苦，不再有剩余呢？这些众生先前做了恶事，现在遭受苦报，这是自作自受，实在不是我的痛苦。我现在可以确定，这些无量受苦的众生，都是因为前世身、口、意业做了太多不善的事情，所以才导致今天堕入罪恶之中，绝对不是因为布施而受苦。’当时，善吉王以慈悲之心对波旬说道：‘善哉！大士！您真是慈悲，有怜悯之心，善于讲述正道和邪道的区别。如果布施的人要遭受这样的痛苦，那么接受布施的人又会在哪里呢？’ 波旬回答说：‘善哉！菩萨！您有深刻的智慧，能够提出这样的问题。仔细听！仔细听！我将为您讲述。’当时，魔王波旬用自己的神力，立刻化现出诸天众的形象，用天上的璎珞、宝鬘、花香来装饰自己的身体；无数的乐器演奏着音乐，作为娱乐，诸天女侍奉在左右；各种各样的树木常常结出甘甜的果实，花树、璎珞树、衣服树、饮食树排列在前面；无数的鸟儿互相鸣叫，声音和谐悦耳，非常可爱；到处都有流动的泉水和浴池，金色的莲花布满了水面；没有衰老、疾病、死亡的痛苦声音，身体处在七宝构成的精美宫殿之中。 English version: 'Your Majesty should know that these sinners can only hack at each other with knives and axes, their limbs falling piece by piece to the ground, yet their lives remain, unwilling to die. They are wrapped tightly with hot copper sheets, their bodies emitting smoke, yet their lives do not end. Even if a thousand nails are hammered into their bodies, like stretched-out cowhide, they still do not die. They run east and west, constantly encountering blazing fires, and their bodies are assaulted by hot and cold winds. Sometimes, evil winds scatter their bodies, or they are hammered into dust. When hungry, they swallow iron balls; when thirsty, they drink molten copper. They enter forests of knives and climb trees of swords, or they are in large cauldrons, rising and falling with the boiling soup, rotting like cooked beans. These beings, though suffering such various torments, still do not lose their life force. Your Majesty should know that I seek nothing from you today, nor do I seek any offerings, because you are practicing a perverse path. Therefore, I am now speaking the right path to you.' At that time, King Shanjii, seeing such beings in hell, immediately felt compassion and thought, 'These beings, transmigrating in the cycle of birth and death, with no end in sight, have already suffered immeasurable torments. Now, they suffer in this hell, truly pitiful and lamentable. When will they be able to end all suffering, leaving none remaining? These beings committed evil deeds in the past, and now they suffer the consequences. It is self-inflicted, not my suffering. I am now certain that these countless suffering beings have fallen into this state because of the many unwholesome actions of their body, speech, and mind in their past lives. It is definitely not because of giving that they suffer.' Then, King Shanjii, with a compassionate heart, spoke to Mara Papiyas, 'Excellent! Great Being! You are truly compassionate, with a heart of pity, and you are skilled in explaining the difference between the right path and the wrong path. If those who give are to suffer such torments, then where will those who receive be?' Mara Papiyas replied, 'Excellent! Bodhisattva! You have profound wisdom, able to ask such a question. Listen carefully! Listen carefully! I will explain it to you.' Then, Mara Papiyas, using his divine power, immediately transformed himself into the appearance of the heavenly beings, adorning his body with heavenly necklaces, jeweled garlands, and fragrant flowers. Countless musical instruments played music for entertainment, and heavenly maidens attended to his left and right. Various trees constantly produced sweet fruits, and trees of flowers, necklaces, clothing, and food were arranged in front. Countless birds sang in harmony, their voices melodious and delightful. Everywhere there were flowing springs and bathing pools, with golden lotuses covering the water. There were no sounds of suffering from old age, sickness, or death, and the body was in a magnificent palace made of seven treasures. 