过了三天之后,那两个夜叉点燃了火。阿罗汉(指尼摩祖师)点燃了比那更大的火,向十个方向燃烧。两个夜叉吓得逃跑了,所有方向都燃烧着,找不到逃跑的地方。在那里,他们向穿着鹿皮衣服的人寻求庇护,火就熄灭了。然后,他宣讲佛法,他们变得非常虔诚,被安置于皈依和戒律之中。之后,瘟疫也平息了。婆罗门和成千上万的居士看到了这样的神变。这是国王拉桑时期发生的故事,是第二个故事。国王去世后,他的儿子格西旺继承了王位,这与尼玛衮巴征服克什米尔地区是同一时期。尼玛衮巴以神通前往克什米尔地区,住在龙族居住的湖边。当时,龙王奥度什塔及其眷属非常愤怒,降下猛烈的冰雹,但法衣的边缘都没有动摇。降下各种武器的雨,却变成了鲜花,龙族亲自前来,问道:圣者您想要什么?他说:请赐予土地。问:要多少土地?答:一个跏趺坐所覆盖的土地。答:那就供养了。现在,他以神通用一个跏趺坐覆盖了克什米尔九个地区的土地,龙族说:圣者有多少眷属?答:五百。如果少了一个,就要收回土地。他说:这块土地是导师预言的适合毗钵舍那(观)的地方,哪里有施主,哪里就有乞讨者,所以婆罗门和居士也必须进入。说完,他从乌希尔带着五百眷属的尼玛衮巴,以及从瓦拉纳西带着成千上万对佛法非常虔诚的婆罗门和居士,一起进入了克什米尔。然后,逐渐地,许多人从各个地方前来。在尼玛衮巴居住的时期,有九个大城市,许多山村,一座王宫,十二座寺庙,以及非常多的僧侣,这个地区因此变得繁荣。之后,克什米尔的人们以神通将山搬到纳丹,并以燃烧的火焰降伏了龙族,将法衣阴影下的藏红花供养出来。

After three days, the two Yakshas lit a fire. The Arhat (referring to Nima Gungpa) lit an even greater fire, burning in all ten directions. The two Yakshas were frightened and fled, but all directions were ablaze, and they could not find a place to escape. There, they sought refuge with the one wearing deerskin clothes, and the fire extinguished. Then, he preached the Dharma, and they became very devout, being placed in refuge and precepts. Immediately after, the plague also subsided. Brahmins and hundreds of thousands of householders witnessed such miracles. This is the story that occurred during the time of King Lhaksang, the second story. After that king passed away, his son Geshe Wang ruled the kingdom, which was at the same time that Nyima Gungpa conquered the land of Kashmir. Nyima Gungpa went to the land of Kashmir by means of miraculous power, and stayed by the shore of the lake where the Nagas resided. At that time, the Naga king Audushta and his retinue were very angry, and sent down a fierce rain of hail, but the edge of the Dharma robe did not move. They sent down a rain of various weapons, but they turned into flowers, and the Nagas came in person, asking: "What does the noble one desire?" He said: "Grant me land." They asked: "How much land?" He replied: "The amount covered by one cross-legged posture." They said: "Then we offer it." Now, through miraculous power, he covered the land of nine regions of Kashmir with one cross-legged posture, and the Nagas said: "How many attendants does the noble one have?" He replied: "Five hundred. If even one is missing, the land will be taken back." He said: "This land was prophesied by the Teacher to be a place suitable for Vipassana (insight meditation), and where there is a donor, there is a beggar, so Brahmins and householders must also enter." Having said this, he brought Nyima Gungpa with his five hundred attendants from Ushir, and hundreds of thousands of Brahmins and householders from Varanasi who were very devoted to the Dharma, and together they entered Kashmir. Then, gradually, many people came from various places. During the time that Nyima Gungpa himself resided, there were nine great cities, many mountain villages, one royal palace, twelve monasteries, and a very large Sangha, and the region was adorned. After that, the people of Kashmir miraculously moved the mountain to Nadan, and subdued the Nagas with the miracle of blazing fire, offering the saffron that was covered by the shadow of the Dharma robe.

