在四百亿年中施予佛法的布施，如果连希望得到一句“你比别人好”的话都没有，更不用说希求名闻利养了。他讲经说法或听法都不感到疲倦，诸天也对他进行侍奉恭敬。当地的居民、妃嫔眷属以及所有的朋友也都跟随他出家了。在那里，清净地的天人们想到，如果我们侍奉恭敬跟随福德光出家的人们，就等于供养了三宝，于是就对他们进行供养。那位如来圆寂之后，福德光比丘也在六十四亿年中守护着正法。像这样，他对九十四亿百千俱胝的佛陀作了如是的供养。如此，福德光王子就是释迦牟尼佛，光芒国王就是无量光佛，城市神就是不动如来。如是说。福德光王子如是发菩提心，想要获得无上圆满菩提，就要以增上意乐完全舍弃可爱与不可爱，并且要谨慎行事。又，往昔在迦尸国（古印度地名）的一片茂密的森林中，鹧鸪、兔子、猴子和大象这四者住在一起，他们彼此心怀善意，和睦相处，没有争执，快乐地度日。有一次，他们商议后想要知道谁是最年长的，以便进行侍奉恭敬，于是就询问，并指着那里的一棵榕树。鹧鸪说道：贤者们，你们以前看到这棵树有多大了？大象说道：我们走在这条路上时，看到它长得和我身体一样大的时候。猴子说道：我和我的同伴一起走的时候，这棵树长得和我身体一样大的时候。他们都说大象你最年长。兔子说道：我看到这棵树长出两片叶子时，就用舌头舔舐附着在上面的露水。他们都说你比这更年长。鹧鸪说道：你

Having given the gift of Dharma for four hundred billion years, if there is no hope for even a single word of "you are better than others," what need is there to mention fame and gain? He does not become tired from teaching or listening to the Dharma, and the gods also serve and respect him. The local residents, the retinue of the consorts, and all the friends also renounce and follow him. There, the gods of the Pure Abodes think, "If we serve and respect those who have renounced and followed the Light of Merit, it will be equivalent to making offerings to the Three Jewels," and so they make offerings to them. Even after that Tathagata passed into complete nirvana, the monk Light of Merit also upheld the sacred Dharma for sixty-four billion years. In this way, he made such offerings to ninety-four billion hundred thousand kotis of Buddhas. Thus, Prince Light of Merit is the Buddha Shakyamuni himself, King Full of Light is the Buddha Amitabha, and the city god is the Tathagata Akshobhya. Thus it was said. Prince Light of Merit, aspiring to supreme and perfect enlightenment as a Bodhisattva, should, with heightened intention, completely abandon what is pleasing and displeasing, and should act with mindfulness. Furthermore, in the past, in a dense forest in the land of Kashi (ancient Indian place name), there lived four beings: a partridge, a rabbit, a monkey, and an elephant. They cherished each other, lived in harmony, without disputes, and spent their days happily. Once, they discussed and wanted to know who was the eldest, so that they could serve and respect him. They asked and pointed to a banyan tree there. The partridge said: "Wise ones, how big have you seen this tree before?" The elephant said: "When we were walking on this path, we saw it when it had grown to be about the same size as my body." The monkey said: "When I was walking with my companions, this tree was about the same size as my body." They all said, "Elephant, you are the eldest." The rabbit said: "When I saw this tree grow two leaves, I licked the dew that was attached to them with my tongue." They all said, "You are even older than this." The partridge said: "You

我们看见了一棵大树的样子。他说，这棵树是从我吃了种子后，在这里拉屎而长出来的。他们说，我们所有人都比你年长，所以我们三个应该侍奉他，猴子侍奉兔子和水獭。兔子只侍奉水獭，大象发誓侍奉所有人。就这样按照年龄顺序互相侍奉。互相依靠着，当走到陡峭的地方时，大象背着猴子，猴子背着兔子，兔子背着水獭走。他们就这样和睦相处，并且立下誓言。现在我们先稍微积累一些其他的善行再开始吧。怎么做呢？水獭说，应该戒杀生。他们问，那是什么？水獭说，粮食、果实、花朵等，有的有生命，有的没有生命，所以我们从今以后应该享用没有生命的。在那之后，不拿取没有主人的粮食果实等，从而戒除不予取，戒除对不应行淫之人的邪淫，经过考察在适当的时候说真话从而戒除妄语，对于戒酒也是一样。有的果实会让人醉，有的不会让人醉，所以从今以后应该戒除会让人醉的果实。像这样安住于五种戒律的基础上时，水獭说，如果我们安住于五戒，也应该让其他人安住于此。说完，兔子说让所有的兔子，猴子说让所有的猴子，大象说让所有的大象，老虎狮子等都安住于此。水獭说，你们所不能调伏的，没有脚的，四只脚的，飞禽等所有的一切，我都让他们安住于五戒。就这样让所有畜生道的众生都安住于五戒，互不损害，依靠着在那个茂密的森林里有意识地生活，天神适时降雨，粮食果实和花朵都繁荣生长。人们看到这种情况后，那个地方的国王

