百喻經之八四: 月蝕打狗喻
§84 月蝕打狗喻
(84) dogs were beaten when the lunar eclipse happened
昔阿修羅王見日月明凈，以手障之。無智常人，狗無罪咎，橫加于惡。
once upon a time, there was a king of asuras who covered the moon with his hands when he thought it too bright. however, the stupid men laid the blame on innocent dogs, which were sometimes unjustly beaten.
凡夫亦爾。貪嗔愚癡，橫苦其身，臥荊棘上，五熱炙身，如彼月蝕，枉橫打狗。
this is also held to be true with the people at large. they often suffer from the desires, anger and ignorance. but they want to destroy them by sleeping on thorns and their bodies are burning with the five pains just like the dogs were beaten when the lunar eclipse happened.
