Some say, "We are miserable because we have no parents, siblings, children, or relatives." Some say, "I am miserable because I have been afflicted with illness for a long time and cannot recover." Some say, "I was robbed by thieves after getting married, and having nothing, I beg for alms." Great Generosity, hearing these words, shed tears and departed. Then, in another place, he saw butchers slaughtering animals and skinning them, and the torturers of hell. Great Generosity asked, "Emaho! What are you doing?" They said, "We are doing this killing work, which is the tradition of our ancestors. If we don't do this, we cannot survive." Great Generosity was amazed by this and left, unable to bear to watch. Then, as he went to another place, he saw some farmers plowing fields. After the fields were plowed, many worms appeared, and many birds were pecking at and eating the worms. He asked them, "What are you doing?" They said, "We plow the fields and turn the soil, then sow seeds, and later they grow abundantly. We live off of these and also offer them to the king." Great Generosity was again amazed by this and went to another place. He saw hunters spreading nets and setting traps to catch birds. Some beings were caught in the nets and traps, and even though they thrashed and pulled, they could not escape. They cried out in pitiful voices, appearing very frightened. He asked, "What are you doing?" They said, "We also live by doing this killing work, which is our tradition." Great Generosity, hearing these words, became very disheartened. As he went to another place, he saw fishermen setting nets and catching many fish. They piled them up on the ground, and they were still moving. He asked, "What are you doing?" They said, "We have no other work in our lineage. We catch fish like this and live." Great Generosity, seeing such things, thought to himself, "These beings are poor and destitute, and for the sake of clothing and food, they do such unwholesome deeds, such as killing. Immediately after death, they will fall into the three lower realms, going from darkness to darkness, and there will be no time for liberation." Thinking this, he returned...

然后（他）来到这里，日夜思念此事，心中不悦，便走到父亲那里，对父亲说：我有一个请求，请您恩准。父亲说：孩子，你说什么，我都照办。父亲，我以前外出游玩时，看到许多人为了衣服和食物而烦恼，互相残杀，说谎、掠夺，做各种不善之事，我想对他们行布施。请您允许我从父亲的大宝库中随意取用，布施给那些穷人。父亲说：积攒了这么多宝库和珍宝，都是为了你，为什么不听你的话呢？然后，大布施者得到了父亲的允许，向所有村民宣布：大布施者将要进行大规模的布施，请大家聚集过来！当时，沙门、婆罗门、贫困者、无依无靠者和病人等都聚集在城外路边。他们从一百由旬、两百由旬、三百由旬、四百由旬、五百由旬、一千由旬的路程赶来。有些人从两千、三千、四千、五千由旬，甚至一万由旬的路程赶来。他们像云一样聚集在一起，随心所欲地布施，想要衣服的给衣服，想要食物的给食物，还有珍宝、黄金、白银、་རྱ་（一种宝石）、摩娑罗揭婆（一种宝石）、车辆、交通工具、轿子、花园、田地、步行工具等等，都随心所欲地布施。就这样，布施者开始布施，过了很久，宝库的三分之一已经耗尽，宝库的守护者对婆罗门说：公子从宝库中布施，已经用去三分之一，只剩下三分之二了，以后互相赠送的礼物和交易的货物怎么办呢？请您考虑一下。我说：我因为疼爱儿子，不忍心阻止他，即使宝库空了也无所谓。又过了很久，宝库的三分之二已经耗尽，只剩下三分之一了，守护者又对婆罗门说：宝库 三分之二已经耗尽，只剩下三分之一了。

