32.Title of the Treatise..g2.0f

Chinese

世尊说道:“摩诃目犍连之子,守护誓言!”摩诃目犍连之子便回到了原来的地方。不久之后,提婆达多来到了,向世尊顶礼后说道:“世尊您年老体衰,会忘记对四众弟子教导口诀。如果将僧团托付给我,您就能以轻松的心情安乐地生活。”世尊心想现在不是以柔和的方式教导他的时候,于是说道:“我暂时连像贤瓶一样的舍利弗和目犍连之子都不托付,难道会把僧团托付给你这个愚痴如尸体、吃鼻涕的人吗?”提婆达多听后,生起强烈的愤怒,三次摇头,心想:“我要报复!”便离开了。之后,导师对阿难陀说,阿难陀召集僧众后说:“谁赞同错误宣说的法和律,就不要与他们交往。现在我要严厉地训诫你们,用威力压服你们,忍受我的言辞吧!”等等,教导他们不要追随邪道。当时,提婆达多与四位同伙比丘商议说:“如果我们能够分裂僧团,我们今生就能获得圆满,死后也会名声大噪,人们会说:‘他们对神通广大的乔达摩也这样做了!’”其中一些人说:“我们无法分裂僧团。”另一些人说:“这是可以做到的,我们可以给年长的比丘们提供资具,用喧闹的方式来吸引年轻的比丘。”他们就这样做了。世尊从王舍城前往瑞迦耶的地方。国王频婆娑罗用五百辆车装满了稻穗中成熟的稻米,献给世尊。提婆达多看到后,对阿阇世王说:“我也将带领众多眷属游历各地,现在国王如何对待乔达摩,你也应该那样对待我。”阿阇世王也答应了他。如来刚降生于世间时,以及寿命将尽时,还有未开示殊胜双运之时,以及教法中未出现见解和戒律过失之时,以及未作羯磨之时

The Blessed One said, "Son of Maudgalyayana, guard the vows!" And the son of Maudgalyayana went to his former place. Not long after, Devadatta arrived and prostrated to the Blessed One, saying, "Blessed One, you are old and frail, and you will forget to impart the oral instructions to the fourfold assembly. If you entrust the Sangha to me, you will abide in ease, touching happiness with a light heart." Considering that it was not the time to be gentle, the Blessed One said, "I would not entrust the Sangha even to Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, who are like excellent vases. How could I entrust it to you, a fool like a corpse, who eats snot?" Thereupon, Devadatta became fiercely angry and shook his head three times, thinking, "I will retaliate!" and departed. Then the Teacher said to Ananda, and Ananda gathered the monks and said, "Those who approve of the Dharma and Vinaya that have been wrongly preached should not associate with them. Now I will rebuke you severely and subdue you with power. Endure my words!" and so forth, instructing them not to follow the wrong path. At that time, Devadatta consulted with four fellow monks, saying, "If we can divide the Sangha, we will be prosperous in this life, and after death, we will have great fame, and people will say, 'They did the same to Gautama, who is so powerful!'" Some said, "We cannot divide the Sangha." Others said, "It can be done. We can provide the elder monks with necessities, and attract the younger ones with noise." And so they did. The Blessed One went from Rajagriha to the vicinity of Riggaya. King Bimbisara filled about five hundred carts with ripe rice in the husks and offered it to the Blessed One. When Devadatta saw this, he said to Ajatashatru, "I will also travel around with many attendants, and as the king now treats Gautama, you should treat me in the same way." And Ajatashatru agreed. Immediately after the Tathagata appeared in the world, and at the end of his life, and at the time when the supreme union was not shown, and at the time when there were no faults of view and discipline in the doctrine, and at the time when no boundaries were set

在那个时候,僧团不会分裂。那时,法轮已经转动了一段时间,寿命也还没有结束,而且有一对殊胜者。由于戒律和见解上的过失,这是僧团可能发生分裂的时候。因为有四位比丘作为同伴,所以能够制造僧团分裂。提婆达多听到世尊对其他人这样说后,更加努力地想要分裂僧团。在那里,他用财物使五百比丘感到满意,然后与提婆达多一起游历各地。阿阇世王也供养了五百辆装满水果的车和许多财物。当这件事禀告给世尊时,世尊讲述了舍弃良田而供养劣田的往昔故事,并宣说了恶人因利养而堕落的偈颂。在那里,在半路的开阔地方,提婆达多自己坐在行列的中央,与五百比丘一起聚集并进食。之后,导师从舍卫城前往王舍城。由于圣者僧团无法分裂,所以与凡夫中善良者居多的僧团一起前往,并在王舍城安居。那时,负责供养的是圣者罗睺罗。在那段时间里,世尊命令僧团训诫和劝诫提婆达多和跟随他的四位比丘,但他们并没有放弃分裂僧团的努力。在安居期间,发生了饥荒的灾难。获得神通的比丘们像往常一样行事,但世尊打算三个月都处于禅定之中,因此除了托钵乞食和诵戒时,谁也不去他面前。在那里,提婆达多用所有的财物供养了那五百凡夫比丘。三个月过去后,提婆达多带领那五百人走了一小段路,然后这样说道:沙门乔达摩要求他的声闻弟子们住在寂静处,实行托钵,穿粪扫衣,只穿三件法衣,

