17.72

又大品經云。是人毀呰三世諸佛一切智。起破法業因緣集故。無量百千萬億歲墮大地獄中。是破法人輩。從一大地獄至一大地獄。若火劫起時至他方大地獄中。生在彼間。從一大地獄至一大地獄。彼間若火劫起時。復至他方大地獄中。生在彼間。從一大地獄至一大地獄。如是遍十方獄。彼間若火劫起。故從彼死。破法業因緣未盡故。還來是間大地獄中。生在此間。亦從一大地獄至一大地獄。受無量苦。此間火劫故復至十方他國土生畜生中。受破法罪業苦如地獄中說。重罪轉薄。或得人身。生盲人家。生旃陀羅家。生除廁擔死人種種下賤家。生若無眼。若一眼。若瞎眼。無舌無耳無手。所生之處無佛無法無佛弟子處生。何以故。種破法業積集厚故。

Furthermore, the Dapin jing (Larger Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra) says: "Because these people revile the omniscient knowledge of the Buddhas of the three periods, giving rise to and accumulating the causes and conditions of karma that destroys the Dharma, they fall into the great hells for immeasurable hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of years. Such Dharma-destroyers go from one great hell to another great hell. When the fire kalpa arises, they go to the great hells in other realms; born in that place, they go from one great hell to another great hell. If the fire kalpa arises in that place, they again go to the great hells in other realms; born in that place, they go from one great hell to another great hell. In this way, they traverse the hells throughout the ten directions. If the fire kalpa arises in that place, they die from that place, yet because their causes and conditions of Dharma-destroying karma are not yet exhausted, they return here to the great hells in this world. Born here, they likewise go from one great hell to another great hell, undergoing immeasurable suffering. Due to the fire kalpa in this world, they again go to other lands in the ten directions and are born among animals, undergoing the suffering of Dharma-destroying sinful karma as described for the hells. When their heavy sins gradually lighten, they may obtain human form, being born into blind households, into caṇḍāla households, or into various lowly households of latrine cleaners and corpse carriers; upon birth they are either eyeless, one-eyed, blind, tongueless, earless, or handless, and the places where they are born are places without Buddhas, without Dharma, and without disciples of the Buddha. Why is this? Because they planted and accumulated the karma of destroying the Dharma deeply and heavily."
