' 。阿难！乃往过去无量世时，有一国王名曰大车，王有三子：摩诃波罗，摩诃提婆，摩诃萨埵。是时大王纵赏山谷，三子皆从，至大竹林于中憩息。次复前行见有一虎，产生七子已经七日。第一王子作如是言：‘七子围绕无暇寻食，饥渴所逼必啖其子。’第二王子闻是说已：‘哀哉此虎将死不久，我有何能而济彼命？’第三王子作是思念：‘我今此身于百千生虚弃败坏曾无少益，云何今日而不能舍？’ “时诸王子作是议已，徘徊久之俱舍而去。萨埵王子便作是念：‘当使我身成大善业，于生死海作大舟航。若舍此者，则弃无量痈疽恶疾百千怖畏，是身唯有便利不净，筋骨连持，甚可厌患；是故我今应当弃舍，以求无上究竟涅槃，永离忧悲无常苦恼，百福庄严，成一切智，施诸众生无量法乐。’是时王子兴大勇猛，以悲愿力增益其心，虑彼二兄共为留难，请先还宫，我当后至。 “尔时王子摩诃萨埵，遽入竹林，至其虎所，脱去衣服，置竹枝上，于彼虎前，委身而卧；菩萨慈忍，虎无能为。即上高山，投身于地，虎今羸弱，不能食我，即以干竹，刺颈出血。于时大地六种震动，如风激水，涌没不安，日无精明，如罗睺障，天雨众华及妙香末，缤纷乱坠遍满林中，虚空诸天咸共称赞 现代汉语译本：阿难！在过去无量世的时候，有一位国王名叫大车，他有三个儿子：摩诃波罗、摩诃提婆和摩诃萨埵。当时，大王带着他们游赏山谷，三个儿子都跟随在旁，他们来到一片大竹林中休息。之后，他们继续前行，看到一只老虎，刚生下七只小虎，已经七天了。大王子说：‘七只小虎围绕着它，它没有时间去觅食，饥渴所迫，一定会吃掉自己的孩子。’二王子听了这话，说：‘可悲啊，这只老虎将不久于人世，我有什么能力可以救它的命呢？’三王子心想：‘我这个身体在百千世中虚度，败坏无益，今天为什么不能舍弃它呢？’ 当时，王子们商议之后，徘徊了很久，一起离开了。萨埵王子心想：‘我应当让我的身体成就大善业，在生死苦海中成为一艘大船。如果舍弃这个身体，就能摆脱无量的痈疽恶疾和百千恐惧，这个身体只有大小便和污秽，筋骨相连，实在令人厌恶；因此，我今天应当舍弃它，以求无上究竟的涅槃，永远脱离忧愁悲伤和无常的苦恼，以百福庄严，成就一切智慧，给予众生无量的法乐。’当时，王子生起大勇猛心，以悲愿力增强自己的决心，考虑到两个哥哥可能会阻拦他，就请他们先回宫，说自己随后就到。 那时，摩诃萨埵王子立刻进入竹林，来到老虎所在的地方，脱下衣服，放在竹枝上，在老虎面前躺下；菩萨慈悲忍辱，老虎没有办法伤害他。于是，他爬上高山，投身于地，老虎现在虚弱无力，不能吃他，他就用干竹子刺破自己的脖子，让血流出来。当时，大地发生六种震动，像风吹动水面一样，涌动不安，太阳失去了光辉，像被罗睺遮蔽一样，天空降下各种鲜花和美妙的香末，纷纷扬扬地散落在林中，虚空中的诸天都一起称赞。 English version: Ananda! In the immeasurable past, there was a king named Great Chariot, who had three sons: Mahapala, Mahadeva, and Mahasattva. At that time, the king took them to enjoy the valleys, and all three sons followed. They came to a large bamboo forest to rest. Then, they continued forward and saw a tiger that had given birth to seven cubs seven days ago. The eldest prince said, 'Surrounded by seven cubs, it has no time to find food. Driven by hunger and thirst, it will surely eat its own children.' The second prince, upon hearing this, said, 'Alas, this tiger will not live long. What power do I have to save its life?' The third prince thought, 'My body has been wasted and ruined in hundreds of thousands of lives without any benefit. Why can't I give it up today?' After the princes discussed this, they lingered for a long time and then left together. Prince Sattva thought, 'I should make my body achieve great good deeds, becoming a great ship in the sea of birth and death. If I give up this body, I can get rid of countless carbuncles, evil diseases, and hundreds of thousands of fears. This body is only filled with excrement and filth, held together by bones and tendons, truly disgusting. Therefore, I should give it up today to seek the supreme and ultimate Nirvana, forever escaping sorrow, grief, and the