因缘具足,如水坝溃决般产生,不做不食恶鬼所食之业,不积聚恶业,那么,善妙所作所积之业,其他谁来感受呢?比丘们,所作所积之业,不会在外面的地界成熟,不会在水界、火界、风界成熟,所作所积的善与不善之业,唯在所执之蕴、界、处成熟。 有情之业,百劫不坏,因缘和合时,自会成熟结果。 比丘们,过去世,在此贤劫,众生寿命二万岁时,如来、阿罗汉、正等觉、明行足、善逝、世间解、调御丈夫、无上士、天人导师、佛、薄伽梵光护如来出世,住在瓦拉纳西鹿野苑仙人堕处。此后,薄伽梵正等觉光护如来的侍者无忧,为了希求解脱,在薄伽梵处出家,但他认为解脱仅是拥有自主权,因此没有精进。一段时间后,无忧发誓要在边境安居。薄伽梵正等觉光护如来也完成了所有的佛事,如薪尽之火般进入最后的卧榻。比丘无忧也在无忧树下进入禅定。之后,住在无忧树的神听到薄伽梵正等觉光护如来将要圆寂,哭泣着,哭泣的眼泪滴落在无忧的身上。然后,无忧抬头看着哭泣的神,问道:天神为何哭泣?天神说:今晚半夜,薄伽梵正等觉

Endowed with the completion of conditions, it arises like a breached dam. Since one has done and accumulated deeds that do not involve being eaten by demons, who else will experience the deeds done and accumulated by Rabzang? Monks, the deeds done and accumulated will not ripen in the external realm of earth, nor will they ripen in the realm of water, fire, or wind. The virtuous and non-virtuous deeds done and accumulated will ripen only in the aggregates, elements, and sense bases that are grasped. The deeds of sentient beings will not be wasted even for a hundred eons. When assembled and the time arrives, they will ripen into their own fruit. Monks, in the past, in this very fortunate eon, when the lifespan of beings was twenty thousand years, the Tathagata, Arhat, Perfectly Awakened One, endowed with knowledge and conduct, the Gone to Bliss, Knower of the World, Guide of beings to be tamed, the unsurpassed Teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the Bhagavan Light Protector appeared in the world. He resided and dwelt in the Deer Park at Varanasi, in the place where the hermits fell. Then, the attendant of the Bhagavan, the Perfectly Awakened Buddha Light Protector, named Sorrowless, desiring liberation, went forth from the Bhagavan. He considered liberation to be merely having autonomy and did not exert effort. After some time, Sorrowless vowed to spend the summer retreat in the borderlands. The Bhagavan, the Perfectly Awakened Buddha Light Protector, also completed all the deeds of a Buddha and entered his final resting place like a fire that has consumed its fuel. The monk Sorrowless also entered into meditation under the Sorrowless Tree. Then, the deity residing in that Sorrowless Tree heard that the Bhagavan, the Perfectly Awakened Buddha Light Protector, would pass into complete nirvana and was weeping. The tears of his weeping fell upon the body of Sorrowless. Then, Sorrowless looked up and said to the weeping deity: "Deity, why are you weeping?" The deity said: "Tonight at midnight, the Bhagavan, the Perfectly Awakened One

圆满的佛陀光藏完全入灭。之后,无忧听闻天人的话语,如同要害被击中一般,发出“耶”的一声。并且以悲悯的声音哭泣。之后,天人问道:你为何哭泣?无忧说道:因为与亲友分离,与堪布分离。因为圆满正等觉佛陀光藏是我的舅舅,我福德衰减,一直懈怠没有精进。现在他已经走上长路,而我却仍然是凡夫俗子。因为路途遥远,我无法获得殊胜的成就。天人说道:如果我将你带到世尊面前,你能获得殊胜的成就吗?无忧说道:我心中这样想,一旦见到世尊,立刻就能获得殊胜的成就。之后,天人以神通力,将无忧带到世尊面前。他见到世尊后,生起了欢喜。生起欢喜后,世尊光藏宣说了他所听闻的,能够使人现证阿罗汉果的法。现证阿罗汉果后,首先,具寿无忧完全入灭,之后,世尊圆满正等觉佛陀光藏也完全入灭。之后,那位天人见到具寿无忧完全入灭,生起了欢喜。具寿所获得的一切殊胜成就都是我所教导的,因此我也要像他一样,在未来的时代,世尊圆满正等觉佛陀光藏对婆罗门童子说:婆罗门童子,当你活到人寿百岁时,如来阿罗汉圆满正等觉释迦牟尼将会出现。当他进入最后的睡眠时,我也要成为他的最末的现证声闻弟子。在世尊之前入灭,之后世尊释迦牟尼也入灭吧。比丘们,你们怎么想?那时那时成为天人的那位就是现在的善贤。

The perfectly enlightened Buddha Light Treasury completely passed into nirvana. Then, upon hearing the words of the deity, Asoka cried out "Ye!" as if struck in a vital spot. And he wept with a voice of compassion. Then the deity asked, "Why do you weep?" Asoka said, "Because I am separated from my relatives and separated from my preceptor. Because the perfectly enlightened Buddha Light Treasury is my uncle, I have declined in merit and have not made effort. Now he has gone on a long journey, and I remain an ordinary person. Because the path is long, I cannot attain distinction." The deity said, "If I were to lead you to the Blessed One, would you be able to attain distinction?" Asoka said, "Thus, in my mind, I think that as soon as I see the Blessed One, I will immediately attain distinction." Then, by the power of his miraculous abilities, the deity took Asoka to the Blessed One. When he saw the Blessed One, he felt joy. Having felt joy, the Blessed One Light Treasury taught the Dharma that he had heard, which would enable one to directly realize the state of an Arhat. Having directly realized the state of an Arhat, first, the venerable Asoka completely passed into nirvana, and then the Blessed One, the perfectly enlightened Buddha Light Treasury, also completely passed into nirvana. Then, that deity, seeing that the venerable Asoka had completely passed into nirvana, felt joy. "All the distinctions that this venerable one has attained have been taught by me, so I too should be like him. In the future, the Blessed One, the perfectly enlightened Buddha Light Treasury, said to the Brahmin boy, 'Brahmin boy, when you live to be a hundred years old, the Thus-Gone One, the Arhat, the perfectly enlightened Buddha Shakyamuni will appear.' When he enters his final sleep, I too will become his last direct disciple. May I pass into nirvana before the Blessed One, and then may the Blessed One Shakyamuni also pass into nirvana." Monks, what do you think? The one who became a deity at that time was this Rabzang.
