以使那些众生感到满足,并且不从无上圆满菩提中退转。当所有那些众生的疾病都痊愈的时候,那条鱼罗希达宣称:‘喂,众生们,你们听着!我就是名为莲花之王的那位。为了你们的利益,我完全舍弃了自己的生命,获得了这样的身体。所以,请你们对我感到高兴吧!当我获得无上圆满菩提的时候,我也会让你们永远从疾病中解脱出来,并且安置在超越痛苦的涅槃以及其他任何究竟的成就和安乐之中。’他这样说道。听到这些话后,那些民众以及国王大臣眷属们用鲜花等供养,并且祈愿道:‘您行持如此艰难之事,当您成佛的时候,愿我们成为您的声闻弟子。’他们这样祈愿道。༈ 再次,在过去的时候,世尊自己曾是瓦拉纳西城中的国王,名为梵天赐予,他如法地治理国家,富裕而安乐,没有疾病、饥荒和内乱等。那位国王也喜爱佛法,具有伟大的慈悲心,安住于布施之中。在那里,在后来的某个时期,发生了如同中间劫一样的大饥荒,人们变得像饿鬼一样,向国王寻求庇护。国王衡量了国库中所有的食物和饮料,精通计算的人计算后,决定每天给每个人一小口食物,而国王自己则吃两小口。在那里,来了一位不在计算之内的婆罗门。国王从自己的两小口食物中分出一口给他,使得国王和所有国民每天都只吃一小口食物。那时,天界的主人心想:‘我应该考验一下这位如此行持艰难之事的国王。’于是他化作婆罗门的模样。当他来到国王面前时,请求国王将他仅有的一小口食物赐予自己。国王完全舍弃了自己的生命,将那一小口食物给了婆罗门。就这样,从一天到六天断食,但当他看到其他人吃到食物时,他感到非常高兴。天界的主人看到国王如此行持艰难之事,便显现了自己的身形,说道:‘因为有这样守护众生的人,所以众生才是有怙主的。

Having satisfied those beings, he did not turn his mind away from unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. When all those beings were healed of their illnesses, that fish Rohita proclaimed: 'Hey, beings, listen! I am the one called King Padma. For your sake, I have completely given up my life and taken such a body. So, please be happy with me! When I attain unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, I will also liberate you forever from disease, and establish you in the ultimate achievement and happiness of nirvana beyond sorrow.' Thus he spoke. Having heard those words, those crowds of people and the king's ministers and retinue made offerings with flowers and so on, and prayed: 'You who do such difficult things, when you become enlightened, may we become your Shravaka disciples.' Thus they prayed. ༈ Again, in the past, the Blessed One himself was a king in the city of Varanasi, named Brahma-given, who ruled the kingdom according to Dharma, prosperous and happy, without disease, famine, or internal strife. That king also loved the Dharma, had great compassion, and dwelt in generosity. There, at a later time, a great famine occurred like an intermediate kalpa, and the people became like hungry ghosts and sought refuge in the king. The king measured all the food and drink in the treasury, and the experts calculated that everyone should be given one mouthful each day, and the king himself should be given two mouthfuls. There, a Brahmin who was not included in the calculation arrived. The king gave him one of his two mouthfuls, so that the king and all the people of the country ate only one mouthful each day. At that time, the lord of the gods thought, 'I should test this king who is doing such difficult things.' So he transformed himself into the guise of a Brahmin. When he came to the king, he asked the king to give him his only mouthful of food. The king completely gave up his life and gave the one mouthful to the Brahmin. Thus, from one day to six days he cut off food, but when he saw other people eating food, he was very happy. The lord of the gods, seeing the king doing such difficult things, revealed his form and said, 'Because there is such a protector of beings, beings have a protector.'

好啊!你的辛劳使我满意。现在去所有地方宣告,要获得所有种子。我将在七天内降下能使谷物生长的强大雨水。正如所说的那样,雨降下来了,没有饥荒,年成好,变得安乐了。 再次,世尊自己转世为名为寂静的国王,以大慈悲开始布施一切。在供养的殿堂里,给予食物、饮料、衣服和珍宝等一切所需之物。对于王妃的眷属、儿子们、大臣和地方的人民,也给予一切所需之物,但仍不满足于福德,心想:我已使人们满足,但剩下的微小生物该如何使它们满足呢?于是,舍弃了自己拥有的一切,只剩下一件衣服,心想布施自己的身体,便剖开身体,将肉丢在苍蝇等存在的地方,坐在那里用血使它们满足。 为了考验他,帝释天化作一只黑色的秃鹫,想要啄他的眼睛。国王毫不畏惧地说:从我的身体里拿走你想要的一切吧。 然后,帝释天以婆罗门的身形索要眼睛。国王肯定地说:我的身体没有任何阻碍,拿走吧。于是帝释天显现出自己的身形,赞颂并赞叹他。 再次,在过去,世尊自己在一个名为莲花宫殿的国王住所的方向,在一个名为具相女的城市首领的妻子那里转生,她如同天女一般,那时她致力于利益他人。 有一次,那个地方没有下雨,土地变得干燥,发生了巨大的饥荒危险,众生非常痛苦。在那里,她看到一个贫穷的妇女,生了一个非常瘦弱的孩子,因极度饥饿而想要吃掉自己的孩子。 她对她说:姐妹,你做着非常可怕的事情啊。那个妇女心想:这是一个具有布施本性的人。便如实说了自己的处境,说想要吃掉孩子。她非常怜悯,流着眼泪,说着不应该吃孩子的言语,但那妇女说:我因饥饿而无法忍受啊。相