阿罗汉化现为巨大的法衣,其阴影所及之处,所有人都获得了红花,不久之后又到达了克什米尔(Kashmir),克什米尔的土地被红花的生长地所覆盖,他说道:“这是你们享用增长的特殊之处。”并使所有居住在克什米尔的人都进入了教法,之后便入灭了。据说他在克什米尔地区弘扬佛法约二十年。当尼玛衮巴(Nima Gungpa)前往克什米尔时,圣者夏纳瓦斯(Shanavasa)向居住在六个城市中的四种眷属宣讲佛法。某时,国王格乌桑(Gushuzang)执政二十三年后去世。之后,该国王的侍从和以残羹剩饭为生的两千人左右在夏纳瓦斯处出家,他们与许多其他人一起在寒林尸陀林安居。在解制时,他们观察尸陀林的景象,所有人都获得了不净观的禅定,不久之后,他们成就了所有忆念的殊胜之处,成为了阿罗汉。之后,香料商人斯巴(Sba)的儿子内斯巴(Nye-sba)仅仅通过受近圆戒就见到了真谛。七天后,两位阿罗汉都从两方面解脱。之后,内斯巴被赋予了教法,并在瞻波(Champa)地区入灭。这位夏纳瓦斯前后传授教诲,见证真理者约有十万人,成为阿罗汉者也有十万人。其中,克什米尔人认为尼玛衮巴也必须被算入教法传承之中,因为当尼玛衮巴在中部地区弘扬佛法十五年时,圣者夏纳瓦斯只有少数弟子。有人说,从尼玛衮巴前往克什米尔开始,夏纳瓦斯才开始弘扬佛法,因此教法传承是第八位。另一些人则说,尼玛衮巴被预言将前往克什米尔调伏,这是阿难陀的嘱托,而阿难陀所托付的教法只有夏纳瓦斯一人,因此传承只有七位,藏人也遵循这种说法。这是发生在国王格乌桑时期的故事,第三个故事。然后,内斯巴渡过恒河后

The Arhat transformed into a great Dharma robe, and all the people who were touched by its shadow obtained saffron. Soon after, they arrived in Kashmir, and the land of Kashmir was covered with saffron growing places. He said, "This is the special feature of the increase in your enjoyment." And he placed all those who lived in Kashmir in the Dharma, and then passed away. It is said that he taught the Dharma in the land of Kashmir for about twenty years. When Nyima Gungpa went to Kashmir, the noble Shanavasa taught the Dharma to the four types of retinues residing in six cities. At one time, King Gushuzang extended his reign for twenty-three years and passed away. After that, about two thousand of the king's attendants and those who lived on leftovers were ordained by Shanavasa. Together with many others, they spent the summer in the Cool Grove Cemetery. During the disengagement, they observed the lineage of the cemetery, and all of them obtained the Samadhi of the Unpleasant. Before long, they accomplished all the special features of mindfulness and became Arhats. Then, Nye-sba, the son of the spice merchant Sba, saw the truth as soon as he received the Upasampada ordination. After seven days, both Arhats were completely liberated from both aspects. Then, Nye-sba was entrusted with the Dharma and passed away in the Champa region. This Shanavasa taught the instructions earlier and later, and about one hundred thousand people saw the truth. There were also about one hundred thousand Arhats. Among them, the Kashmiris believe that Nyima Gungpa must also be counted in the lineage of the Dharma, because when Nyima Gungpa propagated the Dharma in the central region for fifteen years, the noble Shanavasa had only a few disciples. Some say that Shanavasa began to propagate the Dharma after Nyima Gungpa went to Kashmir, so the lineage of the Dharma is the eighth. Others say that Nyima Gungpa was prophesied to go to Kashmir to subdue, and this was the entrustment of Ananda, and the Dharma entrusted by Ananda was only Shanavasa, so the lineage is only seven, and the Tibetans also follow this statement. This is the story that happened during the time of King Gushuzang, the third story. Then, Nye-sba crossed the Ganges and

