给予五个最好的城镇,被尊为地方的首领。那些感到惊讶的人们对那个人说,据说国王希毗迦为你提供了款待,是真的吗?那人说,他为我做了什么?无论是把坏血洒在地上还是给别人,有什么可奇怪的?刚说完,他的房子就着火了,一切都被烧毁了。又,希毗迦国王变成了一个年轻的王子,他的一半身体都干枯了。医生们对年轻王子的父亲说,如果把香香鸟的肉的全部精华用酥油浸泡后给他吃,他就能活下去。虽然收集了全部精华,但十二年来都没有找到香香鸟的肉。医生们吩咐那些做事的人,拿着镜子和鸟去海边追赶。在那里插上木桩,把镜子放在鸟鸦面前,鸟鸦看到自己的影像,心想这是鸟鸦,就会发出叫声。香香鸟听到鸟鸦的叫声,就会来到它那里,抓住它的方法就是这样。按照他们所说的做了,抓住了一只香香鸟。世界形成后不久,由于自然规律,动物们也能说人话,所以那只香香鸟说,你们要把我带到哪里去?那些人说了事情的经过。它说,放了我,放了我!我会说出具有肉的效力的药物和珍宝。那些人说,先让我们看看你的药是什么样的。它说,我洗澡的水具有肉的效力,拿去用吧。这些是珍宝,虽然它这样指示,但国王因为害怕而丢弃了珍宝,带着香香鸟献给了国王,并如实地说了事情的经过。国王问那只香香鸟,神啊,我洗澡的水具有增强肉体的力量。然后,国王把七个装满好水的水器放在那里,直到那只鸟洗完澡休息好,立刻飞到房顶上,无所畏惧地说,首先我是个傻瓜,然后才有了这些事。然后国王是个傻瓜,傻瓜的中间

Having given five excellent towns, he was honored as the chief of the land. The people who were amazed at that said to that man, "Is it true that King Shibi has provided hospitality to you?" That man said, "What has he done for me? Whether bad blood is spilled on the ground or given to others, what is so amazing?" As soon as he said that, his house caught fire and everything was burned down. Furthermore, the young son of King Shibi became a young prince, and half of his body became dry. The doctors said to the young prince's father, the king, "If you soak all the essence of the flesh of the shangshang bird in butter and give it to him, he will live." Although all the essence was collected, the flesh of the shangshang bird was not found for twelve years. The doctors instructed those who were doing the work, "Take a mirror and a bird and chase it to the seashore. There, plant a stake and place the mirror in front of the crow. When the crow sees its own image, thinking it is a crow, it will make a sound. When the shangshang bird hears the crow's sound, it will come to it, and that is the way to catch it." They did as they said and caught a shangshang bird. Not long after the world was formed, due to natural law, animals could also speak human language, so that shangshang bird said, "Where are you taking me?" Those people told what had happened. It said, "Release me, release me! I will tell you about the medicine and jewels that have the power of flesh." Those people said, "Let us see what your medicine is like." It said, "The water I have bathed in has the power of flesh, take it and use it. These are the jewels," although it indicated this, the king, fearing, abandoned the jewels, took the shangshang bird and offered it to the king, and told the story as it had happened. The king asked the shangshang bird, "O god, the water I have bathed in has the power to strengthen the flesh." Then, the king placed seven water vessels filled with good water there, until the bird bathed and rested, and immediately flew to the top of the house, fearless, and said, "For a while, I was a fool at first, and then these things happened. Then the king is a fool, in the middle of fools."

说“愿轮圆满”,然后离开了。过了一段时间,在雪山的缝隙中有五百位独觉佛居住,其中一位身体一半干枯了,那些独觉佛说:“有寿命者,你去村庄,寻求医生治疗,就能痊愈。” 他说:“众人不喜爱的,不悦意的法,以及一切众生共同的法,即死亡,如果它到来,带着疾病把我带走,我为何要去村庄?” 他们说:“即使如此,有德行的人活多久,就积累多少功德;积累多少功德,就能在天界快乐。” 劝说后,他下到村庄,逐渐到达希毗国扬国王的王宫,对医生说:“请告诉我能治疗这种疾病的药。” 医生说:“圣者,您的疾病和国王儿子的疾病一样。用十二年的精华熬制成的酥油,请您去乞讨。如果得到,就能活下去。” 在国王王宫的门口,如果有人来乞讨,就会悬挂铃铛以示召唤。那位独觉佛走到王宫门口,摇响了铃铛。然后王子对父母说:“父王母后,有乞讨者,请问他要乞讨什么?” 父母说:“孩子,我们已经用十二年的时间积累了各种材料,熬制成了精华,你喝下它,然后把外面的乞讨者叫进来,问他要乞讨什么。” 他觉得这很神奇、吉祥、美好,想要喝下酥油时,因为心中想着乞讨者的希望,击中要害,所以没有喝,而是说:“父王母后,暂时不要把乞讨者叫进来。” 国王吩咐守门人把乞讨者放进来,王子问:“圣者,您想要什么?” 他详细地说了。王子说:“圣者,这精华只适合您,不适合我,请您接受。” 他拿着钵,以强烈的喜悦之情将精华倒入钵中。那位大士也因为王子生起了利益一切众生的心

