以劫来计算,寿命也能达到中劫的一半。从那以后,欲界分为两种。六种天神中的第一种是:在其下方,名为如意宝树极其繁茂的虚空中,生出一些梵天众生,这是由于往昔积累的殊胜所致。从那里堕落后,生出无数名为他化自在的众生。之所以这样称呼,是因为他们能够随心所欲地变化身体和受用。那么,他们依靠什么变化呢?依靠天神的如意宝和自己的变化显现为其他事物。身体的高度为二又二分之一由旬,寿命为一千六百年,以一日一夜计算,相当于他们自己的一万六千年。在其下方,名为 见美的如意树的虚空中,从上方堕落的是化乐天。这是因为他们从身体的光芒中变化出一百个、一千个或无数个孩子,并以此为乐。身体的高度为一又四分之一由旬,即五百一十二又四分之一弓。寿命为八百年,以一日一夜计算,相当于他们自己的八千年。在其下方,名为眼美的如意树的虚空中,从化乐天产生的是兜率天,因为他们享受喜乐和殊胜的法。身体的高度为一由旬,即五百弓。寿命为四百年,以一日一夜计算,相当于他们自己的四千年。在其下方,名为意变的如意树的虚空中,从上方堕落的是离诤天,因为他们远离与非天神的争斗。身体的高度为四分之三由旬,即三百七十五弓。寿命为二百年,以一日一夜计算,相当于他们自己的二千年。在其下方,在以遍集地基装饰的地面上,从离诤天堕落而产生的众生是三十三天。因为大象极坚固,有三十二个金头,一个玉头,以及三十三个天神和近臣享受权力,或者在不混杂和鬘焰等三十三个地方,由三十三个主宰者掌管,所以才这样称呼。身体的高度为四分之二由旬,即二百五十弓。寿命为

In terms of kalpas, their lifespan can also reach half of the intermediate kalpa. From then on, the desire realm is divided into two. The first of the six types of gods is: Below it, in the sky called the wish-fulfilling tree that is extremely lush, some Brahma beings are born, which is due to the excellence of past accumulations. After falling from there, countless beings called Paranirmitavasavartin are born. They are so called because they have the power to transform their bodies and enjoyments as they wish. So, what do they rely on to transform? They rely on the wish-fulfilling jewel of the gods and their own transformations to appear as other things. The height of the body is two and a half yojanas, and the lifespan is one thousand six hundred years, which, calculated as one day and one night, is equivalent to their own sixteen thousand years. Below it, in the sky of the wish-fulfilling tree called Seeing Beauty, those who fall from above are the Nirmanarati. This is because they transform a hundred, a thousand, or countless children from the light of their bodies and enjoy themselves with it. The height of the body is one and a quarter yojanas, which is five hundred and twelve and a quarter bows. The lifespan is eight hundred years, which, calculated as one day and one night, is equivalent to their own eight thousand years. Below it, in the sky of the wish-fulfilling tree called Eye Beauty, what arises from the Nirmanarati is the Tushita, because they enjoy joy, bliss, and the supreme Dharma. The height of the body is one yojana, which is five hundred bows. The lifespan is four hundred years, which, calculated as one day and one night, is equivalent to their own four thousand years. Below it, in the sky of the wish-fulfilling tree called Mind Transformation, those who fall from above are the Yama, because they are free from strife with the Asuras. The height of the body is three-quarters of a yojana, which is three hundred and seventy-five bows. The lifespan is two hundred years, which, calculated as one day and one night, is equivalent to their own two thousand years. Below it, on the ground decorated with the Sarvasamgrahabhumi, the beings that arise from the Yama are the Thirty-three Gods. Because the elephant is extremely strong, has thirty-two gold heads, one jade head, and the thirty-three gods and close attendants enjoy power, or in the thirty-three places such as Amisraka and Malyavarta, they are governed by the thirty-three lords, so they are called that. The height of the body is two-quarters of a yojana, which is two hundred and fifty bows. The lifespan is