向北方行进后,在一个名为“身胜”的地方,那是位于底惹呼底(Tirahuti)西边的一个地方。一位名叫瓦苏萨拉(Vasu Sara)的施主建造了一座寺庙,那里有供养四方僧众的场所,尊者便在那里居住,并安居过夏。在那里传授教诲,仅仅三个月的时间,就有一千人证得了阿罗汉果位。之后,前往山王犍陀罗(Gandhara),通过宣讲佛法,也使无数众生趋向真理。然后,又前往靠近中部地区西北方的城市“被摧毁者”(Bcom Brlag)。当他到达“被摧毁者”的城门旁,在许多人聚集的地方,有两个负责分配食物的巨人工人,名叫那吒(Na Ta)和巴吒(Bhatta),他们正在交谈。他们赞扬圣者近护(Nye Sbas),并说:“在名为‘头’(Shir,即头的意思)的山上,当圣者身穿袈裟的时候,如果我们两人能在自己建造的寺庙里,让圣者近护居住,那该有多好啊!”当时,近护从远处看见他们,心想:“哎呀!从远处走来一位调伏诸根、威严庄重的人,这一定是圣者近护。”他们互相商议后,稍微前去迎接,顶礼后问道:“您是圣者近护吗?”尊者回答说:“世间是这样称呼我的。”于是,他们献上了位于头山的名为“舞者勇士”的寺庙,并用一切资具来供养。在那里宣讲佛法,许多出家众和在家众都见到了真谛。之后,在另一个时期,当尊者正在为聚集的成千上万的人们说法时,恶魔波旬降下了稻米的雨。当时,许多人进城去了,剩下的人则继续听法。第二天,又降下了衣服的雨,因此又有许多人进城去了。同样地,第三天降下了白银的雨,第四天降下了黄金的雨,第五天降下了七宝的雨,因此听法的僧众变得非常稀少。第六天,恶魔波旬自己化身为天界的舞者,他的儿子、妻子和女儿也变成了天界的歌舞形象,三十六位男女舞者在城里

Having gone to the north, in a place called Lus Phak, which is a place to the west of Tirahuti, a householder named Vasu Sara built a monastery where there was an offering to the Sangha in all four directions, and the尊者 resided there and spent the summer retreat. By teaching the precepts there, a thousand people attained Arhatship within those three months. Then, having gone to the king of mountains, Gandhara, by teaching the Dharma, he also established countless beings in the truth. Then, again, when he went to the city of Bcom Brlag, near the northwest border of the central region, at the gate of Bcom Brlag, where many people were gathered, two giant workers who were doing the work of rationing food, named Nata and Bhatta, were talking. They were praising the noble Nye Sbas, and said, "When the noble one with the garment of Shana is on the mountain called Shir, which means 'head,' how wonderful it would be if we two could have the noble Nye Sbas reside in the monastery that we built ourselves!" At that time, Nye Sbas saw them from afar and thought, "Oh my! From afar comes one who has subdued his senses and is dignified and majestic, this must be the noble Nye Sbas." After discussing this with each other, they went a little way to greet him, prostrated, and asked, "Are you the noble Nye Sbas?" The尊者 replied, "That is what I am known as in the world." Then, they offered the monastery called "Dancer Hero" which is on the mountain of the head, and they filled it with all necessities. By teaching the Dharma there, many ordained and lay people saw the truth. Then, at another time, when the尊者 was teaching the Dharma to hundreds of thousands of people who had gathered, the evil demon rained down rice in the city. At that time, many people went into the city, and the rest listened to the Dharma. On the second day, he rained down clothes, so again many people went into the city. Similarly, on the third day, he rained down silver, on the fourth day, he rained down gold, and on the fifth day, he rained down the seven precious jewels, so the assembly listening to the Dharma became very small. On the sixth day, the evil demon himself transformed into the attire of a celestial dancer. His sons, wife, and daughters also transformed into the forms of celestial song and dance, and thirty-six male and female dancers in the city

