English version The Buddha Speaks of the Dharani Sutra of Great Compassion for Giving Food to Hungry Ghosts No. 1321 The Buddha Speaks of the Dharani Sutra of Great Compassion for Giving Food to Hungry Ghosts Translated by the Great Master Bhadramukha Thus: At one time, the Tathagata Shakyamuni was preaching the Dharma in the sea assembly, residing in the Lokesvara (嚧鸡舍婆罗) Bodhimanda on the Vajra Wheel Peak of Mount Guta, surrounded by an asamkhya (阿僧祇, countless) and indescribable fourfold assembly. He was seated on a Vajra eight-cornered lion throne, and as he was about to finish expounding the Vaipulya Dharma for the Bodhisattvas, the World-Honored One, out of compassion for the various beings in the evil realms, was about to expound the 'Cinna-pili-ta-mathara-panca-dharani' (嚫那毕利哆摩陀罗(二合)般遮陀罗尼) (translated in Tang as 'Dharani of the Great Assembly for Giving Food to Hungry Ghosts with the Taste of Sweet Dew'), the supreme and compassionate secret gate of goodness. Therefore, from his heart, he secretly emitted a moon-essence mani-colored light, named 'Sun-Moon Loving Compassionate Light'—reaching up to the peak of existence and down to Avici hell (阿鼻地狱), everything within was illuminated and clear, like a crystal mirror, reflecting images, even pervading the ten directions—He told the assembly, 'Good men! You should observe the bodies received by beings in the six realms, and the various sufferings.' Thereupon, the assembly, receiving the majestic power of the Buddha, having seen these things, all exclaimed, 'Yes! We have seen it!' The Buddha said, 'The eight sufferings of the world are not worth mentioning. The various calamities of the six realms are extremely frightening. The reason for this is that people in the world do not believe in the blessings of merit and the consequences of sin, slander the absence of cause and effect, are deluded and ignorant, and are stingy, greedy, and jealous. After death, they will fall into the Avici hell, fully enduring all kinds of inconceivable suffering. After emerging from hell, they are born into the realm of hungry ghosts, possessing all kinds of evil karma, receiving different retributions. Because of evil karma, they receive the bodies of thirty-six kinds of hungry ghosts, namely: preta (薜荔多鬼, translated in Tang as hungry ghost), chaya (车耶鬼, translated in Tang as shadow ghost), gandha (健驮鬼, translated in Tang as incense-eating ghost), puspa (布瑟波鬼, translated in Tang as food- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus, even in light and heavy holes, due to deep evil karma, hunger and thirst are like raging fire, jealousy burns fiercely, constantly greedy for food and drink, only thinking of broth, knowing nothing else, with all kinds of suffering and torment, indescribable. Gaining this body, like a huge pile of fire, its shape is emaciated, limbs are thin and weak, feet are like overturned basins. Skin is dry, blood vessels are withered, like jerky. The belly is large and swollen, its shape is like a drum. The throat is as thin as a needle, breath cannot pass through, and there is always a fierce fire burning within. The head stretches across five Sumeru Mountains, the fierce flames blaze, never ceasing for a moment. When moving the body, flames ignite, constantly tormented by hunger, thirst, and great fire, burning and disturbing the body and mind. Running east and west,鸣鸣calling and shouting, seeking food and drink. Even if seeing delicious food, wanting to go towards it, due to the power of annoying greed, the exquisite delicacies turn into pus and blood, with a foul odor overflowing. Even if seeing a great river, cool spring water, wanting to go and drink, the water gods strike them with iron rods. Even if there is no guardian, the cool cold water turns into flames. Moreover, eagles, vultures, crows, kites, [(面/且)*鸟], ospreys... various birds with iron beaks, peck at their eyes. Poisonous and evil beasts, hungry tigers, starving wolves, pythons, copper dogs, claw and tear, the suffering is unbearable. The body is sunken, the hair is disheveled. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

