Paṭhama Chiggaḷayuga Sutta

Sutta

以百年方浮出水面一次的盲龜偶遇獨孔浮木、頸穿其中的機率,比喻墮入惡趣的愚人再得人身之難得的一部經。

It is more probable that a blind turtle, rising to the surface only once in a hundred years, should put his neck through a yoke (chiggala) with a single hole, floating about in the ocean, than that a fool who has gone to the Downfall should become a man again (S.v.455; cp. M.iii.169; Thig.500).
