Sarvashura, if anyone had personally committed, or asked others to commit, or compliantly rejoiced the five heinous sins, he would suffer in the five uninterrupted hells; but if he can hear even four lines of verse from this Dharma, then all those sins will be cleared.”"
"Then, that Buddha said these Gatha(verses) for me:
”Now listen to me,
about the merits and virtues of hearing this Sutra.
In the past there was a person,
who had committed all the five heinous karmas,
including killing his parents,
destroying the solidarity of Sanghas,
demolishing the towers(stupa),
disturbing the Samadhis of Bodhisattvas,
and mangling the Buddha Dharmas.
Having committed those sins,
he became repentant,
worrying and weeping,
he thought:
”I have committed many evil karmas,
which will destroy not only my present body,
but also the bodies of my consequent lifetimes,
for many kalpas.
I will be reborn from suffering to suffering,
while the feeling of suffering will become deeper and deeper;
I will be apart from virtuous friends,
and be despised and abused by people.
I had lost both the mundane-dharma(loka-dharma)s and the super-mundane-dharmas;
my virtuous roots are destroyed,
so that they cannot grow for immeasurable kalpas.
Just like a hall decorated with beautiful paintings,
suddenly be burnt by a fire,
then people will no longer like it.
My sinning is like that,
in this lifetime and consequent lifetimes,
I will always be burnt by the fire of karma,
and be disliked by others and myself.
Wherever I will be born in my consequent lifetimes,
the others will always despise, strike, scold, and insult me;
poverty, hunger and thirst,
will always be with me.
I will suffer from myriads of afflictions,
such retributions,
are all come from the five karmas that I had committed.
How miserable I am now, who can save me
None of my relatives or friends can,
no one can be my dependence.”
He continued to think:
”So why not just go to the summit of a high mountain,
and jump down to end this life,
to avoid committing more evil karma,
and producing more afflictions.
My present lifetime and coming lifetimes,
are destroyed by the evil karmas,
both inside and outside my body,
there is not any dependence.
The cause created by the faults that I had committed,
will lead to the extremely dreadful results.”
Thinking of this,
He cried and wept again.
At that time from the sky,
a heavenly god said to him:
”How miserable!
Because of your ignorance,
various afflictions have been born from your heart,
and you have no dependence or savior.
You yourself have committed the five heinous karmas,
Including killing your parents, and so forth,
thus you are worrying now,
and willing to climb to a high mountain and kill yourself.
Now I persuade you,
not to follow that foolish idea.
You should confess what you have done,
but do not kill yourself.
The three poisons: greed, anger and ignorance,
are produced from your heart,
thus by doing that,
you will not be able to escape from the afflictions of evil reincarnations.
Wishing to end your life,
is not called diligence,
when your current life ends,
the tragic retributions will immediately come.
Now please listen to me,
there is an expedient for you.
The holy Way of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas,
You are not yet able to proceed to.
Now you can go to a mountain,
where a supernatural person (rsi) cultivates inside.
You should pay homage to him,
he can save and protect you.
He has the supreme expedient means,
which is called the superior wonderful true Dharma,
it can bring you away from fears,
and eliminate extremely evil karmas.”
Having heard the words …
