English version: There is no time of peace—having fields, one worries about the fields; having houses, one worries about the houses. Cattle, horses, the six domestic animals, servants, money, clothing, food, and various possessions, one worries about them all together—thinking repeatedly, laboring and sighing, with worry and fear. Unexpected disasters, floods, fires, thieves, enemies, and creditors burn, wash away, and plunder, causing them to scatter and vanish. The poison of worry agitates the mind, with no time for relief. Resentment is knotted in the heart, unable to escape worry and distress. The mind is stubborn and cannot let go. Sometimes, one is thus destroyed, dying and ending life, abandoning everything and departing, with no one to follow. The noble and wealthy also have such afflictions, with countless worries and fears, toiling and suffering like this, with the body and mind exhausted, accompanied by chills, fevers, and pain. The poor and lowly, in hardship and lack, often have nothing. Without fields, they worry about wanting fields; without houses, they worry about wanting houses. Without cattle, horses, the six domestic animals, servants, money, clothing, food, and various possessions, they also worry about wanting to have them. Having a little, they lose a little; having this, they lose that, always thinking of being equal to others. Just when they want to have everything, it scatters and disappears. Suffering such worries and pain, they must seek again. Unable to obtain them in time, their thoughts are useless. The body and mind are exhausted, restless, with worry and distress following them. Toiling and suffering like this, they are also exhausted, accompanied by chills, fevers, and pain. Sometimes, they die young because of this, unwilling to do good, practice the Way, or advance in virtue. When their lifespan ends, they will depart alone. They will go to the paths of good and evil, and no one knows where they will go. People in the world—fathers and sons, brothers, husbands and wives, families, and relatives both near and far—should respect and love each other, without hating or envying each other. They should share what they have and do not have, without being greedy or stingy. Their words and expressions should always be kind, without contradicting or opposing each other. Sometimes, when there are disputes in their hearts, anger and resentment arise. The hatred in this life, with slight mutual hatred and envy, will become more intense in the next life, even turning into great enmity. Why is this so? The affairs of the world cause mutual harm. Although they do not immediately retaliate, they harbor poison in their hearts, accumulate anger, and knot resentment. Their spirits will naturally remember, unable to escape, and they will all retaliate against each other in the next life. People in the world, amidst desires and attachments, are born alone, die alone, depart alone, and come alone. They will go to places of suffering and joy, and they themselves will bear the consequences, with no one to take their place. