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

Chinese

我前来供养。听闻佛法便能见到真谛。那些时候,世尊每次都前往王舍城,虽有未生怨(阿阇世王)及其部属,对导师及其眷属不能造成丝毫损害,但常有恶犬吠叫等无礼之举。然因对王舍城众多有情有利益,故暂时停留于此。第八十二,调伏耆婆童子令安住于真谛:往昔,耆婆童子曾两次受到瓶沙王(梵文:Bimbisāra)的灌顶,此时又受到阿阇世王一次灌顶,总共三次被封为医王。因此生起傲慢,心想:世尊虽是通达一切的法王,但在医术方面,我也能与如来平起平坐。因此他未能证悟真谛。之后,世尊知晓调伏他的时机已到,便说道:耆婆,你是否见过雪山药王和香醉山?答:未曾见过,请让我去看看。耆婆童子抓住导师的法衣一角,导师瞬间便到达那些山中。在那里,他看见各种药物如灯般闪耀。世尊说道:耆婆,去取药吧!由于害怕非人的伤害,世尊嘱咐金刚手药叉守护耆婆,免受伤害。他取了各种药物,心想:我曾以为自己无所不知,但现在却看到了许多前所未见、不认识的药物。之后,他带着那些药物来到导师面前。导师询问后,他详细地汇报了自己所知的。对于其他不认识的药物,导师一一说明:这叫什么名字,对什么疾病有疗效等等。他的傲慢之心顿消,说道:如来是具足四支的无上医王!他特意如此赞叹,导师也为他开示佛法,使耆婆童子获得了入流果。之后,他们再次回到王舍城。

I came to offer. By listening to the Dharma, one sees the truth. At those times, the Blessed One went to the city of Rajagriha each time, although Ajatashatru and his retinue could not cause the slightest harm to the Teacher and his entourage, there were always rude acts such as fierce dogs barking. However, because it was beneficial to many sentient beings in Rajagriha, he stayed there for a while. Eighty-second, taming Jivaka Kumara to abide in the truth: In the past, Jivaka Kumara had been consecrated twice by King Bimbisara, and at this time he was consecrated once by Ajatashatru, a total of three times he was crowned as the king of medicine. Therefore, arrogance arose, thinking: Although the Blessed One is the Dharma King who knows everything, in the field of medicine, I am also equal to the Tathagata. Therefore, he did not realize the truth. Afterwards, the Blessed One knew that the time to tame him had come, and said: Jivaka, have you seen the Snow Mountain Medicine King and the Fragrant Intoxication Mountain? He replied: I have not seen them, please let me go and see them. Jivaka Kumara grabbed the corner of the Teacher's Dharma robe, and the Teacher instantly arrived at those mountains. There, he saw various medicines shining like lamps. The Blessed One said: Jivaka, go and take the medicine! Fearing the harm of non-humans, the Blessed One instructed Vajrapani Yaksha to protect Jivaka from harm. He took various medicines, thinking: I used to think I knew everything, but now I see many medicines that I have never seen or known before. Afterwards, he brought those medicines to the Teacher. After the Teacher asked, he reported in detail what he knew. For other medicines that he did not know, the Teacher explained one by one: This is called what name, what disease is effective, and so on. His arrogant heart disappeared, and he said: The Tathagata is the supreme king of medicine with four limbs! He specifically praised him in this way, and the Teacher also taught him the Dharma, so that Jivaka Kumara obtained the fruit of entering the stream. Afterwards, they returned to Rajagriha again.

土地湿润,雪山之境极其凉爽,药香扑鼻,如来因此受寒病侵扰。名医耆婆献上三十二瓣乌 উৎপল(藏文,梵文天城体,utpala,汉语:乌 উৎপল)的香熏沐浴,并用蔗糖和诃子的汁液逐渐缓解病情。期间,王舍城暂时没有重要的化度对象,降伏阿阇世王的机缘尚未成熟,世尊认为舍弃是调伏的手段。于是,世尊在众多眷属的簇拥下,从王舍城出发,逐渐游历至舍卫城,驻锡于祇陀林给孤独园。第三十三,调伏四大天王:此后,世尊有一次住在邬昙婆罗树林中,白天前往名为缓流池塘的岸边安住。当时,导师生起利益世间之念,四大天王之首毗沙门天得知后,派遣五位药叉在缓流池塘边为导师铺设座位。同时,该地住着一位名叫迦那之子的仙人,毗沙门天委派他守护,以防邪魔侵扰。迦那之子依命而行,问道:“你们为何设座?”答曰:“为世尊而设。”又问:“你为何在此?”答曰:“仙人,我在此守护你。”又问:“有何必要?”答曰:“因将有众多邪魔聚集。”又问:“那么乔达摩由谁守护?”答曰:“无需他人守护,他自己便能守护他人。”之后,导师率领僧众来到此处,在已设好的座位上安坐。四大天王及其眷属从四方前来,用如意宝珠盛满钵器,献给世尊,然后各自在一方就座。其中,持国天和增长天属于中部地区的种姓,而广目天和多闻天属于边地种姓,考虑到他们觉醒的因缘各不相同,世尊便用各自的语言为他们说法。四大天王因此证悟真谛,此外,还成熟解脱了无数非人众生。之后,导师心想:现在是涅槃的时候了。

