佛說佛名經 4.161

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.161](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.4.161)

羅剎答曰：「此諸沙門不持佛戒、不畏苦報，貪求利養名聞心不慚愧，犯四重禁而言持清淨行。曾受人信施貪求飲食，白衣施重甚為難消而言我消，不知三寶四諦因緣，亦如大海不知滿足。以是因緣，墮地獄苦經千萬劫，出生為人瘖瘂不語。」

> The rākṣasa answered, saying: "These śramaṇas did not uphold the Buddha's precepts and did not fear suffering retribution; greedy for gain, offerings, and fame, they felt no shame in their hearts. They violated the four gravest prohibitions yet claimed to uphold pure conduct. Having received the faithful offerings of others, they were greedy for food and drink; offerings from laypeople are heavy and extremely difficult to digest, yet they said, 'I can digest them.' They did not know the causes and conditions of the Triratna and the Four Noble Truths, and like the great ocean, they knew no contentment. By these causes and conditions, they fall into the suffering of hell for thousands of myriads of kalpas, and when reborn as humans, they are mute and unable to speak."
