She has not done any favors to others and has been so selfish that she fell into Gaki-do.' and 'Prepare something special and recite sutra on July 15 after many priests finish the 90 days ascetic trainings of rainy season, and pray for her from the heart.'
すると釈迦は『お前の母の罪はとても重い。生前は人に施さず自分勝手だったので餓鬼道に落ちた』として、『多くの僧が九十日間の雨季の修行を終える七月十五日に、ご馳走を用意して経を読誦し、心から供養しなさい。』と言った。
