' 。何必正欲得此白象？汝婆罗门！怜愍众生，出家受戒，已远离一切之物，何用是象？汝若得者，或更有患。” 诸婆罗门复作是言：“我等不用钱财珍宝，唯须是象乘之入山，求觅好华供养诸天已，当令众生若生天上、或入涅槃。王子本愿欲利益他，我亦如是欲利益他。” 尔时，王子闻是语已，即生悲心，便下白象，覆作是念：“此象虽是父王所有，今以布施，大臣人民必当见嫌，欲利益他，何得计是！然我所施，不求名声生天人中，以是因缘，令诸众生断诸烦恼。”作是愿已，便持白象施婆罗门，自乘一马，还欲入城。 诸婆罗门既得象已，便共累骑，回还而去。忽尔之间，已到本国。 时诸大臣即共集聚，疾至王所，白言：“大王！今日快善所重白象，王子已持施婆罗门，诸婆罗门得已乘去，今到敌国；以王先时见其布施金银珍宝，不呵责故，致令今日复以白象施与怨家。大王！世间恶子多诸过患，饮酒樗蒲贪色费用，臣等敢奏不咎责，王子若能从今已往，更不以财惠施于人，则可听住；若不止者，便当摈之远着深山。” 尔时，父王即召其子作是念言：“怪哉！我今云何一旦为诸大臣不令我子随意行施；我今惭愧，犹如妇人怖畏姑妐 现代汉语译本：'何必一定要得到这头白象呢？你们这些婆罗门！应该怜悯众生，出家受戒，已经远离了一切物质，要这象有什么用呢？你们如果得到它，或许会带来更多的祸患。' 现代汉语译本：'众婆罗门又说：'我们不要钱财珍宝，只是需要这头象来骑乘进入山中，寻找美好的花朵供奉诸天，然后让众生要么升入天界，要么进入涅槃。王子本来就发愿要利益他人，我们也一样想要利益他人。'' 现代汉语译本：'当时，王子听到这些话后，心中生起悲悯之心，便从白象上下来，心中思量：'这象虽然是父王的，现在用来布施，大臣和百姓必定会责怪，想要利益他人，怎么能计较这些呢！然而我所施舍，不求名声，也不求升入天界，而是以此因缘，让众生断除一切烦恼。'发愿之后，便将白象布施给婆罗门，自己骑上一匹马，想要返回城中。 现代汉语译本：'众婆罗门得到象后，便一起骑上，返回而去。忽然之间，已经到达了他们的国家。' 现代汉语译本：'当时，各位大臣立即聚集在一起，迅速来到国王那里，禀告说：'大王！今天您非常珍爱的白象，王子已经把它布施给了婆罗门，那些婆罗门得到后骑着走了，现在已经到了敌国；因为大王您之前看到他布施金银珍宝，没有责怪他，才导致今天又把白象施舍给了仇敌。大王！世上的恶子有很多过错，饮酒赌博贪恋美色挥霍钱财，我们臣子们不敢不奏告，如果王子从今以后，不再把财物施舍给别人，就可以让他继续住在这里；如果他不停下来，就应当把他驱逐到遥远的山林中。' 现代汉语译本：'当时，父王召见他的儿子，心中想：'奇怪啊！我怎么能因为大臣们而不让我儿子随意布施呢？我感到惭愧，就像妇人害怕公婆一样。' English version: 'Why must you obtain this white elephant? You Brahmins! You should have compassion for all beings, renounce the world, and observe the precepts. You have already renounced all material possessions, what use is this elephant to you? If you obtain it, it may bring even more trouble.' English version: 'The Brahmins replied, 'We do not want money or treasures, we only need this elephant to ride into the mountains, to seek beautiful flowers to offer to the gods, and then to enable beings to either ascend to the heavens or enter Nirvana. The prince originally vowed to benefit others, and we also wish to benefit others in the same way.' English version: 'At that time, upon hearing these words, the prince felt compassion in his heart. He dismounted the white elephant and thought, 'Although this elephant belongs to my father, if I give it away, the ministers and people will surely blame me. How can I be so calculating when I wish to benefit others! However, I do not seek fame or rebirth in the heavens through this act of giving, but rather, I wish to enable all beings to cut off all afflictions.' After making this vow, he gave the white elephant to the Brahmins, and he himself mounted a horse, intending to return to the city. English version: 'After receiving the elephant, the Brahmins all mounted it