佛說觀佛三昧海經 3.71

3.71

The Buddha told the women: "Those women at that time who fed the arhat were none other than you yourselves! Because you gave food to the monk with a wholesome mind, for two thousand kalpas you were never hungry or thirsty; yet because of the conditions of your previous malicious abuse and lustful desire, you fell into the dark hell for sixty minor kalpas. Because the wholesome mind of your previous aspiration was not extinguished, you now encounter my era and are able to receive the five precepts; it was because you made offerings to an arhat that you can see Śāriputra but cannot see my body."
