对一切众生生起慈悲心，发出这样的声音，使三千大千世界的各个角落都能听到，从而显现佛法。因此，菩萨摩诃萨应以无所畏惧的智慧，宣说佛陀薄伽梵的教法，发出狮子吼。如是说。 ༈ 又在过去，于吉祥草城，当如来名号为极喜生者出世之时，此世界也极其广阔安乐，犹如极乐世界。那位佛陀住世无量寿，直至双娑罗树间入灭。他的正法住世四十多万年，当时有一位比丘，持戒精严，名号功德慧，眷属众多，宣说狮子吼，精通广说九部经典，告诫比丘们不要蓄养奴仆、牛羊等非法之物。当时，许多破戒比丘对此心生嗔恨，拿起武器准备杀害他。当时，世尊自己化身为当地的国王，名号功德者，听到此事后，立即前往说法者处，与破戒比丘交战，使说法者得以幸免于难。那位国王的身上，被刀剑弓箭等所伤，没有一处像芥子般完好无损。那位功德慧比丘对比国王说：太好了！您是真正守护正法的人，未来将成为无量佛法的容器。国王听闻佛法后，心中无比欢喜，去世后转生到不动如来佛土，成为那位佛陀的上首近侍。那位国王的眷属，参与战斗并战胜敌人，以及欢喜赞叹者，都成为不退转菩提心者，去世后也转生到不动佛的净土。功德慧比丘后来也去世，转生到不动佛的净土，成为声闻僧团中最为殊胜者。

Having generated compassion for all beings, by making such a sound, it made the Dharma known throughout all the corners of the three thousand great thousand world systems. Therefore, a Bodhisattva Mahasattva should proclaim the lion's roar with fearless wisdom regarding the teachings of the Buddha Bhagavan. Thus it was said. ༈ Moreover, in the past, in the city of Auspicious Grass, when the Tathagata named 'He Who Generates Great Joy' appeared, this world was also extremely vast and happy, like Sukhavati. That Buddha lived for immeasurable years and passed into nirvana between a pair of Sala trees. His sacred Dharma remained for more than forty million years. At that time, there was a Bhikshu who upheld the precepts very strictly, named Yonten Lodro (Qualities of Intelligence), who had many followers and proclaimed the lion's roar. Being skilled in extensively teaching the nine sections of the Sutras, he admonished the Bhikshus not to hoard male and female servants, cattle, sheep, and other non-Dharmic possessions. There, many Bhikshus who had broken their vows became angry with him and, taking up weapons, attempted to kill him. At that time, the Bhagavan himself, having become the king of that land named Yonten Chen (Possessing Qualities), upon hearing this, immediately went to the Dharma speaker and, engaging in battle with the Bhikshus who had broken their vows, ensured that the Dharma speaker was well liberated. The king's body was wounded by swords, arrows, and so on, with no part as small as a mustard seed left unharmed. That Bhikshu Yonten Lodro said to the king: 'Very good! You are truly a protector of the sacred Dharma, and in the future, you will become a vessel of immeasurable Dharma.' Having heard the Dharma there, the king's mind became exceedingly joyful, and upon passing away, he was reborn in the immovable Buddha-field as the foremost attendant of that Buddha. All of the king's retinue who participated in the battle and overcame the enemy, and who rejoiced and praised him, became irreversible from the mind of Bodhi, and upon passing away, were born in the pure land of the immovable Buddha. Bhikshu Yonten Lodro also later passed away and was reborn in the immovable Buddha-field, becoming the most excellent among the Sangha of Shravakas.

成为了。在那之后，当正法衰落并接近消亡时，（佛陀）说应当如此守护和救护。说法的即是佛陀迦叶佛。 ༈ 再次，过去于无数不可计量的劫时，名为无上胜佛的佛陀世尊降临世间，宣说了完全寂灭的经文。这位世尊成为了他的声闻，因此受持此经并为他人宣说。自那以后，未曾堕入恶趣，未曾舍弃正法等等，也没有经历过恶劣的身体和疾病等痛苦。现在如来也远离一切疾病，无有恐惧，如是说。 ༈ 再次，往昔世尊自身转世为名为星宿的婆罗门童子时，他修持了四万二千年的梵行，进入了名为善妙王宫的王宫。一位商人的女儿看到那个童子相貌英俊，赏心悦目，便触碰了他的脚。问道：你想要什么？她回答说：我想要你。婆罗门童子说：我不是为了追求欲望，而是为了修持梵行。那个女儿说：如果我不能和你一起生活，我就会死去。童子心想：我已经修持了四万二千年的梵行，这不符合我的规矩。于是他用神通抛弃了那个女儿，走了七步。当他走到第七步时，生起了慈悲心，心想：即使我毁坏了自己的誓言，即使我这个有情众生要堕入地狱，我也要忍受。现在就让这个女儿在快乐和死亡的时候都不要痛苦吧。于是他返回，拉着那个女儿的手说：女儿，起来吧，我会做你想要的一切。他在她家住了十二年，然后再次显现，生起了四梵住，转生到了梵天世界。就这样，他生起了大慈悲心，从而推翻并舍弃了四万劫的轮回。菩萨以善巧方便，甚至能将其他众生注定要堕入地狱的业，转变为转生到梵天世界。

