佛說佛名經 12.15

12.15

We disciples today next perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in perpetual hunger in the hungry ghost destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in never hearing the word for water or gruel for hundreds of thousands of tens of millions of years in the hungry ghost destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in consuming pus, blood, and excrement in the hungry ghost destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in all limbs and joints catching fire whenever moving the body in the hungry ghost destiny; we perform kṣamā for the retribution of sin consisting in having huge bellies and narrow throats in the hungry ghost destiny. We perform kṣamā for all such measureless and boundless retributions of suffering in the hungry ghost destiny; therefore, today with utmost sincerity we knock our heads to the ground, take refuge, and offer kṣamā.
