从以慈爱的瑜伽来观察那些地方开始,甚至不生起一丝罪恶之心,而是将它们视为功德。我为了调伏难调的众生,而修持无上菩提,因此,我应当首先从这开始息灭痛苦,如此以慈爱之心安住。 ༈ 此外,过去有一位外道仙人,名为忍力。他立誓说自己不会对众生生起嗔恨之心,那时,有一个名为罪恶意的魔鬼,心想破坏和阻止那位仙人的忍辱之法,于是派遣了一千个擅长辱骂的人,用粗暴的言语,不真实的指责,以及各种不应出口的恶语,在行住坐卧、饮食等一切时处,不断地辱骂他,持续了八万四千年。当那位仙人进入城镇时,人们用尿液倾倒在他的头和钵里,泼洒在他的身体和衣服上,用拂尘拍打他的头,但他心中没有嗔恨和怨恨,也不谈论别人所做的任何过错,没有用愤怒的眼神看,甚至没有说“我有什么错”这样的话,而是生起了慈爱之心。看到无法摧毁那位仙人的力量,他们生起了非常清净的念头,忏悔了自己的过错,并供养和服侍他。那时,他对他们也没有贪恋。相信了这样转变之后,他们忏悔罪过,跟随仙人忍力,发起了无上圆满菩提心,并将自己安立于佛法之中,他们都已先成佛并完全涅槃了。当时,派遣一千个擅长辱骂的勇士的魔鬼就是提婆达多。此外,对于诸如此类无法估量的损害,抱着“没什么大不了”的态度忍受,以及为了佛法而修行苦行,这些都从寻求佛法的章节中出现。以及以智慧忍受深奥的意义,这些都从智慧的章节中出现。以这些为例,应当理解忍辱是不可思议的彼岸。忍辱的章节。 ༈ 此外,过去发生过无数不可思议的劫

From observing those places with the yoga of loving-kindness, without generating even a single thought of fault, but viewing them as virtues. Since I am practicing unsurpassed enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings who are difficult to tame, I should first pacify suffering from this, and abide in a state of loving-kindness. ༈ Furthermore, in the past, there was a non-Buddhist ascetic named Strength of Patience. He took a vow, thinking, "I will not generate hatred towards sentient beings." At that time, a demon named Evil Intent thought to destroy and reverse the ascetic's dharma of patience, so he sent a thousand people skilled in abuse, using harsh words, falsely accusing and speaking, and various kinds of evil words that should not be uttered. They constantly abused him in all situations, such as walking, standing, sitting, lying down, eating, etc., for eighty-four thousand years. When the ascetic entered the town, people poured urine on his head and into his begging bowl, scattered it on his body and clothes, and struck his head with a dust cloth. However, he had no hatred or resentment in his mind, nor did he speak of any faults that others had done. He did not look with angry eyes, nor did he even say, "What fault do I have?" but generated a mind of loving-kindness. Seeing that they could not destroy the ascetic's strength, they generated a very pure thought, confessed their faults, and made offerings and served him. At that time, he had no attachment to them either. Believing in such a transformation, they confessed their sins, followed the ascetic Strength of Patience, generated the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, and established themselves in the Buddha's teachings. All of them had previously become Buddhas and completely passed into nirvana. At that time, the demon who sent a thousand brave men skilled in abuse was Devadatta. Furthermore, enduring immeasurable harm of that kind with the attitude of "it's nothing," and practicing austerities for the sake of the Dharma, these arise from the chapter on seeking the Dharma. And enduring the profound meaning with wisdom, these arise from the chapter on wisdom. Taking these as examples, one should understand that patience is an inconceivable perfection. The chapter on patience. ༈ Furthermore, in the past, countless inconceivable eons ago

那时,在名为“欢喜劫”中,于名为“寂静”的世界里,当如来名为“无垢显现”出世之时,那个佛土具备无量的安乐富饶,那时的人们的寿命是八万四千岁。在那里,有一位名叫“财吉祥”的王子,他容貌端正,因享乐而骄傲,不去那位佛陀那里,也不做侍奉。那位如来心想:这位财吉祥王子,如果他的善根成熟,有证得无上圆满菩提的机缘,但他贪恋享乐,傲慢自大,不来如来这里,如果不断地劝请他,或许会来如来这里。于是,他对八万四千位菩萨说:善男子,你们之中,谁能不厌倦地在八万四千年中,去财吉祥王子的家门口,舍弃一切安乐,接受一切痛苦,甚至连一句好话或真话,或者连一个座位都得不到,还要忍受责骂、恶语、粗语和不悦耳的话语,并且乐意接受呢?于是,他开始询问。当时,那八万四千位菩萨中,没有一个人愿意。那位世尊拿着询问的工具,问了两三次,也没有人接受。那时,我们的导师世尊,当时是名为“精进炽燃”的菩萨,他聚集在那群人中,从座位上站起来,将上衣披在肩上,右膝着地,向无垢显现佛合掌致敬,说道:世尊,我愿意在八万四千年中,毫不厌倦地舍弃一切安乐,毫不介意地接受一切痛苦,前往财吉祥王子的家中。他刚说完,三千大千世界就发生了六种震动。从上方的虚空中,成百上千的天子们也惊呼:奇哉!菩萨

