然后,国王问他:“你有什么罪过?”他说:“我以前让这些人行持十善,所以现在我非常痛苦。”国王说:“如果劝人行善,不可能遭受这样的痛苦。你劝行善的那些人得到了安乐的果报吗?”他说:“他们是得到了,只是劝人行善者变成了这样。”国王听后非常高兴,说道:“如果其他人获得了善果,我即使遭受痛苦也没有后悔。”说完,那个魔鬼立刻消失了。那位国王前往所有的地方,向所有百姓宣扬十善,赞美十善,使所有人的身语意都倾向于善。那时,他成为了具有金轮等七宝的转轮王,并将四大部洲都安置于善法之中。像这样,自己安住于十善,也安置他人于十善,因此,现在成佛时,脚底具有千辐轮的相。如是说。 再次,以前所有的商队首领,名叫救护和善成,各自拥有四万商人的眷属。善成喜欢出离,所以在一位仙人面前出家,最终现证了独觉的菩提。那些商人没有见到善成,四处寻找也没有找到。所有的商队首领对救护这样说。救护说:“我会寻找的。”于是八万商人围绕着他,在所有的地方寻找。他们见到了那位独觉,问道:“你为什么舍弃商人而出家?”那位大士以身体示现佛法,而不是用语言。他示现了燃烧和闪电等神变,使他们生起了信心。之后,所有的商队首领救护用财物供养使八万商人感到满意,说道:“为他做事,果报会成熟的。”那些人为了他做了各种各样的事情,那位商队首领也将那些商人安置于他所教导的五戒之中。像这样,所有的商队首领

Then, the king asked him, "What is your offense?" He said, "I used to place these people in the ten virtues, so now I am suffering greatly." The king said, "If you encourage people to do good, it is impossible to experience such suffering. Have those who you encouraged to do good obtained the fruit of happiness?" He said, "They have obtained it, but only the one who encourages others to do good has become like this." The king was very happy to hear that and said, "If others have obtained the fruit of virtue, I have no regrets even if I experience suffering." As soon as he said that, the demon immediately disappeared. That king went to all the lands and proclaimed the ten virtues to all the people, praising the ten virtues, so that everyone's body, speech, and mind were inclined towards virtue. At that time, he became a wheel-turning king with the seven treasures, including a golden wheel, and placed all four continents in virtue. In this way, by abiding in the ten virtues himself and placing others in the ten virtues, he now has the mark of a thousand-spoked wheel on the soles of his feet when he becomes a Buddha. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the past, all the caravan leaders, named Savior and Well-Accomplished, each had a retinue of forty thousand merchants. Well-Accomplished was fond of renunciation, so he went forth in the presence of a sage and ultimately realized the enlightenment of a solitary Buddha. Those merchants did not see Well-Accomplished and searched for him, but could not find him. All the caravan leaders said this to Savior. Savior said, "I will search for him." Then eighty thousand merchants surrounded him and searched in all places. They saw that solitary Buddha and asked, "Why did you abandon the merchants and go forth?" That great being taught the Dharma with his body, not with words. He showed miracles such as burning and emitting lightning, which caused them to have faith. Then, all the caravan leaders, Savior, satisfied the eighty thousand merchants with material offerings, saying, "Do work for him, and the fruit will ripen." Those people did various kinds of work for him, and that caravan leader also placed those merchants in the five precepts that he taught. In this way, all the caravan leaders

救护者即是薄伽梵。༈。又在过去的时候,在此赡部洲的波罗奈斯国,一位名叫哈里的婆罗门之子,名为善求者,当薄伽梵转世为他时,他的兄弟名为恶求者,受到了天神的加持。这两兄弟各自带领五百眷属,前往大海寻宝。由于路途遥远,还没到七天路程的地方,粮食就断绝了,濒临死亡。善求者等人都非常沮丧,向天神等祈祷。这时,从远处看到一棵茂盛的好树,走到那里,发现也有一口好水井。大家都喝了水,说:‘这是我们祭拜天神的征兆啊!’这时,天神显现,说:‘砍断这棵树的树枝,所有愿望都会实现。’砍断一根树枝,就出现了美味的饮料。再砍断一根,就出现了具有百种美味的食物,大家都饱餐了一顿。再砍断一根树枝,就出现了各种各样的衣服。再砍断一根,就出现了各种各样的珍宝,所有的驮子都装满了。之后,恶求者等人都来到了那里,看到之前砍断的树枝出现了各种珍宝。心想:‘如果砍断这棵树的根,一定会有更多的珍宝。’于是打算挖掘树根。善求者不高兴地说:‘我们贫穷,濒临死亡,是这棵树救了我们,不要砍这棵树。’但他们不听。善求者不想看到这一幕,就先走了。之后,恶求者等人砍断了那棵树的根,这时,出现了五百个罗刹,吃掉了恶求者等所有商人。༈。菩萨们即使舍弃身体,也绝不会违背对众生所说的话,总是守护誓言。过去在无数劫之前,薄伽梵曾转世为一头名叫狮子肢体不劣的狮子。他慈爱一切众生,以树根、树叶、果实和花朵为食,住在难以进入的山洞里。那里住着两只猴子,一段时间后生了两只小猴子,托付给狮子后,雌雄两只猴子就去嬉戏了。

