,常常感到害怕;王子感到羞愧,心中不安,就到树林中想要自尽。帝释遥远地知道这件事,就来到他身边,用好话安慰他,赐给他一颗宝珠,秘密地让他把宝珠放在头顶上,就可以得到像我一样美好的容貌。’ The Buddha said, 'Great King! Think carefully and listen attentively! In the immeasurable past, there was a king in this Jambudvipa named Shejuli. He had long been on the throne but had no heir. He was deeply worried about this and performed many good deeds, praying to fulfill this wish. At that time, the Lord Indra transformed into a physician and came before the king, asking about his concerns. The king told him the matter in detail. The physician said, ‘I will go to the snowy mountains to collect miraculous medicine for the queen. After she takes it, she will have a child.’ The king said, ‘Very well.’ Later, the physician returned to the palace with the medicine and prepared it with milk for the queen to take. Upon seeing it, the queen refused to take it because of the smell and also because she did not believe in it. The transformed physician then left. The other concubines competed to divide and drink the medicine. Soon after taking it, they all felt pregnant. At this time, the king regretted and was distressed. He searched everywhere for the previous medicine, only finding a little residue. He prepared it with milk and took it, and he also had a child. The other consorts all gave birth to children at full term, each one with a beautiful and dignified appearance. The king was very happy. Finally, the queen gave birth to a son, whose face was extremely ugly and whose shape was like a tree stump. The king and queen were displeased upon seeing him, and therefore named him Prince Stump. As he grew older, his martial arts became unmatched in the world. ‘At that time, neighboring countries invaded the borders, so the prince was sent to attack them and drive them back. The king loved him even more and sought a suitable match for him. In a distant country, there was a king named Lisebaco, who had a daughter with a beautiful and dignified appearance. He sent an envoy to propose marriage, and it was agreed. Upon hearing this, six countries were filled with admiration and competed to propose marriage, even sending troops to attack each other. That king then said, ‘If I agree to one, the others will resent me. Whoever can repel the other countries’ armies, I will give my daughter to him.’ At that time, Prince Stump heard this and knew it was true. He sharpened his weapons, and being in his prime, he fought and won. He then took the heads of six enemies and presented them to King Baco. King Baco was very happy and accepted him as his son-in-law, giving him the captured soldiers and letting him return to his country with his wife. The wife, seeing his ugly appearance, was often frightened. The prince felt ashamed and uneasy, so he went to the forest intending to commit suicide. Indra, knowing this from afar, came to his side, comforted him with kind words, and gave him a precious pearl, secretly instructing him to place it on his head, so that he could have a beautiful appearance like his own.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。跪而受已喜而还家,妇见不识乃语之曰:‘卿是何人?’夫即具说得珠之由,株杌之名自兹而息。乃更其号须陀罗舍。” 佛言:“大王!当尔之时赊拘利王者,今净饭父王是;王夫人者,今摩耶是;丑王子者,今我身是;昔美妇者,今耶输夫人是;昔六王者,今富阑那等六师是。” 如来不为毒所害缘起第五 尔时世尊游化依止王舍城中,时彼国主阿阇世王,创发净信归依于佛,四事供养曾无所乏,大臣人民四部之众,咸于如来亲近恭敬,以梵音声说微妙法,教诸弟子断十恶业,勿杀生命、窃盗他财、作非梵行、妄言、绮语、两舌、恶口、贪、瞋、邪见。