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。善恶变化、殃福异处，宿豫严待，当独趣入。远到他所莫能见者，善恶自然追行所生。窈窈冥冥别离久长，道路不同会见无期，甚难甚难复得相值。何不弃众事，各曼强健时，努力勤修善，精进愿度世，可得极长生？如何不求道，安所须待，欲何乐乎？ “如是，世人不信作善得善、为道得道，不信人死更生、惠施得福，善恶之事都不信之，谓之不然终无有是。但坐此故，且自见之，更相瞻视，先后同然。转相承受父余教令，先人祖父素不为善、不识道德，身愚神闇，心塞意闭。死生之趣、善恶之道，自不能见，无有语者；吉凶祸福，竞各作之，无一怪也。生死常道转相嗣立，或父哭子、或子哭父，兄弟、夫妇更相哭泣，颠倒上下无常根本，皆当过去不可常保。教语开导，信之者少，是以生死流转无有休止。 “如此之人，曚冥抵突，不信经法，心无远虑，各欲快意；痴惑于爱欲，不达于道德；迷没于瞋怒，贪狼于财色。坐之不得道，当更恶趣苦，生死无穷已，哀哉甚可伤。或时室家，父子、兄弟、夫妇，一死一生更相哀愍，恩爱、思慕、忧念结缚，心意痛着迭相顾恋，穷日卒岁无有解已。教语道德心不开明，思想恩好不离情欲。惛曚闭塞，愚惑所覆，不能深思熟计、心自端政、专精行道、决断世事， 现代汉语译本：善恶的变化，灾祸与幸福的差异，都是前世的因果所预定的，应当独自承受。当到达他人无法看见的地方时，善恶的报应自然会跟随其所造的业力而生。在幽暗不明的轮回中，彼此分离的时间漫长，道路各异，相遇无期，实在是非常困难。为何不舍弃世俗的琐事，趁着身强力壮之时，努力勤修善业，精进修行以求度脱生死轮回，从而获得永恒的生命？为何不寻求真理之道，还要等待什么，又想追求什么快乐呢？ 世人不相信行善会得到善报，修道会证得真理，不相信人死后会转生，布施会得到福报。他们不相信善恶报应之事，认为这些都是虚妄不存在的。正是因为这种观念，他们只看到眼前，互相观望，前后都一样。他们转相承受父辈的教导，先人祖父本来就不行善，不认识道德，自身愚昧，神识昏暗，心意闭塞。他们自己看不到生死轮回的去向和善恶报应的道理，也没有人告诉他们；吉凶祸福，他们都随波逐流，不觉得奇怪。生死轮回的常道就这样世代相传，有时父亲为儿子哭泣，有时儿子为父亲哭泣，兄弟、夫妻之间也互相哭泣，颠倒上下，没有常住的根本，最终都会过去，无法永远保持。教导他们开悟，相信的人很少，所以生死轮回流转不息。 这样的人，在愚昧中横冲直撞，不相信佛经教法，心中没有长远的考虑，只求一时快意；他们被爱欲所迷惑，不明白道德的真谛；他们沉迷于嗔怒，贪婪于钱财美色。因为这些原因，他们无法得道，将要堕入更恶的苦难之中，生死轮回没有尽头，真是可悲可叹。有时一家人，父子、兄弟、夫妻，一个死去，一个活着，互相哀怜，被恩爱、思念、忧愁所束缚，心意痛苦地执着，互相顾恋，整天整年都没有解脱的时候。教导他们道德，他们的心却不开明，思想着恩爱，不离情欲。他们昏昧闭塞，被愚痴迷惑所覆盖，不能深入思考，不能使心端正，不能专心修行，不能决断世俗之事。

English version: The changes of good and evil, the differences between misfortune and happiness, are all predetermined by past causes, and one must bear them alone. When one reaches a place unseen by others, the retribution of good and evil will naturally follow the karma one has created. In the dim and obscure cycle of rebirth, the time of separation is long, the paths are different, and there is no expectation of meeting again, which is truly very difficult. Why not abandon worldly affairs, and while one is strong and healthy, strive to diligently cultivate good deeds, practice diligently to seek liberation from the cycle of birth and death, and thus attain eternal life? Why not seek the path of truth, what are you waiting for, and what happiness do you seek? People do not believe that doing good will bring good results, that practicing the path will lead to enlightenment, that people will be reborn after death, and that giving will bring blessings. They do not believe in the retribution of good and evil, thinking that these are all false and non-existent. It is because of this view that they only see the present, observing each other, and they are all the same. They inherit the teachings of their fathers, whose ancestors did not do good, did not know morality, were themselves ignorant, their minds were dim, and their hearts were closed. They cannot see the direction of the cycle of birth and death and the principles of