The protector is the Bhagavan himself. ༈. Also, in a past time, in this Jambudvipa, in the country of Varanasi, when the Bhagavan himself was born as a son of a Brahmin named Hari, named Good Seeker, his brother, named Bad Seeker, was blessed by the gods. The two brothers set out on a journey to the ocean to collect jewels, each with five hundred attendants. Because the road was long, they had not even reached a place seven days away when their provisions ran out and they were near death. Good Seeker and the others were all distressed and made offerings to the gods and so on. Then, from afar, they saw a good, flourishing tree and went there, and there was also a good spring. Everyone drank there, saying, 'This is a sign that we have worshipped the gods!' Then the god appeared and said, 'Cut off a branch of this flourishing tree and all your wishes will be fulfilled.' When one branch was cut off, a delicious drink appeared. When another was cut off, all kinds of food with a hundred flavors appeared, and everyone ate to their fill. When another branch was cut off, various kinds of clothes appeared, and when another was cut off, various kinds of precious jewels appeared, and all the loads were filled. Then Bad Seeker and the others all arrived there, and seeing that various jewels came from the branches that had been cut off earlier, they thought, 'If we cut off the root of this tree, there will be many precious jewels.' So they planned to dig up the root of the tree, but Good Seeker was not happy and said, 'This tree has saved us from poverty and death, do not cut this tree.' But they did not listen. Good Seeker did not want to see this, so he went ahead. After that, when Bad Seeker and the others cut off the root of the tree, five hundred ogres appeared and devoured all the merchants, including Bad Seeker. ༈. Bodhisattvas, even if they give up their bodies, will never break the words they have spoken to sentient beings, and they always keep their vows. In the past, in a time that has passed countless eons, the Bhagavan was born as a lion called Lion-Limb-Not-Inferior. He followed with love all sentient beings, eating roots, leaves, fruits, and flowers, and lived in a mountain cave that was difficult to enter. There lived two monkeys, and after some time they had two offspring, entrusting them to the lion, and the two monkeys, male and female, went to play.

去往那个地方。在那里,名为羽毛刀的鹫王抓走了那两只小猴子,停留在上方的空中,狮子看见后用偈颂说道:放了那两只前来向我寻求庇护的小猴子。鹫王说:野兽之王,如果你舍弃我,我就放了它们。否则,即使你生气,我吃了这两只,飞向天空,又能怎么样?野兽之王说:我舍弃自己让你吃,请放了那两只小猴子。如果进入菩提,守护誓言,不说谎言,就为了众生舍弃身体。鹫王见到如此奇事,放了那两只小猴子,说道:野兽之王,你也别舍弃你的身体,说完就走了。当时,那对猴子夫妇就是光增和金色贤女,罗睺罗和阿难是小猴子,德行比丘在那时是鹫王羽毛刀,如是说。 再次,往昔世尊和燃灯佛在此赡部洲化身为两位最胜的说法童子之时,出家后独自住在森林里,精通所有诗歌和论典,获得禅定和神通。名为象王的猎兽之王,向包括六十俱胝眷属在内的众生说法,并生起菩提心。当时,许多贪欲比丘对那两位说法者说:这是顺世外道,说断灭论,说五蕴本来就没有,宣扬业和果报毁灭的法,杀了他们。这样劝说国王。国王也有些犹豫之时,曾经和国王一起享乐,后来跟随的女神说道:国王,不要因罪恶之友的话语而生起这样的想法。这两位是真正的说法者,请回忆起之前他们说法的恩德,不要舍弃他们。这样说完后,国王思索着她的话,没有舍弃胜者的教法。那个国王的弟弟,凶暴的夜叉王,用咒语可以在空中飞行。

