In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, they were renunciants who lacked the five virtues. Seeing that donors were constructing a monastery with an abundance of the four requisites, when the donors initially set out to build the monastery, they required the ghaṇṭī to be struck with the intention of providing broad relief. Yet these monks did not strike the ghaṇṭī, but tacitly enjoyed \[the provisions\]. When visiting monks arrived, they received no food or drink and departed with empty bowls. Because of these causes and conditions, they endure the torment of burning beds, clawing at one another until their flesh and sinews are consumed and their bones become like charred wicks, without ceasing down to the present day. As for the third temple, it was not a monastic temple, but beings in hell. In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, they were renunciants who dwelt together in indolence. They said to one another, 'Let us now jointly invite a monk who observes the Vinaya to perform the liturgical acts together with us, so that they may be done according to the Dharma.' Thereupon, they sought out a monk of pure conduct to reside, eat, and sleep together with them. This monk of pure conduct further sought out other monks of like practice, so that the number of practitioners of pure conduct gradually increased. The formerly indolent monks then chased them out and expelled them from the temple. In the middle of the night, those violators of the precepts set fire to the temple and destroyed the monks. Because of these causes and conditions, they hold iron clubs in their hands and shatter one another, suffering immense pain and affliction without ceasing down to the present day. As for the fourth temple, it was not a monastic temple, but also hell. In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, they were renunciants who permanently resided in the temple. When donors offered assorted food to the Saṃgha, it should have been distributed to those present. At that time, when visiting monks arrived, the resident monks, out of stinginess, waited until the guests had left before distributing the goods. Before they could distribute them, maggots bred and \[the food\] rotted and stank, and was thrown out. Because of these causes and conditions, they entered hell to eat human feces as food, without ceasing down to the present day. As for the fifth temple, it was not a monastic temple, but beings in hell. In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, they were renunciants who, at the midday meal, did not eat in accordance with the Dharma and verbally abused one another. Because of these causes and conditions, they suffer the torment of iron beds; boiling fire overflows their food vessels, their flesh and sinews are consumed, and their bones are like charred wicks, without ceasing down to the present day. As for the sixth temple, it was not a monastic temple, but beings in hell. In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, they were renunciants who did not strike the ghaṇṭī, but secretly drank the Saṃgha's sweet syrup together out of fear that outside monks would come. By reason of such stinginess, they fell into hell to drink molten copper, without ceasing down to the present day. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 92.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.24) - [Next: 92.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.26) - [Up: 92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.92.25) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.25) · Pramāṇa