suffering of impermanence, adorned with hundreds of blessings, achieving all wisdom, and giving immeasurable Dharma joy to all beings.' At that time, the prince arose with great courage, strengthening his resolve with the power of compassion and vows. Considering that his two elder brothers might hinder him, he asked them to return to the palace first, saying that he would arrive later. At that time, Prince Mahasattva immediately entered the bamboo forest, went to where the tiger was, took off his clothes, placed them on a bamboo branch, and lay down in front of the tiger. The Bodhisattva was compassionate and patient, and the tiger could not harm him. Then, he climbed a high mountain and threw himself to the ground. The tiger was now weak and unable to eat him, so he pierced his own neck with dry bamboo, causing blood to flow. At that time, the earth shook in six ways, like wind stirring water, surging and restless. The sun lost its brightness, as if obscured by Rahu. The sky rained down various flowers and wonderful fragrant powders, scattering all over the forest. The deities in the sky all praised together. 。是时饿虎即舐颈血啖肉皆尽，唯留余骨。 “时二王子生大愁苦，共至虎所不能自持，投身骨上久乃得稣，悲泣懊恼渐舍而去。时王夫人寝高楼上，忽于梦中见不祥事：两乳被割，牙齿堕落，得三鸽鶵，一为鹰夺。夫人遂觉两乳流出。时有侍女闻外人言：‘求觅王子今犹未得。’即入宫中白夫人知。闻已忧恼悲泪盈目，即至王所白言：‘大王！失我最小所爱之子。’王闻是已悲哽而言：‘苦哉！今日失我爱子。’慰喻夫人：‘汝勿忧戚，吾今集诸大臣人民，即共出城分散寻觅。’ “未久之顷，有一大臣，前白王言：‘闻王子在，其最小者，今犹未见。’次第二臣来至王所，懊恼啼泣，即以王子舍身之事具白王知。王及夫人悲不自胜，共至菩萨舍身之地，见其遗骨随处交横，闷绝投地都无所知，以水遍洒而得惺悟。是时夫人头发蓬乱宛转于地，如鱼处陆，若牛失犊，及王二子悲哀号哭，共收菩萨遗身舍利，为作供养置宝塔中。 “阿难当知！此即是彼萨埵舍利 现代汉语译本：当时，饿虎舔舐颈部的血，吃光了所有的肉，只留下残余的骨头。 现代汉语译本：这时，二王子感到极大的悲伤痛苦，一同来到老虎所在的地方，无法控制自己，扑倒在骨头上，过了很久才苏醒过来，悲伤哭泣，懊恼地渐渐离去。当时，王夫人在高楼上睡觉，忽然在梦中见到不祥的事情：两个乳房被割掉，牙齿脱落，得到三只小鸽子，其中一只被鹰夺走。夫人随即感觉两个乳房流出液体。当时，有侍女听到外面的人说：‘寻找王子，至今还没有找到。’就进入宫中告诉夫人。夫人听后忧愁悲伤，泪水盈满眼眶，立即到国王那里禀告说：‘大王！我失去了我最疼爱的小儿子。’国王听后悲伤哽咽地说：‘痛苦啊！今天我失去了我心爱的儿子。’安慰夫人说：‘你不要忧愁悲伤，我现在召集各位大臣和人民，一起出城分散寻找。’ 现代汉语译本：没过多久，有一位大臣，上前禀告国王说：‘听说王子们都在，唯独最小的王子，现在还没有见到。’接着，第二位大臣来到国王那里，懊恼啼哭，就把王子舍身的事情详细地告诉了国王。国王和夫人悲伤得不能自持，一同来到菩萨舍身的地方，看到他的遗骨到处散落，悲痛昏厥倒在地上，什么都不知道了，用水到处洒才苏醒过来。这时，夫人头发蓬乱，在地上翻滚，就像鱼到了陆地，像牛失去了小牛，国王和两个王子悲哀号哭，一起收拾菩萨遗留的舍利，为他供奉，安置在宝塔中。 现代汉语译本：阿难，你应该知道！这就是那位萨埵的舍利。 English version: At that time, the hungry tiger licked the blood from his neck and devoured all the flesh, leaving only the remaining bones. English version: Then, the two princes felt great sorrow and pain. Together, they went to the place where the tiger was, unable to control themselves, they threw themselves onto the bones. After a long time, they regained consciousness, weeping sadly