The Buddhist scriptures say the pitiful retribution for the transformation of hell.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
Indeed, I have heard for myself: At one time the Buddha was with the great bodhisattvas, shravakas, bhikshus, bhikkhunis, upasakas, upasi, gods, and dragons. , ghosts and spirits ... gathered at Mount Kisa-kut in the city of Vuong Xa.
Is it a sin to lie down and listen to Buddhist scriptures?
At that time the Bodhisattva Faithful General said to the Buddha:
- White Buddha, World-Honored One! Today, there are many hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals, slaves, rich and poor people gathered here, bowing to the Blessed One to speak the Dharma. If any sentient being could hear the Buddha's teachings, it would be like a child meeting his mother, like a sick person seeing a doctor, like a hungry person getting food, like a night light. Likewise, the Blessed One preached the Dharma for the benefit of sentient beings.
At that time, when the Blessed One saw that it was the right time, he also saw that the bodhisattvas earnestly prayed, and from the white hairs between his eyebrows, he sent light across the world, causing all suffering in the hells to cease. stop. At that time, all sentient beings who had committed sins suddenly followed that light to the Buddha's place, circumambulated the Buddha seven times, respectfully bowed down, and sincerely requested the Buddha to preach the Dharma so that all would be liberated.
