慈悲道場懺法 3.38

3.38

"There are sentient beings whose bodies are short and small, yet their genitals are extremely large, dragging them until their bodies are exhausted, yet they still advance and pull them along, being hindered whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down. What sin has caused this?" The Buddha said: "In former lives, they engaged in commerce and trade, praising their own goods and disparaging others' wealth, cunningly manipulating dry measures and tampering with scales. Due to this evil karma, they receive this retribution of sin."
