佛祖統紀 30.31

30.31

減至三十歲。入末法三千一百年。人長三尺。時饑饉災起。由人民皆行十惡。草菜米穀五種上味。悉皆隱沒。唯煎朽骨共為燕會。若遇一粒粟稗藏護如寶。六七年來天不降雨。尚不得水。何況飲食。人多餓死。郡益空荒。七年七月七日其災方息。時有一人合集男女有福德者。凡得萬人。留為人種。人能行善。所須飲食。天即雨下（雜出阿毘曇論瑜伽對法論中阿含經莊椿錄等文）。

Decreasing to thirty years, entering 3,100 years into the Final Dharma, humans will be three feet tall. At that time the disaster of famine will arise, because the people will all practice the ten unwholesome deeds. Grasses, vegetables, rice, grains, and the five kinds of superior flavors will all disappear; people will only boil rotten bones together for banquets. If they come upon a single grain of millet or tare, they will hide and protect it like a jewel. For six or seven years the heavens will not send down rain; they will not even get water, let alone food or drink. Most people will starve to death, and the commanderies will become increasingly desolate. Only after seven years, seven months, and seven days will this disaster cease. At that time, a person will gather together meritorious men and women, totaling ten thousand people, keeping them as seeds of humanity. When people are able to practice good, the heavens will then rain down the food and drink they require (drawn variously from the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya, the Yogācārabhūmi-abhidharma, the Madhyamāgama, the Zhuangchun lu, and other texts).
