法苑珠林 92.37

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [92.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.92.37)

汝見馬者。是地獄人。迦葉佛時。作僧淨人使用供養。過分食噉。或與眷屬。知識白衣。諸比丘等。呵責語言。汝不應爾。其人惡口呵諸比丘。汝猶如馬常食不飽。我為僧作甚大勞苦。功熟應得。故入地獄。受於馬身。火燒身體受大苦惱。至今不息。

> 'The horse you saw was a person in hell. In the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, he was a monastery attendant who appropriated offerings, eating more than his due share, or giving them to his kin and lay acquaintances. When the monks reproved him, saying, "You should not do this," the man abusively scolded the monks, saying, "You are just like horses, eating constantly without ever being full! I work extremely hard for the Saṃgha, and my labour deserves this." Therefore, he entered hell, took the body of a horse, and has his body burned by fire, enduring great anguish without ceasing down to the present day.'