The land was moist, and the snowy mountain realm was extremely cool, with the fragrance of medicine wafting through the air. Thus, the Thus-Gone One was afflicted by a cold disease. The physician Jivaka offered fragrant bathing medicine made of thirty-two utpala flowers, and gradually alleviated the illness with sugarcane and haritaki juice. During that time, there were no important beings to be tamed in Rajagriha, and the time to subdue Ajatashatru had not yet arrived. The Blessed One considered that abandonment was a means of taming. Thus, the Blessed One, surrounded by many attendants, departed from Rajagriha and gradually traveled to Shravasti, residing in Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park. Thirty-third, Subduing the Four Great Kings: Then, on one occasion, the Blessed One resided in the Udumbara forest, and during the day went to the shore of a pond called Slow Stream to dwell. At that time, the Teacher arose with the thought of benefiting the world, and the Great King Vaishravana, knowing this, sent five yakshas to set up a seat for the Teacher on the shore of the Slow Stream. At the same time, a sage named Kana's son lived in that place, and Vaishravana appointed him to protect against the harm of demons. Kana's son did as he was told and asked, "For whom is the seat prepared?" They replied, "For the Blessed One." He asked, "Why are you staying here?" They replied, "Sage, we are here to protect you." He asked, "What is the reason for that?" They replied, "Because many demons will gather." He asked, "Then who will protect Gautama?" They replied, "He does not need to be protected by others, for he himself will protect others." Then the Teacher, together with the Sangha, came there and sat on the prepared seat. The Four Great Kings and their retinues came from the four directions, filled bowls with wish-fulfilling jewels, offered them to the Blessed One, and then sat down in their respective directions. Among them, Dhritarashtra and Virudhaka belonged to the central region's lineage, while Virupaksha and Vaishravana belonged to the border region's lineage. Considering that their awakening conditions were different, the Teacher taught them the Dharma in their respective languages. The Four Great Kings thus realized the truth, and in addition, countless non-human beings were matured and liberated. Then the Teacher thought, "Now is the time for nirvana."

靠近一些啊!如果将教法仅仅托付给天神,会有放逸的过失;如果仅仅托付给凡人,会有寿命短促的过失,因此不会长久住世,考虑到应该两者兼顾。想到我涅槃后,教法由你们守护,这样下达命令后,他们四个也欢喜地答应了。持国天王从东方,增长天王从南方,广目天王从西方,多闻天王之子从北方守护。之后,将所有教法的事务都托付给了圣者大迦叶,也告诫阿难说,你要努力做教法的事情。像这样,仙人迦那之子见到并听到后,非常信服,听闻佛法,他也获得了不来果。之后,迦那之子为了明天供养世尊及其眷属,晚上做了准备。他的姐妹的儿子,名叫仙人山岩的,正好来到这里,问道:你们是在邀请朋友们做客吗?回答说:不是的,是迎请佛陀和僧众。在那里,仅仅听到佛陀这个声音,就毛骨悚然,问道:佛陀和僧众是怎样的呢?他也详细地说了。之后,导师和僧众来到那里,山岩和他的五百眷属非常信服,出家并受了具足戒。迦那之子见到后,问道:你出家了吗?回答说:出家了。在那里,迦那之子也化缘完毕后,将剩余的所有财物全部施舍,和他的五百眷属一起出家并受了具足戒。导师自己和那一千个从仙人中出家的人一起,答应在名叫极善河流的岸边安居。在那里,五百比丘托付给了具寿大迦比那,二百五十个托付给了目犍连之子,二百五十个托付给了舍利子。他们传授教诲后,迦比那的那些人获得了阿罗汉果,目犍连之子的那些人获得了不来果,舍利子的那些人获得了入流果。

