朵。世尊说道:比起仅仅获得土地,或者仅仅前往天界,或者仅仅获得禅定,不如成为入流果最为殊胜。等等如是说。这些是从天而降的事业,也就是小神变,或者二神变,或者也称为后神变。第八十八,前往善作城:当时,南方善作城有六位有福之人,即:名叫“羊”的施主,即使是空的仓库,只要眼睛一看到,立刻就会充满;他的妻子,如果做一份只够一人食用的食物,就能产生足够百千人食用的食物;他的儿子,如果将一个装有五百个“班那”的空容器系在腰间,就能装满百千个“班那”;他的儿媳,如果调制一份好香,就能增生为百千份;男仆耕耘一“若”,就能耕耘七“若”;女仆从一个装满谷物的容器中取出谷物,就能取出七个装满谷物的容器。当时,世尊知晓调伏善作者的时机已到,于是说道:阿难陀,我将前往善作城,在那里要宣告,前往者应穿戴法衣。如是世尊开示后,与眷属一同次第前往该地。在示现大神变之后,外道们逃往边地居住。善作城的外道们听到佛陀将要到来,变得非常激动,心想:如果他来到这里,我们将会一无所得,必须想个办法。于是他们前往该地的施主等民众处,说道:祝你们获得正法!说“看完了就走”是什么意思呢?(民众)询问原因,他们回答说:我们是看了你们的财富,没看到你们的衰败才要走的。沙门乔达摩会降下刀刃冰雹而来,你们很多人会失去儿子和家庭。那些人说:如果是这样,我们是应该抛弃他呢,还是留下来?外道们说:那么就把附近的所有人都赶到城里,把所有的青草都割掉,把客栈等所有住所都拆毁,把所有的花和果实都砍掉,

Do. The Blessed One said: Rather than merely obtaining lands, or merely going to the heavens, or merely attaining samadhi, the fruit of stream-entry is the most excellent. So forth, it was said. These are the deeds of descending from the heavens, that is, small miracles, or two miracles, or also known as later miracles. Eighty-eighth, going to the City of Good Deeds: At that time, in the southern City of Good Deeds, there were six fortunate people, namely: a householder named "Sheep," even an empty treasury, as soon as one looked at it, it would immediately be filled; his wife, if she prepared food for one person, it would produce enough food for hundreds of thousands of people; his son, if he tied an empty container with five hundred "panas" to his waist, it would be filled with hundreds of thousands of "panas"; his daughter-in-law, if she mixed one good fragrance, it would increase to hundreds of thousands; the male servant plowing one "rol," would plow seven "rols"; the female servant taking grain from one full container of grain, would take out seven full containers of grain. At that time, the Blessed One, knowing that the time to tame the Good Doers had come, said: Ananda, I will go to the City of Good Deeds, and there it should be proclaimed that those who go should wear the Dharma robes. Thus, after the Blessed One spoke, he gradually went to that place with his retinue. After showing great miracles, the heretics fled to the border regions to live. The heretics living in the City of Good Deeds, hearing that the Buddha was coming, became very agitated, thinking: If he comes here, we will gain nothing, we must find a way. So they went to the householders and other people of that place, saying: May you attain the Dharma! When asked what it meant to say "We've seen it and we're leaving," they replied: We are leaving because we have seen your wealth but not your decline. The ascetic Gautama will come raining down hail of knives, and many of you will lose your sons and families. Those people said: If that is so, should we abandon him or stay? The heretics said: Then drive all the people nearby into the city, cut down all the green grass, destroy all the lodgings such as guesthouses, and cut down all the flowers and fruits.

就像他们说“愿所有的水,包括河水等,都染上毒药!”一样,他们也这样做了。然后,当世尊和他的眷属靠近时,风神们吹风,使有毒的水干涸。降雨之神降下雨水,使之充满八功德水。滋养了鲜花和果树。四大天王等神提供了住所和丰富的用具。这些也是帝释天的命令所促成的。然后,善行者们派出了侦察员。他们看到道路的财富非常繁荣,然后返回并告诉善行者们。外道们说:“乔达摩即使没有意识也能这样改变,你们怎么可能不改变呢?现在我们走了。”他们说:“请留下来!那么必须立下誓言,你们谁也不要去乔达摩那里。如果有人去,就处以六十帕纳的罚款,然后留下。”当地人也这样制定了法律。那时,世尊住在善行城南方的某个地方。有一个从迦毗罗卫城嫁到善行城的女孩。一天晚上,她从围墙边望去,看到佛陀住在黑暗中。她心想:“如果这围墙有梯子,我就去供奉灯。”这时,导师以神通在围墙,也就是铁墙外,变出了一架梯子。她走过去,在佛前供奉了灯。听闻佛法后,她证悟了真谛。佛对她说:“你到户主羊那里去,祝他无病。告诉他,‘我为你而来这里,你为什么关着门呢?’如果他说已经制定了法律,你就说,‘你儿子的腰带里能取出无尽的一百帕纳,难道不能拿出六十帕纳来吗?’”女孩听从了,回去后这样说了。户主羊心想:“这一定是遍知者。”于是把六十帕纳放在门边,然后从先前变出的梯子上下来,走到佛前听闻佛法,证悟了真谛。户主羊问道:“善行城的所有人都想听闻这个佛法