At that time, in the kalpa called 'Joyful,' in the world called 'Peaceful,' when the Tathagata named 'Immaculate Appearance' appeared, that land was endowed with immeasurable happiness and prosperity, and the lifespan of the people at that time was eighty-four thousand years. There, there was a prince named 'Wealth Auspicious,' who was excellent in form and arrogant with the pleasures of enjoyment, and he did not go to that Buddha nor did he serve him. That Tathagata thought, 'If this Prince Wealth Auspicious has the opportunity to ripen his roots of virtue and attain unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, but he is attached to enjoyment and pleasure, and out of arrogance does not come to the Tathagata, if he is constantly urged, he might come to the Tathagata.' And he said to the eighty-four thousand Bodhisattvas, 'Noble sons, among you, who can go to the door of the house of the youth Wealth Auspicious for eighty-four thousand years without being weary, abandoning all happiness and accepting all suffering, and not even find a kind word or a true word, or even a seat, and endure scolding, evil words, harsh words, and unpleasant words, and be willing to accept it?' Then he began to inquire. At that time, not even one of the eighty-four thousand Bodhisattvas was willing. That Bhagavan took the tool of inquiry and asked two or three times, but no one accepted. At that time, our teacher, the Bhagavan, who was then the Bodhisattva named 'Burning with Diligence,' gathered in that assembly, stood up from his seat, draped his upper garment over his shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and bowed to the Buddha Immaculate Appearance with his palms joined, and said, 'Bhagavan, I am willing to go to the house of Prince Wealth Auspicious for eighty-four thousand years without being weary, abandoning all happiness and accepting all suffering without any concern.' As soon as he said this, the three thousand great thousand worlds shook in six ways. From the sky above, hundreds of thousands of sons of the gods also exclaimed, 'How wonderful! A Bodhisattva'

菩萨精进炽燃以大精进之铠甲披挂,此乃善哉善哉,作是加持。其后菩萨精进炽燃前往王子财护之家,于家之门前而住。彼为众多人众所见,遂作呵责,语诸粗恶之语,又以土石投掷于彼,复以手、杖、拳殴打之。虽见闻彼等所为,身受触受,然菩萨精进炽燃未生嗔怒、呵责、忿恨、退转之心,于其上更增精进坚固之力,具足大力,亦生大悲心。如是经历千年,入于王宫第一门房之中,虽受一切毁谤、恐吓、殴打,亦不生厌倦,如是经历万年,入于王宫第二门房之中。如是经历二万年,入于第三门,经历七万年,入于第六门房之中。经历八万四千年,入于王宫第七门房之中。其后王子财护始语之曰:比丘,汝欲何求?寻觅何物?汝有何求,但说无妨,我将尽力施予。王子对该比丘生起稀有之想,心想:彼能忍受如是之久而不生厌倦,真是稀有啊!其后大菩萨精进炽燃知王子财护已极清净,遂说:饮食、衣物、受用等,于我少年无所需求。远离愦闹之心而安住,我乃为法之使者而来此。利益世间之贤士已出现,名为无垢之人中胜。彼将宣说究竟解脱之法,凡有情听闻者,将获得不死之果。于千百万亿劫中,诸佛将百次出现于世。如今,照亮黑暗世界,具足殊胜功德者已诞生,汝于此处所欲