一百年算作一日的寿命,能活一千岁。在那之下,日月星辰出现的处所,在顶层和轭木支撑等基础上,从三十三种天界化生的众生,称为四大天王,为了诞生为四大部洲各自的主人并掌权守护。身体高广一由旬的四分之一,相当于弓箭一百二十五张,寿命以五十年为一日,能活五百岁。这些是六欲天。阿修罗有四类,寿命光荣的阿修罗与三十三种天界的身和寿命相同,大力夜叉的类别与四大天王的身、寿命和受用相同,凶猛的龙的类别与龙族相同,杀戮的罗刹类别与饿鬼相同,粗暴变化的魔的类别,如妙衣等,与他化自在天的受用方式相同,寿命如三十三种天界。因此,魔的类别也归于天界,只有阿修罗四类。之后人类的出现是,最初赡部洲这块具有特殊福报的土地上,据说从光音天化生出两个莲花化生的天子。也就是说,在四大天王以上的众生形成之后,从光音天降临到赡部洲的两个天子是太阳极度显现者和月亮无垢者。之后,在所有景象都极其美丽的无量光莲花上,由于这两者的心极度动摇,显现出法界种子的部分,作为因缘,化生出一些天子。那些天子互相看见就感到高兴,并且以光明的景象极其显明而以神通来享用,那些众生行走时也在虚空中行走,居住时也在虚空中居住,食物享用禅定的喜乐,身上散发出无量光芒,只要想去哪里,就能到达所想之处,寿命也能活无量岁,因为没有任何显现烦恼的因由。有些经典说从兜率天化生,有些则说从四大天王化生,这

A hundred years are counted as one day of life, and they can live for a thousand years. Below that, the places where the sun, moon, planets, and stars appear, on the basis of the top layer and the yoke support, etc., the beings that emanate from the thirty-three heavens are called the Four Great Kings, in order to be born as the respective lords of the four continents and to rule and protect. The body is one-fourth of a league in height, equivalent to one hundred and twenty-five bows, and the lifespan is five hundred years, with fifty years counted as one day. These are the six desire realms. Asuras have four categories, the life-span and glory of the Asuras are the same as the thirty-three heavens in body and life-span, the powerful Yaksha category is the same as the Four Great Kings in body, life-span, and enjoyment, the fierce Naga category is the same as the Nagas, the killing Rakshasa category is the same as the Pretas, and the rough-changing Mara category, such as the Wonderful Garment, etc., is the same as the Enjoyment of the Paranirmitavasavartins, and the lifespan is like the thirty-three heavens. Therefore, the Mara category is also included in the heavens, and there are only four categories of Asuras. Then the emergence of humans is that, initially, on this land of Jambudvipa, which has special merit, it is said that two lotus-born sons of gods emanated from the Clear Light Heaven. That is, after the formation of beings above the Four Great Kings, the two sons of gods who descended from the Clear Light Heaven to Jambudvipa are the sun, which is extremely illuminating, and the moon, which is immaculate. Then, on the immeasurable lotus of light, where all appearances are extremely beautiful, because the minds of these two were extremely agitated, the part of the seed of the Dharma realm manifested, and as a cause, some sons of gods were born by miraculous birth. Those sons of gods were happy to see each other, and they enjoyed the magical powers because the appearance of light was extremely clear. Those beings, when they walked, walked in the sky, and when they lived, they lived in the sky. They enjoyed the joy and happiness of meditation as food. Immeasurable rays of light emanated from their bodies, and wherever they wanted to go, they could reach where they thought, and they could live for immeasurable years, because there was no cause for manifesting afflictions. Some scriptures say that they emanated from Tushita, and some say that they emanated from the Four Great Kings, this

降生是最初的主尊那二者从光明中降临。在那之下,从兜率天和四大天王以及其他天尊也降临,在此化生,因此要知道与一切都不相违背。那时,第一个劫的地域的名称叫做兜率堆积。为什么呢?因为显现光明的受用不可思议,以及觉性禅定的安乐不可估量。那时,调伏那些众生的第六导师金刚持自身,在极其美妙的光明莲花,具有千瓣的宽广莲房中,以化生的方式降临。又是以三种观看方式观看众生,从上方生起的光明之子太阳极明和月亮无垢出现,是依靠方便和智慧调伏众生的导师出现的征兆。那时,在莲花的每一片花瓣上,都出现与佛陀自身具有相同因缘的一位,是此劫会出现千佛的征兆。之后,显现调伏者的眼睛观看莲花,从虚空中发出寒热的自声,发出“不存在”的声音三次,那些众生也就被称为人。那时,没有由血肉组成的有质碍的身体,有时依靠上方的光芒,显现为透明,虽然具有五根和肢体以及颜色和生处等极其美妙,但是没有男人和女人这样的差别。那时,虚空中显现六十四万个光明星星,是将会出现六十四万种大圆满法的名称的先兆。在那之中,美丽而耀眼的十七个,是将会出现十七部无上瑜伽续的征兆。之后,那位导师以一切种智的眼睛观看教法和所化众生,宣说了胜过一切教法的最初的声应成根本大续。在这个时期,众生的寿命不可估量,身体有三十二肘,之后逐渐减少。之后众生也大量增多,寿命也逐渐

