说了“现在你想要供养我、布施我还是吃掉我，随你便吧”。那个罗刹生起了信心，眼泪盈满了眼眶，忘记了罪恶之心，看着王子说：“国王您这样的人，谁会明知故犯地去加害呢？您所说的那些善妙之语，也请告诉我，我想要听。”“由于您善妙的讲述，我也对自己的恶劣行为感到后悔了。”说完之后，王子菩提萨埵对罗刹说，之前仙人的诅咒之年也满了，现在是进入佛法的时候了，所以应该渴求佛法，于是说道：“那么，想要佛法，就需要有与之相应的行为。坐在极低的座位上，充分展现调伏的威仪，用喜悦的眼神看着，如同饮用甘露般的言辞，生起恭敬心，一心一意地顶礼，以清净的信心，如同病人听从医生的话语一般，恭敬地听闻佛法吧。”之后，罗刹赤足将自己的上衣铺在一块高高的石板上，将菩提萨埵放在上面，看着他的脸说：“大菩萨，请您说吧。”菩提萨埵以清晰的嗓音说了之前听过的偈颂：“对于圣者，仅仅一次，无论以何种方式相遇，都不需要熟悉，自然会变得非常稳固。”赤足罗刹听到后，说了声“好啊”，摇着头，发出“瑟勾”的声音，感到非常高兴，又对菩提萨埵说：“请您再说吧。”菩提萨埵说了第二个偈颂：“圣者们是谁也无法缩短的，应当以蜜蜂的方式亲近善法，靠近他们，他们功德的尘埃，即使不特意沾染也会沾上。”赤足罗刹说：“以善法善说，您以各种方式供养，财物也送到了该去的地方，努力之后，愿望实现了。”之后又说：“再说吧。”菩提萨埵说：“国王的宝车用珍贵的黄金装饰，身体也会因衰老而变得丑陋，但是圣者们的佛法不会衰老，善法是功德的稳固基础。”赤足罗刹发出“瑟勾”的声音，我

He said, "Now, do whatever you want, whether you want to offer me, give me alms, or eat me." That Rakshasa developed faith, his eyes filled with tears, and forgetting his sinful mind, he looked at the prince and said, "O King, who would knowingly harm someone like you? Please also show me those well-spoken words, and I want to listen. By the power of your well-spoken words, I also regret my own bad deeds." After saying this, Prince Bodhisattva said to the Rakshasa, since the years of the sage's curse were also complete, and the time to enter the Dharma had come, it was appropriate to desire the Dharma, so he said, "Well then, desiring the Dharma requires conduct that is in accordance with it. Sit on a very low seat, fully display the splendor of taming, look with joyful eyes, like drinking the nectar of words, generate respect, and single-mindedly prostrate. With pure faith, listen to the Dharma respectfully, just as a patient listens to the words of a doctor." Then, the Rakshasa Red-Foot spread his upper garment on top of a high stone slab, placed the Bodhisattva on it, and looking at his face, said, "Great Bodhisattva, please speak." The Bodhisattva, with a clear voice, spoke the verse he had heard before: "For the holy, just once, no matter how they meet as they wish, there is no need to be familiar, and they will naturally become very stable." Hearing this, the Red-Foot Rakshasa said, "Good!" shaking his head, making a "se go" sound, and feeling very happy. He then said to the Bodhisattva, "Please speak again." The Bodhisattva spoke the second verse: "The holy ones cannot be shortened by anyone. One should rely on virtue in the manner of a bee. Near them, the dust of their qualities, even if not intentionally stained, will be stained." The Red-Foot Rakshasa said, "With virtue, well spoken, you worship in every way. Wealth is also sent to the place where it should go. After striving, the wish is fulfilled." Then he said again, "Speak again." The Bodhisattva said, "The king's chariot is adorned with precious gold, and the body will also become ugly due to aging, but the Dharma of the holy ones does not age. Virtues are the stable foundation of qualities." The Red-Foot Rakshasa made a "se go" sound, and I

