后来他来了,父亲看见他,就问他。他说了所发生的一切,父亲悲痛地倒下了。他在那里发出各种哀号,焚烧了菩萨的骨头,然后回到了自己的家。那里响起了天乐之声,降下了花雨。 再次,世尊,这位婆罗门青年在云授记经中获得了法的授记。在那之后,他变成了名为百眼美目的帝释天。那时,赡部洲发生了大瘟疫的中劫,出现了各种无法治愈的疾病,如身体上的疮等。在没有救助和庇护的情况下,发出了巨大的声音,向天神、龙等祈祷。帝释天以慈悲之心化现为名为“决定”的众生。声音传来,说:“如果他们取食它的肉,就能从疾病中解脱,所以不要害怕,尽情享用吧。”所有人从那个众生身上切割、取食肉,但它的身体却不见减少或增多。赡部洲的所有人都从各种疾病中解脱出来,获得了安乐。所有人聚集在众生“决定”面前,说道:“您使我们从疾病中解脱出来,我们该如何供养您呢?请您指示。”那个众生隐藏了自己的身体,显现出帝释天的真实形象,说道:“我不需要村庄和城市等。你们要戒除杀生等不善业,那就是对我的供养。”所有人都照那样行善。那个众生所救活的众生,没有一个堕入恶趣,都转生到了三十三天。那些众生都在三乘中成熟。菩萨获得了法身,虽然示现了以调伏不同众生的方式,如幻术般的种种形象,但对他来说,没有心和分别念。在那里,菩萨的法身也被说成是没有变迁和生灭的。 再次,过去有一位名为胜者的人,他精通所有的箭术等学问。他在父亲去世后成为国王,给予所有人想要的东西,并引导他们走上十善之路。

Later, he came, and the father saw him and asked him. He told him everything that had happened, and the father collapsed in grief. There, he uttered various lamentations, burned the bones of the Bodhisattva, and then returned to his own home. There, the sound of heavenly music arose, and a rain of flowers fell. Again, O Blessed One, this young Brahmin received the prophecy of the Dharma in the Cloud Prophecy Sutra. After that, when he became known as Indra with Beautiful Eyes, a great intermediate kalpa of disease arose in this Jambudvipa, and various incurable diseases such as sores on the body appeared. Without protectors or refuge, a great sound arose, and they prayed to gods, nagas, and so on. Indra, with a compassionate heart, transformed into a being called 'Certainty.' A voice arose, saying, 'If they take and eat its flesh, they will be liberated from disease, so do not be afraid, enjoy it!' All the people cut and took flesh from that being, but its body did not appear to diminish or increase. All the people of Jambudvipa were freed from various diseases and established in happiness. All the people gathered before the being 'Certainty' and said, 'You have liberated us from disease, how should we make offerings to you? Please instruct us.' That being hid its own body and showed the actual form of Indra, saying, 'I do not need villages and cities, etc. You should abandon non-virtuous deeds such as killing, and that will be an offering to me.' Everyone then engaged in virtue in that way. Not even one of the beings revived by that being fell into the lower realms, but were born as gods in the Heaven of Thirty-Three. Those beings were matured in the three vehicles. The Bodhisattva, having attained the Dharmakaya, even though he shows the appearance of playing in various forms like illusions, in order to tame different beings, he has no mind or conceptualization. There, it is also said that the Dharmakaya of the Bodhisattva has no change or arising and ceasing. Again, in the past there was a person named Victorious One, who was skilled in all the teachings such as archery. After his father passed away, he became king, giving everyone what they desired and establishing them on the path of the ten virtues.

人们意识到这是天界增长的力量。因陀罗为了考验他,化现索要血肉,他便布施了自己的血肉,最终因陀罗收集了药物,使他的身体恢复如初。༈。又,过去他转世为商人时,布施的名声传遍四方,一位独觉佛到他家乞食。这时,恶魔化现出可怕的景象,即地狱中燃烧的火焰,有七个深不见底的深渊。他的妻子被派去供养食物,却惊恐地返回。这位圣洁的菩萨心想,不能不接受供养就回去,于是亲自拿着美味的食物前去。恶魔装扮成天人的样子,说:“你布施的财物被我听到了,你将在地狱的火焰中待很多年。”以此来阻止他布施。但他回答说:“你为了帮助我而说了这些好话,但我不会改变我的心意。”于是毫不犹豫地走过火坑,那里变成了花园。恶魔感到羞愧。又,过去世,世尊自己转世为名为大力王的国王时,他准备了盛大的祭祀,将食物、衣服、珍宝等所有财物,以及装饰华丽的儿子和女儿等,按照各自的意愿广泛布施。当时,提婆达多转世为天界之主因陀罗,为了阻碍祭祀,化现为一个婆罗门,向国王索要肢体,国王割下肢体布施给他。凭借纯净的意念的力量,他的身体恢复如初。那位天界之主因破坏祭祀的恶念耗尽了福德,堕入无间地狱。༈。又,过去有一位名叫无能胜的商人,他成为了穷人的朋友,给予他们想要的一切,从未担心耗尽。因陀罗为了考验他,使他所有的财富都消失了,只留下了一根绳子和一把镰刀。他看到这种情况,虽然没有其他享受,但他每天用绳子和镰刀卖草的钱来满足穷人。之后,因陀罗让他变得非常贫困。

