English version: When there is greed, speech and countenance should be gentle, not conflicting or opposing, or if there is contention in the heart with resentment and anger. The slight hatred and jealousy of this life will become more intense in the next life, even forming great grudges. Why is this so? Because the affairs of this life lead to a desire to harm each other, even if not immediately attacking and killing, the sorrow and resentment in the heart will form a spiritual poison, naturally remembered and impossible to escape, all will face each other, and in the next life, they will retaliate against each other. People in this world, amidst love and desire, come alone, leave alone, experience birth and death, and will go to their respective places of suffering and joy. The body bears it alone, and no one can take their place. The changes of good and evil, the calamities and blessings are different, the karma of past lives is already prepared, and they will ascend alone to a distant place, reaching other realms, and no one can see where they have gone. Good and evil naturally pursue rebirth, in darkness and long separation, the paths are different, and there is no hope of meeting again, it is very difficult to meet again. Why not abandon worldly affairs, each strive to do good while strong, diligently cultivate to pass through this life, and thus obtain a very long life? Yet they are unwilling to seek the truth, what else are they waiting for, what pleasure are they pursuing? Like this, people in the world do not believe that doing good will bring good results, do not believe that cultivating the path will attain the path, do not believe that there is rebirth after death, do not believe that giving will bring blessings, they do not believe any of these things. They also think that these are not right, saying that these things do not exist, and it is only because of this that they see for themselves, observe each other, pass down from generation to generation, and accept the teachings of their fathers. The ancestors and grandfathers originally did not do good, originally did not cultivate the path, they themselves were ignorant, their spirits were dim, their hearts were closed, they could not see the heavenly path, and no one could see where people go after death, nor did they know where they would go, and precisely no one saw the path of good and evil. There was also no one to tell them the principles of doing good and evil, blessings, calamities, and punishments, and each competed to do what they wanted to do, and they did not find it strange. As for the path of birth and death, it continues endlessly, upside down, impermanence is the root, all will pass, and it is impossible to exist forever. Teaching and guidance, few believe in the truth, all will experience birth and death without end. People like this are ignorant and confused, do not believe in the teachings of the scriptures, each wants to satisfy their own desires, and do not think in their hearts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。愚痴于爱欲、不解于道德、迷惑于瞋怒、贪猥于财色。坐之不得道，当更勤苦极，在于恶处生，终不得止休息，痛之甚可伤。 “或时家室中外、父子、兄弟、夫妇，至于生死之义，更相哭泪转相思慕，忧念愤结恩爱绕续，心意痛着对相顾思，昼夜无有解时。教示道德心不开明，恩爱情欲不离，闭塞蒙蒙交错覆蔽，不得思计。心自端正决断世事，专精行道便旋至竟，年寿命尽不能得道，无可奈何。总猥愦譊皆贪爱欲，如是之法不解道者多、得道者少。 “世间匆匆无可聊赖，尊卑、上下、豪贵、贫富、男女、大小各自匆务，勤苦躬身各怀杀毒，恶气窈冥莫不惆怅。为妄作事，恶逆天地，不从仁心，道德非恶，先随与之，恣听所为。其寿未至便顿夺之，下入恶道，累世勤苦，展转愁毒，数千万亿岁无有出期，痛不可言，甚可怜愍。” 佛告阿逸菩萨等诸天、帝王、人民：“我皆语若曹世间之事，人用是故坐不得道。若曹熟思惟之，恶者当纵舍远离之，从其善者当坚持之，勿妄为非，益作诸善。大小、多少爱欲之荣皆不可常得，犹当别离无可乐者。劢佛世时，其有信爱佛经诸深、奉行道德，皆是我小弟也；其有甫欲学佛经戒者，皆是我弟子也；其有欲出身、去家舍妻子、绝去财色，欲来作沙门、为佛 现代汉语译本：沉溺于爱欲的愚痴，不理解道德，被嗔怒迷惑，贪婪于财富和美色。这样坐禅是无法得道的，应当更加勤奋刻苦，即使在恶劣的环境中出生，也终究无法停止休息，痛苦得令人伤心。 有时在家中内外，父子、兄弟、夫妻之间，到了生死的关头，互相哭泣流泪，转而思念对方，忧愁思念纠结，恩爱缠绕不断，心中痛苦地互相顾念，日夜没有停止的时候。教导他们道德，他们的心却不开明，恩爱和情欲无法割舍，闭塞昏暗，交错覆盖，无法思考。如果能自己端正心念，果断地处理世事，专心精进地修行，便能迅速达到目标，但往往寿命耗尽也无法得道，无可奈何。总而言之，所有混乱喧嚣都源于贪爱欲望，像这样不理解道的人很多，而得道的人很少。 世间匆匆忙忙，无可依赖，无论尊贵卑贱、地位高低、豪富贫穷、男女老少，各自忙碌，勤劳辛苦，却都怀着杀戮的毒心，邪恶的气息幽暗不明，没有不感到惆怅的。他们为了虚妄的事情而作恶，违背天地，不遵循仁爱之心，道德并非邪恶，却先顺从他们，放纵他们为所欲为。他们的寿命还没到就被突然夺走，堕入恶道，累世勤苦，辗转愁苦，数千万亿年都没有脱离的期限，痛苦得无法言说，实在可怜可悯。 佛告诉阿逸（Ajita，弥勒菩萨的别名）菩萨等诸天、帝王、人民：‘我告诉你们世间的事情，人们因为这些原因而无法得道。你们要仔细思考，邪恶的应当放纵舍弃，远离它，而善良的应当坚持，不要胡作非为，多做善事。无论大小、多少，爱欲的荣华都不能长久拥有，终将别离，没有什么值得留恋的。努力修行佛法的时候，那些信奉佛经的深奥道理、奉行道德的人，都是我的小弟；那些刚开始学习佛经戒律的人，都是我的弟子；那些想要出家、舍弃家庭妻子、断绝财富和情欲，来做沙门（Sramana，佛教出家修行者）、为佛’

