一定要终身铭记在心，希望广为传播，以救济众生。我已经断绝饮食十多天了，恐怕性命不保，白白浪费了之前的修行。’ 现代汉语译本：'兔子听了这话，悲伤哽咽地说：‘现在这次分别，何时才能再相遇？希望您能留宿一晚，让我虔诚地为您准备一点微薄的供养。’ English version: 'You are truly a holder of the great Dharma, and must possess the treasury of the true Dharma. I hope you will now reveal and expound the supreme and ultimate path of liberation for me. I previously practiced the Brahminical Dharma, enduring long and arduous cultivation without any benefit, just like someone who believes a foolish person can obtain fire by drilling ice, which is impossible. I wish to rely on you as a place of refuge.' English version: 'At that time, the rabbit replied, ‘Great Brahmin! The Dharma of liberation that I speak of can completely eliminate the root of suffering. If it suits your capacity, please ask without hesitation. I have long since removed the defilement of greed and stinginess. For the benefit of sentient beings, I am happy to remain in the cycle of birth and death, transforming into a rabbit to teach my kind.’ English version: 'At that time, the sage heard these words and was overjoyed, feeling unprecedentedly fortunate: ‘Today, I am fortunate to be close to your compassionate teachings. I hope you will not refuse to teach me, despite the fatigue. Over the years, our friendship has been deep, like close friends. I eat grass and drink from the spring, no different from the rabbit.’ English version: 'At that time, the people of the world were acting unlawfully, accustomed to evil, their blessings were waning, the good deities were leaving, and disasters were occurring one after another. The collective karma caused a drought, and for several years, no sweet rain fell. The grass and trees withered, and the springs dried up. At this time, the Brahmin thought, ‘I am old this year and lack food. If I just stay here, I will only become more hungry and weak.’ So he said to the rabbit, ‘I must leave temporarily and go to another place. I hope you will not be offended.’ English version: 'The rabbit then told him, ‘Great Sage! Now you are not happy here, I am afraid that I might have made a mistake, I hope you can forgive me. Our long-standing agreement will soon be easily broken.’ English version: 'The Brahmin said, ‘This place is quiet and secluded, without any harm. The rabbits are all gentle and do not disturb each other. It is just that I am lacking in blessings and food. I have long relied on the great being and heard the Dharma. I must remember it in my heart for the rest of my life, and I hope to spread it widely to save all beings. I have been without food and drink for more than ten days, and I am afraid that my life will not be preserved, and all my previous cultivation will be in vain.’ English version: 'Upon hearing this, the rabbit said with a choked voice, ‘When will we meet again after this separation? I hope you can stay for one night, so that I can sincerely prepare a small offering for you.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。”是时兔王语群兔曰：“今此大仙道力坚固，是善知识，最上福田，汝等戮力多积干薪，共助晨餐供爨之用。”乃诣仙所复作是言：“唯愿明旦必受我请。”仙即许之。 彼婆罗门伫思详审：“今此兔者为何所有？或得毙鹿，或遇残兽，心生欢悦勤请如是？” 是时兔王谓群属曰：“今此大仙欲舍我去，无常别离世态若此，众生寿命犹如幻化，果报一来无能脱者，是故汝等当勤精进求出离道得尽苦际。”尔时兔王终夜不寐，为彼同类说如是法。当其清旦诣积薪所，以火然之，其焰渐炽。白言：“大仙！我先所请欲陈微供，今已具办愿强食之。所以者何？智者集财积而能施，受者怜愍要必受用，我今贫乏施力为难，唯愿仁者决定纳受，我欲令他获安隐乐，自舍己身无所贪惜，共诸众生证无上觉。”说是语已投身火中。