t12n0333 buddha speaks mahayana king rizhi asked sutra.g2.0f

English

English version: Achieving great power and virtue, attaining great freedom. Why is this so? Because the Tathagata (Buddha), the Arhat (Worthy One), the Samyak-sambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One) is the teacher of gods and humans, may you witness our sincerity. At that time, King Rizi, in front of the Buddha and the assembly of Bhikshus (monks), confessed and revealed: 'We are like foolish children, our minds are confused, as if in darkness, as if without good roots. We thought of the Tathagata's Shravakas (disciples), and yet gave rise to slander. Excellent, World Honored One! May you resolve our doubts and regrets, we are willing to accept and uphold your teachings.' The World Honored One said: 'You should arouse a compassionate heart, uphold the precepts, and widely benefit all sentient beings.' King Rizi immediately rose from his seat, joined his palms in reverence. The Buddha said: 'Great King, please be seated.' At this time, King Rizi bowed his head to the ground in prostration, then sat to one side. King Rizi said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! My mind was reckless, I listened to the words of women, committed sinful deeds, and know that after my life ends, I will fall into hell. Excellent, World Honored One! Please speak of the faults of women.' The World Honored One told him: 'The actions of women are of many kinds, they confuse and disturb sentient beings, falsely display different appearances, are flattering and deceitful, their hearts are not true, they think perversely, are flattering and fraudulent, their actions and behaviors are all to forcefully seek closeness, they bind sentient beings, and constantly engage in evil practices, you must be aware of this.' The King said: 'World Honored One! May you grant compassion, and allow me to speak. If from now on I do not approach women, nor commit sinful deeds because of women, since I do not commit sins, I will not fall into hell. World Honored One! May I for a long time benefit and bring peace to all sentient beings.' The Buddha said: 'It is so, it is so.' King Rizi again said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! I have heard from the Buddha about the meaning of desire, and indeed it is because of women that one receives evil retribution.' The Buddha said: 'Great King! The allure of women is deeply entrenched, it is the source of parents who become enemies, it is the source of parents who are violent and evil, if one develops attachment to the allure of women, one will fall into hell; therefore, women have such faults.' The Buddha said: 'Great King! If you compare and measure the faults of men's lust, you will later' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 世父母眷属亦有其过。”

日子王白佛言:“世尊!善哉,善哉!丈夫之过与我解说,云何丈夫之过,父母眷属亦有其过?”   佛言:“大王!谛听,谛听!善思念之!我为汝说。”   世尊告言:“大王!若丈夫之过有其四种。”   大王问言:“四过云何?”   世尊答言:“大王!若丈夫耽着淫欲,被淫欲迷醉,由迷醉故,情意颠倒,由颠倒故,于其女人深生爱乐,于苾刍众中有持戒德行沙门、婆罗门,不欲见闻。由不欲见闻持戒德行沙门、婆罗门故,亦不亲近,亦不归依,亦不供养,于无戒无行沙门、婆罗门,亦复远离。又无信根,不修德行,不行布施,全无智慧,寡闻薄德,我慢贡高,行鬼神行。又复亲近无智,贪着恶法,乐着臭秽,远离善友,纵生天上人间,于自身命恒时呵毁。于沙门、婆罗门,不作护摩,于佛法僧,而复远离,于涅槃果德,而所弃背,长时忆念女人倡妓歌舞、饮酒、谈笑,如是缠缚而复命终,堕在众合、黑绳、等活、号叫、大号叫、炎热、极炎热阿鼻地狱,受种种苦。从地狱出生焰魔罗界;畜趣中生,为师子虎狼、诸恶禽兽;乃至孽路茶身,止铁叉树。大王!若丈夫如是行愚法行,获斯恶报,此是丈夫初过。”   尔时世尊而说偈言: “淫欲臭秽根 现代汉语译本:世俗的父母和亲属也有过错。 日子王(Rizhi Wang)对佛说:‘世尊!说得好,说得好!请您为我解释丈夫的过错,为什么说丈夫有过错,父母和亲属也有过错呢?’ 佛说:‘大王!仔细听,仔细听!好好思考!我为你解说。’ 世尊告诉日子王:‘大王!丈夫的过错有四种。’ 大王问道:‘是哪四种过错呢?’ 世尊回答说:‘大王!如果丈夫沉迷于淫欲,被淫欲迷惑,因为迷惑的缘故,情意颠倒,因为颠倒的缘故,对女人产生深深的爱恋,对于持戒有德行的比丘(Bichu)众、沙门(Shamen)、婆罗门(Poluomen),不愿意见到和听到。因为不愿意见到和听到持戒有德行的沙门、婆罗门,所以也不亲近,也不皈依,也不供养,对于没有戒律没有德行的沙门、婆罗门,也同样远离。又没有信根,不修德行,不行布施,完全没有智慧,见识浅薄,德行浅薄,我慢贡高,行鬼神之事。又亲近没有智慧的人,贪恋恶法,喜欢污秽,远离善友,即使投生到天上人间,也常常呵责自己的生命。对于沙门、婆罗门,不做护摩(Humo),对于佛法僧三宝,也远离,对于涅槃(Nirvana)的果德,也抛弃背离,长久地思念女人的歌舞、饮酒、谈笑,像这样被缠缚而死去,堕入众合地狱(Zhonghe Diyu)、黑绳地狱(Heisheng Diyu)、等活地狱(Denghuo Diyu)、号叫地狱(Haojiao Diyu)、大号叫地狱(Dahaojiao Diyu)、炎热地狱(Yanre Diyu)、极炎热地狱(Jiyanre Diyu)和阿鼻地狱(Abi Diyu),遭受种种痛苦。从地狱出生后,进入焰魔罗界(Yanmoluo Jie);在畜生道中,成为狮子、老虎、狼等各种恶禽猛兽;甚至成为孽路茶(Nielucha)身,被钉在铁叉树上。大王!如果丈夫像这样行愚痴之法,就会获得这样的恶报,这是丈夫的第一种过错。’ 这时,世尊说了偈语: ‘淫欲是臭秽的根源’

