《解脱妙道如意宝藏》之附法白莲花。 《解脱妙道如意宝藏》之附法白莲花。 《解脱妙道如意宝藏》之附法白莲花名为住。 下篇。 又于往昔无量劫之彼岸，如来宝髻者之教法末期，国王天自在光如法治国之时，其国中有一商人名发髻，其为精通医方明及生命吠陀之医师，世尊即投生为其子，名童子降水。童子相貌端严，人见人爱，精通文字、算术、历算等一切论典。时有众多有情为种种疾病所困，痛苦不堪。我父精通医方明，然已年迈体衰，不能前往城镇等地。我当为救治彼等病人，从父学医而行医。如是恭敬顶礼其父，请问医方明，通达生命吠陀八支，前往国王自在光之国中所有城镇，自誓为救治一切为疾病所困有情之医师，使其等脱离种种疾病，如昔日般力气充沛，精进勇猛，皆大欢喜，行持善业，众人皆赞童子降水为医王，恭敬供养之。降水见一池塘中，有十万条鱼离水，心生悲悯。一树神言：予此等众生以水，汝之所为将与汝之名相符。降水四处寻水未果，遂折一大树枝，遮阴蔽日，继续寻水，见一恶人将河流改道至另一深渊，致使十万条鱼离水，此河纵千人亦难

The White Lotus, a supplementary teaching to "The Treasure Trove of Blessings, the Permitted Conduct". The White Lotus, a supplementary teaching to "The Treasure Trove of Blessings, the Permitted Conduct". This is called The White Lotus, a supplementary teaching to "The Treasure Trove of Blessings, the Permitted Conduct." Part Two. Furthermore, in the past, beyond countless eons, during the decline of the teachings of the Tathagata Jeweled Crown, when King Lha'i Wangchug Ö (God of Power, Light) ruled his kingdom according to Dharma, in his land, there was a merchant named Ralpa Dzin (Hair Knots Holder), a doctor skilled in medicine and knowledgeable in the science of life. The Blessed One took birth as his son, named Khye'u Chu Beb (Boy Water Bringer). That boy was handsome and pleasing to behold, and he became skilled in all treatises, including writing, arithmetic, and calculations. At that time, many sentient beings were afflicted by various diseases and suffered greatly. "My father is skilled in the science of medicine, but he is old and frail and cannot go to cities and other places. I will learn from my father and practice medicine to heal those sick people." With this thought, he respectfully bowed to his father and inquired about medicine. He mastered all eight branches of the science of life and went to all the towns in the land of King Wangchug Ö. He vowed to be a doctor to heal all sentient beings afflicted by diseases. By freeing them from various diseases, he restored their strength and diligence as before. Everyone was happy and engaged in virtuous deeds. Everyone praised Chu Beb as the king of medicine and showed him respect and honor. Chu Beb saw a hundred thousand fish in a pond separated from the water and felt compassion. A tree goddess said, "Give water to these creatures, and your actions will be in accordance with your name." Chu Beb searched for water in all directions but could not find it. He cut off a branch of a large tree and used it to provide shade. As he continued to search for water, he saw a wicked person diverting the stream that flowed with water to another great abyss, causing those hundred thousand fish to be separated from the water. Even a thousand people could not restore this stream to its former state.

如果不能引下来，我怎么办呢？这样想着就回去了。向国王自在光神礼拜后禀告说：我已治愈了此地所有病人的疾病。但有一处寺院，住着一万条鱼，离开了水，被太阳暴晒。为了给它们送水，请您赐予二十头大象。像这样请求后，国王就赐予了二十头大象。之后，商人的儿子水降，自己和儿子水衣，以及水的精华二者一同带领二十头大象，向象夫要了一百个牛皮囊，从名为水降的大河里打水装满，装在象背上，迅速前往寺院的水池，用水灌满。水降去哪里，那一万条鱼就奔向哪里观看。他心想：这些鱼是因为饥饿而乞讨食物吧。于是让自己的儿子水衣骑上一头跑得最快的大象，告诉自己家里的人说：家里有什么食物，赶快送来。像这样说了之后，家里人就带着食物来了。水降把食物撒开，投到水池里，使那一万条鱼都吃饱了。我以前从一位读大乘经典的僧人那里听到：谁在临死时听到如来宝髻的名字，就能往生善趣，生到天界。因此，我想为这些鱼宣讲甚深的缘起法，并称念宝髻佛的名号。当时，赡洲的众生，有些信仰大乘，有些则诽谤大乘。于是，水降在那水池里跪下，膝盖没入水中，特意大声说道：顶礼如来、应供、正等觉宝髻佛。之后，又宣讲了“此有故彼有，此生故彼生，如是无明缘行”等，以及“此无明灭故行灭”等，直到“如是大苦蕴灭”为止，然后回到了自己的家。之后，在另一个时候，水降童子吃了很多节日食物，喝醉了酒，躺在床上睡觉。

