(Shurangama Sutra, Volume 8-14)

"Moreover, Ananda, if while repaying his past debts by undergoing rebirth as an animal, such a living being pays back more than he owed, he will then be reborn as a human to rectify the excess. If the creditor is a person with strength, blessings, and virtue, then he can pay what he collected in excess without having to lose his human form. But if he lacks blessings, then he will be reborn as an animal to pay the outstanding balance."

"Ananda, if the debt involves money, material goods, or manual labor, then once it is paid, the debt is resolved. But if in the process of repayment the lives of other beings were taken or their flesh eaten, then it will start a cycle of mutual devouring and slaughtering that will send the debtors and creditors up and down endlessly for as many eons as there are atoms of universe. There is no way to put a stop to it, except through Shamatha or through a Buddha's coming to the world."

"You should know that when owls and their kind have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are born as obstinate people."

"When creatures that are inauspicious have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are born as abnormal people."

"When foxes have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are born as people who are simpletons."

"When creatures of the venomous category have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are born as malicious people."

"When tapeworms and their like have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are born as lowly people."

"When the edible types of creatures have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are reborn as weak people."

"When creatures that are used for clothing or service have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are reborn as people who do hard labor."

"When creatures that migrate have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are reborn as literary people."

"When efficacious creatures have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are reborn as intelligent people."

"When domestic animals have paid back their debts, they regain their original form and are reborn as sophisticated people."

"Ananda, these are all beings that have finished paying back former debts and are born again in the human realm. They are involved in a beginningless scheme of karma and delusion and spend their lives killing and being killed by one another. They do not get to meet the Tathagata or hear the Proper Dharma. They just abide in the wearisome dust, passing through a repetitive cycle. Such people can truly be called pitiful."

(楞嚴經卷第八之14)  

復次阿難！從是畜生酬償先債。若彼酬者分越所酬。此等眾生，還復為人，反徵其剩。如彼有力兼有福德。則于人中不捨人身，酬還彼力。若無福者，還為畜生，償彼餘值。阿難當知。若用錢物，或役其力，償足自停。如於中間，殺彼身命，或食其肉。如是乃至經微塵劫，相食相誅。猶如轉輪，互為高下，無有休息。除奢摩他及佛出世，不可停寢。汝今應知。彼梟倫者，酬足復形，生人道中，參合頑類。彼咎徵者，酬足復形，生人道中，參合異類。彼狐倫者，酬足復形，生人道中，參於庸類。彼毒倫者，酬足復形，生人道中，參合很類。彼蛔倫者，酬足復形，生人道中，參合微類。彼食倫者，酬足復形，生人道中，參合柔類。彼服倫者，酬足復形，生人道中，參合勞類。彼應倫者，酬足復形，生人道中，參于文類。彼休徵者，酬足復形，生人道中，參合明類。彼諸循倫，酬足復形，生人道中，參于達類。阿難！是等皆以宿債畢酬，復形人道。皆無始來業計顛倒，相生相殺。不遇如來，不聞正法，于塵勞中法爾輪轉。此輩名為可憐愍者。