English version: The worldly parents and relatives also have their faults. King Rizhi said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! Excellent, excellent! Please explain to me the faults of a husband, and why it is said that if a husband has faults, his parents and relatives also have faults?' The Buddha said, 'Great King! Listen carefully, listen carefully! Think well! I will explain it to you.' The World Honored One told King Rizhi, 'Great King! A husband's faults are of four kinds.' The King asked, 'What are these four faults?' The World Honored One replied, 'Great King! If a husband is addicted to lust, intoxicated by lust, because of this intoxication, his mind is confused, and because of this confusion, he develops deep love for women. He does not wish to see or hear the Bhikshus (Bichu), Shramanas (Shamen), and Brahmins (Poluomen) who uphold precepts and have virtuous conduct. Because he does not wish to see or hear the Shramanas and Brahmins who uphold precepts and have virtuous conduct, he does not associate with them, does not take refuge in them, and does not make offerings to them. He also stays away from Shramanas and Brahmins who have no precepts and no virtuous conduct. Furthermore, he has no roots of faith, does not cultivate virtue, does not practice giving, has no wisdom at all, is shallow in knowledge and virtue, is arrogant and conceited, and engages in the practices of ghosts and spirits. He also associates with the unwise, is greedy for evil dharmas, delights in filth, stays away from good friends, and even if he is born in the heavens or among humans, he constantly criticizes his own life. He does not perform Homa (Humo) for the Shramanas and Brahmins, stays away from the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, and abandons the fruit of Nirvana (Nirvana). He constantly thinks of women's singing and dancing, drinking, and laughing. He is bound by these things and dies, falling into the Saṃghāta Hell (Zhonghe Diyu), the Kālasūtra Hell (Heisheng Diyu), the Saṃjīva Hell (Denghuo Diyu), the Raurava Hell (Haojiao Diyu), the Mahāraurava Hell (Dahaojiao Diyu), the Tapana Hell (Yanre Diyu), the Pratāpana Hell (Jiyanre Diyu), and the Avīci Hell (Abi Diyu), suffering all kinds of pain. After being born from hell, he enters the realm of Yama (Yanmoluo Jie); in the animal realm, he becomes lions, tigers, wolves, and various evil birds and beasts; even becoming a Nielucha (Nielucha) body, nailed to an iron fork tree. Great King! If a husband practices foolish dharmas in this way, he will receive such evil retribution. This is the first fault of a husband.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke a verse: 'Lust is the root of filth.'