时彼仙人睹是事已，急于火聚匍匐救之，不坚之身倏焉而殒，抱之于膝悲不自胜：“苦哉大士！奄忽若此，为济他身而殒己命。我今敬礼为归依主，愿我来世常为弟子。”发此誓已置兔于地，头面作礼而复抱持，即与兔王俱投炽焰。 是时帝释天眼遥观，即至其所兴大供养，以众宝建窣睹波。佛语诸比丘：“昔仙人者，弥勒是也；彼兔王者，即我身也 现代汉语译本：当时兔王对众兔子说：‘现在这位大仙道力坚固，是善知识，是最上的福田，你们要齐心协力多积干柴，共同帮助准备早饭，供他烧火做饭。’于是到仙人那里又说：‘希望明天一定接受我的邀请。’仙人就答应了。 那个婆罗门伫立思考，仔细揣摩：‘这只兔子到底有什么？或许是得到了死鹿，或许是遇到了残余的野兽，心里高兴才如此勤恳地邀请我？’ 这时兔王对它的同伴们说：‘现在这位大仙将要离我而去，无常的别离世态就是这样，众生的寿命就像幻化一样，果报一旦到来，谁也无法逃脱，所以你们应当勤奋精进，寻求脱离苦难的道路，达到苦的尽头。’当时兔王整夜没有睡觉，为它的同类们讲述这样的佛法。当清晨到来时，它来到堆积柴火的地方，点燃了柴火，火焰渐渐旺盛。它说道：‘大仙！我先前邀请您，想陈述微薄的供养，现在已经准备好了，希望您勉强吃下。这是为什么呢？有智慧的人积聚财富，能够施舍，接受的人怜悯，一定要接受使用，我现在贫乏，施舍的力量很困难，只希望仁者您一定接受，我想让别人获得安稳快乐，自己舍弃身体，没有什么贪恋和吝惜，和所有众生一起证得无上觉悟。’说完这话就投身到火中。当时那位仙人看到这件事，急忙从火堆里爬出来救它，不坚固的身体瞬间就死了，抱着兔子放在膝盖上，悲伤得不能自已：‘可悲啊，大士！竟然这样突然地死去，为了救助他人而牺牲了自己的生命。我现在恭敬礼拜您，作为我的归依之主，希望我来世常常做您的弟子。’发了这个誓言后，把兔子放在地上，头面朝地礼拜，又抱起兔子，就和兔王一起投入到炽热的火焰中。 这时帝释天用天眼遥望，立刻来到那里，兴起盛大的供养，用各种宝物建造了佛塔。佛告诉众比丘：‘以前的仙人，就是弥勒菩萨；那只兔王，就是我的前身。’ English version: At that time, the Rabbit King said to the group of rabbits, 'Now this great immortal has strong spiritual power, is a good teacher, and the most supreme field of merit. You all should work together to gather more dry firewood, and help prepare breakfast together for him to cook with.' Then he went to the immortal and said again, 'I hope you will definitely accept my invitation tomorrow.' The immortal agreed. That Brahmin stood thinking and carefully pondered, 'What does this rabbit have? Perhaps it got a dead deer, or encountered a leftover beast, and is so happy that it is so diligently inviting me?' At this time, the Rabbit King said to his companions, 'Now this great immortal is about to leave me, such is the impermanent separation of the world. The lives of sentient beings are like illusions. Once the karmic retribution comes, no one can escape. Therefore, you should diligently strive to seek the path of liberation from suffering and reach the end of suffering.' At that time, the Rabbit King did not sleep all night, and spoke such Dharma to his companions. When the morning came, he went to the place where the firewood was piled up, lit the firewood, and the flames gradually grew stronger. He said, 'Great Immortal! I previously invited you, wanting to offer a small offering. Now it is ready, I hope you will force yourself to eat it. Why is this? The wise gather wealth and are able to give, and those who receive are compassionate and must accept and use it. I am now poor, and the power to give is difficult. I only hope that you, the benevolent one, will definitely accept it. I want to let others obtain peace and happiness, and I will give up my own body without any greed or stinginess, and together with all sentient beings, attain supreme enlightenment.' After saying these words, he threw himself into the fire. At that time, the immortal saw this, hurriedly crawled out of the fire to save him, but his fragile body died instantly. He held the rabbit in his lap, overcome with grief, 'Alas, great being! You have died so suddenly, sacrificing your life to save others. I now respectfully bow to you, as my refuge and master. I hope that in my next life, I will always be your disciple.' After making this vow, he placed the rabbit on the ground, bowed his head to the ground, and then picked up the rabbit again, and threw himself into the blazing flames with the Rabbit King. At this time, Emperor Sakra observed from afar with his heavenly eye, and immediately came to that place, made great offerings, and built a stupa with various treasures. The Buddha told the monks, 'The former immortal was Maitreya; that Rabbit King was my former self.