At that time, the Sangha would not be divided. At that time, the wheel of Dharma had been turned for some time, and the end of life had not yet come, and there was also a pair of supreme ones. Because of faults in discipline and views, this was a time when the Sangha could be divided. Because there were four monks as companions, it was possible to create a division in the Sangha. Having heard the Blessed One say this to others, Devadatta worked even harder to divide the Sangha. There, he satisfied five hundred monks with material possessions, and then traveled with Devadatta. King Ajatasatru also offered five hundred carts full of fruit and many possessions. When this was reported to the Teacher, he told the story of abandoning a good field and offering to a bad field, and also spoke a verse about how evil people are ruined by gain and honor. There, in an open place halfway along the road, Devadatta himself sat in the middle of the row, gathering and eating with five hundred monks. After that, the Teacher went from Shravasti to Rajagriha. Since the noble Sangha could not be divided, he went together with a Sangha mostly composed of virtuous ordinary people, and spent the rainy season in Rajagriha. At that time, the one who was in charge of making offerings was the noble Rahula. During those times, the Teacher ordered the Sangha to admonish and exhort Devadatta and the four monks who followed him, but they did not give up their efforts to divide the Sangha. During that rainy season, there was a famine. The monks who had attained miraculous powers acted as usual, but the Blessed One intended to remain in meditation for three months, so no one went before him except during alms rounds and recitation of precepts. There, Devadatta offered all his possessions to those five hundred ordinary monks. After three months had passed, Devadatta led the five hundred people a short distance and then said this: The Shramana Gautama requires his Shravaka disciples to live in secluded places, practice begging for alms, wear rag robes, and wear only three Dharma robes,

如果说没有隐瞒的那些都能获得解脱,那么,哪些人不想要那五个苦行,那些人就远离了沙门乔达摩。现在做了拿起树枝的事,在那里五百人拿起了树枝。之后提婆达多站起来走了之后,那五百人也跟随着走了。在那里,虽然罗睺罗阻止了,但那些人说:如果发生这样的饥荒,导师住在看不见的地方,我们依靠提婆达多的力量才没有失去生命,否则一个也不会活下来。之后,提婆达多宣扬了他自己编造的五个苦行,五百人也拿起了树枝。五个处所是:放弃牛奶、肉和盐这三样,不穿裁剪缝制的衣服,住在村边。像这样,受持五个苦行,那是僧团十万的数量。之后,提婆达多和他的眷属稍微兴盛起来,在属于王舍城(Rājagṛha)的一个宽阔的活动区域安置下来,自己坐在宝座上,伪装成佛陀。将拘迦梨迦和骞荼达比丘两人伪装成一对殊胜的弟子,安置在左右。那五百比丘围绕着他,像是在宣讲深奥广大的佛法一样行事。当僧团分裂的时候,发生了地震,流星坠落,发出声音。像这样,从僧团分裂到没有和合的这一个晚上,三藏的教法传承、念诵、背诵、受持、思考意义以及产生解脱种子的传承都中断了。以前没有进入决定的人无法进入,没有获得果位的人无法获得,没有断除贪欲的人无法断除,没有漏尽的人无法漏尽。三千世界中,佛法的法轮中断,所有天人的众生都处在不愉快和混乱之中。那时,一对殊胜的弟子在南方山中安居,调查地震的原因,得知是僧团分裂,于是用神通来到导师面前,禀告说:我们是为了和合僧团的目的而来的。世尊回答说:很好!四种补特伽罗是梵天的福德。