It became. Then, when the sacred Dharma was declining and nearing its end, (the Buddha) said that it should be protected and saved in this way. The one who spoke the Dharma was the Buddha Kashyapa. ༈ Again, in the past, countless immeasurable eons ago, a Buddha, a Bhagavan, named the Supreme Victor, came into the world and taught the sutra of complete nirvana. This Bhagavan himself became his Shravaka, so he held this sutra and taught it to others as well. Since then, he has not fallen into evil destinies, has not abandoned the sacred Dharma, and has not experienced any suffering such as a bad body or illness. Now, the Tathagata is also free from all diseases and without fear, so it is said. ༈ Again, in a previous life, when the Bhagavan himself was transformed into a Brahmin boy named Star, he practiced celibacy for forty-two thousand years and entered a king's palace called Auspicious Abundance. A merchant's daughter saw that the boy was handsome and pleasing to the eye, and she touched his feet. She asked, "What do you want?" She replied, "I want you." The Brahmin boy said, "I am not seeking desire, but practicing celibacy." The girl said, "If you do not live with me, I will die." The boy thought, "I have practiced celibacy for forty-two thousand years, this is not my way." So he abandoned the girl with his power and took seven steps. When he was at the seventh step, compassion arose, and he thought, "Even if I break my vows, even if I, a sentient being, have to go to hell, I will endure it. Now, let this girl not suffer in times of happiness and death." So he returned, took the girl's hand and said, "Girl, get up, I will do whatever you want." He stayed in her house for twelve years, and then manifested again, generated the four Brahmaviharas, and was born in the Brahma world. In this way, he generated the mind of great compassion, thereby overturning and abandoning forty thousand eons of samsara. The Bodhisattva, with skillful means, can even transform the karma of other sentient beings destined to be born in hell into being born in the Brahma world.

如是说。 ༈ 。又往昔在燃灯佛的又一个诞辰之前，约五百名贪图财富的商人入海，在海中获得利益后返航。 其中，一个靠罪恶为生、学习骗术的黑人强盗，心想杀死所有这些商人，夺走财物。 在这些人中，这位世尊曾是一位名叫大悲心的船长，他在睡梦中得到海神的预言：这些客人中，有一个人，他的外形和装束是这样的，他正想着杀死所有这些商人并抢走财物。 这五百名商人都是不会从无上圆满菩提中退转的菩萨。 如果杀了他们，那人将会在漫长的时间里，每一个菩萨成就无上圆满菩提的时间里，都在大焦热地狱中被焚烧。 因此，船长你务必想方设法，既要避免五百名商人被杀，也要避免那人堕入大焦热地狱。 船长思索着这个方法，知道除了杀死那人之外别无他法。 如果把这件事告诉商人们，他们会怀着憎恨之心杀死那人，这样他们都会堕入地狱。 即使我杀了那人，我将在大焦热地狱中被焚烧千百万劫，我也乐意。 如果这五百名商人丧命，那人将会造下如此巨大的罪业，这是不行的。 我应该杀了那人。 他这样想着，为了保护五百名商人和那个人，他夺过黑人自己的短矛刺死了他。 这五百名商人是此贤劫的五百名菩萨。 大悲心和善巧方便使他推迟了千百万劫的轮回。 那个黑人死后也转生到了天界。 后来成佛的时候，如来的身体虽然像金刚一样坚硬，但还是需要善巧方便的必要。

