(The Sutra of the Master of Healing -- 34)

Then Ananda asked the Bodhisattva Seeker of Salvation: "Pious man, how can a life that has come to an end be prolonged?"

The Bodhisattva Seeker of Salvation said: "Virtuous One, did you hear that the Tathagatas say that there are nine kinds of violent deaths? Therefore, I exhort you to hang up the life prolonging banner, to light up the lamps, and to perform the pious deeds. By performing the pious deeds, one's life come to a natural end without suffering from any painful experience."

Ananda asked: "what are the nine kinds of violent deaths?"

The Bodhisattva Seeker of Salvation said: "The nine violent deaths are;

(1) There are beings who become sick. Though the sickness is not serious but there is neither medicine nor a doctor for the treatment. In case they take the wrong medicine, they may meet violent death which can very well be avoided. Some trust in Maras and Heretics, or masters of magical and bewitching powers. From a frivolous prediction of good or bad luck, fear and uneasiness arises. Those people whose own heart cannot clearly discern, question fortune-tellers whether misfortunes awaits them. Some kill living beings for a sacrifice in order to propitiate the spirits. Some call out to the evil spirits and ask for protection, they wish to prolong their lives, but all to no avail. They are ignorant of the right way. They believe in heterodox views, not recognising the doctrine of moral karma. This leads in the end to a  violent death. They enter into hell and can never get out of it. This is the first violent death.

(2)  Some are violently executed by order of the law.

(3) Some hunt for pleasure, lead and unrestrained life with women and wine, and dissipated without halt and limit. Then the fiends come and violently snatch their spiritual vigour.

(4) Some come to a violent end by being burnt by fire.

(5) Some come to a violent end by being drowned.

(6) Some come to a violent end by being devoured by wild beasts.

(7) Some come to a violent end by falling from a steep cliff.

(8) Some come to a violent end by being destroyed by poison, by image spell Vetala, by spoken-spell Dharani, or by demonical influence to resurrect a corpse and cause it kill another person.

(9) Some suffer hunger and thirst, do not get anything to eat or drink and thus die an untimely death.

"These are what Tathagata briefly named as the nine kinds of violent deaths. Besides, there are innumerable other kinds which cannot all be told here."

(藥師琉璃光如來本願功德經 --34）

爾時。阿難問救脫菩薩言。善男子。云何已盡之命。而可增益。救脫菩薩言。大德。汝豈不聞如來說有九橫死耶。是故勸造續命旛燈。修諸福德。以修福故。盡其壽命。不經苦患。阿難問言。九橫云何。救脫菩薩言。若諸有情。得病雖輕。然無醫藥。及看病者。設復遇醫。授以非藥。實不應死。而便橫死。又信世間邪魔外道。妖孽之師。妄說禍福。便生恐動。心不自正。卜問覓禍。殺種種眾生。解奏神明。呼諸魍魎。請乞福祐。欲冀延年。終不能得。愚癡迷惑。信邪倒見。遂令橫死。入於地獄。無有出期。是名初橫。二者橫被王法之所誅戮。三者畋獵嬉戲。耽淫嗜酒。放逸無度。橫為非人奪其精氣。四者橫為火焚。五者橫為水溺。六者橫為種種惡獸所噉。七者橫墮山崖。八者橫為毒藥厭禱呪咀。起屍鬼等之所中害。九者飢渴所困不得飲食而便橫死。是為如來略說橫死。有此九種。其餘復有無量諸橫。難可具說。