We saw the appearance of a large tree. He said that this tree grew from the seeds I ate and then defecated here. They said, "We are all older than you, so the three of us should serve him, the monkey serves the rabbit and the otter. The rabbit only serves the otter, and the elephant vowed to serve everyone. In this way, they served each other according to their age. Relying on each other, when they went to a steep place, the elephant carried the monkey, the monkey carried the rabbit, and the rabbit carried the otter. They lived in harmony in this way and made vows. Now let's accumulate some other good deeds before we begin. What should we do?" The otter said, "We should abstain from killing." They asked, "What is that?" The otter said, "Grains, fruits, flowers, etc., some have life and some do not, so from now on we should enjoy those without life." After that, by not taking grains, fruits, etc. that have no owner, they abstained from taking what is not given, abstained from sexual misconduct with those with whom it is inappropriate to engage in sexual activity, spoke truthfully after examination and at the appropriate time, thereby abstaining from lying, and the same goes for abstaining from alcohol. Some fruits make one drunk, and some do not, so from now on we should abstain from fruits that make one drunk. When they lived on the basis of the five precepts in this way, the otter said, "If we live on the five precepts, we should also let others live on them." After saying this, the rabbit said to let all the rabbits, the monkey said to let all the monkeys, the elephant said to let all the elephants, tigers, lions, etc. all live on them. The otter said, "All those whom you cannot subdue, those without feet, those with four feet, birds, etc., I will make them all live on the five precepts." In this way, all the sentient beings in the animal realm were made to live on the five precepts, not harming each other, and relying on living consciously in that dense forest, the gods rained at the right time, and the grains, fruits, and flowers all flourished. After the people saw this situation, the king of that place

我说是以如法治理国政的威力啊。妃子和年轻人，大臣和村民等各自认为是自己的威力啊。国王认为这些想法都执着于各自的威力，问那些看相的人，也不知道这是谁的威力。在离波罗奈斯（今瓦拉纳西）不远的园林里，有一位具有五种神通的仙人，受到大家的供养。国王走到那位仙人面前，这样说道：在我的国家里，所有众生都知道互不损害地安住，天神按时降雨，使得树木和庄稼茂盛，我以为这是我如法治理国政的威力啊，而妃子等村民们都认为是各自的威力，这到底是谁的威力呢？仙人说道：这不是国王您的威力，也不是妃子和年轻人等的威力，而是您的国家里有四种生物的威力啊。国王说道：我想看看那些。仙人说道：看那些做什么呢？那些已经正确地受持并实践的，您也请实践吧。那是什么呢？是五种戒律的基础啊。那又是什么呢？是开示了断除杀生等五种戒律。之后，国王说道：我将受持五种戒律的基础。像这样实践后，从妃子和年轻人开始，直到所有村民都受持了五种戒律的基础。国王梵授听到眷属们受持了五种戒律的基础，康地的所有小国王也同样照做了。因此，赡部洲的大部分人都受持了五种戒律的基础。在那里，赡部洲的人们死后都转生到了三十三天。那时，天帝释提桓因对天众们说道：以恭敬和尊重，在苦行林中安住的，上首焚烧者善妙地开示了各个世界的梵行。就这样。世尊自己成为菩萨的时候，那时成为了上首焚烧者。兔子是比丘舍利子，猴子是...

I say it is the power of ruling the kingdom according to the Dharma. The queen, the young men, the ministers, and the villagers all think it is their own power. When the king thinks that all these thoughts are clinging to their own power, he asks those who look at omens whose power this is, but they do not know. In a garden not far from Varanasi, there is a hermit with five kinds of supernatural powers who is worshiped by all. The king went to that hermit and said: In my country, all living beings know to abide without harming each other, and the gods send down rain in due season, so that the trees and crops flourish. I think this is the power of my ruling the kingdom according to the Dharma, but the queen and the villagers all think it is their own power. Whose power is this? The hermit said: This is not the power of you, the king, nor is it the power of the queen and the young men, but it is the power of the four creatures in your country. The king said: I would like to see them. The hermit said: What is the point of seeing them? Practice what they have rightly taken up and practiced. What is that? It is the five foundations of vows. What is that? It is the teaching of the five vows, such as abstaining from killing. Then the king said: I will take up the five foundations of vows. After practicing in this way, from the queen and the young men to all the villagers, everyone took up the five foundations of vows. When King Brahma-given heard that his retinue had taken up the five foundations of vows, all the petty kings of Kham did the same. Therefore, most of the people of Jambudvipa took up the five foundations of vows. There, the people of Jambudvipa, having died, were born as gods of the Thirty-three. At that time, the lord of the gods, Indra, said to the assembly of gods: With reverence and respect, the foremost burner, abiding in the grove of asceticism, has well taught the pure conduct in each world. Thus it is. When the Blessed One himself became a Bodhisattva, at that time he became the foremost burner. The rabbit was the monk Shariputra, and the monkey was...