不净,  过后常增业苦深,  聪慧法师呵欲染,  当生父母亦无益。  譬如广大不净坑,  满盛粪壤多臭秽,  亦似冢间膀胀尸,  淫欲之人亦如是。  复似蝇虫𠯗疮肿,  驴马奔眠粪秽中,  猪狗食啖臭鱼等,  耽爱女人亦如是。  破坏善名兼德行,  恒行毁禁具无惭,  不生天道堕阿鼻,  是故法师呵爱欲。  如人误饮恶毒药,  迷乱猖狂遍体疼,  不觉无常毒所中,  耽欲之人亦如是。  乐着美味便珍馔,  爱听歌音恋色声,  家事不思多忘失,  唯作轮回集苦因。  贪着淫欲常称赞,  不了愚迷粪袋身,  昼夜恒行下劣行,  薄福沈轮于恶趣。  赞美淫欲行非行,  多饶瞋恚长愚痴,  如履颠巍大险崖,  不觉须臾致失命。  既别人世阎浮界,  死堕无边业海中,  五峰围绕铁山间,  日月灯光全不见。  如风狂乱无知解,  往返纵横失路岐,  如是经生常住此,  一切世间无所重,  种种善业亦不生。  设有女男无孝敬,  弃背尊亲行五逆,  和合妻女倍殷勤,  张罗罪网无思虑,  堕落贪痴欲乐中。  父母远离无返复,  罔思育养报艰辛,  放逸耽淫着戏弄,  互相烦恼倍增多。  破坏修行疑 现代汉语译本 不净之物,过后常常会增加业报的痛苦, 聪慧的法师呵斥对欲望的贪恋,因为即使是父母也无法从中获益。 譬如一个巨大的不净坑,里面充满了粪便和污秽,散发着恶臭, 也像坟墓里肿胀腐烂的尸体,沉溺于淫欲的人也是如此。 又像苍蝇围绕着溃烂的疮肿,驴马在粪便中奔跑睡觉, 猪狗吃着腐臭的鱼等,沉溺于淫欲的人也是这样。 淫欲会破坏美好的名声和德行,使人经常做出违背戒律的无耻行为, 不能升入天道,反而会堕入阿鼻地狱(Avici,佛教中最底层的地狱),所以法师要呵斥爱欲。 就像人误喝了毒药,会迷乱疯狂,全身疼痛, 不觉察到无常的到来,被毒药所害,沉溺于欲望的人也是如此。 贪恋美味佳肴,喜欢听歌看戏, 不考虑家事,常常遗忘,只为轮回积累痛苦的根源。 贪恋淫欲,常常赞美它,不明白这愚痴的粪袋之身, 日夜都做下劣的行为,福报浅薄,沉沦于恶道。 赞美淫欲,做出不该做的事,会增长嗔恨和愚痴, 就像走在摇摇欲坠的悬崖边,不觉察到片刻就会丧命。 一旦离开人世,进入阎浮界(Jambudvipa,我们所居住的世界),死后就会堕入无边的业海中, 被五座铁山围绕,日月的光芒都无法看见。 就像狂风一样迷乱无知,往返纵横,迷失了道路, 这样生生世世都住在这里,一切世间的事物都不重要, 各种善业也无法产生。即使有儿女,也不会孝顺父母, 抛弃尊敬的亲人,做出五逆之罪(五种极恶的罪行),却对妻子儿女格外殷勤, 张罗着罪恶的罗网,不加思虑,堕落在贪婪、痴迷和欲望的快乐中。 远离父母,无法回报他们的养育之恩, 放纵自己,沉溺于淫欲和玩乐,互相烦恼,痛苦倍增。 破坏修行,产生疑惑。

English version Impure things, afterwards often increase the suffering of karma, Wise Dharma masters rebuke the attachment to desires, because even parents cannot benefit from it. It's like a huge impure pit, filled with feces and filth, emitting a foul odor, Also like a swollen and decaying corpse in a tomb, those who indulge in lust are the same. It's also like flies swarming around festering sores, donkeys and horses running and sleeping in dung, Pigs and dogs eating rotten fish, etc., those who indulge in lust are also like this. Lust destroys good reputation and virtue, causing people to constantly engage in shameless acts that violate precepts, Unable to ascend to the heavens, they will instead fall into Avici (the lowest level of hell in Buddhism), therefore Dharma masters must rebuke lust. It's like a person mistakenly drinking poison, becoming confused and frantic, with pain all over the body, Not realizing the arrival of impermanence, harmed by the poison, those who indulge in desire are the same. Greedy for delicious food, fond of listening to songs and watching plays, Not considering family matters, often forgetting, only accumulating the roots of suffering for reincarnation. Greedy for lust, often praising it, not understanding this foolish bag of feces body, Day and night engaging in inferior behavior, with shallow blessings, sinking into evil paths. Praising lust, doing what should not be done, will increase anger and ignorance, Like walking on the edge of a crumbling cliff, not realizing that one will lose their life in an instant. Once leaving the world and entering Jambudvipa (the world we live in), after death, one will fall into the boundless sea of karma, Surrounded by five iron mountains, the light of the sun and moon cannot be seen. Like a mad wind, confused and ignorant, going back and forth, losing one's way, Living here life after life, all worldly things are unimportant, Various good deeds cannot arise. Even if there are children, they will not be filial to their parents, Abandoning respected relatives, committing the five rebellious acts (five extremely evil acts), but being exceptionally diligent towards their wives and children, Setting up a net of sins, without thinking, falling into the pleasures of greed, delusion, and desire. Far from parents, unable to repay their nurturing grace, Indulging in lust and play, causing each other trouble, and increasing suffering. Destroying practice, creating doubts. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 种种,  不逢贤圣作良因,  乐行邪行受极苦,  不顾刑罚耻辱侵。  斗诤欺抄致杀伤,  隳张财贿离善友,  不生天道兼人趣,  死入阿鼻地狱中。  铁林青色攒锋刃,  猛焰煻煨烈火城,  剑树刀山遍地中,  洋铜热铁为浆馔,  如斯大苦因淫欲,  隐没菩提智慧根。  汝向女人生恐怖,  勿令亲近起攀缘,  人天善道若相应,  不久菩提自获得。
