Chinese

于是世尊欲劝化幻士仁贤,则于讲堂之东化造殿舍,长者处其中,谓仁贤曰:“今何所作?”答曰:“我供养沙门瞿昙及比丘僧。”长者答:“幻士!勿说是言,今者世尊在王阿阇世宫而食,及比丘众。”时仁贤承佛威神,见佛及僧在王宫食。   时,佛复化作长者来入讲堂,问仁贤曰:“今何所作?”答曰:“今供佛及僧。”长者答曰:“勿说是言,今佛及僧游于异道分卫。”时仁贤承佛威神,见佛之众于异道分卫。   复有长者到仁贤所曰:“今何所作?”答曰:“供佛及众。”长者答曰:“勿说是言,今世尊在耆域医王后园,为四部众讲说经道。”仁贤承佛威神,见佛在耆域后园,为四部众讲法。   时,天帝释谓仁贤曰:“今何所作?”答曰:“我供佛及众。”帝释答曰:“勿说是言,今者如来在忉利天昼夜树 现代汉语译本 ‘可以这样。’ 师子意菩萨(Śīṃha-mati Bodhisattva)说: ‘这饭食是幻化而成,供养的人也是幻化的; 吃这饭食的人也都是幻化的,善哉,这供养是无上的。’ 慈氏菩萨(Maitreya Bodhisattva)说: ‘用油和醍醐浇火,火焰会更加炽盛; 仁贤的幻化也是如此,佛的幻化是为了普遍显现。’ 软首童子(Mṛdu-śīrṣa Kumāra)说: ‘譬如这地方的一切都是幻化所造; 仁贤所施展的幻术,是用来欺骗迷惑众人的。 一切法都是如此,其本质都是平等的; 不觉悟未来,愚痴地在生死中轮回。’ 这时,世尊为了劝化幻术师仁贤,就在讲堂的东边幻化出一座殿舍,让一位长者住在其中,对仁贤说:‘你现在在做什么?’仁贤回答说:‘我正在供养沙门瞿昙(Śramaṇa Gautama)和比丘僧。’长者回答说:‘幻术师!不要这样说,现在世尊正在阿阇世王(Ajātaśatru)的宫殿里吃饭,和比丘僧在一起。’这时,仁贤承蒙佛的威神之力,看见佛和僧众正在王宫里吃饭。 这时,佛又幻化成一位长者来到讲堂,问仁贤说:‘你现在在做什么?’仁贤回答说:‘我现在正在供养佛和僧众。’长者回答说:‘不要这样说,现在佛和僧众正在不同的道路上乞食。’这时,仁贤承蒙佛的威神之力,看见佛的僧众正在不同的道路上乞食。 又有一位长者来到仁贤那里说:‘你现在在做什么?’仁贤回答说:‘我正在供养佛和僧众。’长者回答说:‘不要这样说,现在世尊正在耆域医王(Jīvaka)的后花园里,为四部大众讲说经道。’仁贤承蒙佛的威神之力,看见佛正在耆域的后花园里,为四部大众讲法。 这时,天帝释(Śakra Devānām Indra)对仁贤说:‘你现在在做什么?’仁贤回答说:‘我正在供养佛和僧众。’帝释回答说:‘不要这样说,现在如来正在忉利天(Trāyastriṃśa)的昼夜树(Pārijāta)下,为诸天说法。’这时,仁贤承蒙佛的威神之力,看见佛正在忉利天的昼夜树下,为诸天说法。