Excellent! I am pleased with your efforts. Now, proclaim in all places to obtain all seeds. I shall cause a great rain to fall within seven days, such that the grains will flourish. As it was said, the rain fell, and there was no famine, the year was good, and it became peaceful. Again, the Blessed One himself was reborn as a king named Peaceful, and with great compassion, he began to give away everything. In the hall of offerings, he gave food, drink, clothes, jewels, and whatever was desired. To the queen's entourage, his sons, ministers, and the people of the land, he also gave whatever they desired, but he was not satisfied with the merit, thinking: I have satisfied the people, but how shall I satisfy the remaining tiny creatures? So, he gave away everything he owned, leaving only one garment, and thinking to give his own body, he cut open his body and threw the flesh where flies and other creatures were, and sat there, satisfying them with blood. To test him, Indra transformed into a black vulture, intending to peck out his eyes. The king, without fear, said: Take whatever you desire from my body. Then, Indra, in the form of a Brahmin, asked for his eyes. The king affirmed: There is no obstruction to my body, take it. Then Indra revealed his own form and praised and extolled him. Again, in the past, the Blessed One himself, in the direction of a king's palace called Lotus Palace, was born to a city leader's wife named Endowed with Form, who was like a goddess. At that time, she was devoted to benefiting others. Once, in that land, there was no rain, and the land became dry, causing a great danger of famine, and sentient beings were very distressed. There, she saw a poor woman who had given birth to a very emaciated child, who, due to extreme hunger, wanted to eat her own child. She said to her: Sister, are you doing a very terrible thing? The woman thought: This is someone with a giving nature. She truthfully explained her situation, saying that she wanted to eat her child. She felt very compassionate, shedding tears, and spoke words that one should not eat a child, but the woman said: I cannot bear it because of hunger. Form

具色母心想:如果回家给她食物,她会因饥饿而在此期间吃掉孩子。如果我带着这个孩子走,他也可能因饥饿而死。她这样想着,为了从自己的身体中取出慈悲,心想不如把血肉施舍给她。于是,那位妇女对具色母说:你在这里待着,我不好意思在你面前吃孩子,你走吧。具色母说:你若有少许刀,给我一下。她给了刀,具色母割下自己如同金瓶般的双乳,给了她,然后回了自己的家。她的丈夫看到她的身体和珍珠项链等沾满了血,便从座位上站起来,问道:为何割乳?她便讲述了事情的经过,说:应该给那位受饥饿威胁的妇女食物。丈夫也同意了。就这样,具色母的奇事被众人传颂。丈夫心想:像她这样出生的人,其他人也无法做到这样的布施,因此,以真谛之力,愿她的乳房恢复如初。话音刚落,她的乳房便恢复如初。之后,天神之主想要把这位布施胜过世间一切的具色母带到天神的城市,并亲自占有她,于是化身为一个显而易见的婆罗门形象,以乞讨的姿态来到了具色母的家中。她拿着美味的食物,天神之主说:你布施乳房的美名传遍世间,以这样的苦行,还追求天神之主的位置等什么呢?她说:我想要无上菩提,以这句真诚之语,愿我变成男子。话音刚落,她就变成了男子的身体,百神之主回到了自己的住所。在那里,她被称为菩萨具色。那个国家的国王去世后没有儿子,大臣们商议说:这位年轻的具色拥有国王的所有特征,应该为他举行灌顶,让他成为国王。于是,他便成为了国王。他以正法治理天下,使众生安乐。