good and evil retribution, and no one tells them; they follow the flow of good and bad fortune, and do not find it strange. The constant path of the cycle of birth and death is passed down from generation to generation, sometimes fathers weep for their sons, sometimes sons weep for their fathers, brothers and spouses also weep for each other, upside down, without a permanent foundation, and will eventually pass away, unable to be kept forever. When they are taught to awaken, few believe, so the cycle of birth and death continues without end. Such people, in their ignorance, rush about blindly, do not believe in the teachings of the scriptures, have no long-term considerations in their hearts, and only seek momentary pleasure; they are deluded by desires, do not understand the true meaning of morality; they are immersed in anger, and are greedy for wealth and beauty. Because of these reasons, they cannot attain the path, and will fall into even worse suffering, the cycle of birth and death has no end, it is truly sad and lamentable. Sometimes a family, father and son, brothers, husband and wife, one dies and one lives, they pity each other, bound by love, longing, and worry, their minds painfully attached, and they miss each other, day in and day out without release. When they are taught morality, their hearts do not open up, they think of love and do not leave desires. They are dim and closed, covered by the delusion of ignorance, unable to think deeply, unable to make their hearts upright, unable to concentrate on practice, and unable to make decisions about worldly affairs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

便旋至竟年寿终尽不能得道，无可奈何。 “总猥愦扰皆贪爱欲，惑道者众、悟之者寡，世间匆匆，无可聊赖。尊卑、上下、贫富、贵贱，勤苦匆务各怀杀毒，恶气窈冥为妄兴事，违逆天地不从人心，自然非恶先随与之。恣听所为待其罪极，其寿未尽便顿夺之。下入恶道，累世怼苦展转其中，数千亿劫无有出期。痛不可言，甚可哀愍。” 佛告弥勒菩萨、诸天人等：“我今语汝世间之事，人用是故，坐不得道。当熟思计远离众恶，择其善者勤而行之。爱欲荣华不可常保，皆当别离无可乐者。曼佛在世当勤精进，其有至愿生安乐国者，可得智慧明达、功德殊胜；勿得随心所欲，亏负经戒在人后也。傥有疑意不解经者，可具问佛，当为说之。” 弥勒菩萨长跪白言：“佛威神尊重，所说快善，听佛经者贯心思之。世人实尔如佛所言，今佛慈愍显示大道，耳目开明长得度脱，闻佛所说莫不欢喜。诸天、人民、蠕动之类，皆蒙慈恩解脱忧苦。佛语教诫甚深甚善，智慧明见八方、上下、去来今事，莫不究畅。今我众等所以蒙得度脱，皆佛前世求道之时谦苦所致。恩德普覆，福禄巍巍，光明彻照达空无极；开入泥洹，教授典揽威制消化，感动十方无穷无极。佛为法王尊超众圣，普为一切天人之师，随心所愿皆令 现代汉语译本 于是他们便一直到寿命终尽都不能得道，无可奈何。 ‘总而言之，他们都被各种烦恼和贪爱欲望所困扰，迷惑于道的人多，而领悟的人少。世间匆匆忙忙，没有什么可以依赖。无论尊卑、上下、贫富、贵贱，都各自怀着杀戮的毒心，忙于各种事务。他们心中充满邪恶之气，暗中做着虚妄的事情，违背天地规律，不顺应人心，自然而然地，灾祸就会先降临到他们身上。他们放纵自己的行为，等到罪恶达到极点，寿命未尽就被立即夺走。他们堕入恶道，在其中累世遭受痛苦，辗转轮回，数千亿劫都无法脱离。痛苦难以言说，实在令人哀怜。’ 佛告诉弥勒菩萨（未来佛）和诸天人等：‘我现在告诉你们世间的事情，人们因为这些原因，所以不能得道。应当仔细思考，远离各种恶行，选择善良的行为并努力实践。贪爱欲望和荣华富贵不能长久保持，最终都会分离，没有什么值得留恋的。当佛还在世的时候，应当勤奋精进。那些真心发愿往生安乐国（极乐世界）的人，可以获得智慧通达、功德殊胜。不要随心所欲，违背经戒，落在他人之后。如果有人对经文有疑问不理解，可以详细地向佛请教，我会为你们解释。’ 弥勒菩萨长跪禀告说：‘佛的威神尊贵，所说的话语美好而正确，听闻佛经的人都用心思考。世人确实像佛所说的那样。现在佛慈悲怜悯，显示大道，使我们的耳目开明，长久地得到解脱。听闻佛所说的话，没有不欢喜的。诸天、人民、蠕动之类，都蒙受佛的慈恩，解脱忧愁痛苦。佛的教诲非常深刻而美好，智慧明见八方、上下、过去、现在和未来的事情，没有不通达的。我们现在能够得到解脱，都是佛前世求道时谦虚刻苦所致。佛的恩德普遍覆盖，福禄巍峨，光明彻照，达到空无的境界；开启进入涅槃（不生不灭的境界）的道路，教授经典，掌握威仪制度，感化十方世界，无穷无尽。佛是法王，尊贵超越众圣，普遍是所有天人的导师，随众生的心愿，都能让他们得到满足。’