People realized that it was the power of the growth of the heavenly realm. Indra, in order to test him, manifested and asked for flesh and blood, and he gave his own flesh and blood. Eventually, Indra collected medicines and restored his body to its original state. ༈. Also, in the past, when he was reborn as a merchant, the fame of his generosity spread in all directions, and a Pratyekabuddha went to his house for alms. At that time, the evil demon manifested a terrifying sight, namely the burning flames of hell, with seven bottomless abysses. His wife was sent to offer food, but she returned in terror. This noble Bodhisattva thought, "I cannot return without accepting the alms," and personally took the delicious food and went. The demon, disguised as a celestial being, said, "I have heard of the wealth you have given away, and you will remain in the flames of hell for many years." He tried to dissuade him from giving. But he replied, "You have spoken these good words to help me, but I will not change my mind." Then, without hesitation, he walked through the pit of fire, and it turned into a garden. The demon felt ashamed. Also, in a past life, the Blessed One himself was reborn as a king named Great Strength, he prepared a grand sacrifice, giving away all his wealth, such as food, clothing, jewels, and sons and daughters adorned with ornaments, according to their individual desires. At that time, Devadatta was reborn as Indra, the lord of the gods, and in order to obstruct the sacrifice, he manifested as a Brahmin and asked the king for his limbs, and the king cut off his limbs and gave them to him. By the power of pure intention, his body was restored to its original state. That lord of the gods, with the evil intention of destroying the sacrifice, exhausted his merit and was born in Avici hell. ༈. Also, in the past, there was a merchant named Invincible, who became a friend to the poor, giving them whatever they wanted, never worrying about running out. Indra, in order to test him, made all his wealth disappear, leaving only a rope and a sickle. When he saw this situation, although he had no other enjoyment, he satisfied the poor every day with the money from selling grass with the rope and sickle. Then, Indra made him extremely poor.

即使遇到阻碍也不灰心,看到他喜欢布施,就显现自己的身体,这样说道:‘居士,你对布施非常勇敢,不要执着于仅仅布施这些,这样才能获得财富。’ 他说:‘我即使非常贫穷,也不会做卑劣的事情,如果生起悭吝之心,即使我没有那些财物,看到乞讨者的痛苦,也不能说没有。’ 帝释天说道:‘居士,你还没有成就富裕和圆满的自身利益,就想要布施给他人,这是错误的,暂时停止布施,积攒财富吧!没有财富而布施是不合适的。’ 他说:‘如果我想要自身利益,就应该放弃财富而布施,财富不能成就天界等,而布施可以成就。对于他人的痛苦,我怎么能无动于衷地享受自己的快乐呢?’ 等等这样说,看到他心意不可动摇,帝释天高兴地说:‘你的财物我都隐藏起来了,我来守护,你的财物也不会耗尽,继续布施吧!’ 这样请求宽恕,然后就消失不见了。 ༈ 另外,过去世中,作为国王的女儿,名叫‘能’,在如来宝髻佛的时代,供养灯具,被授记为佛,成佛的时候,也有许多灯供养,等等,像这样,如同《贤愚经》等所说,对许多佛进行侍奉供养。 ༈ 另外,如经中所广说,对无量无数的佛,以无量无边的安乐资具进行侍奉供养。 ༈ 另外,转生为居士‘和合’,在两千位仙人遭遇饥荒的时候,十二年间供养饮食。 ༈ 转生为居士‘持’的时候,在饥荒时期,十二年间供养一千位独觉佛的生活所需。 ༈ 作为普贤天王,为八十万婆罗门铺设金座,用金器盛装能平息各种疾病的如意美食,做了盛大的供养布施。 另外,作为拘萨罗国的主人时,