English version: Being foolishly attached to love and desire, not understanding morality, confused by anger, and greedy for wealth and beauty. Sitting in meditation like this will not lead to enlightenment. One should be more diligent and hardworking. Even if born in an evil place, one will never find rest, and the pain is deeply distressing. Sometimes, within and outside the family, between fathers and sons, brothers, and husbands and wives, when facing matters of life and death, they cry and weep for each other, turning to miss one another. Worries and thoughts become entangled, love and affection continue to bind them. Their hearts ache as they think of each other, day and night without respite. When taught morality, their minds remain unenlightened. They cannot let go of love and desire. They are closed off, confused, and covered by a veil, unable to think clearly. If one could rectify one's mind, decisively handle worldly affairs, and diligently practice the path, one could quickly reach the goal. However, often, life ends without attaining enlightenment, leaving one helpless. In short, all the chaos and clamor stem from greed and desire. Many do not understand the path, while few attain enlightenment. The world is fleeting and unreliable. Whether noble or humble, high or low, rich or poor, male or female, young or old, each is busy with their own affairs, working hard, yet harboring murderous intent. An evil aura is dark and obscure, and none are without sorrow. They commit evil deeds for illusory things, going against heaven and earth, not following the heart of benevolence. Morality is not evil, yet they are indulged and allowed to do as they please. Before their lifespan is over, they are suddenly taken away, falling into evil realms. They suffer through countless lifetimes, turning in sorrow and pain, with no hope of escape for tens of millions of years. The pain is indescribable, truly pitiful and lamentable. The Buddha told Ajita (another name for Maitreya Bodhisattva) Bodhisattva and all the gods, kings, and people: 'I am telling you about the affairs of the world. It is because of these things that people cannot attain enlightenment. You should think carefully about this. Evil should be abandoned and distanced, while good should be upheld. Do not act recklessly and do more good deeds. Whether great or small, the glory of love and desire cannot be possessed forever. Eventually, there will be separation, and there is nothing to be attached to. When diligently practicing the Buddha's teachings, those who believe in the profound teachings of the Buddhist scriptures and practice morality are all my younger brothers. Those who have just begun to learn the precepts of the Buddhist scriptures are all my disciples. Those who wish to leave home, abandon their families and wives, and cut off wealth and desire, to become Sramanas (Buddhist renunciates) for the Buddha' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