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。” 菩萨本生鬘论卷第二 大正藏第 03 册 No. 0160 菩萨本生鬘论 菩萨本生鬘论卷第三 圣勇菩萨等造 宋朝散大夫试鸿胪少卿同译经梵才大师绍德慧询等奉 诏译 慈心龙王消伏怨害缘起第七 菩萨往昔以瞋因缘堕于龙中，有三种毒，所谓：气毒、眼毒、触毒，又由别报福业力故，身具众色如七宝聚，不假日月光明所照，常与无量百千诸龙，周匝围绕以为眷属，变现人身容色端正，住毗陀山幽邃之处，多诸林木华果茂盛，清净池沼甚可爱乐，与诸龙女作众歌舞共相娱乐，止住其中经于无量百千万岁。 是时有一金翅鸟王，飞腾翔集从空而下，欲取诸龙以为所食。当其来时，抟风鼓翼摧山碎石，江河川源悉皆干竭。时彼诸龙及龙女等，见是事已心大惊怖，所著璎珞严身之具，颤掉不安悉坠于地，咸作是言：“今此大怨，喙如金刚，所触皆碎，将来啖我，其当奈何？” 是时龙王初闻此说极生忧恼，由宿善力复更思惟：“心乃无畏，然此金翅具大威力，唯我一身可能御彼。”谓诸龙曰：“汝等但当从吾之后，必无所害 现代汉语译本 菩萨本生鬘论卷第二 大正藏第 03 册 No. 0160 菩萨本生鬘论 菩萨本生鬘论卷第三 圣勇菩萨等造 宋朝散大夫试鸿胪少卿同译经梵才大师绍德慧询等奉 诏译 慈心龙王消伏怨害缘起第七 菩萨往昔以瞋因缘堕于龙中，有三种毒，所谓：气毒、眼毒、触毒，又由别报福业力故，身具众色如七宝聚，不假日月光明所照，常与无量百千诸龙，周匝围绕以为眷属，变现人身容色端正，住毗陀山幽邃之处，多诸林木华果茂盛，清净池沼甚可爱乐，与诸龙女作众歌舞共相娱乐，止住其中经于无量百千万岁。 是时有一金翅鸟王，飞腾翔集从空而下，欲取诸龙以为所食。当其来时，抟风鼓翼摧山碎石，江河川源悉皆干竭。时彼诸龙及龙女等，见是事已心大惊怖，所著璎珞严身之具，颤掉不安悉坠于地，咸作是言：‘今此大怨，喙如金刚，所触皆碎，将来啖我，其当奈何？’ 是时龙王初闻此说极生忧恼，由宿善力复更思惟：‘心乃无畏，然此金翅具大威力，唯我一身可能御彼。’谓诸龙曰：‘汝等但当从吾之后，必无所害’ English version Bodhisattva Jataka Mala Sutra, Volume 2 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 03, No. 0160, Bodhisattva Jataka Mala Sutra Bodhisattva Jataka Mala Sutra, Volume 3 Composed by Holy Hero Bodhisattva and others Translated by Shao Dehui Xun, the Great Master of Sanskrit Scriptures, and others, by Imperial Decree, during the Song Dynasty, who held the title of 'San Da Fu Shi Hong Lu Shao Qing' The Seventh Chapter: The Origin of the Compassionate Dragon King Subduing Enmity and Harm In the past, due to the karmic cause of anger, the Bodhisattva was reborn as a dragon. He possessed three types of poison: breath poison, eye poison, and touch poison. Furthermore, due to the power of his past meritorious deeds, his body was adorned with various colors like a collection of seven treasures. He did not require the light of the sun or moon. He was always surrounded by countless hundreds and thousands of dragons as his retinue. He could transform into a human form with a handsome appearance. He resided in the secluded depths of Mount Vithada, a place abundant with forests, flourishing flowers, and fruits, with clear and delightful ponds. He would engage in singing and dancing with the dragon maidens, enjoying himself for countless millions of years. At that time, a Garuda King, soaring and gathering, descended from the sky, intending to seize the dragons for food. When it arrived, its flapping wings stirred up winds that shattered mountains and rocks, causing rivers and streams to dry up. When the dragons and dragon maidens saw this, they were greatly terrified. The ornaments and adornments they wore trembled and fell to the ground. They all exclaimed, 'This great enemy has a beak like diamond, which shatters everything it touches. It will devour us. What shall we do?' Upon first hearing this, the Dragon King was extremely distressed. However, due to the power of his past good deeds, he further contemplated, 'My heart is fearless, but this Garuda possesses great power. Only I alone can withstand it.' He said to the dragons, 'You should all follow behind me, and you will surely come to no harm.