and gradually leaving in distress. At that time, the queen was sleeping in a high tower, and suddenly had an ominous dream: her two breasts were cut off, her teeth fell out, and she obtained three young pigeons, one of which was taken by a hawk. The queen then felt liquid flowing from her breasts. At that time, a maidservant heard people outside saying: ‘We are searching for the prince, but have not found him yet.’ She immediately went into the palace to inform the queen. Upon hearing this, the queen was filled with sorrow and grief, tears welling up in her eyes. She immediately went to the king and reported: ‘Great King! I have lost my youngest and most beloved son.’ The king, upon hearing this, was choked with grief and said: ‘How painful! Today I have lost my beloved son.’ He comforted the queen, saying: ‘Do not be sorrowful, I will now gather all the ministers and people, and we will go out of the city to search separately.’ English version: Not long after, a minister came forward and reported to the king: ‘It is said that the princes are all present, but the youngest prince has not been seen yet.’ Then, a second minister came to the king, weeping in distress, and told the king in detail about the prince's act of sacrificing himself. The king and queen were overwhelmed with grief and went together to the place where the Bodhisattva had sacrificed himself. They saw his remains scattered everywhere, and they fainted and fell to the ground, losing all consciousness. They were revived by being sprinkled with water. At this time, the queen's hair was disheveled, and she rolled on the ground like a fish on land, like a cow that had lost its calf. The king and the two princes wept in sorrow, and together they collected the relics of the Bodhisattva's body, made offerings to him, and placed them in a pagoda. English version: Ananda, you should know! These are the relics of that Satva. 。我于尔时，虽具烦恼、贪、瞋、痴等，能于地狱、饿鬼、傍生恶趣之中，随缘救济令得出离；何况今时烦恼都尽无复余习，号天人师具一切智，而不能为一一众生于险难中代受众苦？” 佛告阿难：“往昔王子摩诃萨埵，岂异人乎？今此会中我身是也；昔国王者，今净饭父王是也；昔后妃者，摩耶夫人是也；昔长子者，弥勒是也；昔次子者，文殊是也；昔彼虎者，今姨母是也；七虎子者，大目乾连、舍利弗、五比丘是也。” 尔时世尊说是往昔因缘之时，无量阿僧祇人天大众，皆悉悲喜，同发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。先所涌出七宝妙塔，佛摄神力忽然不现。 尸毗王救鸽命缘起第二 佛告诸比丘：“我念往昔无量阿僧祇劫，阎浮提中有大国王，名曰尸毗，所都之城号提婆底，地唯沃壤人多丰乐，统领八万四千小国，后妃采女其数二万，太子五百，臣佐一万。王蕴慈行仁恕和平，爱念庶民犹如赤子。是时三十三天帝释天主，五衰相貌虑将退堕。彼有近臣毗首天子，见是事已白天主言：‘何故尊仪忽有愁色？’帝释谓言：‘吾将逝矣，思念世间佛法已灭，诸大菩萨不复出现，我心不知何所归趣？’时毗首天复白天主：‘今阎浮提有尸毗王，志固精进乐求佛道，当往归投必脱是难 我那时虽然有烦恼、贪婪、嗔恨、愚痴等，但能在地狱、饿鬼、畜生等恶道中，随缘救济，使他们脱离苦难；更何况现在我烦恼都已断尽，没有丝毫习气，号称天人师，具有一切智慧，难道不能为每一个众生在危难中代受众苦吗？' 