当他们到达伞盖的高度时,那个人散布鲜花,而蛇则以虔诚的心情注视着他。僧侣们完成食物的准备后,为蛇说法,蛇非常高兴,并供奉了六个金瓶。那时,蛇去世后,凭借其功德转生为三十三天之神。佛陀说:那时,拿着毒蛇的人就是世尊本人。又,在过去,在吉祥的雪山之中,在一个药材丰富的繁茂森林里,有一只猴王,他住在一棵巨大的榕树旁,那棵树像浓密的云彩一样,结满了美味而芬芳的果实。树的一根树枝伸向从山谷流下的水中。当许多猴子一起吃树上的果实时,猴王会留意身后,告诫猴群说:不要吃光这根树枝上的果实,也不要摘其他树枝上的果实。它们也照此行事。过了一段时间,当朋友们收集树叶时,一棵尚未成熟且不太大的果实被遮盖住了,猴子们没有看见。后来,它逐渐长大,变得色香味俱全。由于成熟,果柄脱落,掉入水中。果实逐渐漂流到一位国王和他的妃嫔们在水中嬉戏的地方,被一个宽阔的河岸环绕。果实的香味压倒了妃嫔们沐浴时使用的所有香料的气味。他们闻到香味,四处寻找,发现了那个果实,于是都聚集在那里,研究这是什么。国王尝了尝果实,觉得非常美味,便产生了贪恋之心。他心想:吃到这种果实,即使不治理国家,也像是国王一样。他想:在这条河的上游不远处,一定有一棵好树,这果实一定是从那棵树上掉下来的,而且这果实一定还新鲜,色香味俱全。于是,他率领军队,沿着河岸进入了茂密的森林。他看见了那棵树王,便走了过去。当他看见成百上千的猴子在吃树上的果实时,非常生气,说道:抓住这些家伙!于是人们用武器和

When they reached the height of the umbrella, that person scattered flowers, and the serpent gazed at him with a faithful mind. After the monks had finished preparing the food, they preached the Dharma to the serpent, who was delighted and offered six golden vases. At that time, the serpent passed away and, by that merit, was reborn as a god of the Thirty-Three. The Buddha said: "At that time, the person holding the venomous serpent was the Bhagavan himself." Furthermore, in the past, in the midst of the auspicious snow mountains, in a lush forest rich in medicinal herbs, there was a monkey king who lived near a great Nyagrodha tree, which was like a dense cloud, possessing excellent and fragrant fruits. One branch of that tree extended into the water flowing from the valley. When many monkeys together ate the fruits of that tree, the monkey king would watch behind them, admonishing the monkey troop, saying: "Do not eat all the fruits on this branch of the tree, nor pluck the fruits of other branches." And they did accordingly. After some time, a fruit on that branch, which was not yet ripe and not very large, was covered by the friends gathering the leaves of the tree, and the serving monkeys did not see it. Later, it gradually grew, becoming excellent in color, fragrance, and taste. Due to ripening, the stem broke, and it fell into the flowing water. The fruit gradually drifted to a place where a king and his consorts were playing in the water, surrounded by a wide bank. The fragrance of the fruit overwhelmed all the scents of the perfumes used by the consorts for bathing. They smelled the fragrance, looked around, and found the fruit, so they all gathered there, wondering what it was. The king tasted the fruit and found it very delicious, so he became attached to it. He thought: "Eating such a fruit, even without ruling the kingdom, is like being a king." He thought: "Not far upstream from this river, there must be a good tree, and this fruit must have fallen from that tree, and the fruit must still be fresh, with excellent color, fragrance, and taste." So, he led an army and entered the dense forest along the riverbank. He saw the king of trees and went there. When he saw hundreds of thousands of monkeys eating the fruits of the tree, he became very angry and said: "Seize these fellows!" So the people with weapons and

看到猴子们因石头等物的袭击发出巨大的声音而感到恐惧和痛苦。菩萨对它们生起慈悲心。像鸟儿一样从那棵大树的顶端跳到一座山上,将一根非常长的、比道路还宽的、根基稳固的藤蔓绑在自己的脚上,然后又跳到那棵树的顶端,因为绑了两只脚,所以努力地到达那里,用手抓住那棵树的树枝,让猴子们走在伸展开的藤蔓上。猴子们害怕,身体被树压着,虽然身体受伤,但心没有动摇,所有猴子都从恐惧中解救出来。国王和他的随从看到后感到惊奇,心想:这个人既勇敢又智慧,不顾自己的利益,对他人充满慈悲。国王命令那些人:这位猴子的主人,因为猴子们逃跑而被压在下面,长时间充当桥梁而疲惫不堪,无法自己站起来。我来支撑着他,用两支箭同时砍断藤蔓和榕树的树枝。按照命令,国王把他放在支撑物上放下来。因为身体受伤而昏倒的那个人被放在柔软的床垫上,用药物清洗伤口,稍微恢复后,国王对他说:你舍弃自己的生命,用慈悲心将他们从桥上救下来,这些人与你有什么关系?这些猴子是你的什么人?菩萨猴王说:请听我说,这些恭敬的人,将国王的重任托付给我。因此,这些人就像我的孩子一样。为了承担那份重任,我才这样做。长久以来,我们一直这样联系在一起。因为同一种族出生,所以这样友善,一起生活,所以像亲人一样。国王感到惊讶,又说:大臣等是为了国王,不是为了他们而有国王。因此,为了我的奴隶,你为什么要舍弃自己的身体?菩萨说:国王,那样做确实没错,但国王的统治就是那样。我认为那种统治很糟糕。不熟悉之苦。