Just as they said, "May all the waters, including the river, be poisoned!" they did so. Then, when the Blessed One and his retinue approached, the wind gods blew wind and dried up the poisonous waters. The rain-giving god sent down rain and filled it with water possessing eight qualities. The trees of flowers and fruits were nourished. The Four Great Kings and other gods provided dwellings and abundant utensils. These were also prompted by the command of Indra. Then, the benefactors sent out scouts. They saw that the wealth of the road was very prosperous, and then returned and told the benefactors. The heretics said, "If Gautama can transform even without consciousness, how can you not change? Now we are leaving." They said, "Please stay! Then an oath must be made that none of you will go to Gautama. If anyone goes, they will be fined sixty panas and then stay." The locals also made such a law. At that time, the Blessed One was staying in a place south of the city of Benefaction. There was a girl who had been sent as a bride from Kapilavastu to Benefaction. One night, she looked from the edge of the fence and saw the Buddha staying in the darkness. She thought, "If there were a ladder on this fence, I would go to offer a lamp." Then, the Teacher, by his miraculous power, conjured a ladder outside the fence, that is, the iron wall. She went and offered a lamp before him. By listening to the Dharma, she saw the truth. He said to her, "Go to the householder Sheep and wish him to be free from illness. Tell him, 'Why are you staying with the door closed when I have come here for you?' If he says that a law has been made, say, 'If a hundred thousand panas can come endlessly from your son's waist, can't you give sixty and come?'" The girl obeyed and returned and said so. The householder Sheep thought, "This must be the all-knowing one." So he placed sixty panas at the door and then came down from the previously conjured ladder, went before him, listened to the Dharma, and saw the truth. The householder Sheep asked, "All the people of Benefaction also want to hear this Dharma.

像那样能够获得吗? 赐教说:大多数能够获得。 他心想:那么应当利益城市里所有的民众,心想后在天未亮时返回城市。 第二天天亮时,在十字路口堆积大量的金币,宣告说:谁想见到世尊,我将衡量他所需要的惩罚。 所有民众都说:善哉!善哉!聚集的法律,破坏聚集有什么妨碍呢? 奔跑着前往。 外道们也守护着门,互相推挤无法前进。 持金刚药叉用金刚杵击打铁栅栏,将其击碎。 在那里,所有民众毫无阻碍地前往,世尊的身体周围一由旬的范围内,都遍布着人。 长时间宣说了极其深奥广大的佛法,获得了四果,发起三种菩提心的人不可估量。 并且将所有人都安置在皈依和受持学处上。 第七十九,调伏吉祥隐藏: 再次,世尊住在王舍城(Rajagriha)。 当时,之前名叫火生的那个童子的妹妹的丈夫,名叫吉祥隐藏的屋主,是一位裸体外道的居士。 在那里,火生对吉祥隐藏说:你应该供养僧团,这会成为福德。 吉祥隐藏说:你也应该供养所有的裸体外道,为了不成为善行的障碍。 火生在那里答应了,前往所有的裸体外道处,所有的裸体外道心想:这个人厌恶乔达摩(Gautama),信任我,这样想着就答应了。 第二天,所有的裸体外道带着眷属出发时,吉祥隐藏对所有的裸体外道说:乔达摩(Gautama)前往各家化缘时,当脚踩在门槛上时会微笑,然后一位声闻会询问原因,之后乔达摩(Gautama)也会做授记,用那种方式使居家者信服,你们也应该那样做。 之后,所有的裸体外道到达火生的家,当脚踩在门槛上时大笑起来。 一位裸体外道询问原因,(他说)在无骄河边生长的一棵树上住着一只猴子