The Bodhisattva Zeal Ablaze donned the great armor of zeal, and this was blessed as "Excellent, excellent!" Then the Bodhisattva Zeal Ablaze went to the house of Prince Wealth Protector and stood at the gate of the house. A great crowd of people saw him and reviled him, speaking all kinds of harsh and evil words. They threw earth and stones at him, and beat him with their hands, sticks, and fists. Although he saw and heard these things, and felt them touching his body, the Bodhisattva Zeal Ablaze did not become agitated, revile, become angry, or turn away. On top of that, he greatly increased the power of his steadfast zeal, becoming greatly powerful, and also generated great compassion. Thus, after a thousand years, he entered the first gatehouse of the royal palace. Even with all the insults, threats, and beatings, he did not become weary. After ten thousand years, he entered the second gatehouse of the royal palace. After twenty thousand years, he entered the third gate, and after seventy thousand years, he entered the sixth gatehouse. After eighty-four thousand years, he entered the seventh gatehouse of the royal palace. Then, Prince Wealth Protector finally spoke to him, saying, "Bhikkhu, what do you want? What are you seeking? Tell me what you need, and I will give it to you to the best of my ability." The prince developed a sense of wonder towards the bhikkhu, thinking, "It is amazing how he can endure so much without becoming weary!" Then, the great Bodhisattva Zeal Ablaze, knowing that Prince Wealth Protector was very pure, said: "Food, drink, clothing, and sustenance, I, a youth, have no need for any of that. Having set aside a mind free from distraction, I have come here as a messenger of the Dharma. A great sage who benefits the world has appeared, called 'The Immaculate Best of Men.' He will teach the Dharma that leads to the end of suffering. Any sentient being who hears it will attain immortality. In countless billions of eons, Buddhas will appear in the world hundreds of times. Now, the one who has become a lamp in the dark world, the one who possesses excellent qualities, has been born. What do you desire here?

的功德。总是沉溺于色相和享受。像这样沉溺于快乐,沉溺于王位时,就不会去拜见法王。享受无常,王位和生命也一样。如世尊所说,犹如草尖上的露珠。因此,即使听闻了佛法也会沉溺,这不是王子您的品格。您应该在此进入殊胜菩提,也要关怀众生,使他们解脱。您现在成了欲望的奴隶,如何能以沉溺来调伏众生呢?舍弃傲慢,消除烦恼,现在就去佛陀那里吧。生起精进,慈悲世间。来世会感到痛苦的。然后王子听了这些偈颂,舍弃了傲慢,生起了极大的恭敬,向精进炽燃的足下顶礼,这样说道:请宽恕我以前所造成的伤害。我舍弃一切王位和欲望的享受。以远离傲慢的心,迅速前往善逝之处。这样说着,被八十俱胝的众生围绕着,手持鲜花、香和衣服,前往如来无垢显现之处,顶礼并供养,然后在佛前坐下祈请。因为无生之心所驱使,精进炽燃是我的导师怙主。既然他是应受供养的,我无法回报他的恩德。我向世间怙主请求宽恕。对于法王没有恭敬。今天我一一忏悔这些。世间怙主请知晓我的过错。为了众生的利益,生起慈悲之后,我进入殊胜菩提,在未获得殊胜菩提之前,以后不再做放逸的行为。这样祈请之后,王子舍弃了王位,被八十俱胝的众生围绕着,寻求殊胜菩提,并在佛陀的教法中出家了。如来也知晓他们的心意,开示了殊胜菩提之道,因此所有人都获得了随顺的忍辱。王子财吉祥

English

of qualities. Always intoxicated with forms and enjoyments. When intoxicated with pleasure like that, intoxicated with kingship, one will not come to see the King of Dharma. Enjoyments are impermanent, so are kingship and life. The Victorious One said they are like dew drops on the tip of a blade of grass. Therefore, even if one hears the Buddha, one becomes intoxicated. That is not your quality, prince. Here, you should enter the supreme enlightenment, and also care for sentient beings and liberate them. If you, the master, are now a slave to desire, how can you subdue beings with intoxication? Abandon pride and dispel afflictions. Now go to the presence of the Victorious One. Generate diligence and cherish the world. In the future, you will suffer. Then, having heard those verses, the prince abandoned pride, generated great reverence, prostrated at the feet of Diligence Ablaze, and said this: Please forgive the harm I have done before. I abandon all kingship and the enjoyment of desires. With a mind free from pride, I will quickly go to the presence of the Sugata. Saying this, surrounded by eighty kotis of beings, holding flowers, incense, and garments, he went to the presence of the Tathagata, who appears without stain, prostrated and made offerings, and sat before him and requested: Because I am urged by the unborn mind, Diligence Ablaze is my teacher and protector. Since he is worthy of offerings, I am unable to repay his kindness. I ask forgiveness from the protector of the world. I have not shown respect to the King of Dharma. Today, I confess all of these individually. World protector, know my faults. Having generated compassion for the sake of sentient beings, I will enter the supreme enlightenment, and until I attain the supreme enlightenment, I will not engage in careless conduct again. After requesting this, the prince abandoned the kingdom, and surrounded by eighty kotis of beings, sought the supreme enlightenment and became fully ordained in the teachings of the Victorious One. The Tathagata also knew their thoughts and taught the path of supreme enlightenment, so all of them attained the forbearance that accords with it. Prince Norpal.