作比丘者，皆是我子孙。我世甚难得值，其有愿欲生无量清净佛国者，可得智慧勇猛，为众所尊敬。勿得随心所欲，亏负经戒。在人后傥有疑意不解经者，复前问佛，佛当为若解之。” 阿逸菩萨长跪叉手言：“佛威神尊重，所说经快善。我曹听佛经语皆心贯思之：‘世人实尔，如佛所语无有异。’今佛慈哀我曹，开视天道教语生路，耳目聪明长得度脱，若得更生；我曹听佛经语，莫不慈心欢喜踊跃开解者。我曹及诸天、帝王、人民、蜎飞蠕动之类，皆蒙佛恩，无不得解脱忧苦者。佛诸教戒甚深，无极无底。佛智慧所见知，八方、上下、去来、现在之事无上、无边幅。佛甚难得值、经道甚难得闻，我曹皆慈心于佛所。今我曹得度脱者，皆是佛前世求道时慊苦学问，精进所致。恩德普覆，所施行福德相禄巍巍，光明彻照，洞虚无极，开入泥洹。教授经典，制威消化，愍动八方上下，无穷无极。佛为师法尊绝，群圣都无能及佛者。佛为八方上下诸天、帝王、人民作师，随其心所欲愿，大小皆令得道。今我曹得与佛相见，得闻无量清净佛声，我曹甚喜，莫不得黠慧开明者。” 佛告阿逸菩萨：“若言是，实当尔。若有慈心于佛所者，大喜实当念佛，天下久久乃复有佛耳。今我于苦世作佛所出经道，教授洞达、截 现代汉语译本：‘凡是成为比丘的人，都是我的子孙。我出现在世上非常难得，那些希望往生到无量清净佛国的人，可以获得智慧和勇猛，受到众人的尊敬。不要随心所欲，违背佛经的戒律。如果以后有人对佛经有疑问不理解，可以再来问佛，佛会为你们解答。’ 阿逸菩萨（未来佛，弥勒菩萨的别称）长跪合掌说道：‘佛的威德神力尊贵，所说的佛经非常精妙。我们听佛讲经，都用心思考：‘世人确实如此，和佛所说的一样没有差别。’现在佛慈悲怜悯我们，开启天道，教导我们走向光明之路，使我们耳聪目明，长久得到解脱，如果能够再次转生；我们听佛讲经，没有不心怀慈悲，欢喜踊跃，开悟理解的。我们以及诸天、帝王、人民、飞禽走兽等一切众生，都蒙受佛的恩德，没有不得解脱忧愁痛苦的。佛的教诲戒律非常深奥，没有边际。佛的智慧所见所知，八方、上下、过去、未来、现在的事情，都是无上、无边的。佛非常难得遇到，佛经教义非常难得听闻，我们都对佛怀有慈悲之心。现在我们能够得到解脱，都是因为佛前世求道时勤苦学习，精进修行所致。佛的恩德普遍覆盖，所施行的福德相貌巍峨，光明彻照，洞彻虚空，进入涅槃。佛教授经典，制定威仪，教化众生，怜悯八方上下，无穷无尽。佛是师中之尊，没有任何圣人能够比得上佛。佛为八方上下诸天、帝王、人民作导师，随顺他们的心愿，无论大小都能让他们得道。现在我们能够与佛相见，能够听闻无量清净的佛声，我们非常欢喜，没有不变得聪慧开明的。’ 佛告诉阿逸菩萨：‘你说的是对的，确实如此。如果有人对佛怀有慈悲之心，非常欢喜，确实应当念佛，天下很久很久才会再次有佛出现。现在我在这个充满苦难的世界成佛，所宣说的佛经教义，能够通达一切，斩断’

English version: 'Those who become Bhikkhus are all my descendants. It is very rare for me to appear in the world. Those who wish to be reborn in the immeasurable pure Buddha-lands can attain wisdom and courage, and be respected by all. Do not be willful and violate the precepts of the scriptures. If anyone later has doubts or does not understand the scriptures, they can come back and ask the Buddha, and the Buddha will explain it to you.' Ajita Bodhisattva (a future Buddha, another name for Maitreya Bodhisattva) knelt down with his palms together and said, 'The Buddha's majestic power is venerable, and the scriptures spoken are very wonderful. When we listen to the Buddha's teachings, we all contemplate in our hearts: 'The world is indeed like this, and there is no difference from what the Buddha says.' Now the Buddha has compassion on us, opens the path to heaven, and teaches us the way to enlightenment, making our ears and eyes clear, and allowing us to be liberated for a long time. If we can be reborn again; when we listen to the Buddha's teachings, there is no one who does not have a compassionate heart, rejoice, and understand. We, as well as the heavens, emperors, people, and all living beings, have received the Buddha's grace, and there is no one who is not liberated from sorrow and suffering. The Buddha's teachings and precepts are very profound and boundless. The Buddha's wisdom sees and knows all things in the eight directions, above, below, past, future, and present, which are supreme and boundless. It is very rare to encounter the Buddha, and it is very rare to hear the Buddha's teachings. We all have compassionate hearts towards the Buddha. Now that we are able to be liberated, it is all because of the Buddha's diligent study and practice in his previous lives when he sought the Way. The Buddha's grace covers all, and the blessings and virtues he has practiced are majestic, with light shining through, penetrating the void, and entering Nirvana. The Buddha teaches the scriptures, establishes rules of conduct, and compassionately moves all beings in the eight directions, above and below, without end. The Buddha is the most venerable of teachers, and no saint can compare to the Buddha. The Buddha is a teacher for all the heavens, emperors, and people in the eight directions, above and below, and according to their wishes, both great and small, he enables them to attain the Way. Now that we are able to see the Buddha and hear the immeasurable pure Buddha's voice, we are very happy, and there is no one who does not become wise and enlightened.' The Buddha said to Ajita Bodhisattva, 'What you say is correct, it is indeed so. If anyone has a compassionate heart towards the Buddha, is very happy, and should indeed be mindful of the Buddha, it will be a long time before a Buddha appears again in the world. Now that I have become a Buddha in this world full of suffering, the scriptures and teachings I proclaim can penetrate everything and cut off' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
