지장보살본원경 제１장 중 2부

There was a Brahman girl who had in past ages practiced great benevolences. Apart from being respected and honored by people. But her mother uttered evil against the Triple- Gems. When the mother died, she was reborn in the Avici Hell (Hell of unceasing sufferings). Conscious of this Karma, from her earnest and filial devotion of making offerings to the Buddha and that her mother was relieved. But all sinners of the Avici Hell also benefited from it, for they ascended to Heaven on the same day. The Sacred Girl expressed this strong vow, “I shall exercise my best to relieve people of their sufferings forever in my future lives of kalpas to come.”