If I cannot bring it down, what shall I do? Thinking thus, he returned. He prostrated to the king, the Lord of Light, and reported: 'I have healed the diseases of all the sick people in this land. But there is a monastery where ten thousand fish live, separated from water and scorched by the sun. In order to bring water to them, please grant twenty elephants.' As he requested, the king granted twenty elephants. Then, the merchant's son, Water Descent, himself and his son Water Garment, together with the essence of water, led twenty elephants. He took a hundred cowhide bags from the elephant herders, filled them with water from the great river called Water Descent, loaded them on the elephants, and quickly went to the monastery's pond and filled it with water. Wherever Water Descent went, those ten thousand fish would run and watch. He thought: 'These fish are begging for food because they are hungry.' So he had his son Water Garment ride on one of the fastest elephants and told his family members: 'Whatever food there is in the house, quickly send it here.' As he said this, his family brought food. Water Descent scattered the food and threw it into the pond, satisfying the ten thousand fish. I had previously heard from a monk who read the Mahayana scriptures: 'Whoever hears the name of the Tathagata Jewel Crest at the time of death will be reborn in a good realm, in the world of the gods.' Therefore, I thought, I will also explain the profound Dharma of dependent origination to these fish, and recite the name of the Buddha Jewel Crest. At that time, some beings in Jambudvipa believed in the Mahayana, while others reviled it. Then, Water Descent knelt in the pond, his knees submerged in the water, and deliberately said loudly: 'I prostrate to the Tathagata, Arhat, Perfectly Enlightened Buddha Jewel Crest.' After that, he recited 'This being, that arises; this arising, that is born; thus, with ignorance as a condition, actions arise,' and so on, and 'This ignorance ceasing, actions cease,' and so on, until 'Thus, the great mass of suffering ceases,' and then returned to his home. Later, at another time, the boy Water Descent ate a lot of festival food, got drunk on wine, and lay down to sleep.

之后，那个时候出现了巨大的征兆，那个夜晚过去了。那时，一万条鱼死亡的时间到了，转生为三十三天之神。刚一出生，他们就想：我们以什么原因转生于此？想到在阎浮提洲的时候，商人的儿子水施以水和食物使它们满足，也宣说了缘起的法，还宣说了珍宝顶髻佛的名号，想到以这些原因和条件而转生于此。为了供养商人的儿子水施，那一万个天子从天界来到商人的家中。他们在床上睡觉，一万个珍珠放在头顶，一万个放在脚边，一万个放在右边，一万个放在左边。曼陀罗花的雨降到膝盖那么深。天上的乐器也被弹奏，整个阎浮提洲的人都醒了，水施童子也醒了。之后，那一万个天子升到空中，在国王自在天的其他地方也降下花雨，在寺庙的水池里也降下曼陀罗花的雨，消失不见，去了天界，享受着五欲的快乐和美好的命运。阎浮提洲天亮的时候，国王自在天问星算家和大臣们：这个巨大的征兆是从哪里来的？他们回答说：请天神明鉴。商人的儿子水施的家中降下了四万个珍珠和曼陀罗花的雨。国王对大臣们说：你们今天用水施这个好听的名字去召唤他。正如他们所做的那样，他来了。儿子水施，昨晚的征兆是什么征兆？他回答说：天神，我知道，那一万条鱼一定是死亡的时间到了。国王说：你怎么知道的？水施说：请允许我去看看水池。国王就那样命令了。看到一万条鱼死了，曼陀罗花的雨降在水池里，回来后说了那样的情况。水施向国王详细地讲述了那个故事，国王很高兴和满意。那时，商