以甘露之雨使之满足。然后又说。菩萨说了第四个偈颂：天空和大地之间也很长。大海的此岸彼岸也很长。东西方的山之间的距离也很长。凡夫俗子和神圣的佛法之间的距离更长。然后食肉鬼非常高兴和恭敬，对菩萨说：为了供养听到你的四个偈颂，这四个偈颂意义清晰，我想供养四个圣物，请您随意索取。王子说：如果你努力让我失去自由，那行善就变成了颠倒。你如何将圣物给予他人？即使我允许你给予圣物，你的心也不会乐于布施，所以不要那样说。然后食肉鬼有些羞愧，低下头，对菩萨说：请您不要那样怀疑。我即使献出生命，也会供养那些圣物，请您接受。菩萨说：享受真实的苦行，放弃杀害众生。释放所有这些被你囚禁的人。勇士，你彻底放弃吃人肉。请布施这四个圣物中的至高者。食肉鬼说：前三个圣物我供养你。请索取第四个圣物。我不能不吃人肉。难道你以前不知道吗？王子说：我不是说过你不能布施圣物吗？如果你不放弃吃人肉，怎么能说真话，不杀害众生呢？这样的话，前三个圣物又怎么能布施呢？你献出生命来布施四个圣物，就是这样了。罗刹说：因为什么原因失去了王位？我在森林里遭受痛苦。失去了佛法，得到了恶名。我怎么能放弃那些呢？王子说：因为什么原因，你失去了佛法和王位？快乐和名声都消失了。那个导致贫困的根源，不应该放弃啊。等等。你以前住在王位上，却因为想成为吃人肉的罗刹的心而

He satisfied them with a rain of nectar. Then he spoke again. The Bodhisattva spoke the fourth verse: The distance between the sky and the earth is long. The distance between the near and far shores of the ocean is long. The distance between the mountains of the east and west is long. The distance between ordinary people and the sacred Dharma is even longer. Then the Rakshasa, greatly pleased and respectful, said to the Bodhisattva: In order to make offerings for hearing your four verses, which are clear in meaning, I wish to offer four sacred things. Please ask for whatever you desire. The prince said: If you strive to make me unfree, then the practice of virtue becomes inverted. How can you give sacred things to others? Even if I grant you permission to give sacred things, your mind will not be inclined to generosity, so do not speak like that. Then the Rakshasa, somewhat ashamed and with his head lowered, said to the Bodhisattva: Please do not harbor such doubts. I will offer those sacred things even if I give up my life, please accept them. The Bodhisattva said: Enjoy the practice of truth and abandon killing sentient beings. Release all these people you have captured. Hero, you must completely abandon eating human flesh. Give these four supreme sacred things as alms. The Rakshasa said: I will offer the first three sacred things to you. Please ask for another fourth sacred thing. I am unable to not eat human flesh. Didn't you know that from before? The prince said: Didn't I say that you are unable to give sacred things as alms? If you do not abandon eating human flesh, how can you speak truthfully and not kill living beings? In that case, how can you give the first three sacred things as alms? It has become like this, that you give the four sacred things by giving up your life. The Rakshasa said: For what reason did I lose the kingdom? I suffer in the forest. I have fallen from the Dharma and gained a bad reputation. How can I abandon those things? The prince said: For what reason do you lose Dharma and kingdom? Happiness and fame disappear. That source that causes poverty, it is not right to abandon it. And so on. You were previously abiding in the kingdom, but now you are under the power of the mind that makes you a flesh-eating Rakshasa.

被教导说，应该进入不损害佛法和政治的道路，因此，食人王子向他顶礼，并承诺以后不再吃人肉，并献上所有囚犯。然后，月官王子来到被囚禁的王子们面前，他们非常高兴，心想我们得救了，并给予他们鼓励。他让他们发誓以后不伤害食人王子，并将他们从监狱中释放出来。那五百位王子也护送食人王子，让他登上王位，依法治理国家，那些王子们也侍奉他。其他的王子们也被安置在各自的王位上。那位月官王子就是世尊本人，而食人魔后来成了指鬘比丘。因此，与圣者相遇会带来巨大的利益，应该按照圣者所说的那样去做，凭借善巧方便可以成办自他的利益，即使面对巨大的困难也能忍受，即使面临危险也不会背离佛法之路，依靠佛法可以成就自他广大的利益，考虑到这些道理，应该恭敬佛法的功德。 ༈ 再次，过去在波罗奈斯，名叫梵施的国王统治着国家，整个国家富裕而安乐。当时，担任国师的婆罗门之子，名叫绿色的年轻人，精通十八种学问，具有信心和善念，致力于利益自己和他人，慈悲且孝顺父母，这位世尊转世为菩萨。当绿色婆罗门的父母年老体衰，视力模糊时，这对父母请求梵施国王册封年轻的绿色为国师，我们想去苦行林。国王对绿色说：“担任国师吧。”绿色回答说：“我不适合担任国师，我只想侍奉年老体弱、感官衰退的人。”他像唾弃唾沫一样抛弃了国师和家庭的地位，在森林里陪伴父母。他每天早上起来为父母

