人们以清净的戒律为庄严，我若拥有这些，便发起殊胜的祈愿。帝释天说道：你在此也说得很好，成为了珍宝的来源。此外，你所祈愿的一切都将如你所愿。对于这善说，我也将赠予你殊胜的礼物。菩提萨埵说道：您是众天之尊，若您赐予我利益的殊胜礼物，我向您祈愿，为了明确起见，以后请您不要再光临我处。帝释天听后，既惊奇又惭愧地说道：暂时来说，那些念诵和进行苦行的修行者们，都希望与我保持一致。我本想赐予你殊胜的礼物才来的，你为何不愿意见到我呢？菩提萨埵说道：这并非是不恭敬或不尊重，也不是我不愿意见您。而是因为见到像您这样殊胜的天人，如果住在喧嚣之中，虽然您寂静而清净，但我担心我的苦行会因此衰退。说完，帝释天向他顶礼并绕行，然后消失了。之后，天亮时，帝释天准备的各种天食，以及帝释天迎请的数百位独觉佛，还有许多准备前来供养的年轻天子，菩提萨埵见到后，便对那些伟大的仙人们进行了供养。如此，即使住在苦行的园林中，乐于布施也成为了一种庄严。像这样，不贪著食物，甚至不愿意见到天界的统治者，更何况是其他的集会呢？因此，应该明白，像这样乐于远离喧嚣，才能成就禅定。༈ 再次，往昔世尊曾转生为一个伟大、富有的国王的儿子。由于国王之前的儿子们出生后都夭折了，他认为这是非人造成的危害，为了保护这个儿子，便将他安置在用珍宝装饰的铁屋中，并进行了源自吠陀的保护和吉祥的仪式，因此得救，并被命名为铁屋者。他出

People are adorned with pure discipline, and if I possess these, I make the supreme aspiration. Indra said: Here too, you have spoken well, becoming a source of jewels. Moreover, all that you have aspired will come to pass as you wish. For this well-spoken word, I will also grant you a supreme gift. The Bodhisattva said: You are the supreme among all the gods, if you grant me a supreme gift that will benefit me, I aspire to you that, to be clear, you will not come to my presence again in the future. Having said this, Indra, astonished and ashamed, said: For the time being, those who recite and practice asceticism desire to be in harmony with me. I came desiring to grant you a supreme gift, why do you not wish to see me in that way? The Bodhisattva said: This is not a matter of disrespect or irreverence, nor is it that I do not wish to meet you. But seeing a supreme divine form like you, if I dwell in busyness, although you are peaceful and pure, I fear that my asceticism will decline because of it. Having said this, Indra prostrated to him, circumambulated him, and then disappeared. Then, when dawn broke, the Bodhisattva saw the various divine foods prepared by Indra, the hundreds of Pratyekabuddhas invited by Indra, and the many young sons of the gods who were preparing to come to offer alms, and he made offerings to those great sages. Thus, even dwelling in a grove of asceticism, delighting in generosity becomes an adornment. In this way, not being attached to food, and not even wanting to see the lord of the gods, what need is there to mention other gatherings? Therefore, it should be understood that delighting in solitude in this way is how meditation is accomplished. ༈ Again, in a previous life, the Blessed One himself was born as the son of a great and wealthy king. Because the king's previous sons had all died after birth, he thought that this was harm caused by non-humans, and in order to protect this son, he placed him in an iron house adorned with precious jewels, and performed protective and auspicious rituals derived from the Vedas, and thus he was saved and named Iron House Dweller. He was

在土地上的時候，那一方的人們也安樂，而且形貌悅意，以慈悲和智慧等功德，使一切人們的心都非常歡喜，並且以福德的力量，嬉戲於與天人的富裕相等的盛大慶典之中安住。在睡蓮花慶典的時候，乘坐以珍寶和各種綢緞的裝飾以及幡幢的陳設所莊嚴，由駿馬所牽引的精美車乘，與以衣飾和珍寶所莊嚴的眾多侍從一起，敲打著樂器而行進。人們觀看著那位王子，感到驚奇，並致以吉祥的祝願而歡喜。由於先前習慣的力量，看到眾多慶典的景象，他心中這樣想：唉呀！世間真苦惱！處於不穩定且令人不悅的狀態。這睡蓮花的榮華，也終將變得不穩定。像這樣安住的眾生，竟然沒有人感到恐懼，真是太奇怪了！一切道路都被死主所阻斷，卻毫無顧忌地盡情享樂。衰老、疾病和死亡這些損害的敵人，擁有強大的、不可估量的力量，明明存在著。如果來世注定要走向痛苦，那麼有哪個有知覺的心會對此感到快樂呢？巨大的雲朵，閃爍著像金鏈一樣的閃電，以及巨大海洋的聲音，降下大雨的巨大行動，即使聚集在一起，最終也會消散。像這樣，觀察到器情世界無常的本性，對那些景象不再感到喜悅，於是返回自己的住所。向父王請求前往苦行的森林。國王因為疼愛兒子而非常不高興，說：我們為什麼要捨棄唯一的兒子呢？你是否對我有所懷疑或產生了錯覺？或者有其他的危害？說出來，我會設法阻止它。菩提薩埵說：我對您充滿愛意，怎麼會對您產生懷疑呢？也沒有其他的危害。我因為害怕死亡，所以才這樣想。為了無論如何都無法阻止死亡，所以……等等，詳細地闡述了死亡的各種過患。