together and rode away. In an instant, they had already reached their own country.' English version: 'At that time, the ministers immediately gathered together and quickly went to the king, reporting, 'Your Majesty! Today, the white elephant that you cherished so much has been given away by the prince to the Brahmins. Those Brahmins have taken it and ridden away, and they have now reached the enemy's country. Because Your Majesty previously saw him giving away gold, silver, and treasures and did not reprimand him, it has led to him giving away the white elephant to our enemies today. Your Majesty! There are many faults in wicked sons, such as drinking, gambling, lusting after women, and squandering money. We ministers dare not fail to report this. If the prince from now on does not give away his wealth to others, then he may be allowed to stay here; if he does not stop, then he should be banished to the remote mountains.' English version: 'At that time, the father king summoned his son and thought, 'How strange! How can I, because of the ministers, prevent my son from giving freely? I feel ashamed, like a woman who is afraid of her in-laws.' 。”即向其子而说是言：“卿从今始，莫复贪着，一切功德可离舍；心行正法者，应着草衣服、啖水果远处深山；卿今不应挑其右目以治左眼，卿于今日如何一旦恼乱我心及诸大臣？夫为人法，先安其亲，然后乃当及余他人，卿今云何以我白象施与怨家？”◎ 右经第三幅十四行，鹿群威猛(之下)丹本有“如我曾闻，菩萨往昔以恚因缘堕于龙中，(乃至)五谷临熟遇天恶雹(等)。”凡二十六行四百四十二字；国本、宋本所无者，今捡彼文，则是此经下卷。〈龙品〉第八之文，《丹藏》错乱，妄安于兹耳，故今不取。 大正藏第 03 册 No. 0153 菩萨本缘经 菩萨本缘经卷中 吴月支优婆塞支谦字恭明译一切持王子品第三之余 ◎尔时，王子合掌长跪，敬礼父王：“臣所布施，不为贪欲、瞋恚、愚痴，不为名声，不求生天人中豪贵，非是癫狂错乱心作，为求正法，作是施耳。大王！当知臣今虽复拥护父母、兄弟、妻子，及其死时，虽有亲族，谁能随去？唯见正法逐之不舍。臣若无心行善法者，犹望大王苦言教敕，如何一旦信用邪言，断臣行善？王先敕臣施舍舍心，舍心是臣本性根原，云何可舍？犹如地性，不可舍坚；乃至火性，不可舍热；如鱼投陆，命何能存？如王僮仆六情具足，身体完具与天无异，是人云何与王给使？王家所有车乘、婇女、金银、珍宝从何处得？当知皆是过去施业，今得是报。大王！当知一切饿鬼，饥火所逼，身心燋恼，如此皆是贪惜因缘 现代汉语译本：于是（国王）就对他的儿子说：‘你从今以后，不要再贪恋执着，一切功德都可以舍弃；真心修行正法的人，应该穿着草衣，吃水果，住在偏远深山；你现在不应该挖出右眼来治疗左眼，你今天怎么突然扰乱我的心和各位大臣？做人的道理，应该先安顿好自己的亲人，然后才轮到其他人，你现在怎么能把我心爱的白象送给仇敌？’ 现代汉语译本：菩萨本缘经卷上 现代汉语译本：右经第三幅十四行，鹿群威猛（之下）丹本有‘如我曾闻，菩萨往昔以嗔恚因缘堕于龙中，（乃至）五谷临熟遇天恶雹（等）。’共二十六行四百四十二字；国本、宋本所没有的，现在查阅那些文字，原来是此经下卷。《龙品》第八的文字，《丹藏》错乱，错误地安放在这里，所以现在不采用。 现代汉语译本：大正藏第 03 册 No. 0153 菩萨本缘经 现代汉语译本：菩萨本缘经卷中 现代汉语译本：僧伽斯那撰 现代汉语译本：吴月支优婆塞支谦字恭明译一切持王子品第三之余 现代汉语译本：这时，王子合掌长跪，恭敬地向父王行礼：‘我所布施，不是为了贪欲、嗔恚、愚痴，不是为了名声，不求生到天界享受荣华富贵，也不是因为癫狂错乱而做，是为了追求正法，才做这样的布施。大王！您应该知道，我即使能够保护父母、兄弟、妻子，等到他们去世的时候，即使有亲人，谁又能跟随他们而去呢？只有正法才能跟随我们不离不弃。我如果无心修行善法，还希望大王您能用严厉的言辞教导我，怎么能突然相信那些邪恶的言论，断绝我行善的道路呢？您之前命令我舍弃布施的心，舍弃的心是我的本性根源，怎么可以舍弃呢？就像大地的性质，不能舍弃坚固；乃至火的性质，不能舍弃热；就像鱼离开水，生命怎么能够存活？就像大王的仆人六根完好，身体健全和天人没有差别，这个人怎么能给大王您使唤呢？大王您家里的车乘、美女、金银、珍宝是从哪里来的？