They went to that place. There, the king of vultures named Feather Knife seized the two baby monkeys and stayed in the sky above. The lion saw this and said in verse: Release those two baby monkeys who come to me for refuge. The vulture king said: King of beasts, if you abandon me, I will release them. Otherwise, even if you are angry, what can I do if I eat these two and fly into the sky? The king of beasts said: I will abandon myself for you to eat, please release the two baby monkeys. If one enters Bodhi, keeps vows, and does not speak falsely, then one will give up one's body for the sake of sentient beings. The vulture saw such a wonder and released the two baby monkeys, saying: King of beasts, do not give up your body either, and then he left. At that time, the monkey couple were Light Increase and Golden Good Woman, Rahula and Ananda were the baby monkeys, and the virtuous monk garland was the vulture king Feather Knife at that time, so it was said. Again, in the past, when the Blessed One and the Buddha Dipamkara manifested in this Jambudvipa as two supreme Dharma-speaking youths, they renounced the world and lived alone in the forest, being proficient in all poetry and treatises, and having attained meditation and miraculous powers. The king of hunting beasts named Elephant King taught the Dharma to beings including sixty kotis of retinue, and generated the mind of Bodhi. At that time, many lustful monks said to the two Dharma speakers: These are materialists, speaking of annihilationism, saying that the five aggregates do not exist from the beginning, and proclaiming the Dharma of the destruction of karma and its results, kill them. They urged the king in this way. When the king was also somewhat hesitant, a goddess who had once enjoyed pleasures with the king and followed him said: King, do not give rise to such thoughts because of the words of evil friends. These two are true Dharma speakers, please remember the kindness of their previous Dharma teachings, and do not abandon them. After she said this, the king pondered her words and did not abandon the teachings of the Victorious One. The younger brother of that king, the fierce Yaksha king, could fly in the sky with mantras.

那些罪恶的朋友怂恿说:“杀了这两个比丘。”他分派军队去杀他们,龙和夜叉住在森林里,用石头和砖头的雨驱逐了他们,并给予了哈达。恶王临死的时候,因为对说法者生气,在六十个世代里生于无间地狱。那些诅咒和抛弃国王的具有邪见的比丘们,在无数亿万世代里,遭受着有情地狱的痛苦。那位劝说国王并保护说法者的天女,见到了恒河沙数般的佛陀,并供养和享用,与国王一起听法并生起菩提心的六十亿众生,在其他刹土成佛。听法的国王是慈氏菩萨,利益众生的天女是月光童女,国王的弟弟恶人是提婆达多。如是说。又,过去世,当如来名为安乐王出世的时候,这个赡部洲广阔达九十万俱胝由旬,八万四千大城市全部由七宝所成,如天界一般富饶。世尊自己成了名为施护的如法大国王,在八万四千个城市里,国王有八万四千个家,每个家里有八万四千个妃嫔眷属的妇女。国王的王宫由七宝所成,具备一切安乐的用具,如同百千天神之王帝释天的宫殿一般。具有如此惊人财富威力的国王,他自己的儿子,成为福德的大主宰,菩提萨埵,名为福德胜,他对家里的享受没有贪恋,随后出家。施护国王自己也向佛陀献上王位,然后出家,修行佛法,并且生起了忍辱。在那之后,在那个刹土和时代,出现了两千万俱胝的善逝。

Those evil friends urged, "Kill these two monks." He divided the army to kill them, but the dragons and yakshas living in the forest drove them away with a rain of stones and bricks, and offered khatas. King Maruna, at the time of his death, because of his anger towards the Dharma speaker, was born in Avici hell for sixty lifetimes. Those monks with wrong views who cursed and abandoned the king, for countless billions of lifetimes, experienced the suffering of sentient beings in hell. The goddess who advised the king and protected the Dharma speaker saw as many Buddhas as there are sands in the Ganges, and practiced offering and enjoying. The sixty billion beings who listened to the Dharma with the king and generated bodhicitta became Buddhas in other Buddha-fields. The king who listened to the Dharma was Maitreya, the goddess who benefited beings was the youth Chandra-prabha, and the king's brother Maruna was Devadatta. Thus it was said. Furthermore, in the past, when the Tathagata named King of Bliss appeared in the world, this Jambudvipa was vast, with ninety hundred thousand kotis of yojanas, and all eighty-four thousand great cities were made of the seven precious substances, as prosperous as the realm of the gods. The Bhagavan himself became a great Dharma-abiding king named Datta-rakshita. In the eighty-four thousand cities, the king had eighty-four thousand houses, and in each house there were eighty-four thousand women in the retinue of the queen. The king's palace was made of the seven precious substances, possessing all the implements of bliss, like the palace of Indra, the king of the hundred thousand gods. That king, possessing such amazing power of wealth, his own son, who became the great lord of merit, a Bodhisattva, named Shrestha-punya, without attachment to the enjoyments of the household, subsequently renounced. King Datta-rakshita himself also offered the kingdom to the Buddha, then renounced, practiced the Dharma, and also generated patience. After that, in that field and time, twenty million kotis of Sugatas appeared.