Seeing the monkeys terrified and suffering from the loud noise caused by being struck by stones and the like, the Bodhisattva felt compassion for them. Like a bird, he jumped from the top of that great tree to a mountain, tied a very long vine, longer than the width of the path, with firm roots to his feet, and then jumped back to the top of that tree. Because he had tied both feet, he struggled to reach there, grabbed the branch of that tree with his hands, and allowed the monkeys to walk on the stretched vine. The monkeys were afraid, and their bodies were pressed by the tree. Although their bodies were injured, their minds did not waver, and all the monkeys were rescued from fear. Seeing this, the king and his entourage were amazed, thinking: This person is both brave and wise, does not consider his own interests, and is full of compassion for others. The king commanded those people: This master of the monkeys, because the monkeys fled and were pressed underneath, and was exhausted from acting as a bridge for a long time, is unable to stand up on his own. I will support him, and cut the vine and the branches of the banyan tree with two arrows at the same time. According to the command, the king lowered him onto the support. The one who had fainted because of the injuries to his body was placed on a soft mattress, his wounds were washed with medicine, and after he had recovered a little, the king said to him: You gave up your life and rescued them from the bridge with compassion, what is the relationship between these people and you? What are these monkeys to you? The Bodhisattva Monkey King said: Please listen to me, these respectful people have entrusted the burden of kingship to me. Therefore, these people are like my children. It is to bear that burden that I do this. For a long time, we have been connected like this. Because we were born of the same race, we are so friendly, and living together, we are like relatives. The king was surprised and said again: Ministers and others are for the sake of the king, not the king for their sake. Therefore, for the sake of my slaves, why did you give up your body? The Bodhisattva said: King, it is true that doing so is correct, but the rule of the king is like that. I see that kind of rule as terrible. The suffering of unfamiliarity.

即使痛苦,也不忍舍弃。对于心中恭敬的人们,更不用说亲友和朋友了。像这样,国王听了猴王讲述自己如何以慈爱之心对待眷属,非常信服和高兴。国王问道:"你放弃了自己的快乐,而选择了别人的快乐,你从中获得了什么功德?"猴王回答说:"即使我的身体被切断,我也会报答同类对我的尊敬,我没有什么不高兴的。即使我死了,也会获得快乐,获得无垢的声誉,受到国王的供养,死后也不会有恐惧,我获得了这些功德。依赖于没有慈悲之主的人,会得到与此相反的过失,除了堕入地狱的火焰中,别无他物。"然后,猴王教诲国王说:"国王啊,正如我所教导你的那样,你也应该以佛法治理国家,像父亲一样对待你的臣民和无依无靠的人们,让他们都得到利益和快乐,从而使你的佛法和政治、声誉和功德都得到增长,今生来世都获得安乐。"国王听后也产生了信仰。猴王舍弃了自己的身体,升到了天界。 又,在过去的时候,在波罗奈斯,有一位名叫梵授的国王,他的财富丰饶,以正法治理国家。在他的国家里,有一位名叫财天的船长,他的财富可以与多闻天王的儿子相媲美。船长有一个相貌英俊美丽的儿子,名叫财喜,当世尊转世为他时,他对所有的文字和占卜都非常精通,智慧明亮。他富有同情心,喜欢布施,用父亲的财产来满足穷人的需求。后来,他的父亲去世了,国王授予年轻的财喜为大船长,让他从事商业贸易,并给予他大量的布施。有一次,他心想:"这些我父亲的财产,如果我用它来布施,那有什么稀奇的呢?我应该用自己赚来的钱来布施。"于是他说:"谁愿意和我一起去海上贸易,如果没有骰子、护身符、船匠和赎金,就准备好货物吧!"