。”魔化是已，即示菩萨：“善男子！诸受施者，悉皆如是，受无量上乐，是故汝今应舍施心，从是以后可得受是微妙果报。” 尔时，善吉即作是念：“如是之言，颠倒虚妄，无有义理。所以者何？我未曾见呵梨勒树能生甘蔗？厕粪之中出净莲华？纯真妙金变为铜铁？信心檀越受地狱苦？如是之言多所亏损，此言颠倒定是魔语。”即作是言：“善哉，善哉！善能分别如是功德，汝则已为摄取于我。”复语魔言：“汝今当知，如蝗虫翅，所有风力不能吹动须弥山王，以汝风力欲令我动，亦复如是。如先所说，言诸施主以施因缘，堕于地狱，诸受施人，生天上者正合我愿。愿我从今独为施主，常堕地狱，令诸众生，悉为受者生于天上。一身受苦，令多受乐，岂非菩萨本誓愿耶！我今定知汝是波旬，汝亦不能当与我战，我从昔来常集施心，汝今云何卒令我舍？”菩萨摩诃萨，修行如是檀波罗蜜，乃至天魔不能留难。◎◎ 菩萨本缘经月光王品第五 菩萨摩诃萨， 行无上道时， 为诸众生故， 乃至舍头目。 是迦尸国，过去有王，名曰月光；修菩提道，为求法利，常呵诸欲。其王形体端严姝好，才智过人，天下少双，质直不谄，所言柔软，至诚无欺，远离瞋恚，同心欢乐。恭敬沙门、诸婆罗门，慈仁孝顺供养父母，邻国诸王承服德敬，而重伏之遥揖为友，名德流布遍于诸方，常能利益无量众生 现代汉语译本：‘魔化’已经完成，魔就向菩萨展示说：‘善男子！所有接受布施的人，都像这样，承受无量的上等快乐，所以你现在应该舍弃布施的心，从今以后就可以得到这种微妙的果报。’ 当时，善吉立刻这样想：‘这样的话，是颠倒虚妄的，没有任何道理。为什么呢？我从未见过诃梨勒树能长出甘蔗？厕所粪便中能长出清净的莲花？纯真的妙金会变成铜铁？有信心的施主会遭受地狱的痛苦？这样的话语有很多亏损之处，这话颠倒一定是魔鬼说的话。’他立刻说道：‘好啊，好啊！你真能分别出这样的功德，你已经算是摄取了我。’他又对魔说：‘你现在应当知道，就像蝗虫的翅膀，所有的风力都不能吹动须弥山王，你用你的风力想要让我动摇，也是如此。就像你先前所说，说那些施主因为布施的因缘，堕入地狱，而那些接受布施的人，却生到天上，这正合我的愿望。我愿从今以后独自成为施主，常常堕入地狱，让所有的众生，都成为接受布施的人，生到天上。我一人承受痛苦，让多数人享受快乐，这难道不是菩萨的本誓愿吗！我现在一定知道你是波旬，你也无法与我战斗，我从过去以来常常积累布施的心，你现在怎么能突然让我舍弃呢？’菩萨摩诃萨，修行这样的檀波罗蜜，乃至天魔也不能阻碍他。 菩萨摩诃萨，修行无上道时，为了众生的缘故，甚至可以舍弃头目。 我过去曾经听说： 在迦尸国，过去有一位国王，名叫月光；他修行菩提道，为了寻求佛法利益，常常呵斥各种欲望。这位国王形体端庄美好，才智过人，天下少有，正直不谄媚，说话柔和，至诚不欺骗，远离嗔恚，与人和睦欢乐。他恭敬沙门、婆罗门，慈爱孝顺供养父母，邻国的国王都承服他的德行，敬重他，遥远地向他作揖为友，他的名声德行流传遍布四方，常常能够利益无量的众生。 English version: ‘The transformation is complete,’ the demon then showed the Bodhisattva, ‘Good man! All those who receive offerings are like this, experiencing immeasurable supreme joy. Therefore, you should now abandon the mind of giving, and from now on, you can receive this subtle reward.’ At that time, Good Fortune immediately thought: ‘Such words are inverted and false, without any reason. Why? I have never seen a haritaki tree grow sugarcane? Or a pure lotus flower emerge from toilet waste? Or pure, wonderful gold turn into copper and iron? Or faithful donors suffer the pain of hell? Such words are very flawed, this inverted speech must be the words of a demon.’ He immediately said: ‘Excellent, excellent! You are truly able to distinguish such merits, you have already captured me.’ He then said to the demon: ‘You should know now, just as the wings of a locust, all the power of the wind cannot move Mount Sumeru, your power of wind wanting to move me is also like that. As you said before, that those donors, because of the cause of giving, fall into hell, while those who receive offerings are born in heaven, this is exactly my wish. I wish from now on to be the sole donor, constantly falling into hell, so that all sentient beings can be the recipients of offerings and be born in heaven. I alone endure suffering, so that many can enjoy happiness, isn't this the Bodhisattva's original vow! I now know for sure that you are Mara, and you cannot fight with me either. I have always accumulated the mind of giving since the past, how can you suddenly make me abandon it?’ The Bodhisattva Mahasattva, practicing such Dana Paramita, even the heavenly demons cannot hinder him. Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra, Chapter 5: King Moonlight When the Bodhisattva Mahasattva practices the supreme path, for the sake of all sentient beings, he can even give up his head and eyes. In the country of Kasi, there was a king in the past named Moonlight; he practiced the Bodhi path, seeking the benefits of the Dharma, and often rebuked all desires. This king had a dignified and beautiful appearance, his talent and wisdom surpassed others, he was rare in the world, honest and not flattering, his words were gentle, sincere and not deceitful, far from anger, and harmonious and joyful with others. He respected the Shramanas and Brahmins, was kind and filial, and supported his parents. The kings of neighboring countries all submitted to his virtue, respected him, and bowed to him from afar as a friend. His reputation and virtue spread throughout all directions, and he was often able to benefit countless sentient beings. 。拥护国土所有人民，犹如慈母爱其赤子，复于后时窃生此念：“我当云何令诸众生心欢喜耶？”即命大臣而作是言：“卿等今可庄严此城，悬诸华盖、竖宝幢幡，扫洒烧香以华散地，无令人民而有忧苦；悉以宝璎、珞璎珞其身，衣服被饰极令鲜明。”诸臣跪诺敬奉王命，即出宣告举城人民：“卿等各各庄严城郭，所有里巷极使清净，令如三十三天宫殿。” 时，月光王乘一大象出于宫殿，即命一臣：“卿持我声告诸人民：‘我今庄严如此城郭，非为贪欲、贡高、憍慢、畏怖他怨以御寇敌，亦不求作转轮圣王；我今所以庄严此城，唯欲令诸一切众生受无量乐，不堕地狱、畜生、饿鬼。’卿等今日宜应于我，起父母兄弟想善知识想；若入我宫，当如己舍，所须之物随意自取；我今大施莫自疑难，取物之后当行善法；供身之余，复当转施诸人，若欲须我身命，亦不爱也，唯愿一切皆受安乐。”时，月光王说是言已，宫中所有微妙宝物，使人负出随意布施，视诸人民犹如父母兄弟赤子，颜色和悦犹如秋月。一切人民瞻戴是王，如父如母如兄如弟，善心视王目如青莲。 当于尔时，国中人民无有持刀杖者，悉皆随王奉行十善，犹如牛王诸牛随从，亦如众星随逐于月；譬如众商随商主后，亦如众兵随逐主将；譬如蒲桃其子甘故生果亦甘；如旃檀树根华俱香。是月光王令诸人民等行十善，亦复如是。当是时也，其国乃至无有一人瞋嫉、憍慢、贡高、刚强、盗人财物、奸犯他妻、两舌恶口、贪恚邪见 现代汉语译本：国王爱护国土上所有的人民，就像慈母爱护自己的孩子一样，后来又产生这样的想法：‘我该如何让所有众生都心生欢喜呢？’于是命令大臣说：‘你们现在可以装饰这座城市，悬挂各种华盖，竖立宝幢和幡旗，清扫地面，焚香散花，不要让人民有任何忧愁和痛苦；让他们都佩戴宝璎和珞璎，穿上鲜艳的衣服。’大臣们跪下接受命令，然后出去宣告全城人民：‘你们各自装饰自己的家园，让所有的街巷都非常干净，像三十三天的宫殿一样。’ 当时，月光王乘坐一头大象走出宫殿，命令一位大臣说：‘你替我告诉人民：‘我今天装饰这座城市，不是因为贪婪、骄傲、傲慢、害怕敌人来犯，也不是为了当转轮圣王；我今天装饰这座城市，只是为了让所有众生都得到无量的快乐，不堕入地狱、畜生、饿鬼道。’你们今天应该把我当成父母兄弟和善知识一样看待；如果进入我的宫殿，就当成自己的家一样，需要什么东西就随意拿取；我今天大施舍，不要有任何怀疑和顾虑，拿了东西之后要行善法；除了供养自己，还要把剩余的财物分给其他人，如果需要我的生命，我也不会吝惜，只希望所有人都得到安乐。’当时，月光王说完这些话后，就让人把宫中所有珍贵的宝物都拿出来随意布施，看待人民就像父母兄弟和自己的孩子一样，脸色和蔼，像秋天的月亮一样。所有人民都敬仰这位国王，像对待父母兄弟一样，用善良的目光看着国王，像看着青莲花一样。 在那时，国内的人民没有携带刀剑的，都跟随国王奉行十善，就像牛王带领着牛群，也像众星追随着月亮；就像商人们跟随在商主后面，也像士兵们跟随在主将后面；就像葡萄因为果实甘甜所以种子也甘甜；就像旃檀树根和花都散发着香味。月光王让所有人民都奉行十善，也是如此。当时，这个国家甚至没有一个人有嗔恨、嫉妒、傲慢、贡高、强横、偷盗他人财物、奸淫他人妻子、两舌恶口、贪婪、嗔恨和邪见。 English version: The king cherished all the people of his land as a loving mother cherishes her own children, and later he conceived this thought: 'How can I make all beings happy?' He then commanded his ministers, saying, 'You may now adorn this city, hang up various canopies, erect precious banners and flags, sweep and sprinkle the ground, burn incense and scatter flowers, so that the people may have no sorrow or suffering; let them all wear precious necklaces and ornaments, and dress in bright and beautiful clothes.' The ministers knelt and accepted the king's command, and then went out to proclaim to all the people of the city: 'Each of you adorn your homes, and make all the streets and alleys very clean, like the palaces of the Thirty-three Heavens.' At that time, King Moonlight rode out of the palace on a large elephant, and commanded a minister, saying, 'You shall tell the people on my behalf: 'The reason I am adorning this city today is not out of greed, pride, arrogance, fear of enemies, or to become a wheel-turning sage king; the reason I am adorning this city is solely to bring immeasurable joy to all beings, so that they may not fall into hell, the animal realm, or the realm of hungry ghosts.
