Then, (the king) said: In my country, all the numerous beings dwell knowing that they do not harm each other. The gods send down rain in due season, causing the plants and crops to flourish. I think that this must be the power of my ruling the kingdom according to Dharma. If the queen and the people of the town think it is their own power, then whose power is it? The hermit said: This is not the power of you, the king, nor the power of the queen and the young people, but because there are four kinds of beings in your country, it is their power. The king said: I would like to see those (beings). The hermit said: What is the use of seeing those? You should practice what they have correctly taken and practiced. (The king asked:) What is that? (The hermit replied:) It is the five foundations of vows. (The king asked:) What are those? (The hermit replied:) It is the teaching of the five vows, such as abstaining from killing. After that, the king thought: I should take the five foundations of vows. After practicing in this way, from the queen and the young people onwards, all the people of the country took the five foundations of vows. King Tsangjin, hearing that his retinue had taken the five foundations of vows, all the kings of the border states did the same. Therefore, almost all the people of Jambudvipa took the five foundations of vows. There, the people of Jambudvipa, at the time of their death, were reborn in the Thirty-three Heavens. At that time, Indra, the lord of the gods, said to the retinue of the gods: "With reverence and respect, The ascetic practices of the one dwelling in the grove of austerities, The noble burnt offering, the conduct of Brahma, Are widely proclaimed in each world." The Blessed One himself, when he became a Bodhisattva, became the noble burnt offering at that time. (The Buddha said) The rabbit was the monk Shariputra, the monkey was the son of Maudgalyayana, and the elephant was Ananda. Even when the Bodhisattva is born in the animal realm, he abides in the precepts of morality for himself and others, what need is there to mention when he is born as a god or a human? Also, in the past, when Indra was born, a great army of Asuras came and when the gods fought with them, the gods were defeated, and on the way back, (they saw) the trees, the Shala trees...

当老鹰的巢穴被马车的车辕顶端撞到，小鸟们快要掉下来时，帝释天对车夫玛达利说：“不要碰到这些还没长大的小鸟，把车开过去。”车夫说：“因为阿修罗的军队在后面追赶，我无能为力啊。”帝释天说：“即使自己死了也行，这些因恐惧而面临危险的小鸟不能杀，把车掉头。”当他把车掉头的时候，阿修罗们因为害怕而逃散了。 又，过去世，世尊投生为一个婆罗门大家族的儿子，从一位博学多才的大臣那里学习吠陀，变得聪明而清晰，并且具备了恭敬等优良品质，因此，上师特别喜爱他。当时，那位堪布为了考察学生们的品行，在做火供的时候，总是讲述自己贫困的痛苦。学生们因为爱戴堪布，化缘了很多食物供养他。堪布说：“你们化缘这么辛苦有什么用？如果想救我，就去挣钱。”他们说：“我们福报浅薄，除了这个什么也做不了，布施的人很少，而且婆罗门挣钱的方法也很少。”堪布说：“婆罗门挣钱的方法经典里有，但我老了，没有力气做不了。”学生们说：“如果我们可以做到，请您说出来，我们会报答您的法恩。”堪布说：“其他人，那些不愿努力的人很难做到，如果你们坚持想做，那么挣钱的方法是这样的：婆罗门衰败时，偷盗被说成是正法。世间上，没有钱是最糟糕的衰败。因此，拿走没有被看到的其他人的财物吧。这些都是婆罗门的财物。即使能够明目张胆地抢夺财物，也必须保护我的名声。”这样说完，那些学生们没有仔细思考就听从了，说会那样做。菩萨本性善良，认为那些话是不合理的，于是拒绝了。

