Once the nailing is done, fire spontaneously blazes up and burns their bodies until they are completely charred and festering. What sin has caused this?" The Buddha said: "In former lives, they served as acupuncturists, harming people's bodies without curing their illnesses, deceiving others to obtain their goods and causing them pain and distress. Thus they receive this retribution of sin." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1909.3.20) - [Next: 3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1909.3.22) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1909.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1909~en-mt.3.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛說佛名經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.30.49) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1909.3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1909.3.21) · Pramāṇa
