不知满足,贪欲增长。朋友们,暂时请息怒,停止争斗。智者应培养知足少欲之心,即使顺应了这一点,但被贪欲压倒也无法阻止,(信使)到来并展示信件说:你杀了我,我的王国就归你;我杀了你,你的王国就归我。于是,亲眷国王想到,无论在哪个世间,贪欲都会带来痛苦。如果有欲界,就需要众生的资具;如果没有欲界,就不需要了。他这样想着,放弃了王位,出家修行,培养了四梵住,并转生到梵天世界。༈ 又,过去在无数不可思议劫之前,有位名叫遍观的佛陀降临世间,在他的教法示现时期,在波罗奈斯国,有一位伟大、贤明、正直且至高无上的国王,他统治着六十个小国。世尊本人转世为王子,名叫忍辱,他慷慨勇敢,且具有伟大的慈悲心。当时,有六位大臣,他们愤怒、狡诈,无缘无故地随意处决人,他们因自身的过失而总是嫉妒王子。当时,国王身患重病,王子向大臣们询问父王的情况如何。他们回答说:国王不久将去世,因为找不到良药。王子听后非常不高兴,倒在地上。六位大臣秘密商议说:如果不除掉忍辱王子,我们永远不会安宁。其中一位说:他没有过错,如何除掉他?另一位说:有办法。说完,他们去见王子,说:我们已经走遍了六十个小国和八百个城市,寻找能让国王痊愈的药,但没有找到。王子问:国王需要什么药而没有找到?大臣回答说:药是需要一个从出生开始就不知愤怒的人的眼珠和脚,如果找不到,国王就无法痊愈。听到这些,王子非常不高兴,又

Without knowing contentment, attachment increases. Friends, for a moment, please be mindful and cease the fighting. The wise should cultivate contentment, and even if they agree with this, being overwhelmed by attachment cannot be prevented. The messenger arrives and shows the letter saying, 'If you kill me, my kingdom will be yours; if I kill you, your kingdom will be mine.' Then, King Related-by-Marriage thought that in whatever realm of the world, attachment will bring suffering. If there is a realm of desire, the possessions of sentient beings are needed; if there is no realm of desire, they are not needed. Thinking this, he renounced the kingdom, went forth into homelessness, cultivated the four Brahma-viharas, and was born in the Brahma realm. ༈ Furthermore, in the past, countless incalculable eons ago, a Buddha named Vipashyin appeared in the world, and during the time of the reflection of his teachings, in the country of Varanasi, there was a great king, wise, upright, and supremely endowed, who ruled over sixty small kingdoms. The Blessed One himself was born as a prince named Kshanti (Patience), who was brave in giving and possessed great compassion. At that time, there were six ministers who were angry, deceitful, and arbitrarily executed people without cause. They were always jealous of the prince because of their own faults. At that time, the king was afflicted with a severe illness. The prince asked the ministers about the condition of his father, the king. They replied, 'The king will soon pass away because a good medicine cannot be found.' The prince was very unhappy upon hearing this and fell to the ground. The six ministers secretly consulted, saying, 'If we do not eliminate Prince Kshanti, we will never be at peace.' One of them said, 'If he has no fault, how can we eliminate him?' Another said, 'There is a way.' Saying this, they went to the prince and said, 'We have searched throughout the lands of the sixty small kingdoms and the eight hundred cities for a medicine that can heal the king, but we have not found it.' The prince asked, 'What medicine does the king need that you have not found?' The ministers replied, 'The medicine requires the eyeball and foot of someone who, from birth, does not know anger. If that is not found, the king will not recover.' Hearing this, the prince was very unhappy and again

说:“我具有那个。”臣子们说:“那样也很难做到。”王子说:“父王如果能从疾病中解脱,我即使舍弃百千身体也没有困难。”之后王子向母亲行礼说:“我的这个身体可以作为国王的药,如果担心不能活命,就向母亲磕头祈求,不要让母亲不高兴。”听到这些,母亲昏倒在地。用冷水泼醒后又说:“父王不会长寿,所以才想让父王活命。”那位王子也向臣子们、小国王们和众多眷属们磕头祈求。臣子叫来一个出身低贱的屠夫,打断王子的腿骨,挖出腿,挖出两个眼珠,捣成药献给国王,国王的病就好了。国王病好后问臣子们:“这样好的药,能救命的,从哪里找到的?”回答说:“这药是王子忍辱调制的。”听到这些,国王昏倒在地,慢慢地问:“王子忍辱现在在哪里?”回答说:“现在在外面用身体做药,担心不能活命。”听到这些,国王大声呼喊,身体倒在地上说:“我是个无耻的人,为什么吃儿子的肉当药?”就往儿子那里跑去,国王还没赶到,王子就去世了。国王、大臣、妃子和眷属们都围着,母亲也扑倒在王子的尸体上哭喊。在那里,国王和小国王们用旃檀木焚烧,用七宝做成骨灰塔。当时国王的父母就是现在的净饭王和摩耶夫人。” 又,往昔世尊自己曾是一只名叫“坚定誓愿”的狮子,身体像黄金一样闪耀。它以果实和草根为食,不伤害任何众生,恭敬出家人,安住于此。在那里,一个猎人想:“如果杀了这只狮子,把皮献给国王,我就可以摆脱贫困。”于是穿上绛红色的衣服,伪装成出家人,拿着弓箭,