When the eagle's nest was hit by the tip of the chariot's yoke, and the chicks were about to fall, Indra said to the charioteer Matali, "Do not hit these unfledged chicks, drive the chariot away." The charioteer said, "Because the army of Asuras is following behind, I am unable to do anything." Indra said, "Even if I die, it is better. These chicks who are in danger of being killed by fear must not be killed, turn the chariot back." As soon as he turned the chariot back, the Asuras were frightened and scattered. Moreover, in a past time, the Bhagavan was born as the son of a great Brahmin family, and from a minister who was learned and virtuous, he learned the Vedas, becoming wise and clear, and possessing qualities such as respect, he was especially loved by his teacher. At that time, in order to test the conduct of the students, the Khenpo always spoke of the suffering of his own poverty when performing the burnt offering. The students, out of love for the Khenpo, collected many alms and offered them to him. The Khenpo said, "What is the use of your laboring to collect alms? If you want to save me, then earn wealth." They said, "We have little merit, and we cannot do anything more than this. There are few people who give, and Brahmins have few ways to earn wealth." The Khenpo said, "There are ways for Brahmins to earn wealth that come from the scriptures, but I am old and powerless, so I cannot do it." The students said, "If we can do it, please tell us, and we will repay the kindness of the Dharma." The Khenpo said, "It is difficult for others, those who are unwilling to strive, to do it, but if you insist on wanting to do it, then the method of earning wealth is this: When a Brahmin is in decline, stealing is said to be Dharma. In the world, having no money is the worst decline. Therefore, take the wealth of others that is not seen. All of these are the wealth of Brahmins. Even if you are able to openly rob wealth, you must protect my reputation." Having said this, those students listened without carefully considering, saying that they would do so. The Bodhisattva, being virtuous by nature, saw that those words were unreasonable and refused.

因寒冷而低下头，什么也不说。堪布看到后心想，这个人一定有什么优点。又想，这是因为他不能偷盗，不爱辛苦，还是因为有正法之念而不做盗贼呢？于是对他说：这些婆罗门不能忍受我衰败，所以生起了坚强之心。难道你不爱我吗？不能偷盗吗？为什么一言不发？菩萨回答说：我不是不爱堪布，也不是心硬，没有被上师的痛苦所折磨。而是因为堪布所教的这种学问是不可能的，所以我对此没有兴趣。为什么呢？因为像这样谁也看不到，可以行恶的隐蔽之处是不存在的。无论如何，众生、天神和佛陀都不可能看不到。孩子们认为自己所做的事别人不知道而作恶是愚蠢的。明明自己亲眼看到自己作恶，却说谁也看不到是不可能的，因为自己亲眼看到了。因此，没有罪恶是不可能的。因此，我不喜欢那样做。堪布听后非常高兴地说：你真好，能用智慧分辨我说的话的优缺点，不为钱财而浪费才能。与其舍弃羞耻，违背正法而获得天神之位，不如拿着瓦罐在敌人的门口乞讨。孩子，伟大的婆罗门，说得好啊！就这样赞叹他。༈ 再次转世为希比国的国王时，像父亲一样利益众生。他有一位大臣的女儿，像天女一样，无论谁看到她都会被吸引，名叫迷醉母。她的父亲对国王说：您的国家出现了一位珍贵的女子，您是接受还是不接受，请您自己决定。国王让婆罗门们去考察这件事是否合适。当那个女孩给婆罗门们端食物时，他们只顾看那个女孩，吃不下东西。因此，她的父亲让女孩消失，然后给他们食物，之后就离开了。那些婆罗门

He lowered his head from the cold and said nothing. The Khenpo saw this and thought, "This person must have some good qualities." He also wondered, "Is it because he cannot steal, does not like hardship, or is it because of his understanding of Dharma that he does not commit theft?" So he said to him, "These Brahmins cannot bear my decline, so they have generated a strong mind. Do you not love me? Are you unable to steal? Why do you remain silent?" The Bodhisattva replied, "It is not that I do not love the Khenpo, nor that I am hard-hearted and not tormented by the suffering of the Lama. It is because this knowledge taught by the Khenpo is impossible, so I have no interest in it." Why is that? Because such a secluded place where one can commit evil without being seen by anyone does not exist. In any case, it is impossible for beings, gods, and Buddhas not to see. Children who think that others do not know what they have done and commit evil are foolish. If one commits evil while seeing it with one's own eyes, it is impossible to say that no one sees it, because one sees it with one's own eyes. Therefore, it is impossible to be without sin. Therefore, I do not like to do that." The Khenpo was very pleased and said, "You are good, able to use your wisdom to distinguish the merits and demerits of what I say, and not waste your talents for the sake of money. Rather than abandoning shame and violating the Dharma to obtain the position of a god, it is better to hold a clay pot and beg at the enemy's door. Child, great Brahmin, well said!" Thus he praised him. ༈ Again, when he was reborn as the king of the Shibi country, he benefited all beings like a father. He had a minister's daughter, like a goddess, who captivated anyone who saw her, named Intoxicating Mother. Her father said to the king, "A precious woman has appeared in your country. Whether you accept her or not, please decide for yourself." The king sent the Brahmins to investigate whether this was appropriate. When the girl served food to the Brahmins, they only looked at the girl and could not eat. Therefore, her father made the girl disappear, then gave them food, and then left. Those Brahmins

