' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。’老母答言：‘我身卑贱，犹如粪秽，蒙王暂问喜庆无限，何当堪任为玉女宝？’尔时圣王告须达言：‘卿家老女众相具足，吾今欲以充玉女宝。’长者对曰：‘唯命是从。’老婢闻之喜不自已。王以珠宝令其照面，端正如愿唯增愧幸，即作是念：‘诸沙门辈自云有道，矜驰言论一无效验，圣王出世利物宏广，令我衰容为玉女宝。’五体投地虔伸礼谢。时主藏臣宣王教令，修十善法调伏其心。 “是时尊者乃复本身，老女开悟，见诸大众悲泣而言：‘佛法清净不舍众生，如我弊恶犹尚见度。’悔过自责，忏涤前咎，求受五戒。时彼尊者为说三归及五戒法，老女领解心安泰然，未举头顷证须陀洹果。地神涌出告须达言：‘善哉！长者！裂邪见网，如来出世正为此耳！’ “时罗睺罗，将此老母诣祇陀林。到已见佛，欢喜作礼忏悔发露，愿依佛教而得出家。佛敕往诣憍昙弥所，精进修习未尝懈废，如好白㲲易为染色，应时证得阿罗汉道。” 佛为病比丘灌顶获安缘起第十一 尔时世尊住王舍城竹林精舍。有一比丘身患恶疮，形体周遍脓血交流，众所恶见人不亲近，移置疏弊低小房下。世尊知已即以神力，蔽诸大众令无知者，如来独往病比丘所，善言慰喻须水洗之 现代汉语译本：老妇人回答说：‘我身份卑微，如同粪土，蒙受大王您暂时的垂问，喜悦之情无以言表，怎敢担当玉女的宝座呢？’当时，圣王告诉须达说：‘你家的老妇人相貌端庄，我今天想让她充当玉女的宝座。’长者回答说：‘一切听从您的命令。’老婢听了，高兴得不能自已。国王用珠宝让她照面，容貌端正如同所愿，只是更加感到惭愧和幸运，于是她心想：‘那些沙门自称有道，夸夸其谈，没有一点效验，圣王出世，利益众生，如此宏大，竟然让我这衰老的容颜成为玉女的宝座。’她五体投地，虔诚地行礼感谢。当时，掌管国库的官员宣读国王的命令，让她修习十善法，调伏自己的心。 现代汉语译本：这时，尊者恢复了原来的样子，老妇人开悟了，看到大众悲伤哭泣，她说：‘佛法清净，不舍弃任何众生，像我这样卑劣的人，尚且能被度化。’她悔恨自责，忏悔过去的过错，请求受持五戒。当时，那位尊者为她说了三皈依和五戒的法，老妇人领悟理解，内心安宁泰然，还没抬起头就证得了须陀洹果。地神涌出，告诉须达说：‘太好了！长者！你破除了邪见的罗网，如来出世正是为了这个啊！’ 现代汉语译本：当时，罗睺罗带着这位老妇人前往祇陀林。到了那里，她见到佛陀，欢喜地行礼忏悔，发愿依从佛陀的教诲而出家。佛陀命令她前往憍昙弥那里，精进修习，从不懈怠，就像洁白的细布容易被染色一样，她很快就证得了阿罗汉道。 现代汉语译本：佛陀为生病的比丘灌顶获得安宁的因缘第十一 现代汉语译本：当时，世尊住在王舍城的竹林精舍。有一位比丘身患恶疮，全身脓血流淌，大家都厌恶他，不愿亲近，把他安置在偏僻简陋的小房子里。世尊知道后，就用神力遮蔽了大众，让他们不知道这件事，如来独自前往生病的比丘那里，用善言安慰他，并要水给他洗身子。 English version: The old woman replied, 'My status is humble, like dirt. To be asked by the King, even briefly, fills me with boundless joy. How could I possibly be worthy of being a royal maiden?' At that time, the Holy King said to Sudatta, 'The old woman in your household has a complete and dignified appearance. I wish to make her a royal maiden.' The elder replied, 'As you command.' The old maidservant was overjoyed. The King had her face illuminated with jewels, and her appearance was as desired, only increasing her shame and good fortune. She then thought, 'Those ascetics claim to have the Way, but their boastful words are ineffective. The Holy King has appeared in the world, benefiting all beings so greatly that he has made my aged face worthy of being a royal maiden.' She prostrated herself, expressing her gratitude with reverence. At that time, the minister in charge of the treasury proclaimed the King's decree, instructing her to cultivate the ten virtues and subdue her mind. English version: At that time, the Venerable One resumed his original form, and the old woman became enlightened. Seeing the assembly weeping with sorrow, she said, 'The Buddha's teachings are pure and do