Summary: Avatamsaka Sutra, Ten Grounds Chapter, Second Ground, covering following text paragraph: "The offense of greed and desire also causes living beings to fall into the three evil paths. If they are born among people, they have two kinds of retribution: one, their minds will never know contentment; two, they will have much desire which will never be satisfied." In Chinese "貪欲之罪亦令眾生墮三惡道;若生人中,得二種果報,一者心不知足,二者多欲無厭。"
