法苑珠林 67.32

67.32

第十復有眾生。常在雪山中寒風所吹皮肉剝裂求死不得。何罪所致。佛言。以前世時坐橫道作賊剝脫人衣。使冬月之日令他凍死。生剝牛羊痛不可堪。故獲斯罪。

Tenth, there are also sentient beings who are constantly in the snowy mountains, blown upon by cold winds so that their skin and flesh split open, seeking death but unable to die. What transgression caused this? The Buddha said: In their past lives, they acted as highway robbers, stripping people of their clothes and causing them to freeze to death during the winter months, or flayed cattle and sheep alive with unbearable agony. Therefore, they incurred this retribution.