Even when on land, the people of that region were happy and had pleasing appearances. With virtues such as compassion and intelligence, they made all beings very happy, and by the power of merit, they dwelt enjoying great festivals equal to the wealth of the gods. During the festival of the lotus flower, he rode in a fine chariot adorned with jewels and various silks, and decorated with banners, drawn by excellent horses. Accompanied by many attendants adorned with clothes and jewels, he went forth while the musical instruments were being played. The people looked at the prince, marveling and uttering auspicious wishes, and were joyful. Due to the force of previous habit, seeing many aspects of the festival, he thought to himself: Alas! The world is afflicted! Its state is unstable and unpleasant. Even this splendor of the lotus flower will become impermanent. How strange that beings who dwell in such a state do not feel fear! All paths are blocked by the Lord of Death, yet they enjoy themselves without any apprehension. Old age, sickness, and death, the enemies that cause harm, exist with great and immeasurable power. If the next world is destined to be filled with suffering, how can any conscious mind feel joy in this? Great clouds, lightning flashing like golden chains, and the sound of the great oceans, the great act of pouring down heavy rain, even when gathered together, will eventually dissipate. In this way, observing the impermanent nature of the container and its contents, he no longer felt joy in those sights, and returned to his own dwelling. He requested his father, the king, to go to the forest of asceticism. The king, loving his son, was very displeased and said: Why should we abandon our only son? Do you doubt me or have a delusion? Or is there any other harm? Tell me, and I will try to prevent it. The Bodhisattva said: I am full of love for you, how could I have doubts about you? There is no other harm either. I am afraid of death, so I thought in this way. Because there is no way to prevent death, therefore... etc., he elaborated in detail on the various faults of death.

因此，国王说：“如果这样死亡的恐惧无法避免，那么完全接受佛法并前往森林又有什么用呢？死亡之主不会来到你的森林吗？那些正直且安住于佛法的人不会在森林中死去吗？如果一切都这样死去，那么离开家前往森林也没有用处。”菩萨说：“住在森林和家里，作恶和行善，所有死亡都是一样的。但在森林里可以修行佛法，修行佛法的人即使死了也不会有悲伤的痛苦，死后也会去好的地方。在家里，由于积累了许多过错，修行佛法也很困难，如果做了不符合佛法的事情，死的时候会产生巨大的悲伤，死后也会堕入恶道。”国王听了这些详细的讲述后，也同意了，像抛弃草一样抛弃了令人向往的王位财富，住在苦行的森林里，修习了四禅定和四无量心，并将世间人也安置于此，寿命终结时，便转生到了梵天世界。因此，禅定的心是不执着于欲望的道路所成就的。因此，应当乐于追随不执着且独自住在寂静处的禅定。༈ 另外，在过去的时候，这位世尊曾是婆罗门种姓的大人物，受到国王的尊敬，财富巨大，世间人像对待天神一样敬爱他。他举行各种仪式，拥有广博的学识和博学的名声。由于过去习惯的力量，他不喜爱家庭，想要出家到森林里，于是剃了头发，穿上袈裟，出家的时候，他的妻子也出家了。他的妻子也想跟随他，但他对她说：“你无法在苦行的森林里待下去，最好和住在其他地方的出家女子一起生活。”这样说了三次，但她因为对他非常依恋，还是跟随了他。他们逐渐来到一个令人愉悦的寂静森林，在那里安顿下来并进行禅修。一天下午，菩萨正在编织草席，那个女子也在离他不远的地方，身体的光芒像天女一样闪耀。

