做了各种各样的事情。许多著名的成就者也来了。当时,导师马胜、大学者卢伊巴和成就者查尔巴提巴也来了,他们的历史在其他地方有记载。阿罗汉导师是羯磨旃陀罗国王时期一位严守戒律、持有三藏的僧人。他修成了一个巨大的宝藏瓶。最终,在瓦拉纳西地区的地下出现了一个周长约一由旬的珍宝瓶,可以为成千上万的僧侣提供食物。有一次,他忘记了守护它,那天晚上,夜叉们偷走了它。第二天早上,当他打开它为了供养僧侣时,却发现它是空的。那位拥有巨大神通的咒师僧人召来了梵天等所有伟大的神灵,折磨他们,他们又召来了夜叉,宝藏瓶又满了。作为诸神降临的标志,发生了地震、降下花雨,七天之内,所有人都看到了持续不断的香味。他以这种方式供养了僧侣近四十年。宝藏瓶只对他自己显现,其他人只看到他在挖土。关于圣者无著兄弟的故事:过去,在高塔发展国王时期,有一位持有三藏的僧人,他将圣观世音菩萨视为本尊。有一次,当他与另一位僧人争论、写作和辩论时,由于傲慢的过错,他贬低对方说:“这个女人般的智慧者。”当时,圣观世音菩萨说:“由于你的行为,你将在许多世中转生为女人。然而,在你获得菩提之前,我将是你的善知识。”他在桑吉亚帕国王时代转世,名为婆罗门女帕拉卡萨希拉,意为“完全光明的本性之母”。她能回忆起自己的前世,从小就能看到和听到经藏和论藏,并能自然地理解它们。她经常供养圣观世音菩萨,行持十善。

Various things were done. Many famous accomplished ones also came. At that time, the teacher Horse Victory, the great teacher Luiypa, and the accomplished Tsarpatipa also came, and their histories are recorded elsewhere. The Arhat teacher was a monk who strictly observed the precepts and held the three baskets during the time of King Karma Chandra. He accomplished a great treasure vase. Eventually, a jewel vase with a circumference of about one Yojana appeared underground in the Varanasi area, which could provide food for tens of thousands of monks. Once, he forgot to guard it, and that night, the Yakshas stole it. The next morning, when he opened it to offer to the monks, he found it empty. That monk, a great magician of mantra, summoned all the great gods, including Brahma, and tormented them, and they summoned the Yakshas, and the treasure vase was filled again. As a sign of the arrival of the gods, there was an earthquake, a rain of flowers, and a continuous fragrance was visible to all for seven days. In this way, he offered to the monks for nearly forty years. The treasure vase was visible only to himself, while others only saw him digging the ground. The story of the brothers Asanga: In the past, during the time of King Gauda Development, there was a monk who held the three baskets and regarded the Holy Avalokiteshvara as his personal deity. Once, when he was arguing, writing, and debating with another monk, due to the fault of arrogance, he belittled him, saying, "This woman-like wise one." At that time, the Holy Avalokiteshvara said, "Due to your actions, you will be reborn as a woman in many lifetimes. However, until you attain Bodhi, I will be your virtuous friend." He took birth around the time of King Sangyapha as a Brahmin woman named Prakasha Shila, meaning "Mother of Completely Luminous Nature." She remembered her previous lives and, from a young age, could see and hear the Sutras and Shastras and naturally understand them. She constantly worshiped the Holy Avalokiteshvara and practiced the ten virtues.

之路自然安住,乃是菩提心之力量。此若认作比丘尼则谬矣。长大之后,她与一王族结合,生下一个具相之子,举行了聪慧之仪式。稍大之后,母亲便亲自教导他文字、算术、八种占卜、语法、逻辑、医学、工巧之学等,以及十八明处等,使他精通明晰。当他询问自己的种姓之法时,母亲说:‘孩子,你之出生不是为了从事种姓之事,而是为了弘扬圣法。因此,应当出家,广闻博学,获得三摩地。’如是说后,他便出家,在堪布、阿阇黎和僧众处服役一年。圆满受戒后,五年之内勤奋研读,每年通达百万偈颂之词义。如是,共同之三藏和大部分大乘经部虽易于通达,然思及般若波罗蜜多经之所诠既不重复又不繁杂,实难通达,故决心为此亲见本尊。然未能从上述阿罗汉阿阇黎处获得灌顶,故花朵落于不败尊胜佛(弥勒)处。灌顶之续和坛城虽不明确,然显见为幻化网坛城。上师班智达说:‘此阿阇黎依幻化网续而修持慈氏之故。’此后,前往古尔巴帕尔瓦塔,即圣典中所说的鸠鸠吒钵陀帕尔瓦塔,(梵文,kukkuṭapādaparvata,梵文罗马拟音,kukkuṭapādaparvata,汉语字面意思:鸡足山)之山洞中修持圣者慈氏,三年之中毫无征兆,心灰意冷而出。见岩壁上有鸟巢,早晨飞出去觅食,傍晚返回巢穴时翅膀轻触岩壁,长此以往,岩石都被磨损。见此情景,心想:‘我之精进甚小。’遂返回再次修行三年。如是再次出来时,见水滴

