How could it fail to punish the licentious and bless the virtuous? Why is it that those who abandon and neglect \[the Dharma\] conversely enjoy advanced age, while those who venerate and respect it do not live out their natural lifespans? By all reckoning, accumulating fortune should prolong auspiciousness, and amassing evil should invite calamity.
