在今生，拥有种姓、美貌、财富、权势、智慧、长寿、无病、安乐。像这样，从天界的七种功德中产生的喜悦，享用八暇的荣华，以及完全显现的高尚，无病，能够胜任禅定，以及辨别正误等的智慧。这五者是往昔积累福德的力量或恭敬的显现之象征。而且，如果从比喻和意义的角度来说，轮回和涅槃的一切善妙集合，其增长和衰减的作者仅仅是福德和非福德之业。从前，国王顶生王或我能胜，向遍见佛供养了七粒芥子，因此成为了转轮圣王。战胜了四大天王的力量，在三十三天中获得了占据帝释天半个座位的荣耀，但由于罪恶之心的智慧摧毁了善业是自然规律，因此，一旦生起嫉妒帝释天的心，就像流星坠落一样，返回人间。根本偈：不修习则智慧衰，骄慢增长则财富衰，极度憎恨则善聚衰，贪执则真正高尚衰。因此，业和烦恼罪恶所扰乱的智慧，能以智慧之力和福分来运用，是积累福德的象征，经论中如是说。这是说，对于那些懒惰、不精进的人来说，不修习就会使先前知晓的闻思等智慧衰退。因为自己的财富享受而骄慢增长，用于非福德之事，就会使财富衰退。无论是对敌人还是中立者，极度憎恨都会使善聚衰退。无论是自己还是他人，贪执于女子、食物、财物等，都会使真正的高尚，即生于天界衰退。因为这些，不是被业、烦恼和罪恶所扰乱的清净智慧，能以智慧的力量和福分来运用，这是往昔积累福德的象征，经论中如是说。

In this life, one possesses good lineage and form, wealth, power, wisdom, longevity, health, and happiness. Like this, the joy arising from the seven qualities of heaven, enjoying the glory of the eight freedoms, and manifestly being perfectly high, healthy, capable of meditation, and having the wisdom to discern right and wrong, etc. These five are said to be the power of accumulating merit in the past or a manifestation of respect. Moreover, if explained from the perspective of example and meaning, the agent of both increase and decrease of all the collections of goodness in samsara and nirvana is solely virtuous and non-virtuous actions. In the past, King Mandhata or Ngalé Nü (I Can Conquer), by offering seven mustard seeds to the Buddha Vipashyin, became a universal monarch. Having completely conquered the forces of the Four Great Kings, he obtained the glory of sitting on half of Indra's throne in the Thirty-Three Heavens, but because the wisdom of a sinful mind destroys virtue is the nature of things, as soon as a mind of jealousy towards Indra arose, he reverted to the human realm like a falling star. Root verses: By not meditating, wisdom declines. By increasing pride, wealth declines. By extreme hatred, the collection of goodness declines. By attachment, true nobility declines. Therefore, the pure wisdom that is not disturbed by karma, afflictions, and sins, That can be employed by the power of wisdom and fortune, Is said in the Ornament to be a sign of accumulating merit. This means that for those who are lazy and lack diligence, not meditating causes the wisdom of prior knowledge, such as hearing and contemplation, to decline. Because one's own wealth and enjoyment increase pride, using it for non-virtuous things causes wealth to decline. Whether it is an enemy or a neutral person, extreme hatred causes the collection of goodness to decline. Whether it is oneself or another, attachment to women, food, wealth, etc., causes true nobility, that is, being born in the heavens, to decline. Because of these, the pure wisdom that is not disturbed by karma, afflictions, and sins, that can be employed by the power of wisdom and fortune, is said in the Ornament to be a sign of accumulating merit in the past.

以上是连贯的来源。如果说福德的共同因是诸佛菩萨的特点，那么对于那些追求解脱和一切智的众生来说，还用说什么呢？就像《本生经》里说的那样，以前有个国王叫光明力，他有五个儿子，分别是形力、勤奋、忍耐、智慧和福德力，他们都以自己的优点而自豪。当时，福德力说：如果没有福德，其他四个都没有用，所以福德非常重要，轮回和涅槃的一切美好事物都只是福德的力量。虽然这么说，但其他四个兄弟都坚持自己的观点，不接受他的说法。后来，父亲为了了解他们的能力，让他们以普通人的身份到其他地方去。形力因为相貌出众，所以靠人们的娱乐享受来维持生计。勤奋的人把湍急的河流冲来的旃檀木运走，别人无法拿走，他靠这种能力带来的享受来维持生计。忍耐的人靠由此产生的报酬来维持生计。智慧的人靠调解两个商人之间的争端而获得的利益来维持生计。福德力到一个穷人家里，那里出现了许多财富、粮食、黄金和白银，穷人意识到这是福德的力量，对他非常尊敬，他的名声传遍各地。后来，那个国家没有儿子的国王的王后、大臣和城市的首领们聚集在一起，为王子福德力举行了登基仪式。他以福德的力量使国家达到了安乐的境地。光明力国王听到这些原因后，任命年轻人福德力为王位的继承人。此外，在导师去世一百年后，在巴达利普特拉城，有一个名叫无忧的国王，他拥有四分之一的转轮王荣耀，他最初追随不善的导师，做了许多恶业。后来，因为福德

