“If you ask why, it is because formerly when they roamed through cycles of existence, they did not see the Buddha, they did not listen to the Dharma, they did not venerate the Saṅgha; they did not undertake acts of generosity, did not maintain ethical discipline, did not cultivate tolerance, did not undertake perseverance, did not cultivate meditative concentration, and did not cultivate wisdom; and they did not hear of and did not cultivate the perfection of generosity, did not hear of and did not cultivate the perfection of ethical discipline, did not hear of and did not cultivate the perfection of tolerance, did not hear of and did not cultivate the perfection of perseverance, did not hear of and did not cultivate the perfection of meditative concentration, and did not hear of and did not cultivate the perfection of wisdom.