naturally abiding on the path, is the power of bodhicitta. It is a mistake to consider this as a bhikṣuṇī. When he grew up, he united with a royal family, and a son with auspicious signs was born, and a ceremony of intelligence was performed. When he grew up a little, his mother personally taught him letters, arithmetic, the eight kinds of divination, grammar, logic, medicine, the arts, and the eighteen branches of knowledge, etc., so that he became very proficient and clear. When he asked about the dharma of his own lineage, his mother said, 'Son, you were not born to do the work of the lineage, but to promote the holy dharma. Therefore, you should renounce, study extensively, and attain samādhi.' As she said, he renounced and served the khenpo, acharya, and sangha for a year. After being fully ordained, he diligently studied for five years, mastering the meaning of a hundred thousand verses each year. Thus, although the common three pitakas and most of the Mahayana sutras are easy to understand, he thought that the subject matter of the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra is neither repetitive nor complicated, but difficult to understand, so he was determined to see the face of the deity for this purpose. However, he could not obtain the empowerment from the aforementioned Arhat Acharya, so the flower fell on the invincible victorious Buddha (Maitreya). Although the tantra and mandala of the empowerment are not clear, it is evident that it is the mandala of the net of illusion. Lama Paṇḍita said, 'This Acharya practices Maitreya based on the tantra of the net of illusion.' After that, he went to Gurupā Parvata, which is known in the scriptures as Kukkuṭapāda Parvata (藏文, 梵文天城体,kukkuṭapādaparvata,梵文罗马拟音,kukkuṭapādaparvata,汉语字面意思:鸡足山), and practiced the noble Maitreya in a cave there. After three years, there were no signs, and he was discouraged and came out. He saw a bird's nest on the rock face, and in the morning it flew out to find food, and in the evening it returned to the nest, and its wings lightly touched the rock face. Over time, the rock was worn away. Seeing this, he thought, 'My diligence is very small.' So he returned and practiced again for three years. When he came out again, he saw water droplets

看见岩石磨损殆尽。又修行三年出来后,看见一位老人用柔软的棉布擦拭铁块,说:“我用这个做细针。先前也是用棉布擦拭,铁块磨损完了才成了这么一点针。”说着,给他看一个装满针的容器。又修行三年,这样十二年都没有出现征兆,心中沮丧,出来后往前走。在一个城市里,看见一条母狗被虫子叮咬啃噬,生起极大的悲悯之心,心想:“如果不除掉这些虫子,这条狗就会死;如果除掉扔掉,虫子们也会死,不如割下自己身上的肉,把虫子们放在那里。”于是从名叫阿চিন্তা(梵文天城体:अचिन्त्य,梵文罗马拟音:acintya,汉语字面意思:不可思议)的城市里取来剃刀,把钵和锡杖放在一边,用剃刀从自己的大腿上割下肉,闭上眼睛开始抓虫子,结果用手摸到的只是血,什么也没找到,睁开眼睛一看,狗和虫子都不见了,看见的是尊贵的弥勒菩萨,相好庄严,光芒四射。于是说道:“唉呀,唯一的父亲,我的救护者!费尽千辛万苦,也没有结果。为什么像海一样的乌云,被痛苦燃烧却只滴下一点点水?我修行了这么久,您都不显现。”说着流下了眼泪。“即使天王降下雨,坏种子也不会发芽;佛陀虽然降临,没有福分的人也无法享受美好。是被自己的业障遮蔽了,所以才看不见。我一直都在你身边。”“先前念诵咒语的力量,现在因为大悲心割下自己身体的肉的苦行,清净了罪障,所以才能看见我。”说:“现在把我扛在肩上,给城市里的人们看。”展示之后,其他人什么也没看见。一个卖酒的女人看见他扛着一条小狗,后来也变得享用不尽。一个贫穷的靠背柴为生的人,只看见了脚,也获得了三摩地,得到了共同的成就。就在那时,阿阇黎获得了法脉传承的三摩地。问他想要什么,他说:“请让大乘佛法弘扬光大。”菩萨说:“抓住我的衣角。”一抓住,立刻就高兴起来。