These are continuous sources. If the common cause of merit is the characteristic of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, then what need is there to say for those sentient beings who seek liberation and omniscience? As it says in the Jataka tales, formerly there was a king called Bright Power, who had five sons named Form Power, Diligence, Patience, Wisdom, and Merit Power, each of whom prided themselves on their own qualities. At that time, Merit Power said: Without merit, the other four are of no use, so merit is very important, and all the good things of samsara and nirvana are only the power of merit. Although he said this, the other four brothers insisted on their own views and did not accept his statement. Later, in order to understand their abilities, the father sent them to other places in ordinary clothes. Form Power, because of his outstanding appearance, lived by the entertainment and enjoyment of the people. Diligence carried away the sandalwood that was carried by the swift river, which others could not take away, and he lived by the enjoyment brought about by this ability. Patience lived by the reward from it. Wisdom lived by the gains from mediating disputes between two merchants. When Merit Power entered the house of a poor man, there appeared much wealth, grain, gold, and silver, and the poor man, realizing that this was the power of merit, treated him with great respect, and his fame spread everywhere. Later, the queen, ministers, and city leaders of the country, whose king had no son, gathered together and enthroned Prince Merit Power as king. By the power of merit, he brought the country to a state of happiness. When King Bright Power heard these reasons, he appointed the young man Merit Power as the heir to the throne. Furthermore, one hundred years after the passing of the teacher, in the city of Pataliputra, there was a king named Ashoka, who possessed one-fourth of the glory of a Chakravartin, who initially followed an evil teacher and did many evil deeds. Later, because of merit

当发生萨迦鲁尔事件时，他为了财富派遣了五百名商人去取宝物。他们用珍宝、黄金、白银、金刚石、毗琉璃、香卡石和珊瑚等装满了船，启程返回自己的国家。当船行驶到大海中央时，龙族摧毁了船只，抢走了所有的财物，一无所剩。国王清理了花园，用装饰品装饰，准备了陈列各种宝物的地方和使用的物品，为了观看这些，所有的人群都聚集在那里。那些商人以沮丧的状态来到国王面前，向国王讲述了事情的经过。当时，德钦旺波比丘在铜板上写道：这片土地由大海触及而守护，国王是强大的无忧者，极其强大和坚固的，夺取财物居住在海中的那些，让他们迅速来到这里，送到我的面前。写完后扔进海里，龙王将其扔回了赡部洲。信使将此事禀告了国王。国王心中明白了，思考有什么办法时，天神说如果供奉导师的舍利，福德就会增长，事情就会成功。于是国王洗了头发，穿上白色的衣服，拿着香和花环等，迎请十方获得神通者，并发出巨大的祈祷之声。六万阿罗汉聚集，以及比丘僧团，举行了撑伞等盛大的供养。向世尊的舍利供奉了五种供品等无数种类的供养。当时，国王和龙做了两个形象，放在金器中，通过衡量福德的大小，看到龙的形象向国王行礼。德钦旺波比丘说，还要继续积累福德。国王逐渐积累了巨大的福德，最后看到龙的所有肢体都向国王行礼。啊呀！供养三宝的果实，看看这是什么样的！居住在海中的龙，我已调伏并控制了它。智慧浅薄的人们，谁啊？

