在过去无数不可思议的劫数之外，当如来名号为无能胜幢者降世时，在此教法中，文殊童子化身为一位名为智慧王的说法者，他前往国王的广阔宫殿中乞食，装满钵盂而归。世尊化身为商人之子，名为无垢臂，当时那个孩子坐在母亲的膝上，看见了那位比丘。他走到比丘面前乞讨食物，比丘给了他一个摩达卡。孩子跟随比丘来到如来面前。在那里，比丘将钵盂交给孩子，让他供养如来。他随意供养了包括佛陀在内的所有僧众，但钵盂里的食物却没有减少。比丘让孩子皈依、受戒并发起菩提心。孩子的父母出去寻找孩子，孩子劝说他们。孩子和他的父母，以及大约五百个众生都出家并发起了菩提心。世尊说：“这是他们最初为菩提发起的心。” 同样，在《调伏邪行经》中说，在过去如来名为极光之时，菩萨慈氏化身为转轮圣王，在他发起菩提心之后，经过四十四亿劫，世尊从另一位无能胜幢如来那里生起了菩提心。他用所有令人愉悦的物品供养那位佛陀一千年，并用五十万件天衣覆盖佛陀，以此积累善根。佛陀涅槃后，他建造了一座高一由旬，宽半由旬的宝塔，由七宝制成，并发愿证得无上菩提。 此外，在《报恩经》中，阿难问世尊，世尊对比丘们慈爱和慈悲的发心持续了多久？作为回答，世尊说道：在过去无数劫之前，

In the past, beyond countless, immeasurable, and inconceivable eons, when the Tathagata named Invincible Banner appeared in the world, in his teachings, Manjushri transformed into a Dharma speaker named King of Wisdom. He went to the vast palace of the king to beg for alms, filled his bowl, and returned. This Bhagavan, who had become the son of a merchant named Immaculate Arm, was then a child sitting on his mother's lap when he saw the monk. He went to him and begged for food, and the monk gave him a single modaka. The child followed him to the presence of the Tathagata. There, the monk gave the bowl to the child and had him offer it to the Tathagata. He offered it to the Buddha and the entire sangha as he wished, but it was not exhausted. The monk had the child take refuge, receive vows, and generate bodhicitta. The child's parents went to look for him, and the child persuaded them. The child and his parents, and about five hundred beings, all went forth and generated bodhicitta. The Bhagavan said, "This was their first generation of bodhicitta for the sake of enlightenment." Similarly, in the Sutra of Subduing Improper Conduct, it is said that in the time when the Tathagata was named Utmost Light, the Bodhisattva Maitreya transformed into a Chakravartin king. After he generated bodhicitta, after forty-four billion kalpas, this Bhagavan generated bodhicitta from another Tathagata Invincible Banner. He offered that Buddha all pleasant things for a thousand years and covered him with five hundred thousand divine cloths, thus accumulating merit. After that Buddha passed into nirvana, he built a stupa one yojana in height and half a yojana in width, made of the seven precious substances, and made aspirations for unsurpassed enlightenment. Furthermore, in the Sutra of Repaying Kindness, Ananda asked the Bhagavan how long the Bhagavan's loving and compassionate intention towards the monks had lasted. In response, the Bhagavan said: In the past, countless eons ago,

On the other side of the endless, there were two people who had committed evil deeds. The hell guardians made them pull a cart, running incessantly and striking with iron hammers. When one person, being weak, couldn't pull and was struck with the iron hammer, he died and then revived. There, one person felt compassion for the other and said, 'Let me pull this cart alone, release this person.' The guardian became angry and struck him with an iron hammer, and he died and was reborn as a god of the Thirty-Three. Thus, at that time, I was in the hell realm, and the compassionate and loving mind that arose was me. There, I first generated a compassionate heart for the sentient beings in hell. Then, I generated a loving and compassionate heart for all sentient beings as well,' he said. This is the account of when he was pulling a cart in hell, known as Gyadpakshita, and first generated the mind of loving-kindness. ༈ Furthermore, in the Vinaya-vastu, when the assembly of Shravakas asked the Bhagavan where he first generated the mind of loving-kindness, he replied, 'In the past, in a kingdom of a king named Light, there appeared a precious elephant, white as a lotus, with its seven limbs perfectly formed, beautiful in appearance, and pleasing to behold. The king entrusted it to a skilled elephant trainer, who tamed it and presented it back to the king. The king and the trainer rode it to go hunting. After a while, the elephant smelled the scent of a female elephant in the forest and ran after the scent. The elephant was as swift as the wind, and they felt as if the earth and sky were shaking, and they were very frightened. They said to the trainer, 'Tame this elephant king!' The trainer said, 'I could recite the secret mantra spoken by the sage and hook it with an iron hook. But even iron hooks, ropes, and whips cannot subdue the mind of desire. The sting of desire grows like something, increases in some ways, and subsides in others.' He said, trying to restrain the elephant, but he could not. At that time, he said to the king, 'O god, cleverly grab onto a tree branch!' After that,