Thus it was said. ༈. Also, in the past, before another birth of the Buddha Dipamkara, about five hundred merchants desiring wealth entered the ocean, and after achieving their purpose in the ocean, they set out to return. Among them, a black man who lived by evil and had learned the art of deception, a robber, thought to kill all these merchants and take their wealth. Among them, this Bhagavan was once a captain named Great Compassion, who was prophesied by the sea god in a dream: Among these guests, there is a man with such a shape and appearance who intends to kill all these merchants and steal their wealth. Since all these five hundred merchants are non-returning Bodhisattvas from unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, if that man kills them, he will be burned in the great hells for as long as each Bodhisattva takes to achieve unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. Therefore, Captain, you must be skillful in finding a way to prevent the five hundred merchants from being killed and to prevent that man from going to the great hells. The captain thought about this method and realized that there was no other way than to kill that man. If he told the merchants about it, they would kill that man with hatred, and all of them would go to hell. Even if I kill that man and am burned in the great hells for hundreds of millions of kalpas, I would be happy to do it. If these five hundred merchants lose their lives, it would be unacceptable for that man to accumulate so much sinful karma. I should kill that man. Thinking thus, in order to protect the five hundred merchants and that man, he snatched the black man's own short spear and killed him. The five hundred merchants are the five hundred Bodhisattvas of this Fortunate Aeon. Great compassion and skillful means caused him to postpone the cycle of hundreds of millions of kalpas. That black man also died and was born in the heavens. Later, when he became a Buddha, although the body of the Tathagata was as hard as a diamond, there was still a need for skillful means.

我讲述了刺入森丹树林的方法：有二十个人变成了最后的统治者，还有二十个人变成了他们的敌人，他们进行欺骗，装作友善，进入他们的家中并将他们杀死。如来知道他们心中所想，为了调伏他们，对目犍连之子说：从这个方向会生长出森丹树林，它将会刺入如来的右脚底。说完后不久，就长出了大约一拃高的锋利的森丹树林。当时，大目犍连之子请求将森丹树林抛到其他世界。如来说：不能从这个方向抛弃。尽管如此，大目犍连之子用力量抓住森丹树林，三千大千世界向上翻转并剧烈摇动，但森丹树林甚至连一根头发的尖端都无法移动。然后，如来以神通力前往四大天王众神之中，森丹树林也来到了四大天王众神之中。同样地，也前往了三十三天、无诤天、兜率天、乐变化天、他化自在天之处。即使前往了梵天世界，森丹树林也来到了梵天世界。之后，如来从梵天世界降下并坐在座位上，森丹树林也从梵天世界降下，坐在世尊面前。然后，世尊用右手抓住右脚，将森丹树林的一个尖端刺入地面，另一个尖端朝上，并将脚放在上面。就在那一瞬间，三千大千世界剧烈摇动。之后，阿难问道：尊者世尊过去做了什么业，才导致了这样的果报？如来说：我过去在海中，用短矛刺伤了邪恶的商人，使他丧命。

I explained the method of planting the Sengding grove. There were twenty people who became the last rulers, and twenty people who became their enemies. They deceived, pretended to be friendly, entered their homes, and killed them. The Tathagata knew what they were thinking, and in order to subdue them, he said to Maudgalyayana's son: From this direction, a Sengding grove will grow, and it will pierce the sole of the Tathagata's right foot. Soon after speaking, a sharp Sengding grove about a span high grew. Then, the great Maudgalyayana's son requested to throw the Sengding grove to another world. The Tathagata said: It cannot be thrown away from this direction. Nevertheless, the great Maudgalyayana's son grabbed the Sengding grove with force, and the three thousand great thousand worlds turned upside down and shook violently, but the Sengding grove did not move even a hair's breadth. Then, the Tathagata went to the gods of the Four Great Kings by supernatural power, and the Sengding grove also came to the gods of the Four Great Kings. Similarly, he also went to the places of the Thirty-three, the No-Strife, the Tushita, the Delightful Transformation, and the Other-Controlled Transformation. Even if he went to the Brahma world, the Sengding grove also came to the Brahma world. After that, the Tathagata descended from the Brahma world and sat on the seat, and the Sengding grove also descended from the Brahma world and sat in front of the Bhagavan. Then, the Bhagavan grabbed his right foot with his right hand, pierced one tip of the Sengding grove into the ground, and placed his foot on top of the other tip facing upwards. At that moment, the three thousand great thousand worlds shook violently. Then, Ananda asked: Venerable Bhagavan, what kind of karma did you do in the past that led to such a result? The Tathagata said: In the past, in the sea, I stabbed an evil merchant with a short spear, causing him to lose his life.