于是,以舞蹈的布置和各种幻术的表演,以及美妙的歌乐之声,转变了一切众生的心意,没有一个听法的。那时,圣者近护也来到城里,说:“哎嘛,各位勇士,你们的舞蹈很好,我也要给你们戴花环。”于是,给每个人头上和颈上都系上一个花环。随即,圣者的神变使所有罪恶之徒及其眷属都身体衰老丑陋,衣服破烂。头上系着腐烂的尸体,颈上挂着一条狗的尸体,散发着恶臭,飘向四面八方。仅仅看到就想呕吐。在那里,所有没有脱离贪欲的众生,都因厌恶、恐惧和恶心而捂住鼻子,背过身去。这时,近护也说:“罪人,你们为何侵犯我的眷属?”他们说:“圣者,请宽恕,把我们从束缚中解脱出来!”(近护)说:“如果不侵犯我的眷属,就那样做。”(他们)说:“即使我的身体毁灭,也不会侵犯。”随即,魔的身体恢复原状。他说:“我在菩提树下对乔达摩(梵文天城体:गौतम,梵文罗马拟音:Gautama,汉语字面意思:乔达摩)百般挑衅,但他安住在慈爱的禅定中。乔达摩的声闻弟子们,是能压制邪恶的。我稍微玩耍了一下,圣者就把我束缚了。”然后,近护也对那个罪恶的魔宣说了佛法,说:“我见到了导师的法身,却没有见到色身。罪人,你既然见到了,就示现一下身相吧!”当他幻化成导师的形象时,圣者近护生起了极大的信心,汗毛竖立,泪流满面,合掌置于头顶,向佛顶礼。罪恶的魔无法忍受,昏厥倒地。在那里,魔也消失不见了。这件事使所有的人都心生厌离,更加生起了信心。从天降下果实雨开始,由往昔善根所驱动的从四面八方聚集而来的人们,都住了六天。

Then, with the arrangement of dances and various magical performances, and with the beautiful sounds of songs and music, the minds of all beings were transformed, and there was not a single person listening to the Dharma. At that time, the noble Nyebe also came to the city and said, "Hey, brave men, your dance is good, I will also put garlands on you." So, he tied a flower garland on each of their heads and necks. Immediately, by the noble one's miraculous power, all the sinful ones and their retinues became old and ugly, with tattered clothes. On their heads were tied rotting corpses, and on their necks were hung the carcasses of dogs, emitting a foul odor that rose in all directions. Just seeing them made one want to vomit. There, all the beings who had not detached from desire covered their noses and turned away in disgust, fear, and nausea. At that time, Nyebe also said, "Sinners, why do you harm my retinue?" They said, "Noble one, please forgive us and release us from this bondage!" He said, "If you do not harm my retinue, I will do so." They said, "Even if my body is destroyed, I will not harm them." Immediately, the demon's body returned to its original state. He said, "I have repeatedly provoked Gautama (藏文:གཽ་ཏ་མ་,梵文天城体:गौतम,梵文罗马拟音:Gautama,汉语字面意思:乔达摩) at the Bodhi tree, but he abides in the samadhi of loving-kindness. The Shravakas of Gautama are those who can suppress evil. I was just playing a little, and the noble one bound me." Then, Nyebe also spoke Dharma to that sinful demon, saying, "I have seen the Dharmakaya of the Teacher, but I have not seen the Rupakaya. Since you have seen it, sinner, show me what the form of the body is like!" When he manifested the form of the Teacher, the noble Nyebe generated great faith, his hair stood on end, and tears flowed. He placed his palms together on his head and prostrated to the Buddha. The sinful demon could not bear it and fainted and fell to the ground. There, the demon also disappeared. This event caused all the people to become disillusioned and generate even more faith. From the rain of fruit falling from the sky, the people who had gathered from the four directions, driven by the roots of past virtues, all stayed for six days.