The descent is that the initial two chief ones descended from the clear light. Below that, the Joyful Land, the Four Great Kings, and other higher beings also descended and were born here miraculously, so it should be known that there is no contradiction with anything. At that time, the name of the land of the first kalpa was called Joyful Stacked. Why? Because the enjoyment of the appearance of light is inconceivable, and the bliss of awareness and samadhi is immeasurable. At that time, the sixth teacher, Vajradhara himself, who tames those beings, appeared in the manner of miraculous birth in the vast and spacious lotus heart of a thousand-petaled, extremely beautiful lotus of light. Moreover, by looking at beings with three kinds of gazes, the sons of gods, the sun, which shines brightly, and the moon, which is without stain, arose from above, which is a sign that the teacher who tames beings through skillful means and wisdom has appeared. At that time, on each petal of the lotus, one who has the same cause as the Buddha himself appeared, which is a sign that a thousand Buddhas will appear in this kalpa. Then, when the eye of the one who tames appearances looked at the lotus, the natural sound of hot and cold arose from the sky, and the sound of "non-existence" arose three times, and those beings were called humans. At that time, there was no body made of flesh and blood, but sometimes, relying on the light above, it appeared transparent, and although it had five senses, limbs, colors, and birthplaces that were extremely beautiful, there was no distinction between male and female. At that time, 640,000 stars of light appeared in the sky, which was a sign that 640,000 categories of the Great Perfection Dharma would appear. Among them, the seventeen that were beautiful and radiant were signs that the seventeen tantras of unsurpassed secret would appear. Then, that teacher, with the eye of omniscience, looked at the teachings and the beings to be tamed, and spoke the great root tantra of Sound Transcendence, which is the earliest of all teachings. At this time, the life span of beings is immeasurable, and the body is thirty-two cubits, and then it gradually decreases. Then beings also increase greatly, and life also gradually

减损。身体的光芒等等也消失了,福德也减少了。由于往昔业力的影响,烦恼潜伏生起,导致威严和光彩衰减。在这个时期,东方的胜身洲(东胜身洲)也从天而降生为人,化生的人增多。之后,北方俱卢洲也不再生人,西方的牛货洲也不再生人。因此,人类的次第最初在赡部洲(南赡部洲)出现,所以被称为业力的土地。 之后,这些众生沉溺于享乐,寿命也达到百亿年,那时土地的名字叫做“世界难忍”。那时,这些众生也从光卵中出生,光芒有人的七个跨步那么明亮,所以在空中行走。食物是精华,没有衣服,赤身裸体,所以也有清洗污垢的良好水池。他们也自然而然地行持十善。之后,由于往昔业力的力量,寿命也逐渐减少,光芒和福德也衰退了。土地的名字叫做“温湿聚集,光芒堆积”。那时,地、水、火、风四大,热产生温暖,冷产生原因和条件,所有众生都从树的汁液中温湿而生。在这个时期,寿命也达到十万年,食物是树木的果实,衣服是良好的树叶。每当一个人出生,就有一棵树出现。男女的器官还没有显现,彼此相见就高兴,触摸就快乐。 之后,福德逐渐减少,寿命也达到八万年,土地的名字叫做“贪欲生于胎中显现”。这些众生开始显现烦恼,由于业力的影响,男女的器官开始显现。彼此观看、触摸和欢笑的贪欲产生,从胎中出生的人也增多。在这个时期,只有自身的光明,食物和衣服都使用树木,还有如意牛和聪明的马。之后,福德减少,烦恼嗔恨产生,互相残杀的行为使以前的功德消失。
