尔时,世尊在于何处,合掌恭敬,对世尊如是禀告:尊者,我们若能在善说之律中出家、受具足戒,并获得比丘之体,我们也愿在世尊处修持梵行。然后,世尊以“比丘来”之语为他们剃度,并授与具足戒。世尊也为他们授记。他们也以精进、修持和努力,断除一切烦恼,现证阿罗汉果。他们成为阿罗汉,远离三界之贪欲,具有黄金与瓦砾等同之心,虚空与手掌无别之心,如旃檀浸泡般清凉。以智慧摧毁卵壳,获得智慧、神通和各别正知,不贪恋有之利养、执着和恭敬,成为具足自在和近自在之诸天供养、忆念和恭敬之处。之后,比丘们对佛世尊禀告:尊者,世尊您使众多争斗之人获得寂静,请看您将他们安置于永恒之究竟成就和安乐之涅槃中。世尊开示道:不仅是现在,过去世我也曾将这些众多之人安置于四禅和五神通中,你们听着。比丘们,过去世时,在某个寂静的村庄里,一位婆罗门举行祭祀。举行祭祀时,婆罗门们为了座位而争斗。当时,在某个苦行之处,住着一位拥有五百眷属的仙人。之后,在举行祭祀之处,那位仙人为了平息婆罗门们的争斗,宣说了与之相应的法,因此争斗也平息了,婆罗门们也生起了厌离心,就在他那里出家了。他们在那里出家后,生起了四禅和五神通。比丘们,你们怎么想?当时

Then, the Blessed One, wherever he was, folded his palms respectfully and said to the Blessed One: "Venerable One, if we can be ordained and fully ordained in the well-spoken Dharma-Vinaya, and obtain the status of a Bhikshu, we also wish to practice Brahmacharya in the presence of the Blessed One." Then, the Blessed One ordained them with the words "Come, Bhikshus" and granted them full ordination. The Blessed One also prophesied for them. They also, through diligence, practice, and effort, abandoned all defilements and directly realized the Arhatship. They became Arhats, free from the desires of the three realms, possessing a mind that equated gold and rubble, a mind that saw no difference between the sky and the palm of the hand, cooled like sandalwood soaked in water. They shattered the eggshell with wisdom, attained wisdom, supernormal powers, and individual perfect knowledge, not craving the gains, attachments, and respect of existence, becoming a place of offering, remembrance, and reverence for the gods with and without power. After that, the Bhikshus reported to the Buddha, the Blessed One: "Venerable One, you have pacified many fighting people, please look at how you have placed them in the ultimate achievement of eternity and the bliss of Nirvana." The Blessed One said: "Not only now, but in the past I also placed these many people in the four Dhyanas and five supernormal powers, listen to it. Bhikshus, in the past, in a certain secluded village, a Brahmin performed a sacrifice. While performing the sacrifice, the Brahmins fought for seats. At that time, in a certain ascetic place, there lived a sage with five hundred attendants. Then, at the place where the sacrifice was being performed, that sage, in order to pacify the Brahmins' fighting, proclaimed the Dharma that was in accordance with it, so the fighting was also pacified, and the Brahmins also developed aversion, and they renounced there. After they renounced there, they developed the four Dhyanas and five supernormal powers. Bhikshus, what do you think? At that time

即是成为仙人,安住于菩萨行持的,那就是我。那时成为婆罗门的人,就是这些普通人。那时我也平息了普通人的争斗,安置于四禅定和五神通。现在我也平息了普通人的争斗,安置于雍仲的究竟成就和安乐的涅槃。另外,在正等觉佛陀光明的教法中,这些人都出家了,在那里他们一生行持梵行,使诸根完全成熟,因此现在获得了完全的解脱。 名为龙的故事是:佛陀住在舍卫城祇园精舍时,当时光明王的一个大臣被诬陷,夺走了所有财产,关进了监狱,他在那里受尽饥渴而死。然后他发了恶愿,死后转生成为死后之下的一个凶恶的夜叉,他向拘萨罗国的所有地方传播瘟疫,那些普通百姓都口口相传,占卜师们说:那个大臣临死时发了恶愿,转生成为凶恶的夜叉,他传播了这些瘟疫。然后听到这些话后,许多百姓都变得不知所措。然后光明王心想:这个人是谁也无法调伏的,现在为了这件事必须向世尊祈祷,于是他前往世尊所在的地方,到达后,以头顶礼世尊的双足,然后坐在一旁。坐在一旁后,光明王对世尊这样说道:尊者,世尊您调伏了凶恶的龙王难陀和近难陀等等,也调伏了凶恶的夜叉荒野居等等,尊者,某个大臣发了恶愿,转生成为凶恶的夜叉,他在我的国家传播瘟疫,世尊

That is, becoming a sage, abiding in the conduct of a Bodhisattva, that is me. Those who became Brahmins at that time were just these ordinary people. At that time, I also pacified the strife of ordinary people and established them in the four dhyanas and five supernormal powers. Now, I also pacify the strife of ordinary people and establish them in the ultimate accomplishment of Yungdrung and the blissful Nirvana. Furthermore, in the teachings of the perfectly enlightened Buddha of Light, all of these people have renounced the world. There, they practiced celibacy for one lifetime, and by fully maturing their faculties, they have now attained complete liberation. The story called "Naga" is: When the Buddha was residing in Jeta Grove in Shravasti, at that time, a great minister of King Prasenajit was falsely accused, all his possessions were taken away, and he was imprisoned in the dungeon. There, he suffered from hunger and thirst and died. Then he made a perverse aspiration, and after dying, he was reborn as a fierce yaksha under the time of death. He spread plagues throughout the entire country of Kosala, and those ordinary people all spread the word. The diviners said: That great minister made a perverse aspiration at the time of his death, and was reborn as a fierce yaksha, and he spread these plagues. Then, as soon as they heard these words, many people became at a loss as to what to do. Then King Prasenajit thought: This person cannot be subdued by anyone, now for this matter, I must pray to the Bhagavan. So he went to where the Bhagavan was, and after arriving, he bowed his head at the feet of the Bhagavan, and then sat to one side. After sitting to one side, King Prasenajit said this to the Bhagavan: Venerable one, Bhagavan, you have subdued the fierce nagas Nanda and Upananda, and you have also subdued the fierce yakshas wilderness dwellers and so on. Venerable one, a certain great minister made a perverse aspiration and was reborn as a fierce yaksha, and he is spreading plagues in my country, Bhagavan.
