By what sin was this incurred? The Buddha said: 'Because in their past lives they were held guilty of lacking faith in the Three Jewels, of unfilial behavior toward parents, destroying stūpas and temples, stripping monks of their robes, shooting and hacking worthy and noble ones, harming teachers and elders, being utterly ungrateful, betraying kindness and forgetting righteousness, habitually acting opportunistically, and committing illicit intercourse without distinction of high or low and with no scruples, they have incurred this retribution.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 67.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.67.23) - [Next: 67.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.67.25) - [Up: 67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.67) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.67.24) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [佛說佛名經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.30.39) — Classical Chinese - [佛說罪業應報教化地獄經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.narrative.karmavipakanarakasutra*zh-an-shigao.1.8) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.67.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.67.24) · Pramāṇa
