddha), he was a renunciant, in charge of the bedding in the Saṃgha's rooms, closing the doors of the Saṃgha's rooms, moving the Saṃgha's beds, hiding them everywhere, causing the Saṃgha to later not be able to obtain bedding and rooms. Because of this cause and condition, (he) fell into hell, becoming a large meat platform, suffering from the burning of fire, which has not ceased until now. The second large meat platform you see is actually not a platform, but a person from hell. During the time of Kāśyapa Buddha (Kāśyapa Buddha), he was a renunciant, serving as the abbot of the Saṃgha monastery, selecting good rooms for himself and his acquaintances, not following the Vinaya, arbitrarily distributing rooms, because of the unfairness, (he) fell into hell, becoming a large meat platform. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ,受苦万端,至今不息。

English version: Suffering all kinds of pain, and still not ceasing. 'What you see as a meat house is not actually a meat house, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (迦叶佛), he was a monk who lived in the monastery, but treated it as his own, refusing to move out for his entire life, not following the precepts, and distributing the rooms in order. Because of this cause, he became a large meat house, burned by fire, enduring suffering, and still not ceasing.' At that time, the World Honored One further told Sangharaksa (僧护): 'What you see as a meat rope bed is not actually a bed, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (迦叶佛), he was a monk who took the rope beds of the Sangha, not following the precepts, treating them as his own, and distributing the beds in order. Because of this cause, he fell into hell, became a meat rope bed, burned by fire, enduring suffering, and still not ceasing.' 'What you see as the second rope bed is not actually a bed, but a person in hell.

'What you see as a meat rope bed is not actually a bed, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (迦叶佛), he was a monk who relied on the power of the king, pretending to have saintly virtues, and the fourfold disciples praised him with a saintly mind. At that time, that bhiksu (比丘) silently accepted the praise, accepted good rope beds and all kinds of good food, accepting them with a saintly mind. Because of this cause, he fell into hell, became a meat rope bed, burned by fire, enduring suffering, and still not ceasing.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。

English version ‘What you see as a wall of flesh is not actually a wall, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a monk who drove stakes into the wall of the Sangha (community of monks), damaging the wall, and hung his robes and bowl on them. Because of this cause, he fell into hell, becoming a large wall of flesh, burned by fire and suffering, and has not ceased until now. ‘What you see as a rope of flesh is not actually a rope, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a monk who took the Sangha's (community of monks) rope and used it for his own personal gain. Because of this cause, he fell into hell, becoming a large rope of flesh, burned by fire and suffering, and has not ceased until now. ‘What you see as a latrine pit is not actually a latrine, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a bhiksu (bhiksu, monk) living in a monastery who urinated and defecated anywhere on the pure land of the Buddha and Sangha (community of monks), without choosing a proper place. The Vinaya-abiding bhiksu (bhiksu, monk) rightfully rebuked him, but he did not accept the teaching, and the foul odor of his excrement polluted the Sangha (community of monks). Because of this cause, he fell into hell, becoming a latrine pit of flesh, burned by fire and suffering, and has not ceased until now. ‘What you see as a Dharma master on a high seat is not actually a Dharma master, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a monk who did not understand the Vinaya (monastic discipline), making heavy offenses seem light, and light offenses seem heavy; saying that those with roots of offense had no roots; saying that those without roots had roots; saying that those who should repent did not need to repent; and forcing those who should not repent to say that they did. Because of this cause, he fell into hell, sitting on a high seat, burned by fire and suffering, and has not ceased until now. ‘What you see as the second high seat is not actually a Dharma master, but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a great Dharma master who preached with wrong livelihood, and when he received offerings, he preached according to the Dharma (teachings); but when he received no offerings, he said that what was Dharma was not Dharma, and that what was not Dharma was Dharma. Because of this cause, he fell into hell, sitting on an iron high seat, burned by fire and suffering, and has not ceased until now. ‘What you hear as the screaming sound of a flesh ghanda (flesh lump) is not actually a ghanda (ghanta, a bell-like instrument used in monasteries to gather the assembly), but a person in hell. During the time of Kasyapa Buddha (Kasyapa Buddha), he was a monk who used the property of the Three Jewels (Triratna, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) to illegally strike the ghanda (ghanta, a bell-like instrument used in monasteries to gather the assembly), falsely performing karma (karma, action), and taking the property of the Three Jewels (Triratna, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) for his own enjoyment.