佛告诉阿难：‘过去的王子摩诃萨埵，难道是别人吗？就是现在法会中的我啊；过去的国王，就是现在的净饭父王；过去的王后，就是现在的摩耶夫人；过去的长子，就是现在的弥勒；过去的次子，就是现在的文殊；过去的那只老虎，就是现在的姨母；那七只小老虎，就是现在的大目犍连、舍利弗和五比丘。’ 当时，世尊讲述这段往昔因缘时，无数阿僧祇的人天大众，都感到悲喜交加，一同发起了无上正等正觉之心。先前涌现出来的七宝妙塔，佛收回神力，忽然消失不见。 尸毗王救鸽命的因缘第二 佛告诉众比丘：‘我回忆过去无量阿僧祇劫，在阎浮提有一个大国王，名叫尸毗，他所居住的都城叫做提婆底，那里土地肥沃，人民富足，他统治着八万四千个小国，后妃和宫女有两万，太子有五百，臣子有一万。国王秉持慈悲的德行，仁爱宽恕，爱护百姓如同自己的孩子。当时，三十三天的帝释天主，出现了五种衰败的迹象，担心自己即将堕落。他的近臣毗首天子，看到这种情况后，就对天主说：‘为什么您的仪容忽然有了忧愁的颜色？’帝释说：‘我将要逝去了，想到世间的佛法已经灭亡，各大菩萨不再出现，我心中不知该归向何处？’这时，毗首天子又对天主说：‘现在阎浮提有尸毗王，他意志坚定，精进修行，乐于追求佛道，您应该去投靠他，必定能脱离这个灾难。’ 'At that time, although I possessed afflictions such as greed, anger, and ignorance, I was able to rescue beings from the evil realms of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals, according to their circumstances, enabling them to escape suffering. How much more so now, when my afflictions are completely extinguished, with no remaining traces, and I am known as the Teacher of Gods and Humans, possessing all wisdom, could I not, for each and every being, bear their sufferings in times of danger?' The Buddha told Ananda, 'Was the prince Mahasattva of the past someone different? He is none other than myself in this assembly. The king of the past is now my father, King Suddhodana. The queen of the past is now my mother, Queen Maya. The eldest son of the past is now Maitreya. The second son of the past is now Manjushri. The tiger of the past is now my aunt. The seven tiger cubs are now Mahamogallana, Sariputra, and the five Bhikkhus.' At that time, when the World Honored One was speaking of these past causes and conditions, countless asamkhya of gods and humans were filled with both sorrow and joy, and together they generated the aspiration for Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi. The wondrous seven-jeweled stupa that had previously appeared was suddenly made invisible by the Buddha's withdrawal of his spiritual power. The Second Story of King Shibi Saving the Dove's Life The Buddha told the Bhikkhus, 'I recall in the past, countless asamkhya kalpas ago, in Jambudvipa, there was a great king named Shibi. The city where he resided was called Devavati. The land was fertile, and the people were prosperous. He ruled over 84,000 small kingdoms, had 20,000 consorts and palace women, 500 princes, and 10,000 ministers. The king possessed the virtue of compassion, was benevolent and forgiving, and loved his people as if they were his own children.