He saw the rock worn away. After practicing for another three years, he came out and saw an old man wiping an iron piece with soft cotton, saying, "I am making a fine needle from this. Previously, I wiped it with cotton, and only this much needle was made from the worn-out iron." He then showed a container filled with needles. After practicing for another three years, having no signs for twelve years, he became discouraged and went out. In a city, he saw a female dog being bitten and eaten by worms, and he felt great compassion. He thought, "If I don't remove these worms, this dog will die; if I remove them and throw them away, the worms will die. I should cut off the flesh from my body and put the worms there." So, he took a razor from the city called Acintya (藏文:ཨ་ཙིནྟ་,梵文天城体:अचिन्त्य,梵文罗马拟音:acintya,汉语字面意思:Inconceivable), and placed the alms bowl and staff aside. He cut the flesh from his thigh with the razor and, closing his eyes, began to pick up the worms. But his hand only found blood, and he found nothing. When he opened his eyes, the dog and the worms were gone, and he saw the venerable Maitreya, his body radiant with marks and signs. He said, "Alas, the only father, my protector! Though I have strived through a hundred hardships, there is no result. Why does the cloud like an ocean, burned by suffering, only drip a little water? I have practiced so much, yet you do not show your face." As he shed tears, he said, "Even if the king of gods sends down rain, a bad seed will not sprout; though the Buddhas come, those without merit will not experience goodness. It is because I am obscured by the obscurations of my own karma that I cannot see. I am always near you." "All the power of reciting mantras before, now the hardship of cutting off the flesh of your own body with great compassion has purified your sins and obscurations, so you can see me," he said. "Now, carry me on your shoulder and show me to the people of the city," he said. When he showed it, no one else saw anything. A wine-selling woman saw him carrying a puppy, and later she had inexhaustible wealth. A poor man who lived by carrying firewood saw only the feet and head, but he also attained samadhi and obtained common siddhis. At that very moment, the master attained the samadhi of the Dharma lineage. When asked what he wanted, he requested, "Please let the Great Vehicle flourish." The Bodhisattva said, "Grasp the edge of my robe." As soon as he grasped it, he was immediately delighted.

到达兜率天。关于此,在《事类古注》中说:据说在兜率天住了六个月。也有人说住了十五年等等,说法不一。但汉藏普遍流传的说法是住了五十年。印度人说,那也是把半年算作一年,所以是二十五年。在那里,在兜率天,从弥勒怙主那里听受了所有的大乘佛法,通达了一切经部的意义。听受弥勒五法时,仅仅听受每一法条,就各自获得不同的三摩地之门。再次回到人间利益众生时,获得了无碍的他心通,即使是需要半个月或一个月才能到达的遥远地方,也和眷属一起,用一个时辰或一天就能到达,并且保持着最初见到弥勒时的青春年华。即使九十多岁了,也和以前一样。身上有三十二相,只是不太明显等等,总的来说,显现了获得果位的圣者的功德。特别是,即使在梦中也没有为自己着想的念头,行于无量的三摩地之门。非常温和、调柔、寂静,也能摧毁恶劣的宗派,制裁不良行为等等,特别敏锐。如经所说:听闻不厌足,无染布施法。等等,安住于这些受用,因此有诸多理由可以证得三地。此外,那位论师首先在摩揭陀国的一个名叫贝鲁瓦纳的森林里建造了一座寺庙,住在那里,为八位具有戒律、博学多闻的弟子讲解深奥的大乘佛法。他们全都获得了忍位,并且为了使人们生起信心而显现神通,全都到达了经部大海的彼岸。因此,那个地方被称为法苗寺。在那里,也将弥勒五法记录成文字。还有《阿毗达磨集论》、《大乘集论》、《事类五论》以及《现观庄严论》的释论等。

Arrived in Tushita. Regarding this, the ancient commentary on the Categories states: It is said that he stayed in Tushita for six months. Some say he stayed for fifteen years, and so on, with varying accounts. However, it is widely known in both China and Tibet that he stayed for fifty years. The Indians say that this is because half a year is counted as one year, so it is twenty-five years. There, in Tushita, he listened to all the Mahayana teachings from Lord Maitreya and understood the meaning of all the sutras. When listening to the Five Teachings of Maitreya, he attained a different samadhi gate just by listening to each point. Returning to the human realm to benefit beings, he attained unobstructed telepathy, and even when traveling with his retinue to distant places that would normally take half a month or a month to reach, he could arrive in an hour or a day. He also maintained the youthfulness he had when he first saw Maitreya. Even at over ninety years old, he remained the same as before. He had the thirty-two marks on his body, though they were not very prominent, and in general, he manifested the qualities of a noble being who had attained a bhumi. In particular, even in his dreams, he had no thoughts of self-interest and engaged in limitless samadhi gates. He was extremely gentle, tame, and peaceful, and he could also refute evil doctrines and punish bad behavior, being particularly sharp. As the sutra says: 'Never weary of hearing, giving the Dharma without attachment.' And so on, abiding in these enjoyments, there are many reasons to attain the third bhumi. Furthermore, that teacher first built a monastery in a forest called Beluvana in Magadha, and dwelling there, he explained the profound Mahayana teachings to eight disciples who were disciplined and highly learned. All of them attained forbearance and manifested miracles to inspire faith in people, all reaching the other shore of the ocean of sutras. Therefore, that place became known as the Dharma Sprout Monastery. There, he also wrote down the Five Teachings of Maitreya. Also, the Abhidharma-samuccaya, the Mahayana-samuccaya, the Five Categories, and the commentary on the Abhisamayalankara.
