大方便佛報恩經 4.29

4.29

"At that time, Pāpamitra, carrying the treasure pearl, returned to his home country. Meeting his parents, he said: 'Father and Mother! Through my own merit, I was able to survive. But because Prince Kalyāṇamitra and all his companions had little merit, they drowned and died to the last man.' When the parents heard these words, they raised their voices in loud weeping, swooned, and collapsed to the ground. Cold water was sprinkled on their faces, and only after a long time did they revive. The parents said to Pāpamitra: 'How could you show your face here?' When Pāpamitra heard these words, he felt remorseful and troubled, and he immediately buried the treasure pearl in the ground.