Saying, "I possess that." The ministers said, "Even that is difficult to do." The prince said, "If my father the king is freed from illness, even if I give up hundreds of thousands of bodies, there is no difficulty." Then the prince bowed to his mother and said, "This body of mine can be used as medicine for the king. If you are worried that I will not live, I prostrate and beg my mother, do not make my mother unhappy." Hearing this, the mother fainted and fell to the ground. After sprinkling her with cold water, he said again, "My father the king will not live long, so I want to save his life." That prince also prostrated and begged the ministers, the small kings, and the many attendants. The minister called a butcher of low birth, broke the prince's leg bones, dug out the leg, dug out two eyeballs, pounded them into medicine and offered them to the king, and the king's illness was cured. After the king recovered from his illness, he asked the ministers, "Where did you find such a good medicine that can save lives?" They replied, "This medicine was prepared by Prince Kshanti." Hearing this, the king fainted and fell to the ground, and slowly asked, "Where is Prince Kshanti now?" They replied, "Now he is outside using his body as medicine, and we are worried that he will not live." Hearing this, the king cried out and threw himself on the ground, saying, "I am a shameless person, why did I eat my son's flesh as medicine?" He ran to where his son was, but before the king arrived, the prince had passed away. The king, ministers, queen, and attendants surrounded him, and the mother also threw herself on the prince's corpse, crying and wailing. There, the king and the small kings burned the body with sandalwood and made a stupa of seven precious jewels from the bones. The king and queen at that time were the present-day Śuddhodana and Māyā." Again, in the past, the Blessed One himself was a lion named "Firm Vow," whose body shone like gold. It ate fruits and roots, did not harm any sentient beings, respected renunciates, and lived there. There, a hunter thought, "If I kill this lion and offer its skin to the king, I can get rid of my poverty." So he put on crimson clothes, disguised himself as a renunciate, and carried a bow and arrow.

因为没有犯错,请不要杀我。国王说:可爱的孩子,如果你母亲原谅你,我也会原谅你的。然后,小童法护走到母亲面前,向她的脚致敬,说:母亲请原谅我,不要让我被杀。这样,他用悲伤的声音哭泣,恳求着,但即使听到这些话,她也没有确定,没有原谅,刽子手们用锋利的刀剑砍断了小童的脖子,并将血喂给了恶毒的母亲,但她却没有产生后悔。小童法护对父母和刽子手都产生了欢喜和慈爱之心,然后去世了。就这样,小童法护是世尊,恶毒的妃子是提婆达多,如是说。༈ 再次,过去有一位名叫须弥山的国王,他乘坐马车,带着军队去森林里狩猎,国王在一棵树荫下休息。从北方来的商人们献上礼物,并赞扬他们自己国家的国王,名叫金刚杵者。这让须弥山国王心中充满了嫉妒。他回到自己的宫殿,派遣使者去金刚杵者国王那里,说:如果你不尽快来这里朝拜,我将严厉惩罚你。听到这些,暴怒的金刚杵者国王愤怒地部署了四支军队,前往须弥山国王的领地,双方展开激烈的战斗,许多人死亡和受伤。当时,大臣们对须弥山国王说:你们两位国王实力相当,不如放弃这场战争,和睦相处。须弥山国王听从了他们的建议。金刚杵者也看到自己的军队在减少,感到沮丧,也希望和睦相处。之后,须弥山国王以尊敬的态度向金刚杵者赠送了财物,几天之后,还将自己像天女一样极其出色的女儿嫁给了他,那位国王非常高兴,回到了自己的城市。在那里,有一天,须弥山国王的女儿,名叫丝女,怀上了世尊。当这位妃子怀孕的时候,

