1.27

Śāriputra said to the Buddha: "After that seer threw himself into the pit of fire, where was he born?" The Buddha told Śāriputra: "After that seer threw himself into the pit of fire, he was born in the realm of Brahmā, where he spoke the great Brahmā Dharma broadly for everyone, until he attained Buddhahood and turned the great Brahmā wheel, and the sūtra he spoke was also named 'Ocean Cloud of Great Compassion and Light of the Loving-Kindness Samādhi'. In the prātimokṣa he established, one who does not practice loving-kindness is termed a violator of the precepts; one who eats meat violates a grave prohibition, and in the place where they are born in future lives they will constantly drink molten copper, until the time when that seer attains Buddhahood, as spoken in the Sūtra on the Descent of Maitreya Bodhisattva."