Saying, "May the wheel be perfectly complete," he departed. After some time, in the crevices of the snow mountains, there lived five hundred Pratyekabuddhas. One of them became half withered. Those Pratyekabuddhas said, "O long-lived one, go to the village, seek a doctor, and you will recover." He said, "The dharma that many people dislike and find unpleasant, and the dharma common to all sentient beings, which is called death, if it comes and carries me away with illness, why should I go to the village?" They said, "Even so, as long as a virtuous person lives, they accumulate merit; the more merit they accumulate, the more they will rejoice in the heavens." Having encouraged him, he descended to the village and gradually arrived at the palace of King Sibi's Yang in the country. He said to the doctor, "Please tell me a medicine that can cure this disease." The doctor said, "O noble one, your disease is the same as that of the king's son. The essence of twelve years, all boiled with butter, is available. Go and beg for it. If you obtain it, you will live." At the gate of that royal palace, if beggars appeared, a bell would be hung to summon them. That Pratyekabuddha went to the palace gate and rang the bell. Then the prince said to his parents, "Father and Mother, there is a beggar. Please ask what he is begging for." The two said, "Child, we have accumulated materials for twelve years and made an essence by boiling them. Drink this, and then call the beggar inside and ask what he is begging for." He thought it was wonderful, auspicious, and fortunate. When he wanted to drink the butter, because he cherished the hope of the beggar in his heart, it struck the point, so he did not drink it, but said, "Father and Mother, do not call the beggar in yet." The king instructed the gatekeeper to let the beggar in, and the prince asked, "O noble one, what do you desire?" He explained in detail. The prince said, "O noble one, this essence is only suitable for you, not for me, please accept it." He took the bowl and, with a strong feeling of joy, poured the essence into it. That great being also, because the prince generated the mind to benefit all sentient beings,

并且,那位圣者也因具足戒律而使愿望得以实现,因此,发愿后,王子和独觉佛二者都从疾病中解脱了。关于国王狮子之子名为利他的故事,也与此相似,但也有稍微不同的差别。 以前,在波罗奈斯,有一位名叫梵施的国王,他心地慈悲,听到自己的五百位大臣各自诽谤国王的传言后,国王心想,把这些人杀了怎么样呢?但他以慈悲之心没有杀他们,而是将他们驱逐出境,让他们去了一个荒岛。他们因口渴而感到危险,但没有看到水,于是发出了呼喊声。这时,世尊自己化身为一头殊胜的大象菩萨,看到了他们,便用鼻子装满水,跑过去给那些大臣们漱口,让他们骑在自己的背上,将他们送到山谷中,用流水、果实和树根让他们饱腹,然后说道:这座山的对面有一头大象首领的尸体,把它的肠胃洗干净,装满水,收集树根和果实,装满它,这样就能越过这片荒野了。说完,那头大象爬上了那座山,心想,正如我指出了拯救这些受苦之人的方法并献出自己的生命一样,愿我成佛后,也能将这些人从轮回的荒野中解脱出来。说完,便从那座山上跳了下去,死了。大臣们寻找时,看到了它,说道:如果昨天赐予我们生命的象就是这头象,那么我们把手放在它身上,我们的手为什么不会掉到地上呢?这时,净居天的天神说道:愿这位大士为了谁而献出生命的心愿圆满实现。之后,他们清洗了那头象的肠胃,装满了水,带走了树根和果实。用那头象的尸体做了供养,穿过了荒野,并发愿说:愿这位大士成佛之时,能将我们从轮回中解脱出来。 以前,在过去的时代,在波罗奈斯城,世尊自己转生为莲花国王,利益一切众生。