If it is said that those without concealment will attain liberation, then those who do not want those five ascetic practices are far from the Shramana Gautama. Now, having done the act of taking up a branch, five hundred people took up branches there. Then, after Devadatta stood up and left, the five hundred also followed. There, although Rahula stopped them, those people said: If such a famine occurs, the teacher resides in an invisible place, we have not lost our lives due to the power of Devadatta, otherwise not even one would survive. Then, Devadatta proclaimed the five ascetic practices that he had fabricated himself, and five hundred people also took up branches. The five places are: abandoning milk, meat, and salt, these three, not wearing cut and sewn clothes, and residing on the outskirts of the village. Thus, holding the five ascetic practices, that is the measure of a hundred thousand Sanghas. Then, Devadatta and his retinue prospered somewhat, and in a wide activity area belonging to Rajagriha, they settled down, and he himself sat on a throne, pretending to be a Buddha. He arranged Kokalika and Khandadeva Bhikshu as a pair of excellent disciples, placing them on the left and right. Those five hundred monks surrounded him, acting as if they were teaching the Dharma that was profound and vast. When the Sangha was divided, there was an earthquake, meteors fell, and sounds were emitted. Thus, from the division of the Sangha until the non-reconciliation of that one night, the lineage of the Tripitaka's teachings, recitation, memorization, upholding, contemplating the meaning, and generating the seeds of liberation were interrupted. Those who had not previously entered certainty could not enter, those who had not attained the fruits could not attain them, those who had not abandoned desire could not abandon it, and those who had not exhausted defilements could not exhaust them. In the three thousand worlds, the wheel of Dharma was interrupted, and all beings of gods and humans dwelt in unhappiness and confusion. At that time, a pair of excellent disciples, dwelling in the southern mountains for the summer retreat, investigated the cause of the earthquake and learned that it was the division of the Sangha, so they came before the Teacher by means of miraculous power, and reported: We have come for the purpose of reconciling the Sangha. The Blessed One replied: Well done! The four types of individuals are the merit of Brahma.

生起,在先前没有的地方建造如来身骨的佛塔,在那里建造寺庙,和合僧众十万,修习四无量。之后,殊胜双尊前往那个方向。靠近时,提婆达多看到他们,心想:现在如果这两个大声闻也归顺我,那我成为一切智者佛陀就毫无疑问了。他心中非常高兴,生起了我慢、骄傲和自大,让俱迦梨迦和骞荼达比雅这两个比丘用船桨驱赶他们,把殊胜双尊一个放在左边,一个放在右边。之后不久,提婆达多模仿世尊,对圣舍利子说:我背有点不舒服,需要治疗一下,你给眷属们说法吧。说完,把袈裟叠成四层,把僧裙塞进当枕头,然后就睡着了。当时,舍利子看到提婆达多睡得很熟,仰面躺着,加持他发出鼾声,然后对眷属们说:看看你们的导师现在的样子吧。当时,目犍连之子升到空中,示现了许多神变,使眷属们生起了信心和渴望。舍利子说法,使眷属们生起了厌离心,对导师生起了信心,并且也宣说了舍弃提婆达多的法,那些比丘们也因为以前依靠食物和财物而舍弃了如来,追随提婆达多的行为感到羞愧和后悔,对佛陀生起了极大的信心。之后,殊胜双尊带领着五百人前来。当时,俱迦梨迦说:提婆达多醒醒啊,眷属被抢走了!虽然想了很多办法,但提婆达多很久都没有醒来,过了很久才醒来。之后,他带着强烈的嗔恨,如法地追赶过来,舍利子在路中间变幻出一个可怕的悬崖,提婆达多无法通过,只好返回,责骂和殴打俱迦梨迦。那五百人舍弃了提婆达多,生起了对导师的渴望之心,这就是和合僧众的程度,也就是十万僧众。

Arising, building stupas of the Tathagata's relics in places where they had not existed before, building temples there, reconciling a hundred thousand sanghas, and meditating on the four immeasurables. Then, the two supreme ones went in that direction. As they approached, Devadatta saw them and thought, "Now, if these two great Shravakas also submit to me, then there is no doubt that I will become the all-knowing Buddha." He was very happy in his heart, and arrogance, pride, and conceit arose. He had Kokalika and Khanda Dhravya, the two monks, drive them away with oars, placing one of the supreme pair on the left and one on the right. Soon after, Devadatta imitated the Blessed One and said to the noble Shariputra, "My back is a little uncomfortable, and it needs to be treated. You teach the Dharma to the retinue." Having said this, he folded his upper robe into four layers, stuffed the monastic skirt in as a pillow, and fell asleep. At that time, Shariputra saw that Devadatta was fast asleep, lying on his back, and blessed him to make snoring sounds. Then he said to the retinue, "Look at the state of your teacher now." Then, Maudgalyayana's son rose into the sky and displayed many miracles, causing the retinue to develop faith and longing. Shariputra taught the Dharma, causing the retinue to develop renunciation, faith in the teacher, and also preached the Dharma of abandoning Devadatta. Those monks, who had previously relied on food and wealth and abandoned the Tathagata to follow Devadatta, felt ashamed and regretful of their actions, and developed great faith in the Buddha. Then, the two supreme ones led the five hundred and came. At that time, Kokalika said, "Devadatta, wake up, the retinue is being robbed!" Although he tried many methods, Devadatta did not wake up for a long time, and only woke up after a long time. Then, with intense anger, he chased after them as he should. Shariputra conjured up a terrifying cliff in the middle of the road, and Devadatta could not pass, so he turned back, scolding and beating Kokalika. Those five hundred abandoned Devadatta and developed a longing for the teacher. This is the extent of reconciling the Sangha, that is, a hundred thousand Sanghas.
