Da. Having heard the good teachings, I understood the truth as it is. I have thoroughly explained the unborn. Thus he spoke. Therefore, in order to benefit all beings, I requested. Therefore, the great Bodhisattva, wishing to benefit all sentient beings, should be skilled in meditation. One should be skilled in the arising of meditation. Those roots of virtue that know arising, that know all arising, and any roots of virtue that are truly accumulated, should be extremely placed. They should be extremely grasped. Thus he spoke. ༈. Again, in the past, when the Blessed One was incarnated as a minister of the King of Kashi, named Spotted Eye. He was skilled in all the teachings, and possessed excellent qualities such as steadfastness and gentleness. He taught the assembly of people what to accept and reject, and became like a teacher. However, in order to eliminate the faults that displeased the King of Kashi, he spoke to the king in a secluded place: "O deity, what faults of other kings, such as the noble-bodied king, cannot be well changed? The faults of drinking alcohol, such as becoming angry, crying, and speaking nonsense after drinking, and becoming the cause of various diseases; the faults of gambling, such as becoming mentally disturbed by the fear of victory and defeat after being attached, losing meaning, and becoming ill from suppressing sleep and urination; snakes, flesh flies, heat, cold, hunger, thirst, fatigue, etc., as well as falling from a horse on the road, encountering the fear of enemies, etc., and the extremely unpleasant and base actions, the faults of hunting; and the loss of the power of autonomy, the great darkness of sin, the fire of desire burning oneself, and being overly attached to women is the suffering of humans, and faults such as harsh words that generate malice like flesh-eating demons, will exhaust the glory of the rulers. Therefore, if one can restrain the senses and abide in the right way, then all the glory of the steadfast will increase." The king replied: "Although I cannot restrain the senses like you, in order to preserve your face, the beneficial advice of teachers like you should not be transgressed." The Bodhisattva went to his own house and again with the consorts.

于是进入了森林。在那里，夜晚的时候，国王沉溺于歌舞和酒中，一些大臣因为月官的大臣的权势而嫉妒，对国王说：“听说这个月官与身生的国王勾结，为了摧毁天神的王位而努力。请您小心提防。” 愚昧无知的国王没有仔细考虑，对菩萨很不满意。菩萨也对那些说这件事是真实的人说：“像蛇一样天性恶毒的人，无缘无故地让国王对我发怒。像我这样的人，处在这些恶人之中该怎么办呢？我应该去往远离罪恶，自由自在，与善行相应的森林。” 于是，他像丢弃草一样丢弃了家里的财产和亲戚，在寂静的森林里苦修，获得了四禅和五神通。某天，迦尸国的国王乘坐马车，带着装备精良的军队，进入了菩萨居住的森林去狩猎。菩萨知道他来了，心想：“我应该把这个喜欢罪恶的国王从邪路上引回来，让他走上正道。” 就在那一瞬间，他用神通变幻出了一支可怕的军队，这支军队拥有四种军力，装备坚固的盔甲和各种武器，擂鼓、吹号，人们的喧嚣声仿佛能震动山岳，这支军队就是身生国王的军队。迦尸国的国王看到后非常害怕，心想：“我应该向谁寻求庇护呢？” 他又想：“伟大的月官住在这片森林里，他一定会用苦修的力量保护我的。” 于是，他对驾车的人说：“月官住在哪里？把马车赶到那里去。” 菩萨对他说：“请进。” 于是国王就在他的草垫上坐了下来。这时，那支军队也消失了。国王问：“敌人的军队到哪里去了？” 菩萨说：“国王，为了调伏你，我才展示了神通的力量。

是故，此乃教示自主之理。此处没有身相庄严之国王军队。其他大国王，不仅有敌人的怖畏，而且王政过患甚多，安乐少，最终怖畏大，会堕入地狱等恶趣，因此舍弃王政，你当于寂静之森林处出家，如是宣说欲之过患，以及背离欲之功德法，国王因此信彼之神通力，且悦于教法，遂即将所有饰品交还驭者，自己则于菩萨处出家。依菩萨之口诀，调伏诸根，行持苦行，次第获得禅定之心，安住于极度寂静之安乐。驭者等至城市时，众人以骚动之心询问国王在何处，答言：已于具眼者前出家。对此，王妃等所有国王眷属皆作哀号。其后，众大臣止息哀伤，为长子举行灌顶，使其即位为王。如是，若具禅定，则能获得神通。以此欲调伏之有情，并为其宣说佛法，故当敬菩萨之功德处。༈ 又，往昔之时，世尊曾化身为一森林中精通一切论典，且能引导众多弟子之苦行者。于树叶围成的处所禅修而住。其时，因久旱无雨，草木枯萎，苦行者们身体羸弱，欲前往城市。菩萨遂宣说城市之过患，说道：暂且享用我所拥有的食物，之后也当在此取食，切莫舍弃此森林。其后，当食物耗尽之时，苦行者们聚集于彼处。菩萨手持土制钵器，以神通力瞬间前往北方之不悦意处，取回如甘露般美味之食物，并布施之，令所有苦行者皆欢喜且充满活力。如是日日布施食物，且

