| According to this sutra, when the honorable priest Mokuren, who was one of the Judai deshi (The Ten Chief Disciples of the historical Buddha, Sakyamuni) and called the top of divine power, looked for the whereabouts of his late mother, she became skin and bones in Gaki-do and was going through hell. |
この経典によると、釈迦仏の十大弟子で神通第一と称される目連尊者が、神通力により亡き母の行方を探すと、餓鬼道に落ち、肉は痩せ衰え骨ばかりで地獄のような苦しみを得ていた。 |