English version 'It can be so.' Śīṃha-mati Bodhisattva said: 'This food is a transformation, the one who offers it is also an illusion; Those who eat this food are all illusions, well done, this offering is supreme.' Maitreya Bodhisattva said: 'Pouring oil and ghee on fire, its brightness will become more intense; The illusion of the virtuous is like this, the Buddha's illusion is for universal manifestation.' Mṛdu-śīrṣa Kumāra said: 'For example, everything here is created by illusion; The illusions performed by the virtuous are to deceive and confuse people. All dharmas are like this, their essence is all equal; Not realizing the future, foolishly wandering in the cycle of birth and death.' Then, the World Honored One, in order to persuade the illusionist virtuous, transformed a palace to the east of the lecture hall, and had an elder reside in it, saying to the virtuous, 'What are you doing now?' The virtuous replied, 'I am offering to Śramaṇa Gautama and the assembly of monks.' The elder replied, 'Illusionist! Do not say that, now the World Honored One is eating in King Ajātaśatru's palace, with the assembly of monks.' At that time, the virtuous, by the power of the Buddha, saw the Buddha and the monks eating in the royal palace. Then, the Buddha transformed into an elder and came to the lecture hall, asking the virtuous, 'What are you doing now?' The virtuous replied, 'I am now offering to the Buddha and the assembly of monks.' The elder replied, 'Do not say that, now the Buddha and the monks are begging for alms on different paths.' At that time, the virtuous, by the power of the Buddha, saw the Buddha's assembly begging for alms on different paths. Another elder came to the virtuous and said, 'What are you doing now?' The virtuous replied, 'I am offering to the Buddha and the assembly.' The elder replied, 'Do not say that, now the World Honored One is in the garden of the physician Jīvaka, expounding the Dharma to the four assemblies.' The virtuous, by the power of the Buddha, saw the Buddha in Jīvaka's garden, expounding the Dharma to the four assemblies. Then, Śakra Devānām Indra said to the virtuous, 'What are you doing now?' The virtuous replied, 'I am offering to the Buddha and the assembly.' Indra replied, 'Do not say that, now the Tathagata is under the Pārijāta tree in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven, teaching the Dharma to the devas.' At that time, the virtuous, by the power of the Buddha, saw the Buddha under the Pārijāta tree in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven, teaching the Dharma to the devas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

下为诸天人讲法。”仁贤承佛威神,见佛在忉利天为天人说法。幻士仁贤见诸树上,枝、叶、花、实皆有宝座,如来相好具足,僧众围绕,在诸化师子座上。四天王、帝释梵王,而化师子座皆见坐如来;并王舍城诸街、里、巷、馆、宇,皆见如来遍诸佛世尊前,皆见仁贤悔过自韪。   时,仁贤目之所睹,不复见余但见如来,幻士喜踊即生善心,用欢喜故得佛意三昧,从定意起,叉手于佛前,以颂问佛曰: “今我睹见,  如来神足;  发意之顷,  化若干佛。  其数百千,  复过是限;  若江河沙,  诸佛如是。  我本自谓,  广学幻术;  于阎浮利,  无与等者。  今日观见,  佛之神足;  计挍譬喻,  不可为比。  今我目睹,  不复见余;  普见诸佛,  相好庄严。  是故今我,  欲问法王,  何许是佛?  唯愿尊说。  奉事何佛?  为第一供。  施何所佛?  功德最大。  何所清净?  受施众祐!  愿为说是,  平等普见。  我今首过,  一切所犯;  身所试佛,  世雄导师。  其于尊人,  不行恭敬;  是为自弃,  不得所愿。  诸天已闻,  及与帝释!  于是众会,  一切普达。  我今为发, 现代汉语译本:接下来是为诸天人讲法。’仁贤’(一位幻术师的名字)承蒙佛陀的威神之力,看见佛陀在忉利天(欲界六天之一,位于须弥山顶)为天人说法。幻术师’仁贤’看见所有树上,枝、叶、花、果实都有宝座,如来(佛陀的称号)相好具足,僧众围绕,坐在各种化现的狮子座上。四天王(佛教的护法神)、帝释(忉利天之主)、梵王(色界诸天之主),在化现的狮子座上都看见佛陀;并且在王舍城(古印度城市)的各个街道、里巷、馆舍、房屋,都看见佛陀遍布在所有佛陀世尊前,都看见’仁贤’忏悔自己过去的自以为是。 当时,’仁贤’眼睛所见,不再看见其他,只看见如来,幻术师欢喜踊跃,立刻生起善心,因为欢喜的缘故,得到了佛意三昧(一种禅定状态),从禅定中起身,在佛陀面前合掌,用偈颂向佛陀问道: ‘现在我看见,如来的神通;发愿的瞬间,化现出无数佛。那成百上千,甚至超过这个数量;如同恒河沙数,诸佛就是这样。我原本自认为,广泛学习幻术;在阎浮利(我们所居住的这个世界),没有人能与我相比。今天我看见,佛陀的神通;用计算和比喻,都无法相比。现在我亲眼所见,不再看见其他;普遍看见诸佛,相好庄严。因此现在我,想要请问法王,哪里是佛?唯愿您能开示。奉事哪位佛,是第一供养。布施给哪位佛,功德最大。哪种清净,能接受众人的福佑!希望您能为我解说,平等普遍的见解。我现在忏悔,一切所犯的过错;我曾用身体试探佛陀,世间的雄伟导师。对于您这样尊贵的人,没有行恭敬礼;这是自我抛弃,不能得到所愿。诸天已经听闻,以及帝释天!在场的众人,一切都已明了。我现在发愿,'