是诸众生蒙佛教诲修行十善,于佛法中清净而住。 时有长者名曰申日,财富无量有大威势,从昔已来承事外道,深着邪见婆罗门法。时外道辈见阿阇世王大臣人民于如来所归奉者众,而我徒属不沾惠施,心怀憎嫉欲作损害。诣长者所共相议曰:“沙门常说了三世事,预知他人心之所念,今可验彼为实尔不?”长者曰:“然。以何试之?”外道告言:“当须长者诈作归依,请佛就舍略陈微供,彼若遥知应不见许,若受请者必遭所困 跪着接过后高兴地回到家中,妻子见了他不认识,就问他说:‘你是什么人?’丈夫便详细说了得到宝珠的缘由,‘株杌’这个名字从此就停止使用了。于是改名为须陀罗舍。 佛说:‘大王!当时赊拘利国王,就是现在的净饭父王;王夫人,就是现在的摩耶夫人;丑陋的王子,就是现在的我;以前的美丽妇人,就是现在的耶输夫人;以前的六个国王,就是现在的富阑那等六师。’ 如来不被毒害的因缘第五 当时,世尊在王舍城游化,依止在那里。当时那个国家的国王阿阇世王,初次发起了清净的信仰,归依了佛,用四事供养佛,从不缺少。大臣、人民和四部大众,都亲近恭敬如来,听如来用梵音宣说微妙的佛法,教导弟子们断除十恶业,不要杀害生命、偷盗他人财物、做不正当的性行为、说谎、花言巧语、挑拨离间、恶语伤人、贪婪、嗔恨、邪见。这些众生接受佛教诲,修行十善,在佛法中清净地安住。 当时,有一位名叫申日的长者,财富无量,很有权势,从以前就侍奉外道,深深执着于邪见的婆罗门教法。当时,外道们看到阿阇世王、大臣和人民都归顺佛陀,而他们的徒众却得不到施舍,心中怀着憎恨嫉妒,想要进行破坏。他们去到长者那里,一起商议说:‘沙门常常说三世的事情,预知他人心中所想,现在可以验证他是否真的如此。’长者说:‘好。用什么来试探呢?’外道们说:‘应当让长者假装归依,请佛到家中略作微薄的供养,如果他能遥知,应该不会答应,如果接受邀请,必定会陷入困境。’ He knelt to receive it, and happily returned home. His wife saw him and did not recognize him, so she asked him, ‘Who are you?’ The husband then explained in detail how he had obtained the pearl. The name ‘Zhu Wu’ ceased to be used from then on. He then changed his name to Sudarsha. The Buddha said, ‘Great King! The King Shejuli at that time is now King Suddhodana, the father of the Buddha; the Queen is now Maya; the ugly prince is now myself; the beautiful woman of the past is now Yashodhara; and the six kings of the past are now the six teachers such as Purana.’ The Fifth Cause of the Tathagata Not Being Harmed by Poison At that time, the World Honored One was traveling and teaching in Rajagriha, residing there. At that time, King Ajatasatru of that country had newly developed pure faith and taken refuge in the Buddha. He provided the Buddha with the four requisites, never lacking anything. The ministers, people, and the four assemblies all approached and respectfully honored the Tathagata, listening to the Tathagata preach the subtle Dharma in Brahma's voice, teaching the disciples to abandon the ten evil deeds: do not kill living beings, steal others' property, engage in improper sexual conduct, lie, use flowery language, sow discord, speak harshly, be greedy, be angry, or hold wrong views. These beings received the Buddha's teachings, practiced the ten good deeds, and lived purely in the Buddha's Dharma. At that time, there was an elder named Shen Ri, who had immeasurable wealth and great power. From the past, he had served external paths and was deeply attached to the Brahmanical teachings of wrong views. At that time, the externalists saw that King Ajatasatru, the ministers, and the people were all devoted to the Buddha, while their followers did not receive offerings. They harbored hatred and jealousy, wanting to cause harm. They went to the elder and discussed together, saying, ‘The Shramana often speaks of the three periods of time and knows what others are thinking. Now we can test whether he is really like that.’ The elder said, ‘Okay. How shall we test him?’ The externalists said, ‘The elder should pretend to take refuge and invite the Buddha to his home for a small offering. If he knows from afar, he should not accept. If he accepts the invitation, he will surely be trapped.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。”乃令长者先于门内凿大深坑多积炽火,危布铁椽薄土覆上,伺其沙门领徒至此,曲躬傍引揖之上行,若其安然无所损者,可命沙门次当就食,即以毒药和饭授之。申日云:“善。”一如所教,便令掘地速办斯事。即诣请佛具伸虔意;知其根熟默然许之。