Because I have not committed any fault, please do not kill me. The king said: Lovely child, if your mother forgives you, I will also forgive you. Then, the boy Dharma Protector went to his mother and prostrated at her feet, saying: Mother, please forgive me and do not let me be killed. Thus, he cried with a pitiful voice, pleading, but even hearing these words, she did not ascertain, did not forgive, and the executioners cut off the boy's neck with sharp swords and fed the blood to the wicked mother, but she did not feel any remorse. The boy Dharma Protector died with a mind of joy and love towards his parents and the executioners. Thus, the boy Dharma Protector was the Bhagavan, and the wicked queen was Devadatta, so it was said. ༈ Again, in the past there was a king named Mount Meru, who rode in a chariot with his army to hunt in the forest, and the king rested in the shade of a tree. Merchants who came from the north presented gifts and praised the greatness of their own king, named Vajra-dhara. This stirred up jealousy in King Meru's mind. He returned to his palace and sent a messenger to King Vajra-dhara, saying: If you do not come here quickly to pay homage, I will severely punish you. Hearing this, the fierce King Vajra-dhara angrily deployed four armies and set out for the land of King Meru, and they engaged in a fierce battle, in which many died and were wounded. At that time, the ministers said to King Meru: You two kings are equal in strength, so it would be better to abandon this war and make peace. King Meru listened to them. Vajra-dhara also saw his own army dwindling and felt discouraged, and he also wanted to make peace. Then, King Meru respectfully gave wealth to Vajra-dhara, and after a few days, he also gave his own daughter, who was as excellent as a goddess, in marriage to him, and that king was very pleased and returned to his own city. There, at one time, the daughter of King Meru, named Snarma, became pregnant with the Bhagavan himself. When that queen was dwelling in the womb,

由于威力,心中生起念头,国王便在那上面撑起伞,也将囚犯们释放了。在那里,诞生了一位如太阳般明亮、具有形貌功德、光彩夺目的宝伞之子。他逐渐精通所有论典,极其具有忍耐力,如同世间的亲友。之后,国王年老,将王位传给儿子,父王便去世了。那时,他以正法治理国家,心想:愿我的宫殿里出现天人的食物、衣服和饰品等,话音刚落,就变成了那样。对于朋友们,他也恭敬地使他们高兴,因此他的名字也被称为“欢喜宝”。国王我的威力,使得鼓声的传承之地,所有居住的房屋里都出现了天人的享受。在那里,有一位名叫恶慧的大臣,心怀恶意,心想如果杀了欢喜宝,就能掌控这个人群。于是,他给日饶国王写了一封信,说:这个欢喜宝是你的敌人的儿子,因此如果杀了他,你将成为整个赡部洲的主人,而我也将成为天人的侍从。听到这些话后,日饶国王派使者对他说:你父亲抢夺了我的财产,让我痛苦不堪,现在我也要用强大的力量对你造成同样的伤害。欢喜宝心想:如果日饶国王来到这里,我的百姓将会受苦。于是他对使者说:请转告,我要去拜见我的上师们,我将亲自前往。说完,他带着国王的丰厚财富和军队出发了,到达靠近国王领地的恒河边后,他派人对恶慧大臣说:请转告,我的祖父的上师也是您的上师,我怎么会不尊敬您呢?那人却说:欢喜宝说,日饶国王,你恭敬地来这里吧,这个不知畏惧的人竟然对天神说话。于是,他从中挑拨离间,日饶国王非常愤怒。这时,恶慧对他说:欢喜宝非常弱小,是个愚蠢的人,不会对天神您造成任何伤害。

Due to power, a thought arose in his mind, and the king held an umbrella over it and released the prisoners as well. There, a son was born, radiant like the sun, possessing the qualities of form, a dazzling jewel umbrella. Gradually, he mastered all the treatises, was exceedingly patient, and became like a friend to the world. Then, the king grew old and placed his son on the throne, and the father passed away. At that time, he ruled the kingdom with Dharma, thinking, 'May divine food, clothing, and ornaments appear in my palace,' and as soon as he thought it, it happened. He also respectfully pleased his friends, so his name became known as 'Joyful Jewel.' By the power of me, the king, all the houses in the land of the drumbeat lineage experienced divine enjoyment. There, a minister named Evil Wisdom, with a cruel mind, thought, 'If I kill Joyful Jewel, I will be able to control this population.' So, he sent a letter to King Mount Meru, saying, 'This Joyful Jewel is the son of your enemy. Therefore, if you kill him, you will become the master of all Jambudvipa, and I will become a servant of the gods.' Hearing this, King Mount Meru sent a messenger to him, saying, 'Your father caused me suffering by stealing my wealth, and now I will inflict the same harm on you with great force.' Joyful Jewel thought, 'If King Mount Meru comes here, my people will suffer.' So he said to the messenger, 'Please tell them that I am going to visit my gurus, and I will come there myself.' Having said this, he set out with the king's great wealth and an army, and after reaching the banks of the Ganges near the king's territory, he sent word to the evil-minded minister, saying, 'Please tell him that my grandfather's guru is also your guru, how could I not respect you?' But he said, 'Joyful Jewel says, King Mount Meru, come here respectfully,' and this fearless person spoke to the gods. Thus, he sowed discord, and King Mount Meru became very angry. Then, Evil Wisdom said to him, 'Joyful Jewel is very weak and foolish, so he will not cause you, the god, any harm.'