English version: Next is the Dharma talk for the gods and humans. 'Renxian' (a name of an illusionist), empowered by the Buddha's divine might, saw the Buddha preaching to the gods in Trayastrimsha Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm, located on the summit of Mount Sumeru). The illusionist 'Renxian' saw that on all the trees, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits, there were thrones, and the Tathagata (an epithet of the Buddha) was adorned with all the marks of excellence, surrounded by the Sangha, sitting on various manifested lion thrones. The Four Heavenly Kings (Buddhist guardian deities), Indra (the lord of Trayastrimsha Heaven), and Brahma (the lord of the form realm heavens), all saw the Buddha sitting on the manifested lion thrones; and in the various streets, alleys, mansions, and houses of Rajagriha (an ancient Indian city), they all saw the Buddha pervading before all the Buddhas, the World Honored Ones, and they all saw 'Renxian' repenting for his past self-righteousness. At that time, what 'Renxian' saw with his eyes was no longer anything else but the Tathagata. The illusionist was filled with joy and immediately generated a good mind. Because of this joy, he attained the Buddha's intention Samadhi (a state of meditative absorption). He arose from the Samadhi, clasped his hands before the Buddha, and asked the Buddha in verse: 'Now I see, the Tathagata's divine powers; in the moment of aspiration, countless Buddhas are manifested. Those hundreds and thousands, even beyond that limit; like the sands of the Ganges River, the Buddhas are like that. I originally thought of myself, as having extensively studied illusion; in Jambudvipa (the world we inhabit), no one could compare to me. Today I see, the Buddha's divine powers; calculations and metaphors, cannot be compared. Now I see with my own eyes, no longer seeing anything else; universally seeing all the Buddhas, adorned with marks of excellence. Therefore, now I, wish to ask the Dharma King, where is the Buddha? I wish that you would explain. Serving which Buddha, is the foremost offering. Giving to which Buddha, has the greatest merit. Which purity, can receive the blessings of all! I hope you can explain this to me, the equal and universal view. Now I repent, for all the mistakes I have made; I once tested the Buddha with my body, the majestic teacher of the world. For such a noble person as you, I did not show respect; this is self-abandonment, not being able to obtain what is desired. The gods have already heard, as well as Indra! The entire assembly, all have understood. Now I make a vow,'

English version The heart of a Bodhisattva; for the sake of all, now they are all liberated. Now I request, for all sentient beings, may they all be filled, and attain the peace of nectar. Let those who are asleep, quickly awaken; attain extraordinary wisdom, like a bright lamp. Who can manifest, such a sight? Hearing his words, peaceful and gentle. His wisdom is unobstructed, guiding practice is most supreme; he does not give rise to a discriminating mind, the intention of the path is most noble. May you tell me, the subtle path of practice; which venerable one should be followed, to quickly attain Buddhahood? How can one be like this, complete in practice? All disciples, cannot reach it. The practice of non-action, to what category does its merit belong? What is the meaning of righteousness? Please listen carefully. What is beloved, the etiquette and walking meditation? How can one give rise to, thoughts without doubt? How to practice diligently, hearing the teachings without weariness? When can one obtain, firm hearing? How can one, preach the Dharma teachings? What is the radiance, that the Dharma can illuminate all? How to practice the path of giving, to attain compassionate practice? How can one establish, a mind without differentiation? What is the sacrifice, that is filled in all places, for all people, to become firm compassion? What kind of good teacher, should be followed and emulated; what kind of bad friend, should be avoided. How can one go, to see the Buddha, the World Honored One! Having already seen the Buddha, how should one make offerings? What kind of learning should one study, to become the most honored? How to study diligently, to attain wisdom? How in precepts, to remain pure? How can one attain, the samadhi of concentration? How should one establish, to achieve solemn and pure practice? How to abandon, the meaning of unlawful principles? How can one in
