法苑珠林 1.20

1.20

依新婆沙論云。然有聖言說彼對治。謂若有能一日一夜持不殺戒。於未來生決定不逢刀兵災起。若能以一訶梨怛雞菓。起殷淨心奉施僧眾。於當來世決定不逢疫病災起。若能以一團食施諸有情。於未來世決定不逢飢饉災時。問如是三災餘洲有不。答無根本災而有相似。謂瞋增盛身力羸劣數加飢渴。此說二洲。北拘盧洲亦無罪業而生彼故。又彼無有瞋增盛故。

According to the new Vibhāṣā-śāstra: However, there are sacred words explaining antidotes to them: if someone can uphold the precept against killing for one day and one night, in future lives they definitely will not encounter the arising of the calamity of weapons. If someone can, with an earnest and pure mind, present a single harītakī fruit as an offering to the saṃgha, in a future age they definitely will not encounter the arising of the calamity of pestilence. If someone can give a single morsel of food to sentient beings, in future lives they definitely will not encounter the time of the calamity of famine. Question: Do these three calamities occur in the other continents or not? Answer: The primary calamities do not occur, but there are similar ones—namely, rage increasing, physical strength deteriorating, and hunger and thirst repeatedly intensifying. This refers to the other two continents [Pūrvavideha and Avaragodānīya], because Uttarakuru also has no sinful karma for one to be born there, and furthermore they have no increasing of rage there.
