3.70

佛告諸女：「諦聽諦聽，善思念之！如來今者為汝分別。過去久遠無量世時，時世有佛，號一寶蓋燈王如來、應供、正遍知。彼佛滅後於像法中，有諸比丘入村乞食，執鉢持錫威儀不犯，至婬女家。時諸婬女取比丘鉢，盛滿鉢飯戲比丘言：『汝釋種子！顏色可惡猶如聚墨，身所著衣狀如乞人，汝之可惡天下無比，自言無欲誰當念汝？』爾時比丘聞此語已，擲鉢空中飛騰而去。諸女見已慚愧懺悔，而作是言：『我等今者施沙門食，願於來世身得自在猶如沙門。』」

The Buddha told the women: "Listen attentively, listen attentively, and reflect on it well! The Tathāgata will now explain it for you. Long ago in the distant past, immeasurable ages ago, there was a Buddha in the world named Ratnachattradīparāja Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha. After that Buddha's parinirvāṇa, during the Semblance Dharma, there were monks who entered a village to beg for food. Holding their alms bowls and sounding staffs, without violating decorum, they arrived at the house of courtesans. At that time, the courtesans took a monk's bowl, filled it with rice, and mockingly said to the monk: 'You son of the Śākyas! Your complexion is repulsive, like a pile of ink, and the clothes worn on your body resemble those of a beggar. Your repulsiveness is peerless in the world; you claim to be devoid of desire, so who would ever think of you?' At that time, the monk, having heard these words, threw his bowl into the air and flew away. Seeing this, the women felt shame and repented, saying: 'Now that we have given food to a śramaṇa, may our bodies in a future life attain freedom just like a śramaṇa.'"
