佛說佛名經 30.41

30.41

The Buddha said: "In previous lives, when they were humans, they were self-willed and refused to believe good words and wholesome speech, were unfilial to their parents, and rebelled against the ruler of their time. Or, serving as emperors, great ministers, regional commanders of the four frontiers, governors, commandery administrators, magistrates, or imperial palace guards, they relied on their power and prestige to seize the people's property, causing people extreme hardship without justice or reason—it was for these offences that they incurred this punishment."