因此，这就像用幻术装饰过的有形之物。此女容貌极其美丽，甚至能迷惑苦行者，如果与她相遇，国王必定会沉迷，从而疏于处理宗教和政治事务。因此，（大臣们）对国王说，此女容貌虽美，但命相不好，国王不应看她，更不用说娶她为妻了。听到这些话，国王便不再有贪恋之心。得知国王不喜，便将她送给了一位大臣。国王去参加库姆达花节时，那名迷醉女心想，国王是因为我命相不好才抛弃我的，于是精心打扮，从楼上观看。国王看见后，用惊奇的目光久久凝视，心想，这到底是天女还是非天等？还没看够，花车就驶向了别处，心中不悦，只想着她，回到自己的住所后，问车夫那个女子是谁。车夫回答说，那是大臣阿毗帕·拉卡的妻子，名叫迷醉女。得知那女子已成为他人之妻，便断了念想，心想，这个迷醉女真是名副其实啊。由于欲望的驱使，他失去了坚定，心中不快，容颜、目光和肌肉都消瘦了。迷醉女的主人，那位精通征兆的大臣，得知国王因贪恋而如此憔悴，出于对国王的爱戴，私下秘密禀告说，我今天早上祭祀神灵时，一个夜叉说，你不知道国王迷恋迷醉女吗？说完就消失了。既然如此，神灵为何不直接告诉我呢？请您为了我，收下这个迷醉女吧。听到这些话，国王感到羞愧，低下了头，虽然被欲望所控制，但由于习惯于思考佛法，不愿失去坚定，便说道：这不合道理，会损耗福德。我终将死去，你也会因与她分离而悲伤，因此，这辈子和下辈子都会对我们俩造成伤害。这种不智的孩童所信奉的法，智者是不会信奉的。

Therefore, this is like an object adorned with illusion. This woman's appearance is extremely beautiful, capable of even deceiving ascetics. If encountered, the king would surely become infatuated, thereby neglecting religious and political affairs. Therefore, (the ministers) said to the king, "Although this woman's appearance is beautiful, her omens are bad. The king should not look at her, let alone marry her." Hearing these words, the king no longer had any desire. Knowing that the king disliked her, she was given to a minister. When the king went to the Kumuda flower festival, the intoxicating woman thought, "The king abandoned me because my omens are bad," so she dressed up carefully and watched from the upper floor. The king saw her and stared for a long time with astonished eyes, thinking, "Is this a goddess or an asura?" Before he had seen enough, the chariot moved elsewhere, and he was unhappy. Thinking only of her, he returned to his residence and asked the charioteer who that woman was. The charioteer replied, "That is the wife of Minister Abhipa Raka, named Intoxicating Woman." Learning that the woman had become another's wife, he gave up hope, thinking, "This Intoxicating Woman truly lives up to her name." Driven by desire, he lost his steadfastness and became unhappy. His complexion, eyes, and flesh became thin and emaciated. The minister who owned the Intoxicating Woman, being skilled in signs and omens, knew that the king was so haggard due to lust. Out of love for the king, he secretly reported in private, "This morning, when I was worshiping the gods, a yaksha said, 'Don't you know that the king is infatuated with the Intoxicating Woman?' After saying this, he disappeared. If that is so, why didn't the god tell me directly? Please, for my sake, accept this Intoxicating Woman." Hearing these words, the king felt ashamed and lowered his head. Although controlled by desire, because he was accustomed to thinking about the Dharma, he did not want to lose his steadfastness and said, "That is not right, it would diminish merit. I will eventually die, and you will also be saddened by being separated from her. Therefore, it would cause harm to both of us in this life and the next. This Dharma, which is followed by unwise children, is not followed by the wise."
