身体成为天人应供养,具有清净之身以庄严装饰,天人的鲜花极其美丽曼陀罗,无与伦比的波达拉也向谁供养呢?谁清扫了佛塔上凋谢的花朵?这些果报相似,成为殊胜。如是等等说了许多。《楼阁经》中,世尊开示说:阿难陀,清扫的利益有五种,哪五种呢?自己的心得以清净,他人的心得以清净,诸天心生欢喜,造作积累美好的业,身体坏灭后,于善趣高处的天界中转生为天人。在《悲华经》中也说了不可思议的利益,其中像这样展示了因果的譬喻:阿难陀,如来应供正等觉现在住世时,尚且要恭敬侍奉,更何况对完全涅槃的舍利做供养呢?阿难陀,有些人,乃至在梦中见到如来的佛塔后,心生欢喜,阿难陀,那善根的果报就是涅槃,我说那将达到无余涅槃的边际。并以从鱼塘中引水的譬喻开示说:因此,善男子们,对如来做供养的善根,具有大果报和大饶益,善男子们,对如来做供养的善根,像那样安放,播种在广大的福田中,对于那些,乃至长久到百千万亿劫也不会耗尽。所有那些善根的果报就是涅槃,将证得涅槃。阿难陀,为了理解意义,我做了这个譬喻,其中所要观察的意义是什么呢?阿难陀,鱼,是指凡夫的隐语。水,是指对如来生起善根的隐语。线,是指四摄的隐语。

The body becomes worthy of offering to gods and humans, possessing a pure body adorned with ornaments, the heavenly flowers, the most beautiful Mandarava, to whom shall the incomparable Potala be offered? Who sweeps away the withered flowers on the stupa? These results are similar, becoming supreme. Thus, many things were said. In the Sutra of the Layered Mansion, the Blessed One said: Ananda, the benefits of sweeping are fivefold. What are these? One's own mind becomes clear, the minds of others become clear, the gods are delighted, beautiful actions are done and accumulated, and after the body is destroyed, one is born as a god in the happy realm of the heavens. Also, in the Sutra of the White Lotus of Compassion, immeasurable benefits are spoken of, and the example of cause and effect is shown in this way: Ananda, let alone honoring and serving the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Complete Buddha, who is now living, let alone making offerings to the relics of one who has completely passed into Nirvana. Ananda, if some, even in a dream, see the stupa of the Tathagata and their minds are pleased, Ananda, the fruit of that root of virtue is Nirvana, and I say that it will reach the limit of complete Nirvana. And using the example of drawing water from a fish pond, he taught: Therefore, sons of good family, the root of virtue of offering to the Tathagata is endowed with great fruit and great benefit. Sons of good family, the root of virtue of offering to the Tathagata, placed in such a way, planted in a great field of merit, for those, even for a long time, even for hundreds of thousands of billions of kalpas, will not be exhausted. The fruit of all those roots of virtue is Nirvana, and Nirvana will be attained. Ananda, in order to understand the meaning, I have made this example. What is the meaning to be observed in it? Ananda, fish is the secret language of ordinary beings. Water is the secret language of generating roots of virtue towards the Tathagata. Thread is the secret language of the four objects of gathering.

词句啊!所谓“鱼”是指如来(佛)的殊胜词句啊!所谓“活鱼”是指将众生安置于脱离痛苦之果位的殊胜词句啊! 具喜。你也应如此理解这些类别:凡是供养佛陀的,除非证得涅槃,否则无论多久都不会坏灭,不会耗尽,不会终结。 如是等等广说。法王松赞干布所著的《王统世系卡科玛》中也说: 文殊菩萨说: 世尊,现在众生的供养所依是佛陀您自己,圆寂之后该如何是好,请您开示。 世尊开示说: 我的眷属这四众, 现在对我作供养, 未来以信作供养, 对佛像等作供养, 差别丝毫也没有。 福德相同果报同, 这乃佛陀之加持, 凡夫俗子不能知。 是故佛陀未降临, 刹土没有佛像等, 边地野蛮人中无, 教法隐没时亦无, 外道旁生等不见。 是故佛像乃化身。 如是说。 当时,天神梵天、帝释天和遍入天等,建造了代表佛陀法身的佛塔和报身、化身等。与此相同,国王您也建造了一百零八座边地降伏、再度降伏等寺庙,作为众生无上的福田。 出现如此的利益也是非常合理的,因为这位能仁王为了无边无际的众生的利益,完全被大悲心所左右。即使只是难以估量的勇猛之解脱的一小部分,也应深信不疑,并应观看它们。这些类别代表着所有的佛陀及其眷属。 福田身像供养之利益品第二。 色身之水藏,功德之宝珠, 善妙充满,贪欲者我见之。 欢喜!

Words! The term "fish" refers to the sublime words of the Tathagata (Buddha)! The term "living fish" refers to the sublime words that place sentient beings in the fruit of liberation from suffering! Ananda, you should also understand these categories in this way: Whatever is offered to the Buddha will not be destroyed, exhausted, or ended for as long as it does not attain Nirvana. Thus, and so on, it is extensively explained. In the "Royal Lineage Ka Khol Ma" composed by Dharma King Songtsen Gampo, it is also said: Manjushri said: "Bhagavan, now the object of offering for sentient beings is the Buddha himself. After passing into complete Nirvana, what should be done? Please bestow your instructions." The Bhagavan replied: My retinue, these four assemblies, Now make offerings to me, In the future, with faith, Making offerings to images, There is not the slightest difference. Merit is equal, and the ripening is equal, This is the blessing of the Buddha, Ordinary people cannot know. Therefore, where Buddhas have not appeared, In fields where there are no Buddha images, Among barbarians in border regions, there are none, When the teachings are obscured, there are none, Heretics and animals do not see them. Therefore, Buddha images are emanations. Thus he spoke. At that time, the gods Brahma, Indra, and Vishnu, etc., built stupas representing the Dharmakaya of the Buddha, and the Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya, etc. Similarly, the king himself also built one hundred and eight temples such as Border Taming and Re-Taming, etc., as unsurpassed fields of merit for beings. It is very reasonable that such benefits arise, because this Sage King, for the sake of the infinite beings, is completely dominated by great compassion. Even with just a small part of the immeasurable liberation of courage, one should have deep faith and should look at them. These categories represent all the Buddhas and their retinues. The Second Chapter: The Benefits of Offering to the Field of Merit, Body Images. The water treasury of the Rupakaya, filled with the jewel of merit, I, the greedy one, see it well. Joy!