Even when encountering obstacles, without losing heart, seeing his joy in giving, he manifested his own body and said, 'Householder, you are very brave in giving. Do not be attached to giving only this much, and you will obtain wealth.' He said, 'Even though I am very poor, I cannot do base deeds. If a mind of miserliness arises, even if I do not have those possessions, seeing the suffering of beggars, I cannot say that I do not have them.' Indra said, 'Householder, it is wrong that you desire to give to others without accomplishing your own wealth and perfection. Stop giving for a while and accumulate wealth! Giving without wealth is not appropriate.' He said, 'If I want my own benefit, I should abandon wealth and give. Wealth cannot accomplish heavens, etc., but giving can. How can I indifferently enjoy my own happiness while others suffer?' Saying this and seeing that his mind was unshakeable, Indra rejoiced and said, 'I have hidden all your wealth. I will protect it, and your wealth will not be exhausted. Continue to give!' Having asked for forgiveness, he immediately disappeared. ༈ Furthermore, in a past life, as the king's daughter named 'Thubpa', during the time of the Buddha Ratnachuda, she offered lamps and was prophesied to become a Buddha. When she became a Buddha, many lamps were offered as well. As exemplified by this, and as described in the Sutra of One Hundred Jatakas, she served and honored many Buddhas. ༈ Furthermore, as extensively stated in the sutras, she served and honored countless Buddhas with immeasurable means of happiness. ༈ Furthermore, having been born as the householder 'Dumshe', he provided food and drink for twelve years when two thousand hermits faced famine. ༈ When he was born as the householder 'Zungje', he provided sustenance for twelve years to a thousand Pratyekabuddhas during a famine. ༈ As King Purbu's God, he spread golden seats for eighty thousand Brahmins for a thousand years and offered a great feast with food that pacified various diseases from golden vessels, according to their wishes. Also, when he became the lord of the Kosala people,

因为成为了奴隶,用一份热饭供养了四众僧团,回忆起现在获得了巨大的国王财富的情形,说了这只是以前布施的幼苗一样的偈颂,以及布施等做了巨大福德的情形在《本生经》第三十四品中说了。 ༈ 。在变成青年贤财的时候,为了天女迷恋者,以巨大的精进去了天人的国王处,把迷恋者带回来,十二年中做了没有间断的供养等,菩萨的布施传记无数,其中稍微一点在经部中开示的,在这里只说一部分。而且经中说:以前菩萨行持的时候,对自己的身体都没有执着,何况是财产呢?对于受用的事物,没有这是我的的想法。这些事物和一切众生共同拥有,就像我对此有份一样,一切众生也都有份这样想。即使接近了佛法,也不想我对此有份。只是想这些受用是一切众生的,我对此没有任何份。即使获得了接近佛法的机会,也没有对此执着。不完全收集和拿取,因此没有接受,而是喜欢空性的法和接近寂静的法。不接受,也不喜欢事物的法和本来就存在。就像这样说了。 ༈ 。又以前国王名为殊陀罗卡,统治着八万四千个小国的时候。赡部洲不降雨,十二年中发生了饥荒,大部分人都去世了。那个国王发愿后从悬崖上舍弃了身体。转生为一条身体五百由旬的巨大化生鱼。那条鱼用人语说你们如果饥饿就取我的肉吧,这样宣告后,所有人都割肉来吃,肉又重新生长出来,十二年中没有穷尽,让所有人都满足了。吃了肉的所有人都转生到了天界。 ༈ 。又在以前国王

Having become a slave, he offered a portion of warm food to the fourfold Sangha, and recalling how he now obtained great royal wealth, he spoke verses saying that this was just a sprout of that former generosity, and the circumstances of making great merit such as generosity are spoken of in the thirty-fourth chapter of the Jataka. ༈ When he became the youth Sudhana, for the sake of the Kinnari maiden Yid-'phrog-ma, he went with great diligence to the place of the Kinnara king, brought back Yid-'phrog-ma, and made uninterrupted offerings for twelve years, etc. The stories of the Bodhisattva's generosity are countless, but a little of what is taught in the Sutras is mentioned here in part. Moreover, the Sutra says: "When Bodhisattvas practiced in the past, they had no attachment to their own bodies, let alone wealth. They have no concept that these objects of enjoyment are mine. These things are common to all sentient beings. Just as I have a share in this, so do all sentient beings," and even if they are close to the Dharma of the Buddhas, they do not think that they have a share in it. They only think that these enjoyments belong to all sentient beings, and that they have no share in it. Even if they obtain the opportunity to be close to the Dharma of the Buddhas, they have no attachment to it. They do not completely collect and take, so they do not accept, but they are devoted to the Dharma of emptiness and the Dharma of peace. They do not accept, nor do they like the Dharma of things and what has always existed. As it was said. ༈ Again, when the former king named Shuddolaka ruled over eighty-four thousand small kingdoms. Because it did not rain in Jambudvipa, there was a famine for twelve years, and most people died. After that king made a vow, he abandoned his body from a cliff. He was reborn as a great miraculously born fish with a body of five hundred yojanas. That fish said in human language, "If you are hungry, take my flesh," and after proclaiming this, everyone cut and ate the flesh, and the flesh grew back again, and it did not run out for twelve years, and everyone was satisfied. All who ate the flesh were born in the heavens. ༈ Again, in the past, a king