not abandon any living being. Even someone as wretched as I can be saved.' She repented and blamed herself, confessing her past faults, and requested to receive the five precepts. At that time, the Venerable One explained the Three Refuges and the five precepts to her. The old woman understood and felt at peace. Before she even raised her head, she attained the fruit of Srotapanna. The earth deity emerged and said to Sudatta, 'Excellent! Elder! You have broken the net of wrong views. The Tathagata's appearance in the world is precisely for this purpose!' English version: At that time, Rahula took the old woman to the Jeta Grove. Upon arriving, she saw the Buddha, joyfully bowed in repentance, and vowed to follow the Buddha's teachings and leave home. The Buddha instructed her to go to Gautami, where she diligently practiced without ever slacking. Like a piece of white cloth that is easily dyed, she quickly attained the path of Arhat. English version: The Eleventh Story of the Buddha Anointing a Sick Monk and Granting Him Peace English version: At that time, the World Honored One was residing in the Bamboo Grove Monastery in Rajagriha. There was a monk who was suffering from terrible sores, his body covered in pus and blood. He was loathed by everyone, and no one would approach him. He was moved to a remote, dilapidated small room. When the World Honored One learned of this, he used his divine power to conceal the matter from the assembly. The Tathagata went alone to the sick monk, comforted him with kind words, and asked for water to wash him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。时帝释天主与诸天子，在善法堂评议政事，佛以威神加被令知，即以无量百千眷属，作天妓乐前后围绕，从空而下来诣佛所，问讯慰劳头面礼足，手持众宝所成澡瓶贮满香水，奉迎世尊伫立一面。 尔时如来即舒百福相庄严臂，于五指端放大光明，远召诸天皆悉云集，及于顶门复放净光照病比丘，蒙光触身所苦即愈，疮溃脓血悉得清净，合掌归命求哀发露，愿佛慈愍灭我重罪。时天帝释以前宝瓶长跪奉献，世尊受已右手注水灌比丘顶，复以左手按摩其身。时病比丘所染沉瘵，随如来手即得平复。得平复已欢喜无量，志心称念：“南无释迦牟尼！南无大慈悲父！南无最胜医王！令我今日身病得瘥。唯愿如来以本愿力哀怜摄受，施与法药袪我心病，所有重障消灭无余。” 尔时佛告彼比丘曰：“我今为报汝昔深恩。”复为开演苦、集、灭、道四圣谛法，示相劝修作证圆满。即时获得阿罗汉道，三明六通具八解脱。时天帝释及诸大众，闻是说已皆堕疑网：“今者如来枉劳神德，洗病比丘疮溃脓血。复言：‘我今为报汝昔深恩。’愿为时会分别解说。” 佛言：“天主！乃往古昔无量世时，有一聚落名曰增广，地唯沃壤民多富乐，其中所止皆上种姓，尊一耆年为断事者 现代汉语译本：当时，帝释天主与众天子在善法堂商议政事，佛陀以威神之力加持，使他们得知此事。于是，帝释天主带领无数眷属，奏响天乐，前后簇拥，从空中降临到佛陀所在之处。他们向佛陀问候致意，顶礼佛足，双手捧着装满香水的宝瓶，恭敬地侍立在一旁。 这时，如来伸出百福庄严的手臂，从五指端放出光明，遥召诸天前来聚集。又从头顶放出净光，照耀患病的比丘。比丘被光照触，身上的痛苦立刻消失，溃烂的疮口和脓血都变得清净。他合掌跪拜，哀求佛陀慈悲，消除他的重罪。这时，帝释天主长跪着献上宝瓶，世尊接过宝瓶，用右手注水灌在比丘的头顶，又用左手抚摸他的身体。患病比丘的沉疴，随着如来的手触，立刻痊愈。痊愈后，他无比欢喜，一心称念：‘南无释迦牟尼！南无大慈悲父！南无最胜医王！使我今日身病痊愈。