拉波和调象师两人抓住树枝坐着。之后，刚从死里逃生，国王对调象师说：你献给我一头没有调伏的象。调象师说：天神，它非常驯服，只是闻到森林里母象的气味，无法听从。即使如此，观察后不久，它会再次回来的。之后，大象过了七天，摆脱了醉酒状态，记起调伏，自己回到原来的地方待着。之后，调象师赶紧对国王说。国王说：你没有调伏它吗？调象师说：已经调伏了，要如何才能在天神面前展示呢？于是把用煤火烧红的铁锤带到调伏的地方，开始让它拿起来，它也毫不犹豫地开始拿。调象师说：天神，如果能拿起来，即使拿了也会死。国王说：唉，贤者，如此驯服的它，让我们如此分心，这是什么原因呢？天神，您之前不是说过身体可以调伏，但心却不行吗？我只是调伏了身体，没有调伏心。国王说：你见过或听说过有人能调伏心吗？调象师受到神的启发，说道：天神，能调伏身心的只有诸佛世尊。为了摧毁因欲望而生的过患，很多人努力奋斗，但因为知道自己无法做到，所以精进减弱而退却。等等偈颂。我用各种方法调伏了这样一头外形美好、完美的大象。国王没有形体，心却很微妙，修行者们用河水也无法调伏。等等。伟大的国王，佛陀具有伟大的力量，舍弃了烦恼，是勇敢者，具有力量。他和任何像他一样的人的追随者，都能在此掌控无形的心。之后，光胜国王听闻了世尊们的精进和力量，布施了财物，行了善事，并发愿证得无上圆满菩提。以此广大的布施，愿我能在轮回中成为自生佛。

Lapo and the elephant trainer were sitting holding onto a tree branch. Then, having just escaped death, the king said to the trainer: You presented me with an untamed elephant. The trainer said: Your Majesty, it is very tame, but it cannot listen because it smelled the scent of a female elephant in the forest. Even so, after observing, it will return before long. Then, after the elephant had been seven days, free from intoxication, remembering the training, it came back to its place and stayed there. Then, the trainer quickly said to the king. The king said: Have you not tamed it? The trainer said: It is tamed, but how can I show it before Your Majesty? Then he brought an iron hammer burned red with coal fire to the training place and began to have it pick it up, and it began to pick it up without hesitation. The trainer said: Your Majesty, if it can pick it up, it will die even if it picks it up. The king said: Alas, wise one, what is the reason that such a tame one distracts us so much? Your Majesty, didn't you say before that the body can be tamed, but not the mind? I have only tamed the body, not the mind. The king said: Have you seen or heard of anyone who can tame the mind? The trainer, inspired by the god, said: Your Majesty, the Buddhas, the Blessed Ones, are the ones who can tame body and mind. To destroy the faults arising from desire, many strive, but knowing that they cannot, they turn back, their diligence diminished. And so on, verses. I have tamed such an elephant with a beautiful form and perfect qualities by various means. The king does not have a form, but the mind is subtle, and the hermits could not tame it even with river water. And so on. The great king, the Buddha, has great power, has abandoned afflictions, is a hero, and has strength. He and anyone who follows him in this way can transform the formless mind in this realm. Then, King Odana, having heard of the diligence and power of the Blessed Ones, gave gifts and performed virtuous deeds, and made aspirations for unsurpassed perfect enlightenment. By this vast generosity, may I become a self-born Buddha in samsara.