The woman with form thought: 'If I go home and get food, she will eat the child in the meantime because of hunger. If I take this child away, he might die of hunger.' Thinking this, in order to extract compassion from her own body, she thought, 'I will give her flesh and blood.' Then, that woman said to the woman with form, 'You stay here, I am embarrassed to eat the child in front of you, go away.' The woman with form said, 'If you have a little knife, give it to me.' She gave the knife, and the woman with form cut off her two breasts, which were like golden vases, gave them to her, and then went back to her own house. Her husband saw that her body and pearl necklace, etc., were covered with blood, and he stood up from his seat and asked, 'Why did you cut off your breasts?' She then told him what had happened, saying, 'It is appropriate to give food to that woman who is threatened by hunger.' Her husband also agreed. In this way, the wonders of the woman with form were talked about by the crowd. The husband thought, 'Since others cannot do such a donation as this one who was born like her, by the power of truth, may her breasts be restored to their former state.' As soon as he spoke, her breasts were restored to their former state. After that, the lord of the gods wanted to take this woman with form, whose giving was superior to all in the world, to the city of the gods and possess her himself, so he transformed himself into the form of an obvious Brahmin and went to the house of the woman with form in the guise of begging. She took good food, and the lord of the gods said, 'Since the fame of your giving away your breasts has spread throughout the world, what do you seek with such hardship as the position of the lord of the gods, etc.?' She said, 'I want unsurpassed enlightenment, by this true word, may I become a man.' As soon as she spoke, she became a male body, and the hundred-fold lord went back to his own abode. There, she was known as the Bodhisattva Woman with Form. When the king of that country died without a son, the ministers and others consulted and said, 'This young man with form has all the characteristics of a king, so we should consecrate him as king.' So, he became king. He ruled the whole land with dharma and justice, and made all beings happy.

当降雨等时节运行良好,一切都繁荣昌盛时,统治者坐在狮子座上,对所有人说,我所做的布施的成熟,使我今生获得了事物,这只像花朵一样。来世,将会有伟大的果实,佛陀将会出现,谁不会尊敬戒律和布施的功德呢?通过宣讲佛法,他引导众生走上善道。༈。此外,在过去,当他转世为像财神一样的伟大的商人家族,名为月光时,他做了大量的布施。从有功德的上师那里,他学习了所有的论典和诗歌,因此,他博学的名声的光芒传遍四方。他的五百名上师眷属对他说:你非常慈悲,即使有人来乞求你的生命,你也会施舍的,是吗?他回答说:乞讨者对施舍者有特殊的利益,为什么我不慈悲呢?我是慈悲的。他们说:如果你这样布施,你想要统治者和转轮王等什么呢?他说:我不想要轮回中不稳定的快乐,为了拯救一切众生,我想要无上的菩提。他们听后高兴地离开了。有一次,那位伟人想:我应该为乞丐们做些事情,现在我应该用自己的血肉来满足动物们。于是他拿了武器、蜂蜜和酥油,没有告诉亲戚们,在夜晚去了墓地,检查了尸体堆,摆脱了执着,用锋利的武器砍下自己的所有肢体,涂上蜂蜜和酥油,让它们滴落下来,让蚂蚁和昆虫吃。这时,一只凶猛的鸟啄了他的眼睛,然后对他说:眼睛被挖出来,你感到很痛苦吗?菩萨回答说:如果我把身体布施给不需要的人,我会感到痛苦。但如果我把它布施给需要的人,我为什么会感到痛苦呢?我感到非常高兴。然后,鸟儿们吃光了他的肉,只剩下骨头。第二天早上,亲戚们聚集

When the seasons run well with rain and everything prospers, the ruler sits on the lion throne and says to all beings, "The ripening of my giving has resulted in obtaining things in this life, which is just like a flower. In the next life, there will be a great fruit, a Buddha will appear, so who would not respect the merit of discipline and giving?" By teaching the Dharma, he placed beings on the path of virtue. ༈. Furthermore, in a previous life, when he became a great merchant family like Vaishravana, named Moonlight, he made great offerings. From virtuous lamas, he learned all the treatises and poetry, so the rays of his fame as a scholar spread everywhere. The five hundred members of his own lama's retinue said, "You are very loving, so if someone comes to ask for your life, you will give it, won't you?" He replied, "The beggar bestows a special benefit on the giver, so why would I not be loving? I am loving." They said, "If you give like that, what do you want, such as dominion and a wheel-turning monarch?" He said, "I do not want the unstable happiness of samsara, but for the sake of liberating all sentient beings, I want unsurpassed enlightenment." They went away rejoicing. Once, that great being thought, "I have done things for the sake of beggars, now I will satisfy the animals with my own flesh and blood." So he took weapons, honey, and butter, and without telling his relatives, he went to the charnel ground at night, examined the piles of corpses, freed himself from attachment, and cut off all his limbs with sharp weapons, smeared them with honey and butter, let them drip, and let the ants and insects eat them. Then a fierce bird pecked out his eyes and said to him again, "Do you experience great suffering from having your eyes gouged out?" The Bodhisattva replied, "If I give my body to someone who does not need it, I will suffer. But if I give it to someone who needs it, why should I suffer? I experience great joy." Then the birds ate all his flesh and only the bones remained. The next morning, a gathering of relatives