Come closer! If the teachings are entrusted only to the gods, there will be the fault of negligence; if entrusted only to humans, there will be the fault of short life, therefore they will not remain for long, considering that both should be taken care of. Thinking that after my Nirvana, the teachings will be protected by you, after giving this command, the four of them also gladly agreed. Dhritarashtra protects from the east. Virudhaka protects from the south. Virupaksha protects from the west. The son of Vaishravana protects from the north. Then, all the affairs of the teachings were entrusted to the great venerable Kashyapa, and Ananda was also instructed, saying, 'You must strive to do the work of the teachings.' In this way, the son of the sage Kena saw and heard this, and with great faith, listened to the Dharma, and he also attained the fruit of non-return. Then, the son of Kena, in order to offer alms to the Blessed One and his retinue tomorrow, made preparations in the evening. His sister's son, named the sage Mountain Rock, happened to come there and asked, 'Are you inviting friends as guests?' He replied, 'No, we are inviting the Buddha and the Sangha.' There, just hearing the sound of 'Buddha' made his hair stand on end, and he asked, 'What are the Buddha and the Sangha like?' He explained in detail. Then, when the Teacher and the Sangha arrived there, Mountain Rock and his five hundred followers were very devoted, and they went forth and were fully ordained. The son of Kena saw this and asked, 'Have you gone forth?' He replied, 'I have gone forth.' There, after the son of Kena had finished collecting alms, he gave away all the remaining possessions, and together with his five hundred followers, he went forth and was fully ordained. The Teacher himself, together with those one thousand who had gone forth from among the sages, agreed to spend the summer retreat on the banks of the river called 'Very Good Flow'. There, five hundred monks were entrusted to the venerable Maha-Kapina, two hundred and fifty were entrusted to the son of Maudgalyayana, and two hundred and fifty were entrusted to Shariputra. After they taught the instructions, those of Kapina attained Arhatship, those of the son of Maudgalyayana attained non-return, and those of Shariputra attained stream-entry.

也获得了。(这是)由于根器利钝的差别。根器迟钝的那些人,由舍利子守护而获得预流果。像迦毗那那样的人,如果由其他人守护,连一点温暖都无法获得,如是说。第八十四,调伏指鬘者:又,在舍卫城,有一个名叫“不畏人”的婆罗门之子,长得非常高大,力大无比,能够战胜成千上万的人。他跳起来可以抓住在空中飞翔的鸟,而且跑起来像骏马一样快。当时,有一个婆罗门教师,带着五百名学生。他教授吠陀和各种学问,学生们很快就精通了。后来,婆罗门教师带着他的随从,在一个施主家住了三个月,由“不畏人”负责看家。在那里,教师的妻子想引诱那个孩子,但他很有理智和羞耻心,害怕罪恶,所以没有答应。那个女人怀恨在心,在婆罗门教师回来之前,她躺在网状的床上,穿着破烂的衣服,身上弄出伤痕。婆罗门回来问她,她就谎称是“不畏人”做的。婆罗门心想:“这个人是大臣的儿子,非常强大,不能直接和他对抗,只能想个让他自己死去的办法。”于是,婆罗门假装对“不畏人”很好,过了一段时间,对他说:“我有一个秘密的法,以前没有告诉过别人,现在告诉你。你需要在七天之内杀掉一千个人,砍下他们的头,然后取下每个人的一个手指,做成念珠,戴在身上,这样就能亲眼见到梵天神,死后立即变成梵天神。”“不畏人”知道这是不对的,一开始拒绝了一两次。但那个老师羞辱他说:“你是不相信我吗?”然后把一把用疯狂咒语加持过的剑插在地上。“不畏人”非常生气,拿起剑冲到门外,杀死了遇到的九个人,然后又杀了九百九十九个人,并取下了他们的手指。

He also attained it. This was due to the difference in the sharpness and dullness of the faculties. Those with dull faculties, if protected by Shariputra, would attain the stream-entry fruit. But if someone like Kapina were protected by someone else, they would not even gain a little warmth, it is said. Eighty-fourth, Taming Angulimala: Again, in Shravasti, there was a Brahmin boy named 'Fearless One,' who was very tall and strong, capable of defeating thousands of people. He could jump up and catch birds flying in the sky, and he was as fast as a fine horse. There was a Brahmin teacher with five hundred students. He taught the Vedas and various sciences, and the students quickly became proficient. Then, the Brahmin teacher, with his entourage, stayed at the house of a patron for three months, and the 'Fearless One' was left to take care of the house. There, the teacher's wife tried to seduce the boy, but he was mindful and ashamed, and feared sin, so he did not comply. The woman held a grudge and, before the Brahmin teacher returned, she lay on a net-like bed, wearing tattered clothes, and making wounds on her body. When the Brahmin returned and asked her, she falsely claimed that the 'Fearless One' had done this. The Brahmin thought, 'This person is the son of a great minister and is very powerful, so I cannot directly oppose him. I must find a way for him to die on his own.' So, the Brahmin pretended to be very kind to the 'Fearless One' and, after some time, said to him, 'I have a secret teaching that I have never revealed to anyone before, but now I will tell you. You need to kill a thousand people in seven days, cut off their heads, and then take one finger from each person, make a rosary, and wear it on your body. Then you will see the Brahma god directly, and immediately after death, you will become a Brahma god.' The 'Fearless One,' knowing that this was wrong, initially refused once or twice. But the teacher shamed him, saying, 'Do you not believe me?' Then he stuck a sword, blessed with a maddening mantra, into the ground. The 'Fearless One' became very angry, grabbed the sword, ran outside the door, and killed nine people he encountered, and then killed nine hundred and ninety-nine people, and took their fingers.