愿如来以本愿力，慈悲摄受，赐予法药，祛除我的心病，使所有重障都消灭无余。’ 这时，佛陀告诉那位比丘说：‘我今天是为了报答你过去对我的深恩。’又为他开示苦、集、灭、道四圣谛法，指示修行的方法，劝勉他修证圆满。比丘立刻证得阿罗汉道，具足三明六通八解脱。当时，帝释天主和在场的大众，听了佛陀的说法，都陷入疑惑：‘现在如来枉费神力，洗涤患病比丘的疮口脓血，又说：‘我今天是为了报答你过去对我的深恩。’希望佛陀能为我们解释清楚。’ 佛陀说：‘天主！在过去无量世时，有一个村落名叫增广，土地肥沃，人民富足安乐。那里居住的都是高贵的种姓，他们推举一位年长的耆宿来处理事务。’ English version: At that time, Lord Śakra, the king of gods, and the other gods were discussing state affairs in the Hall of Good Dharma. The Buddha, through his divine power, made them aware of the situation. Immediately, Lord Śakra, with countless attendants, playing heavenly music and surrounded by them, descended from the sky to where the Buddha was. They greeted the Buddha, bowed at his feet, and respectfully stood to one side, holding a jeweled vase filled with fragrant water. Then, the Tathagata extended his arm adorned with a hundred blessings, and from the tips of his five fingers, he emitted a great light, summoning all the gods to gather. He also emitted a pure light from the crown of his head, illuminating the sick bhikkhu. Upon being touched by the light, the bhikkhu's suffering immediately ceased, and his festering sores and pus became clean. He joined his palms and begged the Buddha for mercy, asking for the removal of his grave sins. At this moment, Lord Śakra knelt and offered the jeweled vase. The World Honored One accepted it and poured water from the vase onto the bhikkhu's head with his right hand, and then touched his body with his left hand. The chronic illness of the sick bhikkhu was immediately cured by the Tathagata's touch. Upon being healed, he was filled with immeasurable joy and wholeheartedly chanted: 'Namo Śākyamuni! Namo Great Compassionate Father! Namo Supreme King of Physicians! You have healed my illness today. May the Tathagata, through his original vows, compassionately accept me, bestow the medicine of Dharma, remove my mental afflictions, and eliminate all my heavy obstacles.' Then, the Buddha said to the bhikkhu, 'Today, I am repaying the deep kindness you showed me in the past.' He then expounded the Four Noble Truths of suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path to its cessation, showing him the way to practice and attain perfect realization. The bhikkhu immediately attained the state of Arhat, possessing the three insights, six supernatural powers, and eight liberations. At that time, Lord Śakra and the assembly, upon hearing this, were filled with doubt: 'Now, the Tathagata has wasted