And, that noble one, because of being endowed with morality, his aspiration would be fulfilled, therefore, having made the aspiration, both the prince and the solitary buddha were liberated from illness. The story of the king's son named Benefitting Others is similar to this, but there is also a slight difference. Formerly, in Varanasi, there was a king named Brahma-given, who was compassionate. Having heard the rumors that his five hundred ministers were each slandering the king, the king thought, 'What if I kill these people?' But with a compassionate mind, he did not kill them, but expelled them from the country and sent them to a desert island. They were in danger of thirst, but did not see water, and cried out. At that time, the Blessed One himself, having become a supreme bodhisattva elephant, saw them, filled his trunk with water, ran and rinsed the mouths of those ministers, had them ride on his back, and led them to a mountain valley, satisfying them with flowing water, fruits, and roots, and said: 'Beyond this mountain is the corpse of a chief elephant. Wash its intestines and stomach, fill it with water, collect roots and fruits, and fill it, and in that way you will cross this wilderness.' Having shown this, that elephant climbed that mountain, thinking, 'Just as I have shown the way to save these afflicted ones and given my life, may I, having become a buddha, liberate these ones from the wilderness of samsara.' Having said this, he jumped from the top of that mountain and died. When the ministers searched, they saw it and said: 'If the elephant who gave us life yesterday is this one, then if we put our hands on it, why wouldn't our hands fall to the ground?' At that time, the gods of the Pure Abode said: 'May the wish in the mind of this great being, for whose sake he gave his life, be completely fulfilled.' Then, they washed the intestines and stomach of that elephant, filled it with water, and took the roots and fruits. They made offerings to the corpse of that elephant, crossed the wilderness, and made the aspiration: 'May this great being liberate us from samsara when he becomes a buddha.' Formerly, in a past age, in the city of Varanasi, the Blessed One himself took birth as King Padma, benefiting all sentient beings.

像对待唯一的孩子一样慈爱地养育,并让他参与布施和大布施。当时,由于时令不调,发生了大的人类疾病,众生被麻风病侵袭。国王生起慈悲心,召集所有医生用药物治疗,但长期未能治愈这些众生。医生们说:“有一种药,如果能找到叫作鱼罗希特的鱼,就能治愈,否则任何其他方法都无法治愈。”国王四处寻找鱼罗希特,但没有找到。后来,国王外出巡视时,那些病人聚集起来对国王说:“请您从这种疾病中拯救我们,赐予我们生命。”国王对他们生起慈悲心,流着眼泪说:“如果我不能平息他人被痛苦折磨的痛苦,那么这生活和王位的权力有什么用呢?”他将大量的财富全部布施出去,让长子继承王位,向亲属和民众忏悔罪过,用欢快的赞歌赞美宫廷的人和大臣,安慰痛苦的病人。他安住于八支斋戒,登上宫殿的顶端,撒下鲜花和焚香等,面向东方祈祷说:“以真谛和真谛之语,我看到极度贫困的众生被疾病折磨,我放弃了自己的生命,愿我在此吞河之水中转生为鱼罗希特。”说完,他从宫殿的顶端跳了下去。当他落下的那一刻,就死了,并转生到吞河之水中成为鱼罗希特。在那里,诸神向各地宣告:“这条转生于吞河之水的鱼罗希特,就像长期被重病折磨的人们的甘露。”听到这个消息后,人们立刻拿着武器和工具,开始切割那条活鱼的肉。当菩萨那样切割身体时,他用慈爱遍布那些众生,脸上流淌着温暖的眼泪,心想:“我的血肉能让这些众生快乐,这是很好的收获。”就这样,十二年间,他一直布施自己的血肉。

He cherished him with love like an only child, and made him engage in giving and great giving. At that time, due to the imbalance of the seasons, a great human disease occurred, and sentient beings were afflicted with leprosy. The king generated compassion and gathered all the doctors and treated them with medicine, but for a long time he could not heal those sentient beings. The doctors said, "There is one medicine, if we can find the fish called Rohita fish, we can heal them, otherwise nothing else can heal them." The king searched everywhere for the Rohita fish, but could not find it. Later, when the king went out for a walk, those patients gathered and said to the king, "Please save us from this disease and grant us life." The king generated compassion for them, and with tears streaming down his face, he said, "If I cannot pacify the suffering of others tormented by suffering, then what is the use of this life and the power of the kingdom?" He gave away all the great wealth, installed his eldest son as king, confessed his sins to relatives and people, praised the people of the palace and ministers with joyful songs, and comforted the suffering patients. He stayed in the eight-limbed vows, went to the top of the palace, scattered flowers and incense, etc., and faced east and prayed, "By the truth and the words of truth, seeing the extremely poor sentient beings tormented by disease, I give up my life, may I be born as a Rohita fish in this river-swallowing water." Having said this, he jumped from the top of the palace. At the moment he fell, he died and was born as a Rohita fish in the river-swallowing water. There, the gods proclaimed everywhere, "This Rohita fish born in the river-swallowing water is like nectar for those who have been tormented by serious diseases for a long time." As soon as they heard this news, people immediately took up weapons and tools and began to cut the flesh of that live fish. When the Bodhisattva was cutting his body in this way, he pervaded those sentient beings with love, and warm tears flowed down his face, thinking, "My flesh and blood can make these sentient beings happy, this is a good gain." In this way, for twelve years, he continued to give his flesh and blood.