When the Sakya Lhur event occurred, he sent five hundred merchants to retrieve treasures for wealth. They filled the ship with jewels, gold, silver, diamonds, beryl, shangka stones, and coral, and set off to return to their own country. When the ship was in the middle of the ocean, the dragons destroyed the ship and plundered all the wealth, leaving nothing behind. The king cleaned the garden, decorated it with ornaments, prepared a place to display all kinds of treasures and the items to be used, and all the crowds gathered there to watch. Those merchants came to the king in a distressed state and told the king what had happened. At that time, the monk Dechin Wangpo wrote on a copper plate: This land is guarded by the sea, the king is the powerful, sorrowless one, extremely strong and firm, those who take wealth and live in the sea, let them come here quickly and send it to my presence. After writing this, he threw it into the sea, and the Dragon King threw it back to Jambudvipa. The messenger reported this matter to the king. The king understood in his heart, and when he was thinking about what to do, the deity said that if he made offerings to the relics of the teacher, merit would increase and things would succeed. So the king washed his hair, put on white clothes, and held incense and garlands, etc., inviting those who had attained supernatural powers in the ten directions, and made a great sound of prayer. Sixty thousand Arhats gathered, as well as the monastic community of monks, and held grand offerings such as raising umbrellas. He offered countless kinds of offerings, such as the five offerings to the relics of the Bhagavan. At that time, the king and the dragon made two images and placed them in golden vessels. By measuring the size of merit, it was seen that the dragon image bowed to the king. The monk Dechin Wangpo said, continue to accumulate merit. The king gradually accumulated great merit, and finally saw all the limbs of the dragon bowing to the king. Alas! The fruit of offering to the Three Jewels, see what this is like! The dragon living in the sea, I have tamed and controlled it. People of little wisdom, who?

不做供养于诸佛，若有速疾生果者，谁人以心不作意，欲得自性大者之，天众以及人众等，圆满正觉当供养，生尽且无有后有，如是说。比丘自在者又如是吩咐，将铜制书简抛于龙处，如是作已，龙王以头顶戴书信，承诺归还财物。彼亦如自在者所教，于铜书简上书写：瞻部洲之自在主，违背圣旨之惩罚，汝等各自肩负，送还于此。书写后抛之，龙众惊恐，承诺七日后送达，如是于城内外大众聚集之处，国王坐于狮子座上。龙众化作人形，肩扛珠宝之重负，礼拜国王之足。国王随念赞叹佛之圣教功德：福德不为火所焚，亦不为风所毁坏，福德不为水所溶，亦如土地不可取。国王以及盗贼等，福德无有可夺处，男子以及女人等，亦无有能夺取者。福德乃生安乐之宝藏，此乃不会舍离者，无论生于何处，彼亦随逐于彼处。如是。如是勤奋于福德，亦非仅为今生，而应于究竟成佛之方便之法生起希求。根本：于法作意之盔甲极坚固，深广法界乃如海自在之宝，能以智慧衡量或不能衡量，皆应交付于坚韧之心力，不离正道而行于六度之上。此乃我等之导师，于菩提胜妙发心后，为于无数劫中积聚资粮，而行持种种苦行，现证菩提而成办有情之怙主。我等亦为成就如是之果位，为趣入具义之法，无论遭遇何种违缘与障碍，亦应发起不为彼等所转之意乐。

Do not make offerings to the Buddhas, if there is one who quickly produces fruit, who does not contemplate with the mind, those who desire to obtain the great self, gods and humans alike, should offer to the perfect and complete Buddha, exhaustion of birth and no rebirth, thus it is said. The monk Empowerment also instructed to throw the copper letter to the land of the Nagas, and as he did so, the Naga king received the letter on his head and promised to return the treasures. As taught by Empowerment, he wrote on the copper plate: 'The punishment for breaking the decree of the sovereign lord of Jambudvipa is that you each bear the burden on your shoulders and deliver it here.' The Nagas were frightened and promised to deliver it in seven days. As promised, in the midst of a large gathering of people inside and outside the city, the king sat on the lion throne. The Nagas transformed into human form, carrying the burden of jewels on their shoulders, and bowed at the king's feet. The king then praised the virtues of the Buddha's teachings: Merit is not burned by fire, nor is it destroyed by wind. Merit is not dissolved by water, nor can it be taken away like earth. Neither kings nor thieves can steal merit, neither men nor women can take it away. Merit is a treasure that brings happiness, it never leaves, wherever one is born, it follows one there. Thus it is. Thus, striving for merit alone is not only for this life, but one should also aspire to the Dharma, which is the means to ultimately attain Buddhahood. Root text: The armor of mindfulness in the Dharma is extremely strong. The profound and vast realm of Dharma is like the ocean of the lord. Whether one can measure it with wisdom or not, one should entrust it to the power of a steadfast heart. Without straying from the right path, one walks on the six perfections. This is our teacher, who, after generating the mind of supreme enlightenment, practiced various hardships to accumulate merit for countless eons, and attained enlightenment to become the protector of beings. We too, in order to achieve such a state, should engage in meaningful Dharma. No matter what adverse conditions or obstacles arise, we should generate the intention not to be swayed by them.