He was advised that it was appropriate to enter a path that would not harm Dharma and politics, so the cannibal prince prostrated to him and vowed never to eat human flesh again, and offered all the prisoners. Then, Prince Moon went to the imprisoned princes, who were very happy, thinking that we were saved, and gave them encouragement. He made them swear not to harm the cannibal prince in the future, and released them from prison. The five hundred princes also escorted the cannibal prince, placed him on the throne, and he ruled the country righteously, and those princes also served him. The other princes were also placed on their respective thrones. That Prince Moon was the Blessed One himself, and the cannibal demon later became the monk Angulimala. Therefore, meeting with holy beings brings great benefits, and one should do as the holy beings say, and with skillful means one can accomplish the benefit of oneself and others, and even in the face of great difficulties one can endure, and even in the face of danger one will not turn away from the path of Dharma, and relying on Dharma one can accomplish vast benefits for oneself and others. Considering these reasons, one should respect the virtues of Dharma. ༈ Again, in the past, in Varanasi, a king named Brahma-datta ruled the country, and the whole country was prosperous and peaceful. At that time, the son of the Brahmin who served as the royal chaplain, named Green Youth, was versed in the eighteen branches of knowledge, possessed faith and virtuous thoughts, was engaged in benefiting himself and others, was compassionate and served his parents. This Blessed One was born as a Bodhisattva. When the parents of the Brahmin Green grew old and their eyesight deteriorated, the parents requested King Brahma-datta to appoint the young Green as the royal chaplain, and we wish to go to the hermitage for asceticism. The king said to Green, "Be the royal chaplain." Green replied, "I am not fit to be the royal chaplain, I only wish to serve those who are old and weak and whose senses have declined." He abandoned the position of royal chaplain and the household like spitting out phlegm, and lived in the forest as a companion to his parents. He would get up early in the morning for his parents

以树木和净水侍奉，之后进行火供的祭祀，后来为了果实和根茎进入森林，拿着果实、根茎和凉水回来。献给父母后，就在他们身旁专心致志地禅定，这样度过时光。有一天早上起来，向父母的脚致敬，说了梦中所见：“我的梦中，黑蛇吞噬了自己的身体，黑色的绳索捆绑着我，将我带向南方。梦中见到恐怖景象，心中感到担忧，心想我与上师分离的不幸之事将要发生。”说完，父母二人叹了口气，面向太阳坐着，以真实之语祈祷，拿着药丸去取水了。当时，胜施国王去森林狩猎，进入了苦行的森林。国王对声音很敏感，虽然没有看到形体，但听到了类似野兽的声音，便将弓拉到耳边射出，射中了绿色的心脏。他被箭射中要害，倒在地上，但仍然忍受着自己的痛苦，只为父母着想，心中悲伤地说道：一箭射中了我，以及感官衰弱的父亲和母亲，我们三个都被杀死了。国王听后问道：怎么一箭射死了三个人？这时，绿树用悲伤的声音哭泣着说道：比我更加可怜的父母，他们已经瞎了。我也被箭射中，所以三个人都要死了。之后，国王感到恐惧害怕，说道：我这个婆罗门的孩子犯了错啊，不知道就射箭了。在对我下诅咒之前，应该先去向父母请罪。之后，绿树恭敬地让国王喘口气。伟大的国王，如果您对与我亲近的人们有权力，那么您是慈悲的，对众生有爱，并且关注来世，所以不要被诅咒吓倒。又说道：我的父亲上师在哪里？

He served with trees and pure water. After that, he performed the fire sacrifice and then entered the forest for fruits and roots. He would bring back fruits, roots, and cool water. After giving them to his parents, he would diligently meditate in one direction beside them, spending his time in this way. One day, he got up early in the morning, paid homage to his parents' feet, and said what he had seen in a dream: "In my dream, a black snake devoured its own body, and a black rope bound me and led me to the south. Seeing terrifying visions in the dream, my heart is filled with worry, and I think that an unbearable separation from my guru will occur." After he said this, his parents sighed, faced the sun, and prayed with truthful words, then took pills and went to fetch water. At that time, King Tsangsbyin set out to hunt in the forest and entered that forest of asceticism. The king was one who moved towards where sound was, so even though he did not see a form, he heard a sound like that of a wild animal. He drew his bow to his ear and shot, hitting the green one's heart. Although he fell to the ground after being hit in a vital spot by the arrow, he endured his suffering and grieved in his heart only for his parents, saying: "With one arrow, I and my father and mother, whose senses are weakened, all three of us are killed." When the king heard this, he asked: "How can one arrow kill three people?" Then the green one, crying with a pitiable voice, said: "My parents, who are more wretched than I, have become blind. And because I am struck by the arrow, three people will die." Then the king, terrified and frightened, said: "I, a Brahmin boy, have committed a wrong. I shot the arrow without knowing. Before he casts a curse on me, I should first ask forgiveness from his parents." Then the green one respectfully allowed the king to breathe. "Great king, if you have power over those who are close to me, you are compassionate, loving to beings, and mindful of the next world, so do not be daunted by a curse." He also said: "Where is my father, the guru?"