Therefore, this teaches the principle of self-mastery. Here, there is no army of a king adorned with physical form. Other great kings not only have the fear of enemies, but also the faults of kingship are many, happiness is little, and ultimately the fear is great, leading to falling into evil realms such as hell. Therefore, abandon kingship, and you should renounce in a peaceful forest place. Thus, he explained the faults of desire and the qualities of the Dharma that turns away from desire. The king, therefore, had faith in his miraculous power and was pleased with the teachings. He immediately returned all the ornaments to the charioteer, and he himself renounced at the feet of the Bodhisattva. Relying on the Bodhisattva's instructions, he subdued his senses, practiced austerities, gradually attained the mind of meditation, and dwelt in the bliss of supreme peace. When the charioteer and others went to the city, the people asked with agitated minds where the king was. They replied, "He has renounced in the presence of the one with eyes." To this, the queen and all the king's retinue wailed. Thereafter, the ministers stopped the mourning and performed the enthronement ceremony for the eldest son, making him king. Thus, if one possesses meditation, one will attain miraculous powers. By this, he tames the beings to be tamed and teaches them the Dharma. Therefore, one should respect the place of the Bodhisattva's qualities. ༈ Furthermore, in a past life, the Bhagavan himself transformed into an ascetic in a forest, who was skilled in all treatises and guided a multitude of disciples. He meditated and resided in a place surrounded by leaves. At that time, due to a long drought, the plants and trees withered, and the ascetics became emaciated and desired to go to the city. The Bodhisattva then spoke of the faults of the city, saying, "For a while, partake of whatever food I have, and afterwards, also take food from here, and do not abandon this forest." Thereafter, when the food was exhausted, the ascetics gathered there. The Bodhisattva, holding an earthen begging bowl, went by miraculous power in an instant to a disagreeable place in the north, took back food as delicious as nectar, and gave it, causing all the ascetics to be joyful and full of energy. Thus, he gave food every day, and

然后，他以不被我所欲念的分别念所迷惑的真实之语说：“天神降雨吧！”话音刚落，大雨倾盆而下，使所有的谷物、果实和树木都繁荣生长，让所有人都感到满意。他对他们宣讲佛法，使他们从邪道中解脱出来，安置在正道上。他们赞叹那位伟人说：“您先前以物质的布施，后来又以佛法的布施，必定使我们进入了善道。”然后他们开始禅定。 ༈ 另外，在过去，在梵施国王的领土上，在波罗奈斯的森林里，世尊自己转生为五百苦行者的首领，一位仙人。由于他的慈爱，居住在那片森林里的所有人都彼此友爱，和平相处。在那里，一位苦行者因风病而变得虚弱，他渴望王位的想法被他用天眼看到了。他问他得了什么病，又说：“这个苦行森林的树根等物无法平息风病，需要牲畜的肉汤。”他自己幻化出一头牲畜，说：“宰杀这头牲畜，喝肉汤吧。”那人说：“堪布，这与佛法相悖，苦行者不应该杀生。”菩萨说：“仅仅为了自己的生命，都不忍心慈悲地宰杀牲畜来吃肉，如果你当了国王，宰杀牲畜，甚至用武器摧毁无辜的野生动物，难道就不违背佛法了吗？那时你的慈悲在哪里？因此，不要贪恋作为诸多过失和痛苦之根源的王位。”他讲述了心被玷污的自己再次在地狱等恶道中遭受痛苦的情形。那人赞叹说：“堪布您知道我的想法。”并从那个想法中解脱出来，再次说道：“我如何才能摆脱对苦行女人的迷恋呢？”他说：“女人的眼睛、肢体、脸庞等看起来美丽的事物，也会因衰老而变得令人厌恶，是变坏和不洁的本性。即使这样，人们也不会