时诸外道皆大欢喜。 长者有子其名月光,年十六岁具相聪利,久植善本得宿命智,乃白父言:“如来神鉴举念即知,外道愚人慎不可信。”时彼申日不从子言,穿坑置火以毒和饭,迟明遣使请佛临访。如来知已敕诸比丘:“执持应器从吾之后。”四大天王释梵王等天龙鬼神,皆悉随侍。是时如来现诸神变,放金色光照申日舍,与诸大众安详而来,身相巍巍如星中月。将至其门地六震动,病苦有情皆得痊愈,盲者得视,聋者能听,毒者得消,狂者得正,一切音乐自然发响,珍禽瑞兽率舞和鸣。所覆火坑,佛神力故化成清净广大池沼,于中复现千叶莲华;如来徐步履上前入,诸大弟子各各皆蹈百叶莲华行列而进。 于是申日睹佛神变,省己无知生大忧怖,头面着地悔过自责。食时将至,匆遽欲炊上妙香饭以奉如来,佛即止之:“但持毒药所和饭来,不须复造。”佛语大众:“受是饭已且置钵中,未可食也 现代汉语译本:于是,他命令长者先在门内挖一个又大又深的坑,堆积大量的炽热火焰,上面危险地铺设铁椽,再用薄土覆盖。等待那位沙门带领徒弟来到这里时,就弯腰在旁边引导,恭敬地请他们走上前来。如果他们安然无恙,没有受到任何损伤,就可以命令沙门依次就餐,然后用毒药拌在饭里给他们吃。申日说:‘好。’完全按照所教的去做,立即命令人挖地,迅速准备好这件事。然后,他去请佛,详细地表达了虔诚的意愿;佛知道他的根基已经成熟,默默地答应了。当时,所有的外道都非常高兴。 长者有个儿子,名叫月光,十六岁,相貌端正,聪明伶俐,因为长期积累善根,获得了宿命通。他告诉父亲说:‘如来神明鉴察,举手投足都知道,外道愚蠢,不可相信。’当时,申日不听儿子的话,挖坑放火,用毒药拌饭,天亮后派人请佛来访。如来知道后,命令众比丘:‘拿着应器跟在我后面。’四大天王、释梵王等天龙鬼神,都跟随侍候。这时,如来显现各种神通变化,放出金色的光芒照耀申日的住所,与大众安详地走来,身相巍峨,如同星辰中的月亮。将要到达他家门口时,大地六次震动,患有疾病痛苦的众生都得到了痊愈,盲人能够看见,聋子能够听见,中毒的人毒性消解,疯癫的人恢复正常,一切音乐自然响起,珍禽瑞兽都跳舞鸣叫。所覆盖的火坑,因为佛的神力,化成清净广大的池沼,其中又显现出千叶莲花;如来缓缓地走上前去,进入其中,各位大弟子也都各自踩着百叶莲花,排列着前进。 于是,申日看到佛的神通变化,反省自己无知,产生了极大的忧虑和恐惧,头面着地,忏悔自责。吃饭的时间快到了,他匆忙地想要烹制上好的香饭来供奉如来,佛立即制止他说:‘只要把用毒药拌的饭拿来就行了,不必再做了。’佛告诉大众:‘接受这饭后,先放在钵中,不要吃。’ English version: Then, he ordered the elder to first dig a large, deep pit inside the gate, pile up a lot of blazing fire, dangerously lay iron rafters on top, and cover it with thin soil. He was to wait until that Shramana led his disciples to this place, then bow and guide them from the side, respectfully inviting them to walk forward. If they were safe and sound, without any harm, he could order the Shramana to eat in turn, and then give them food mixed with poison. Shen Ri said, 'Good.' He did exactly as instructed, immediately ordering people to dig the ground and quickly prepare this matter. Then, he went to invite the Buddha, expressing his sincere intentions in detail; the Buddha, knowing that his roots were mature, silently agreed. At that time, all the heretics were very happy. The elder had a son named Moonlight, sixteen years old, with a handsome appearance and clever intelligence. Because of his long accumulation of good roots, he had obtained the knowledge of past lives. He told his father, 'The Tathagata's divine insight knows everything, even the slightest thought. The heretics are foolish and cannot be trusted.' At that time, Shen Ri did not listen to his son's words, dug a pit and set fire, mixed poison with food, and sent someone to invite the Buddha to visit at dawn. When the Tathagata knew this, he ordered the monks, 'Hold your alms bowls and follow me.' The Four Heavenly Kings, Shakra, Brahma, and other gods, dragons, and spirits all followed and attended. At this time, the Tathagata manifested various miraculous transformations, emitting golden light that illuminated Shen Ri's residence, and came peacefully with the assembly, his appearance majestic, like the moon among the stars. As they were about to reach his gate, the earth shook six times, and all sentient beings suffering from illness were healed. The blind could see, the deaf could hear, those poisoned were detoxified, and the insane were restored to sanity. All music played naturally, and rare birds and auspicious beasts danced and sang in harmony. The fire pit that had been covered, due to the Buddha's divine power, transformed into a clear and vast pond, in which a thousand-petaled lotus flower appeared.
