法苑珠林 17.74

17.74

又法華經云。若佛在世。若滅度後。其有誹謗如斯經典。見有讀誦書持經者。輕賤憎嫉而懷結恨。此人罪報汝今復聽。其人命終入阿鼻獄。具足一劫。劫盡更生。如是展轉至無數劫。從地獄出當墮畜生。於無數劫生輒聾瘂諸根不具。告舍利弗。謗斯經者。若說其罪窮劫不盡。

Furthermore, the Lotus Sūtra says: "Whether while the Buddha is in the world or after his extinction, if there are those who slander such a scripture as this, or seeing those who read, recite, copy, and uphold this scripture, despise, hate, and harbor grudge against them—now listen again to this person's sinful retribution: When this person's life ends, they will enter the Avīci Hell for a full kalpa; when the kalpa ends, they will be reborn [there] again; passing through cycles like this for incalculable kalpas. Emerging from hell, they will fall among animals; for incalculable kalpas, they will constantly be born deaf, mute, and with incomplete faculties. He addressed Śāriputra: 'If I were to speak of the sins of those who slander this sūtra, exhausted kalpas would not suffice.'"