应该知道，这些都是过去布施的果报，现在才得到这些回报。大王！您应该知道，一切饿鬼，被饥饿的火焰所逼迫，身心焦躁恼怒，这些都是因为贪婪吝啬的缘故。’ English version: Then (the king) said to his son: 'From now on, you must not be greedy and attached. All merits can be abandoned. Those who truly practice the Dharma should wear grass clothes, eat fruits, and live in remote mountains. You should not gouge out your right eye to treat your left eye. How can you suddenly disturb my mind and the minds of all the ministers today? The way of being a person is to first settle one's own relatives, and then to attend to others. How can you give my beloved white elephant to the enemy?' English version: Bodhisattva's Original Causes Sutra, Volume 1 English version: The right sutra, the third scroll, fourteen lines, the deer herd is mighty (below) the Dan version has 'As I have heard, the Bodhisattva in the past fell into the dragon realm due to anger, (and so on) when the five grains were about to ripen, they encountered severe hail (etc.).' A total of twenty-six lines and four hundred and forty-two characters; what is not in the Guo version and Song version, now checking those texts, it turns out to be the lower volume of this sutra. The text of the eighth chapter, 'Dragon Chapter', in the Dan version is confused and wrongly placed here, so it is not adopted now. English version: Taisho Tripitaka No. 03, No. 0153 Bodhisattva's Original Causes Sutra English version: Bodhisattva's Original Causes Sutra, Volume 2 English version: Written by Sanghasena English version: Translated by Upasaka Zhi Qian, courtesy name Gongming, from Yuezhi of Wu, the remainder of the third chapter, 'Prince Who Holds All' English version: At that time, the prince put his palms together, knelt down, and respectfully bowed to his father: 'My giving is not for greed, anger, or ignorance, not for fame, not seeking to be reborn in the heavens to enjoy wealth and honor, nor is it done out of madness or confusion, but for the pursuit of the true Dharma. Your Majesty! You should know that even if I can protect my parents, brothers, and wife, when they die, even if there are relatives, who can follow them? Only the true Dharma can follow us and never leave us. If I have no intention of practicing good deeds, I still hope that Your Majesty can teach me with harsh words. How can you suddenly believe those evil words and cut off my path of doing good? You previously ordered me to give up the mind of giving. The mind of giving is the root of my nature. How