A group of ghosts were feeling guilty for their bad deeds and cried out these verses.
First Ghost:
Sixty thousand years have passed while we have been boiling in hell. When will this suffering end?
Second Ghost:
Dear friends, our suffering seems to last forever. This is the result of evil deeds done by us.
Third Ghost:
We were very evil in the human world. Even though we had lots of money, we did not practice generosity, we did not collect merit.
Fourth Ghost:
Once I escape from this ghost world and am reborn in the human world, I hope that I will be generous and virtuous. I must do many wholesome deeds.