After that, at that time, great omens occurred, and that night passed. At that time, the time for ten thousand fish to die arrived, and they were reborn as gods of the Thirty-Three Heavens. As soon as they were born, they thought: By what cause were we born here? Thinking that when they were in Jambudvipa, the merchant's son Water Offering satisfied them with water and food, and also proclaimed the Dharma of dependent origination, and also proclaimed the name of the Buddha Jewel Crest, they thought that they were born here because of these causes and conditions. In order to make offerings to the merchant's son Water Offering, those ten thousand sons of gods came from the heavenly realm to the merchant's house. They were sleeping in bed, ten thousand pearls were placed at the head, ten thousand were placed at the feet, ten thousand were placed on the right side, and ten thousand were placed on the left side. The rain of Mandarava flowers fell to the depth of the knees. The heavenly musical instruments were also played, and all the people of Jambudvipa woke up, and the boy Water Offering also woke up. After that, those ten thousand sons of gods rose into the sky, and in other places of the King of Gods' realm, they also rained down flowers, and in the pond of the monastery, they also rained down Mandarava flowers, disappeared, went to the heavenly realm, and experienced the joy of the five desires and good fortune. When dawn broke in Jambudvipa, the King of Gods, Lord of Light, asked the astrologers and ministers: From where did this great omen come? They replied: May the gods know. Four ten thousand pearls and rain of Mandarava flowers fell in the house of the merchant's son Water Offering. The king said to the ministers: You should call Water Offering by that pleasant name today. As they did so, he came. Son Water Offering, what is the omen of last night? He replied: Gods, I know that the time for those ten thousand fish to die must have arrived. The king said: How do you know? Water Offering said: Please allow me to go and see the pond. The king ordered it that way. Seeing that ten thousand fish had died and the rain of Mandarava flowers had fallen in the pond, he returned and told of that situation. Water Offering told the king the story in detail, and the king was very happy and satisfied. At that time, the merchan

The attendant who holds the hair is King Śuddhodana, and the king named "Light of the Lord of Gods" is Śākya holding a club. The wife who draws water, named "Essence of the Water Lotus," is the Śākya's daughter, Earth Mother. The boy named "Water Garment" is Rāhula, and the boy named "Water Essence" is Ānanda. Fish Thousand and others, the thousand sons of gods, including the king with the special radiance that is now blazing, were prophesied to attain unsurpassed enlightenment. Thus he spoke. Furthermore, in the past, in the teachings of the Buddha named "Fearless King," the Blessed One himself became a son of a Brahmin, sharp in wisdom, upholding the five precepts, and a holder of the Dharma. In a fearful direction, he traveled with five hundred companions, and in that direction, five hundred wild men who gathered guests also resided. One of the wild men was friendly and acquainted with that Brahmin from the past, and he said, "Tonight, in the first half of the night, enemies will come, so do not speak and think of a way to escape." If that Brahmin told this to his friends, this man would be killed, and they would fall into the lower realms. If he did not speak, the wild men would kill these people, and they would fall into the lower realms, so he was extremely distressed, not knowing what to do. Then he thought, "It is easy for me to fall into the lower realms," so he drew his sword and killed the man who informed him, thus making his friends happy. The friends said to the Brahmin's son, "You are virtuous and supreme among men, why do you do such evil?" The Brahmin said, "Today I have committed a great evil, but that is for the benefit of sentient beings and to make my friends happy. This one I killed is your enemy, and it is easy for me to fall into hell." The five hundred friends said, "Because we have obtained our lives, you have endured the suffering of the three lower realms, we must remember this heavy kindness," and they urged him to generate the mind of enlightenment, so all of them generated the mind of unsurpassed enlightenment. The five hundred wild men also spoke to the Brahmin as before, "I knew long ago that you were here, but I did not tell anyone, I did not inform the king, friends."