没有被过去的国王们所救度，我将救度所有众生。如此等等说道。在那里，最初发起无上圆满菩提心，并立下誓愿。其他本生经中说到的国王名号为“极光”和“极明”，这显然是名字的别称。 之后，在发起无上圆满菩提心之后，询问最初向哪位圆满正等觉的佛陀供养了斋食，回答说：过去，世尊您在广阔的城市里，转世为陶匠名为广阔之光时，佛陀世尊释迦牟尼降临世间，他的两位殊胜弟子是舍利子和目犍连子，侍者名为阿难陀。 当佛陀被比丘僧众围绕，在广阔的城市游化时，佛陀因风大的疾病所困扰，于是吩咐阿难陀：从陶匠广阔之光那里，取来酥油、麻油和红糖水。 阿难陀对陶匠说了之后，陶匠广阔之光带着儿子，取来了酥油、麻油和红糖水。世尊用酥油和麻油涂抹身体，并用温水沐浴，饮用了红糖水后，佛陀的病情得以缓解并恢复了生机。 之后，陶匠跪拜佛陀的足下，祈愿道：我以此殊胜布施，愿能成为释迦族所生之佛陀，具足功德、种姓和血统， 愿我能救度从梵天世界到死亡边缘的众生，脱离那寂静广大且无有恐惧的彼岸。 他的儿子也祈愿道：愿我以此善业，证悟所有有色之法，并成为世尊的侍者。 那时的儿子就是现在的阿难陀。 如此，最初为了无上菩提而立下誓愿，并且与此相符，在《贤劫经》中说：我于往昔贫贱时，曾以泥土供养于如来释迦牟尼，最初发起了菩提心。 后来，在不净的佛土

Those not liberated by the past kings, I shall liberate all beings. Thus, he spoke and there, he first generated the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment and made aspirations. In other Jataka tales, the kings named 'Rab Snang' and 'Rab Gsal' are mentioned, which appear to be different names for the same person. Then, after generating the mind for unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, when asked to which perfect Buddha he first offered alms, he replied: In the past, when the Blessed One himself was in the vast city, he was born as a potter named 'Vast Light,' and the Buddha, the Blessed One Shakyamuni, appeared in the world. His two supreme disciples were Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, and his attendant was Ananda. When that Buddha, surrounded by a Sangha of monks, traveled through the vast city, that Buddha was afflicted with a disease of excessive wind, and he instructed Ananda: 'From the potter Vast Light, bring butter, sesame oil, and molasses water.' When Ananda spoke to the potter, the potter Vast Light, with his son, brought butter, sesame oil, and molasses water. The Blessed One anointed his body with butter and sesame oil and bathed gently, and when he drank the molasses water, that Buddha was relieved and revived. Then, that potter touched his feet and prayed: 'By this excellent giving, may I be born as a Buddha of the Shakya clan, possessing qualities, lineage, and noble birth, and may I deliver beings from the suffering of death from the world of Brahma to the brink of death, to that peaceful, vast, and fearless other shore.' The son also prayed: 'By this action, may I realize all forms of phenomena and become an attendant to the Blessed One.' The son at that time is now Ananda. Thus, he first made aspirations for unsurpassed enlightenment, and in accordance with this, in the Sutra of the Fortunate Aeon, it is said: 'In the past, when I was inferior, I offered a handful of clay to the Tathagata Shakyamuni, and I first generated the mind of enlightenment.' Later, in an impure Buddha-field

的儿子啊！这样说了。像这样发起菩提心的人们的最初就是这些，这样被告知。此外，经典中在众多佛陀面前再三发起菩提心的情况非常多。像这样，最初的菩提心发起也是，如《经庄严论》中所说：粗略的从名言产生的世俗菩提心，和微细的从法性获得的胜义菩提心这二者中，最初是出生的因，友力、物力、根本力，听闻力从善根串习中，产生不稳固和稳固的，由他人指示的菩提心宣说。如是说的那样，在如来他人不能胜过的胜幢面前发起菩提心，是从友力中产生的，那位成为菩萨文殊童子的说法者名为智慧王的人，以善巧方便诱导后，在那位如来面前使他发起菩提心，像这样发起菩提心并积累善根。又变成一个童子，看到名为一切调伏的如来后，献上珍珠璎珞，并祈愿成为像那位佛陀一样，以及对于变成地狱狱卒的法友，自然而然生起慈悲心，这是从种姓的力量中产生的。三个童子中，对于广大的事物有信心的，祈愿成佛的那位就是薄伽梵自己，祈愿成为双胜的那两位就是舍利子和目犍连的儿子。对于朋友生起慈悲心也是，《经庄严论》中说：它的根本是慈悲，恒常利益有情。如是说的那样，菩提心的根本是从对有情生起慈悲心而来的，那也是因为大乘种姓觉醒的力量而生起慈悲心的缘故。光胜国王发起无上菩提心的祈愿，是依靠听闻的力量，调伏者说，我调伏了大象的身体，却不能调伏内心的烦恼，能调伏内心的是佛陀薄伽梵啊