𣭱上答,于一毛端有万八千毒恶小虫之所唼食。诸饿鬼饥大逼故,瞋心转盛,更相残害,破脑出髓,互共啖食。五百劫中,尚不闻有浆水之名,何况得见?如是苦恼,不可为喻,非算数所知。以要而言,百千亿劫,具足受身,黑业薄劣,尔乃得脱。离彼已,又作种种虫兽,常处囿厕,或伏下流身诸恶臭处不净。   “诸善男子!是诸饿鬼,皆由前世愚痴颠覆、恼贪溥着、心刚如铁,但乐规求、剥削他人,不知厌足。父母、妻、子,悉不给与。师长教诲,视如粪秽。婢亲友不施。如是悭人,不虑无常,护惜财物,言作百年,加复教他,贪求藏积。不知无常、老、病相逐身。遇恶病,自知不久,常默念:‘我在生时,勤苦求财。我若死后,是诸恶人,食我财物,如吞猛火,居我屋宅,如处闇室。’作是念时,以恶业故,罗刹、狱卒变为恼人,收其资生,至罪人所,以火焚之,罪人欢喜。以此因缘,恶业道中,中阴相现。风大先动,失熅暖相,黄冷诸风,因便发动。恶风动故,筋脉痑[方*爰](痑音他但反),口中干燥,面目狐齿,遍体萎黄,腹胀粗锖,青黄脉现,饮食不消,身体羸瘦,口苦尿黄,目视脱精,唯见光焰,喉痹肿急,逆气噫满,心头恶臭,上衡其咽,声噤短气,遍身疮癞,脓血臭烂,受大苦楚。临欲终 现代汉语译本: 尊者回答说,在(饿鬼的)一根毛发的末端,有万八千个恶毒的小虫啃食。(这些)饿鬼因为极度饥饿的逼迫,嗔恨心更加强烈,互相残害,破开对方的头颅,取出脑髓,互相吞食。五百劫的时间里,尚且听不到浆水的名字,更何况能够见到?这样的苦恼,无法用比喻来形容,也不是算数所能知晓的。总而言之,要经历百千亿劫,完全承受这样的身躯,黑业稍微减轻,才能得以脱离。离开那里之后,又变成各种虫兽,常常处在肮脏的厕所里,或者趴在下水道等各种恶臭不干净的地方。 ‘各位善男子!这些饿鬼,都是因为前世愚痴颠倒、贪婪执着、心硬如铁,只喜欢谋划索取、剥削他人,不知满足。对于父母、妻子、儿女,都不肯给予。对于师长的教诲,视如粪土。对于奴婢亲友也不肯施舍。像这样悭吝的人,不考虑无常,守护爱惜财物,说要用一百年,还教别人,贪求积攒。不知道无常、衰老、疾病会跟随自身。遇到恶病,自己知道不久于人世,常常默默念叨:‘我在世的时候,勤劳辛苦地求取钱财。我如果死后,这些恶人,会吃我的财物,像吞下猛火一样,住我的屋宅,像处在黑暗的房间里一样。’当他这样想的时候,因为恶业的缘故,罗刹(Rākṣasa,恶鬼)、狱卒会变成恼人的形象,收走他的资财,带到罪人所在的地方,用火焚烧,罪人因此欢喜。因为这样的因缘,在恶业道中,中阴身(Antarābhava,死亡到投胎之间的过渡状态)的景象显现。风大(Vāyu-dhātu,构成身体的四大元素之一,指风元素)先动,失去温暖的迹象,寒冷发黄的风,因此发动。因为恶风的搅动,筋脉抽搐,口中干燥,面目像狐狸一样,遍体萎靡发黄,腹部胀大粗糙,青黄色的脉络显现,饮食不能消化,身体羸弱消瘦,口中发苦,尿液发黄,眼睛失去精光,只能看到光焰,喉咙肿胀急迫,逆气充满,心头恶臭,向上阻塞咽喉,声音嘶哑短促,遍身生满疮癞,脓血臭烂,承受巨大的痛苦。临近终了

English version: The Venerable one replied, 'At the tip of a single hair (of a hungry ghost), there are eighteen thousand venomous small insects that gnaw and devour. Because of the extreme hunger that torments them, these hungry ghosts' hatred intensifies, and they harm each other, breaking open each other's skulls, extracting the marrow, and devouring it together. For five hundred kalpas (aeons), they have not even heard the name of 'broth,' let alone seen it. Such suffering is beyond comparison and cannot be comprehended by calculation. In short, they must fully endure such a body for hundreds of thousands of billions of kalpas, and only when their black karma is slightly diminished can they escape. After leaving that state, they are reborn as various insects and beasts, constantly dwelling in filthy latrines, or lying in sewers and other foul and impure places.' 'Good men! These hungry ghosts are all due to their foolishness and delusion in their previous lives, their obsessive greed and attachment, and their hearts as hard as iron. They only delighted in scheming to acquire and exploit others, never knowing satisfaction. They would not give to their parents, wives, or children. They regarded the teachings of their teachers as filth. They would not give to servants, relatives, or friends. Such miserly people did not consider impermanence, guarding and cherishing their wealth, saying they would use it for a hundred years, and even teaching others to greedily accumulate it. They did not know that impermanence, old age, and sickness would follow them. When afflicted by a terrible illness, knowing that they would not live long, they would often silently think: 'When I was alive, I diligently and painstakingly sought wealth. If I die, these wicked people will eat my wealth, as if swallowing a raging fire, and live in my house, as if dwelling in a dark room.' As they think this, because of their evil karma, Rakshasas (Rākṣasa, demons) and prison guards transform into tormentors, seizing their possessions and taking them to the place where the condemned are, burning them with fire, causing the condemned to rejoice. Because of this cause and condition, in the path of evil karma, the intermediate state (Antarābhava, the state between death and rebirth) appears. The wind element (Vāyu-dhātu, one of the four elements constituting the body, referring to the wind element) moves first, losing the sensation of warmth, and cold, yellow winds then arise. Because of the movement of evil winds, the muscles and veins twitch, the mouth becomes dry, the face becomes fox-like, the entire body withers and turns yellow, the abdomen swells and becomes rough, blue and yellow veins appear, food cannot be digested, the body becomes emaciated and weak, the mouth tastes bitter, the urine is yellow, the eyes lose their luster, only seeing flames, the throat swells and tightens, reverse qi (energy) fills the chest, the heart emits a foul odor, blocking the throat, the voice becomes hoarse and short, the entire body is covered with sores and ulcers, pus and blood rot with a foul stench, and they endure great suffering. Approaching the end --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
