佛說自愛經 1.20

1.20

The two men left together. After traveling thirty li, they stopped for the night, bought wine and drank it, jointly settling their business affairs, arguing incessantly. For the one with good thoughts, the Four Heavenly Kings dispatched good spirits to protect him. For the one whose venomous mind slandered the Buddha, a ghost of Mt. Tai caused the wine entering his intestines to burn like fire through his body; he went out to rest by the road and lay down, rolling over into a carriage rut. In the morning, a caravan of five hundred merchant wagons ran over and killed him. His companion searched and found him in that state, saying: 'Misfortune has befallen me! If I return to our home country, I will be suspected of seizing his goods; to leave is unrighteous.' Thereupon, abandoning the wealth, he fled alone, wandering far away from place to place.