can it be given up? Just like the nature of the earth, it cannot give up firmness; even the nature of fire, it cannot give up heat; like a fish leaving the water, how can life survive? Just like Your Majesty's servant, with all six senses intact, a healthy body, and no different from a celestial being, how can this person be used by Your Majesty? Where did Your Majesty's carriages, beauties, gold, silver, and treasures come from? You should know that these are all the results of past giving, and now you receive these rewards. Your Majesty! You should know that all hungry ghosts, forced by the flames of hunger, are restless and distressed in body and mind. All of this is due to greed and stinginess.' 。若诸天中，七宝宫殿寿命长远，当知皆是布施因缘。大王！臣今所施，火不能烧，水不能漂，王家盗贼，怨家债主，不能侵夺所施之物。于诸趣中，能作亲友，是天乘载是所施物；在生死中，随逐臣身，如犊随母。如王所敕，欲令臣止布施之心，若不能舍，当徙深山；虽至深山，苟施心不息，贫穷之人，亦复当来。臣本誓愿实乐山林，所以未启，虑父不放。大王今已听真得本愿，正尔奉辞涉路进发。所以者何？山林之中，是闲静处仙圣所乐，能离贪欲、瞋恚、愚痴，臣若至，彼必能自利。” 尔时，王子即礼王足，右绕三匝，奉辞而出；次至母所，跪礼如常，右绕三匝，礼足而出；复至妻所，而作是言：“卿好住此，供养父母，守护其子，此即是汝修行正法。今我欲去远至山林。何以故？我先常愿，欲入深山修行其志。父王今听，是故我当速往至彼，以副我心；与诸禽兽共为等侣，饮食水果足自存活；汝是王女，身体柔软、端正、详雅，何能堪忍如是苦事，故应住此不须随我。”其妻闻已，心闷懊恼，身体掉动如芭蕉叶，悲号啼泣，椎胸拔发，举声大哭，唱言：“奈何！君有何罪，乃令父王摈之深山？大王宽慈，正法治化爱民如子，云何一旦驱摈乃尔？君之爱形，身色柔软如瞻婆华，云何一旦当卧棘刺土石之上？如今在宫五乐自娱，设当入山唯闻虎狼、师子、毒兽诸恶音声 现代汉语译本：如果诸天之中，七宝宫殿的寿命长久，应当知道这都是布施的因缘。大王！我如今所布施的，火不能烧，水不能漂，王家的盗贼、仇敌债主，都不能侵夺我所布施的财物。在各道轮回中，它能成为亲友，是天界乘坐的工具，是所布施的物品；在生死轮回中，它会跟随我的身体，就像小牛跟随母牛一样。如果大王您命令我停止布施的心，如果不能停止，就应当把我迁徙到深山中；即使到了深山，如果布施的心不停止，贫穷的人也会再次到来。我本来就发誓喜欢山林，所以没有禀告，是担心父亲不放我走。大王现在已经允许我实现本来的愿望，我这就告辞上路出发。为什么呢？因为山林之中，是清静的地方，是仙人和圣人所喜爱的，能够远离贪欲、嗔恚、愚痴，我如果到了那里，必定能够自我利益。 当时，王子就礼拜国王的脚，右绕三圈，告辞而出；接着到母亲那里，跪拜如常，右绕三圈，礼拜脚后离开；又到妻子那里，对她说：‘你好好住在这里，供养父母，守护孩子，这就是你修行正法。我现在想要去远处的山林。为什么呢？因为我之前常常希望，能够进入深山修行我的志向。父王现在允许了，所以我应当快速前往那里，以满足我的心愿；和各种禽兽成为同伴，吃水果就足够自己生存了；你是王女，身体柔软、端庄、文雅，怎么能够忍受这样的苦事，所以应该住在这里，不需要跟随我。’他的妻子听了之后，心中烦闷懊恼，身体摇动就像芭蕉叶，悲伤地哭泣，捶胸顿足，拔头发，大声哭喊，说道：‘为什么！您有什么罪过，竟然让父王把您赶到深山？大王宽厚仁慈，用正法治理国家，爱民如子，为什么突然之间要这样驱赶您？您的容貌，身体的颜色柔软如瞻婆花，为什么突然之间要睡在荆棘和土石之上？现在在宫中享受五种快乐，如果到了山里，只能听到虎狼、狮子、毒兽的各种恶劣的声音。’ English version: If in the heavens, the seven-jeweled palaces have long lifespans, know that it is all due to the causes of giving. Great King! What I now give cannot be burned by fire, cannot be floated away by water, and neither the royal thieves, nor enemies, nor creditors can seize what I have given. In all realms of existence, it can become a friend, a vehicle for the heavens, and the very thing that was given; in the cycle of birth and death, it will follow my body, like a calf follows its mother.