Therefore, the king said, "If the fear of death cannot be avoided in this way, then what is the use of fully embracing the Dharma and going to the forest? Will the Lord of Death not come to your forest? Do those who are upright and abide in the Dharma not die in the forest? If everything dies like this, then leaving home and going to the forest is of no use." The Bodhisattva said, "Although dwelling in the forest and at home, doing evil and practicing Dharma, all deaths are the same, it is possible to practice Dharma in the forest. Even if those who practice Dharma die, they will not experience the suffering of sorrow, and after death, they will go to a good place. At home, it is difficult to practice Dharma because of the accumulation of many faults, and if one does things that are not in accordance with the Dharma, great sorrow will arise at the time of death, and after death, one will fall into evil realms." After the king heard these detailed accounts, he also agreed, abandoning the desirable wealth of the kingdom like discarding grass, and dwelling in the forest of asceticism, he cultivated the four meditations and the four immeasurables, and also placed worldly beings in them. When his life came to an end, he was born in the world of Brahma. Therefore, the mind of meditation is accomplished by the path of non-attachment to the qualities of desire. Therefore, one should be inclined to follow the meditation of non-attachment and dwelling alone in solitude. ༈ Furthermore, in the past, this Blessed One was a great man of the Brahmin caste, revered by the king, with great wealth, and worldly people loved him like a god. He performed various rituals and possessed vast knowledge and a reputation for being learned. Due to the power of past habits, he did not like the household life and wanted to renounce and go to the forest. So, he shaved his head, put on saffron robes, and when he renounced, his wife also renounced. His wife also wanted to follow him, but he said to her, "You will not be able to stay in the forest of asceticism. It is better to live together with other ordained women somewhere else." He said this three times, but because she was very attached to him, she followed him anyway. Gradually, they came to a pleasant and secluded forest, where they settled down and meditated. One afternoon, the Bodhisattva was weaving a mat, and the woman was not far from him, her body's radiance shining like a goddess.

并且，如所教导的用心之诀窍般地禅修着。之后，那个地方的国王在春季时于那片森林游逛，来到菩萨处，说了些高兴的话，并在附近一处坐下。他见到那个女子后，心生爱慕，心想：即使这是他的妻子，也要抢过来。于是试探他是否具有苦行的功德之力，心想：如果具有的话，就不能轻侮。如果是一个被情欲所控制的众生，那肯定没有苦行之力。如果是一个离欲之人，那就不应该看她。于是对菩萨说：唉，出家人，你，在这个世间，狡诈和欺凌之人非常多。在这寂静的森林里，如果你的妻子被他人侵扰，该怎么办？如果生起嗔怒，那就与佛法相违，为何不把她安置在村庄里？菩萨说：国王说了很多，如果真的那样，请听听我该怎么做。如果因骄慢自满而不加审视，有人在此加害于我，就像浓厚的尘土被雨水压制一样，我活着也不会放过他。说完后，那个国王心想：这个人对妻子非常爱恋，肯定没有苦行之力，于是轻侮他，并开始将那个女子带到国王的宫殿。那个女子大声哭泣，朝着丈夫的方向哀嚎，被放在马车上带走，菩萨虽然看到了，但以分别观察之力平息了嗔怒，内心不为所动，缝制着擦拭用具的布片。这时，国王说：你之前说我活着也不会放过他，现在我抢走你的妻子，你却无力屈服，这算什么？展示你的力量吧！如果不是这样，那就是不自量力的无意义誓言。菩萨说：国王，我不会让我的誓言落空，请您知晓。任何加害于我的人，即使逃走，我也不会放过。我也会让他当面息灭。因此，我会如我所誓言般行事。

And, he meditated as instructed in the essential points of mindfulness. Then, the king of that country, while wandering in that forest during springtime, came to the Bodhisattva, exchanged pleasantries, and sat down nearby. When he saw the woman, he became enamored and thought, "Even if she is his wife, I will seize her." So, he tested whether he possessed the power of asceticism. He thought, "If he does, I must not despise him." If he were a being controlled by desire, he would certainly have no power of asceticism. If he were free from desire, he would not look at her. So, he said to the Bodhisattva, "O renunciant, there are many deceitful and oppressive people in this world. What will you do if your wife is harassed by others in this secluded forest? If you generate anger, it contradicts the Dharma, so why not keep her in a village?" The Bodhisattva said, "King, you have said much. If that happens, listen to what I will do. If someone, arrogant with pride, harms me without examination, like thick dust suppressed by rain, I will not let him go while I am alive." When he said this, the king thought, "This man is very attached to his wife and has no power of asceticism." So, he despised him and began to take the woman to the king's palace. The woman cried loudly, lamented towards her husband, and was placed on a chariot and taken away. Although the Bodhisattva saw this, he subdued his anger with the power of discernment and remained undisturbed, sewing the cloth for wiping. Then the king said, "You said earlier that you would not let him go while you were alive. Now, when I seize your wife, you are powerless and subdued. What is the use? Show your power! If not, your boast is a meaningless claim of not knowing your own limits." The Bodhisattva said, "King, I will not make my vow meaningless. Please know this. Whoever harms me, even if they flee, I will not let them go. I will also pacify them openly. Therefore, I will act as I have vowed."
