佛說觀佛三昧海經 5.12

5.12

「餓鬼道中，遇善知識諸大菩薩，呵責其言：『汝於前身無量世時，作無根罪，誹謗不信，墮阿鼻獄，受諸苦惱不可具說，汝今應當發慈悲心。』時諸餓鬼聞是語已稱：『南無佛！』稱佛恩力，尋即命終生四天處。生彼天已，悔過自責發菩提心，諸佛心光不捨是等，攝受是輩慈哀是等如羅睺羅，教避地獄如愛眼目。」

"In the realm of hungry ghosts, they meet kalyāṇamitras, the great bodhisattvas, who rebuke them, saying: 'In your former bodies throughout measureless lifetimes, you committed baseless offenses, slandered [the Dharma], and lacked faith, falling into the Avīci hell and receiving various sufferings that cannot be fully spoken of. You should now bring forth a compassionate mind.' When the hungry ghosts hear these words, they recite: 'Namo Buddhāya!' Relying on the power of the Buddha's grace, they immediately pass away and are born in the realm of the Four Heavenly Kings. Having been born in that heaven, they repent their faults, rebuke themselves, and arouse bodhicitta. The light of the Buddhas' minds does not abandon them; it gathers them in with compassionate pity for them, just as for Rāhula, teaching them to avoid the hells just as one protects one's own eyes."
