佛祖統紀 30.32

30.32

減至二十歲。入末法四千一百年。人長二尺。時疾疫災起。由人行惡復盛。俱遭病死。無人送埋。郡邑空荒。唯少家在。經七月七日其災方息。唯留萬人為種。人持善行。飲食衣服。天即雨下。

Decreasing to twenty years, entering 4,100 years into the Final Dharma, humans will be two feet tall. At that time the disaster of pestilence will arise, because people's practice of evil will flourish anew; all will fall sick and die, with no one to give them burial. Commanderies and towns will become desolate, with only a few households remaining. Only after seven months and seven days will this disaster cease, leaving only ten thousand people as seeds. As people uphold wholesome conduct, the heavens will then rain down food, drink, and clothing.