Will it be possible to obtain such a thing? He was instructed: It will mostly be possible to obtain. He thought: Then I should benefit all the people in the city, and thinking so, he returned to the city before dawn. The next morning, at dawn, he piled up a large heap of gold coins at the crossroads and proclaimed: Whoever wants to see the Bhagavan, I will measure out whatever punishment he needs. All the people said: Excellent! Excellent! What harm is there in destroying the assembly's laws? They ran and went. The heretics also guarded the gate, and they could not go because they were pushing each other. Vajrapani Yaksha struck the iron fence with a vajra and broke it. There, all the people went without hindrance, and the vicinity of the Bhagavan's body, a yojana in circumference, was filled with people. He taught the profoundly deep and vast Dharma for a long time, and immeasurable numbers attained the four fruits and generated the mind of the three Bodhisattvas. And he established all of them in taking refuge and upholding the precepts. Seventy-ninth, Taming Shri Gupta: Again, the Bhagavan was staying in Rajagriha. At that time, the husband of the sister of the former boy named Fire-born, a householder named Shri Gupta, was a lay follower of the naked ascetics. There, Fire-born said to Shri Gupta: You should offer to the Sangha, it will become merit. Shri Gupta said: You should also offer to all the naked ascetics, so that it does not become an obstacle to virtue. Fire-born agreed to this, and when he went to all the naked ascetics, all the naked ascetics thought: This one despises Gautama, and trusts me, thinking so, they agreed. The next day, when all the naked ascetics set out with their retinue, Shri Gupta said to all the naked ascetics: When Gautama goes to each house for alms, he smiles when he steps on the threshold. Then a Shravaka asks the reason, and then Gautama also makes a prophecy, and in that way he makes the householders believe. You should do the same. Then, all the naked ascetics arrived at Fire-born's house, and when they put their feet on the threshold, they laughed loudly. When one of the naked ascetics asked the reason, (he said) a monkey living on a tree growing on the bank of the Irekavati River

有一次,一只公猴爱上了一只母猴,便追赶她。母猴滑倒掉进水里,公猴也跳进水里淹死了。对此,我想,众生因欲望而痛苦啊。梅生听到后,心想:要捉弄他一下。于是用蔬菜盖住瓦罐,端了上去。又让随从们把盖着蔬菜的瓦罐端上去。到了吃饭的时候,瓦罐却说自己没有蔬菜。这时,一个仆人说:不该看的却看到了,该看的却没看到。看到了傲慢者旁边的猴子,却没看到罐子里的蔬菜。说完之后,供斋结束了,瓦罐说:施主是布施的时候,修行者是吃东西的时候,剩下的东西是给别人的时候,有功德没功德都说不定。像是在称赞,实际上是在谩骂。梅生的门卫听到后,心想:要捉弄他一下。于是把米汤泼在门槛上。之后,瓦罐出来的时候,被米汤滑倒,头撞到门槛上,受伤了。之后,他去了具光那里,说:梅生这样对我。现在我要报仇,毁灭乔达摩和他的随从。具光心想:如果乔达摩真的是一切智者,那么我邀请他,他一定不会接受。如果他接受了,那就说明他不是一切智者,很容易对付。之后,他去导师那里请求。导师明知故允。具光很高兴,回到家后,在门外的院子里挖了一个大坑,坑里装满了卡提塔树的火种,上面用树枝、草和土盖住,使其不被发现。心想:如果不能用火坑杀死他们,就下毒。于是把所有的食物都下了毒。这时,梅生的妹妹问他要做什么。他说:明天要杀掉敌人,就是乔达摩。又问:那么朋友是谁?心想:这会泄露秘密。于是把她关在家里最里面的仓库里,锁上了门。第二天,瓦罐叫来了许多裸形外道,让他们坐在具光房子的顶楼上。

Once, a male monkey fell in love with a female monkey and chased after her. The female monkey slipped and fell into the water, and the male monkey also jumped into the water and drowned. Regarding this, I thought, sentient beings suffer because of desire. When Meisheng heard this, he thought: I'll tease him. So he covered the pot with vegetables and brought it up. He also asked the attendants to bring up the pots covered with vegetables. When it was time to eat, the pot said that he had no vegetables. At this time, a servant said: What should not be seen is seen, but what should be seen is not seen. I saw the monkey next to the arrogant one, but I didn't see the vegetables in the pot. After finishing speaking, the offering feast ended, and the pot said: The benefactor is the time to give, the practitioner is the time to eat, the leftovers are the time to give to others, whether there is merit or not is uncertain. It seemed like praise, but it was actually scolding. When Meisheng's doorman heard this, he thought: I'll tease him. So he poured rice soup on the threshold. Afterwards, when the pot came out, he slipped on the rice soup, hit his head on the threshold, and was injured. Afterwards, he went to Jugang and said: Meisheng treated me like this. Now I want to take revenge and destroy Gautama and his followers. Jugang thought: If Gautama is really omniscient, then if I invite him, he will definitely not accept. If he accepts, it means he is not omniscient and is easy to deal with. Afterwards, he went to the teacher to request. The teacher knowingly agreed. Jugang was very happy, returned home, and dug a large pit in the courtyard outside the door, filled the pit with kindling of the Katita tree, and covered it with branches, grass, and soil to make it invisible. He thought: If I can't kill them with the fire pit, I'll poison them. So he poisoned all the food. At this time, Meisheng's sister asked him what he was going to do. He said: Tomorrow I will kill the enemy, that is Gautama. He also asked: Then who is the friend? He thought: This will leak the secret. So he locked her in the innermost warehouse of the house and locked the door. The next day, the pot called many naked heretics and had them sit on the top floor of Jugang's house.