Then, with truthful words uncorrupted by my desired conceptualizations, he said, "Let the lord of the gods send down rain!" As soon as he spoke, a great rain fell, causing all grains, fruits, and trees to flourish, making everyone content. He gave them Dharma talks, turning them away from evil paths and establishing them on the right path. They praised that great being, saying, "You have surely placed us in goodness, first with material generosity and later with the generosity of the Dharma." And they began to meditate. ༈ Furthermore, in the past, in the land of King Brahma-given, in the forest of Varanasi, the Blessed One himself was born as the leader of five hundred ascetics, a sage. Through the power of his loving-kindness, all who dwelt in that forest lived in mutual friendship and without harm. There, one ascetic, emaciated by a wind disease, whose thought was for kingship, he saw with his divine eye. He asked him what kind of illness he had and further said, "The roots and so forth of this ascetic forest cannot pacify the wind disease, so the broth of livestock meat is needed." He himself conjured up a livestock, saying, "Slaughter this and drink the meat broth." Then he said, "Khenpo, this is contrary to the Dharma, it is not proper for ascetics to sustain themselves by killing sentient beings." The Bodhisattva said, "If you do not even eat the meat of a single livestock killed out of compassion for your own life, when you become king, will it not be contrary to the Dharma if you kill livestock and even destroy innocent wild animals with weapons? Where will your compassion be at that time? Therefore, do not rejoice in kingship, which is the root of many faults and sufferings." He spoke of how he, whose mind had become defiled, would again experience suffering in the lower realms and so forth. Then he praised, saying, "Khenpo, you know my thoughts," and turning away from that thought, he said again, "How shall I deal with this mind that is distracted by the realm of ascetic women?" He said, "The eyes, limbs, faces, and other things of women that appear beautiful will also become undesirable with age, being of a nature that is decaying and impure. Even so, people do not

由于他以诸有知者因贪执而获得极多痛苦的方式宣说佛法，那位苦行者便去了其他寺院，通过上师的教诲，获得了四禅和五神通，之后又返回，以赞颂和感恩之词赞美了那位大士。 再次，过去世，净施国王的侍者被盗施所生的儿子，名为盗施子和盗施顶的兄弟二人，前往森林获得了五神通，并以神变在空中行走，国王等所有人都供养他们。 一次，国王去了其他地方，国王的女儿侍奉他们二人时，盗施顶被贪执的行为所迷惑，行了不净行，失去了神通。他的哥哥盗施子住在森林里，得知此事后，将他带回自己的住所，使他再次具备四禅和五神通。 其中，盗施子就是世尊本人，盗施顶是黑象。也就是说，出家人被自己的妻子用计迷惑，再次还俗。世尊再次将他带走，让他出家并证得阿罗汉果。 再次，在过去无量劫的更久远的过去，世尊本人成为名为救护一切国王的国王时，他有六万八千位妃子，她们都像天女一样，像母亲一样慈爱、恭敬和顺从，具备功德。他安住在她们之中，圆满了四禅，并从四禅的等持中起身。由于众生极度贪执五欲，造作恶业，因此会堕入三恶道。即使转生为天人和人类，也会寿命短促等等。此外，他还看到众生长寿和短寿、种姓高贵和低贱、威势强大和弱小、受用丰厚和匮乏、智慧高超和低下、努力追求常法和努力背离常法等等。他心想：这条道路与地方不相符，我应当引导这些众生进入现证菩提的道路。

Because he taught the Dharma in the manner that all those with knowledge obtain extremely much suffering from attachment, that ascetic went to another monastery. Through the instructions of his lama, he attained the four dhyanas and five superknowledges, and then returned and praised that great being with words of praise and gratitude. Furthermore, in the past, the two brothers, sons given by Robbery to the attendant of King Pure Giving, named Robbery Son and Robbery Peak, went to the forest and attained the five superknowledges. They traveled in the sky by means of miraculous powers, and were worshiped by all beings, including the king. Once, when the king had gone elsewhere, the king's daughter served the two of them. Robbery Peak was deceived by the act of attachment and engaged in sexual conduct, and his miraculous powers declined. His elder brother, Robbery Son, dwelling in the forest, knew of this and brought him back to his own abode, and again made him possess the four dhyanas and five superknowledges. Of these, Robbery Son was the Blessed One himself, and Robbery Peak was the Black Elephant. That is, the ordained one was deceived by his own wife by means of a trick and again returned to lay life. The Blessed One again took him away, ordained him, and caused him to attain the state of an arhat. Again, in the past, in a time beyond countless eons, the Blessed One himself, when he became a king named "Protector of All Kings," had sixty-eight thousand consorts. All of them were like goddesses, loving like mothers, respectful, and obedient, possessing qualities. While dwelling among them, he perfected up to the fourth dhyana, and having arisen from equipoise in the fourth dhyana, he saw that sentient beings were born in the three lower realms because they were extremely attached to the five objects of desire and committed sinful deeds. Even when they became gods and humans, they would experience short lives and so forth. Furthermore, he also saw that some sentient beings had long lives and others short lives, some had high birth and others low birth, some had great glory and others little glory, some had great wealth and others little wealth, some had great wisdom and others little wisdom, some strove for what is constant and others strove to turn away from what is constant. Then he thought to himself: "This path is not in harmony with the land. I shall lead these beings onto the path of perfect enlightenment."