his divine power, washing the pus and blood from the sick bhikkhu's sores, and then said, 'Today, I am repaying the deep kindness you showed me in the past.' We wish the Buddha would explain this clearly to us.' The Buddha said, 'Lord of Gods! In the immeasurable past, there was a village named Zeng Guang, where the land was fertile and the people were wealthy and happy. The inhabitants were all of noble lineage, and they respected an elder to handle their affairs.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。未久有一老优婆塞，忽为恶人横相谋害，将付囚执众念无辜，诣断事前明察释放，当其危难即得免脱，是故我今作如是说。天帝当知，昔断事者，岂异人乎？病比丘也。彼优婆塞临难获免，今此会中我身是也。是故菩萨经无量世，而于小恩常思大报，乃至成佛未曾废忘。” 时天帝释闻佛说已心大欢喜，诸来大众作天妓乐各还所止，礼佛而退。 称念三宝功德缘起第十二 昔者如来出现于世，乃为父王及诸大众演说观佛三昧法门，如来具足三十二相、八十种好，作黄金色无量光明。是时会中五百释种，观佛身相犹若灰人羸婆罗门，见已号哭自拔头发，举身投地口鼻吐血。如来见之乃安慰曰：“汝勿号哭！吾为汝说。过去有佛名毗婆尸，入涅槃后于像法中，有一长者名曰月德，有五百子聪明多智，世间经籍无不该练，其父长者信奉三宝，常与诸子说佛法义，诸子邪见睹无信心。后时诸子同遇重病，父到子前泣泪合掌语诸子言：‘汝等邪见不信佛法，今为无常利刀割切，汝命须臾凭何依怙？今有如来名毗婆尸，汝可志心称念名号。’诸子闻已即依所教，称南无佛、称法及僧。称已命终，由念佛故即得生于四天王天；天中寿尽，由彼邪见昔因缘故还堕地狱 现代汉语译本：不久，有一位老居士，忽然被恶人横加谋害，被抓捕关押，众人认为他是无辜的，便去请求审判官明察并释放他。当他处于危难之时，立即得以脱险。因此，我现在这样说。天帝应当知道，以前那位审判官，难道是别人吗？就是生病的比丘啊。那位居士在危难时得以幸免，现在这个法会中，我就是他。所以菩萨经历无量世，对于小小的恩惠，也常常想着要给予大的回报，乃至成佛也不会忘记。 当时，天帝释听了佛的说法后，心中非常欢喜，前来参加法会的众人演奏天乐，各自回到自己的住所，向佛礼拜后退下。 称念三宝功德缘起第十二 过去，如来出现在世间，为父王和大众演说观佛三昧法门。如来具足三十二相、八十种好，身放金色无量光明。当时法会中有五百释迦族人，观看佛的身相，却觉得像灰人一样，如同瘦弱的婆罗门，看到后号啕大哭，自己拔头发，全身扑倒在地，口鼻流血。如来看到后就安慰他们说：‘你们不要哭！我为你们说。过去有佛名叫毗婆尸，入涅槃后，在像法时期，有一位长者名叫月德，有五百个儿子，聪明多智，世间的经书没有不精通的。他们的父亲长者信奉三宝，常常给儿子们讲说佛法，但儿子们有邪见，没有信心。后来，儿子们同时得了重病，父亲到儿子们面前，流着眼泪合掌对儿子们说：‘你们因为邪见不信佛法，现在被无常的利刀切割，生命转瞬即逝，依靠什么呢？现在有如来名叫毗婆尸，你们可以一心称念他的名号。’儿子们听了后就按照父亲教的，称念‘南无佛’、‘南无法’和‘南无僧’。称念后就去世了，因为念佛的缘故，就得以生到四天王天；在天上的寿命结束后，因为他们过去邪见的因缘，又堕入了地狱。 English version: Not long after, there was an old lay devotee who was suddenly and unjustly plotted against by evil people. He was arrested and imprisoned, and the people believed he was innocent. They went to the judge to request a fair investigation and his release. When he was in danger, he was immediately freed. Therefore, I say this now. Heavenly Emperor, you should know, was that judge in the past someone different? It was the sick monk. That lay devotee was saved from danger, and in this assembly, I am he. Therefore, Bodhisattvas, through countless lifetimes, always think of repaying even small kindnesses with great rewards, and they never forget this, even after becoming Buddhas. At that time, the Heavenly Emperor Sakra, having heard the Buddha's words, was greatly delighted.