Even suffering, I cannot bear to abandon. For those who are respectful in their hearts, what need is there to mention relatives and friends?" In this way, the king listened to the monkey king recounting how he treated his retinue with loving-kindness, and he was very convinced and happy. The king asked, "You gave up your own happiness and chose the happiness of others, what merit did you gain from this?" The monkey king replied, "Even if my body is cut off, I will repay the respect shown to me by my fellow beings, and I have nothing to be unhappy about. Even if I die, I will gain happiness, gain a spotless reputation, be honored by the king, and have no fear after death. I have gained these merits. Those who rely on a master without compassion will receive the opposite faults, and there is nothing else but to fall into the flames of hell." Then, the monkey king taught the king, saying, "King, just as I have taught you, you should also rule the country with Dharma, treat your subjects and the helpless like a father, so that they all receive benefit and happiness, so that your Dharma and politics, reputation and merit will increase, and you will attain happiness in this life and the next." The king also developed faith after hearing this. The monkey king gave up his body and ascended to the heavenly realm. Again, in the past, in Varanasi, there was a king named Brahma-datta, who was rich and ruled the country according to Dharma. In his country, there was a captain named Wealth, whose wealth was comparable to that of the son of Vaishravana. The captain had a handsome and beautiful son named Wealth-joy, when the Blessed One was incarnated as him, he was very proficient in all letters and divination, and his wisdom was bright. He was compassionate and liked to give alms, using his father's wealth to satisfy the needs of the poor. Later, his father died, and the king appointed the young Wealth-joy as the great captain, allowing him to engage in commercial trade, and gave him a large amount of alms. Once, he thought, "These possessions of my father, if I use them to give alms, what is so amazing about that? I should use the money I earn myself to give alms." So he said, "Who wants to go to sea trade with me, and if there are no dice, amulets, shipwrights, and ransoms, then prepare the goods!"

说了从五百出发后,便到了海边。在那里准备食物和饮料的供给,发生争执就努力调解平息,在哪里进行财物的分配,打扫船上的水,观察方向和观看星星的占卜师也带着。让占卜师赞美海里有各种各样的宝物,因为想要财富,很多人登上船,几乎到了无法承载的地步。那位船长让赞美不是大海的功德,而是说大海里有鱼怪、波浪、深渊、鳄鱼、水中的旋涡、黑风、强盗和各种各样的邪魔,那些不顾惜生命和不顾父母等的人就出发吧。因为勇士少而胆小鬼多,所以大部分都退出了。像这样宣布了三次,使用了三次绳索,那艘船被强烈的顺风推动,到达了珍宝岛,占卜师说:这珍宝岛上也有像珍宝一样的玛瑙,请仔细检查并拿走。名叫鹤雏女的妖女会引诱男人并使之堕落。谁吃了使人陶醉的果实,就会昏迷七天,所以对那些要小心。在这珍宝岛上,非人能够容忍停留七天,超过这个时间,在没有完成任何事情之前,就会放出带走船的风。按照这样的嘱咐,他们谨慎小心地用上好的珍宝装满了整艘船,然后平安地返回了赡部洲,并进行了盛大的布施。像这样进行了六次,在那瓦拉纳西城进行了盛大的布施。那时,在其他地方有五位船长出海,因为船只损坏而没有成功,他们想:伟大的船长财喜以福德著称,凭借他的力量,我们也能获得财富。于是向财喜祈祷,财喜说:哎呀,大海的本性是第七艘船会损坏。

Having said to depart from five hundred, they went to the seashore. There, they prepared food and drink supplies, and if disputes arose, they diligently mediated and pacified them. They also brought along those who oversaw the distribution of wealth, swept water from the ship, observed directions, and the diviner who looked at the stars. The captain had the diviner praise the various jewels in the sea, and because many people desired wealth, they boarded the ship until it was almost unbearable. That captain had them praise not the virtues of the sea, but said that in the sea there were fish monsters, waves, abysses, crocodiles, whirlpools in the water, black winds, robbers, and various demons, so those who did not care about their lives and did not care about their parents, etc., should depart. Because there were few brave men and many cowards, most of them withdrew. In this way, they announced three times, used the ropes three times, and the ship was propelled by a strong tailwind, reaching the Isle of Jewels, and the diviner said: On this Isle of Jewels, there are also agates like precious jewels, so please examine them carefully and take them. A female demon named Crane Chick Maiden will seduce men and corrupt them. Whoever eats the intoxicating fruit will be unconscious for seven days, so be careful of those. On this Isle of Jewels, non-humans can tolerate staying for seven days, but after that time, before anything is accomplished, they will release the wind that carries the ship away. According to these instructions, they carefully and cautiously filled the entire ship with fine jewels, and then safely returned to Jambudvipa and made great offerings. In this way, they accomplished it six times and made great offerings in that city of Varanasi. At that time, in other places, five captains went to sea, but because the ships were damaged, they were unsuccessful, and they thought: The great captain Wealth Joy is known to be powerful due to his merit, and through his power, we will also be able to obtain wealth. So they prayed to Wealth Joy, and he said: Alas, the nature of the great sea is that the seventh ship will be damaged.