Then (he) came here, thinking about this day and night, and feeling unhappy, he went to his father and said to his father: I have a request, please grant it. The father said: Child, whatever you say, I will do as you say. Father, when I used to go out and wander around, I saw many people troubled for clothes and food, killing each other, lying, plundering, and doing all kinds of unwholesome deeds. I thought of giving alms to them. Please allow me to take whatever I want from my father's great treasury and give it to those poor people. The father said: All the treasures and jewels that have been accumulated are for you, why shouldn't I listen to what you say? Then, the great almsgiver received his father's permission and announced to all the villagers: The great almsgiver is going to make a large-scale almsgiving, please gather around! At that time, ascetics, Brahmins, the poor, the helpless, and the sick gathered on the roadside outside the city. They came from a distance of one hundred yojanas, two hundred yojanas, three hundred yojanas, four hundred yojanas, five hundred yojanas, and one thousand yojanas. Some came from two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, five thousand yojanas, and even ten thousand yojanas. They gathered like clouds and gave alms as they pleased, giving clothes to those who wanted clothes, food to those who wanted food, as well as jewels, gold, silver, rya (a kind of gem), mosaragalva (a kind of gem), vehicles, transportation, palanquins, gardens, fields, walking tools, etc., all given as they pleased. In this way, the almsgiver began to give alms, and after a long time, one-third of the treasury had been exhausted, and the guardian of the treasury said to the Brahmin: The son has given alms from the treasury, and one-third has been used up, leaving only two-thirds. What will we do with the gifts and goods for trade that we give to each other in the future? Please consider it. I said: Because I love my son, I can't bear to stop him, even if the treasury is empty, it doesn't matter. After a long time, two-thirds of the treasury had been exhausted, leaving only one-third, and the guardian said to the Brahmin again: The treasury two-thirds have been exhausted, leaving only one-third.

那。互相赠送礼物，并说做什么买卖好呢？那位婆罗门说：我的儿子非常娇惯，我不敢反对他，说不出口。你好好地为我做些什么，就像没有空闲的田地一样立个名目吧。守藏人从婆罗门那里得到允许后，关上宝库的门，就去办事了。之后，乞丐们来到大施主那里，有些人找不到守藏人，所以宝库的门打不开。即使守藏人来了，也不会如意地施舍，所以大施主这样想：这样下去，这个守藏人是不会尽心的，即使父母有遗训，儿子也不应该把父母的宝库耗尽。我该怎么办才能如意地得到珍宝，从而利益很多人呢？于是他问人们说：世间做什么事才能如意地得到珍宝，从而获得很多财富，用之不竭呢？有些人说：耕种很多田地就能获得很多财富。有些人说：扩大畜牧业就能获得很多财富。有些人说：在长途道路上做买卖就能获得很多财富。有些人说：进入大海捞取珍宝就能获得很多珍宝。大施主听到他们说的话后，心想耕田、扩大畜牧业、在长途道路上做买卖都不是我的份，只有进入大海才是我的份。于是他想进入大海，对父母这样说：我要从大海中捞取很多珍宝，如意地布施给贫困的人。请允许我去大海捞取珍宝。他的父母听到他这样说后，感到震惊，对儿子这样说：世间的贫困者是没有智慧的，他们会赌上性命去冒险。你为什么会贫困到如此地步呢？如果你想布施，就把家里所有的财富都布施出去吧！不能去大海，因为大海里有波涛汹涌的漩涡。

That. They exchanged gifts and said, "What kind of business should we do?" The Brahmin said, "My son is very spoiled, I dare not oppose him, I can't bring myself to say it. Please do something good for me, like creating a pretext that there is no vacant field." After the treasury guard received permission from the Brahmin, he closed the treasury door and went to work. Then, beggars came to the great benefactor, but some could not find the treasury guard, so the treasury door could not be opened. Even if the treasury guard came, he would not give as they wished, so the great benefactor thought: If this continues, the treasury guard will not be diligent. Even if the parents have instructions, the son should not exhaust the parents' treasury. What should I do to obtain the jewels as I wish, so that I can benefit many people? So he asked the people, "What kind of work in the world can obtain jewels as one wishes, and thus obtain much wealth that is inexhaustible?" Some said, "Plowing many fields will result in much wealth." Some said, "Expanding livestock breeding will result in much wealth." Some said, "Doing business on long roads will result in much wealth." Some said, "Entering the ocean to retrieve jewels will result in many jewels." The great benefactor heard what they said and thought, "Plowing fields, expanding livestock breeding, and doing business on long roads are not my lot, only entering the ocean is my lot." So he thought of entering the ocean and said to his parents, "I will retrieve many jewels from the ocean and give them as I wish to the poor. Please allow me to go to the ocean to retrieve jewels." His parents heard him say this and were shocked, and said to their son, "The poor in this world are unwise, they risk their lives to go. Why are you so poor that you think like this? If you want to give alms, give away all the wealth in the house! You must not go to the ocean, because in the ocean there are turbulent whirlpools of waves."
