尔时,释提桓因与诸大众从空而下,唱言:“苦哉!苦哉!”发声大哭,悲泣流泪,投如来前,闷绝躄地,久乃稣醒;悲哀哽咽,胡跪佛前,说偈哀叹: “如来历劫行苦行, 普为我等群生故, 得成无上正觉道, 等育众生如一子。 施法药中为上药, 疗病医中为胜医, 大慈悲云荫众生, 甘露慧雨雨一切。 慧日光照无明闇, 无明众生见圣道, 圣月慈光照六趣, 三有蒙光脱众苦。 何期于今舍大慈? 已入涅槃众不见。 本誓大悲今何在? 现代汉语译本 悲伤得无法自持,便在佛前用偈语悲叹: ‘世尊您往昔的本愿,是为了我们才居住在这堪忍的世界, 您隐藏了无量的自在神力,以贫贱所乐的教法来度化众生。 您方便地根据不同情况随宜说法,众生没有不得到安乐的, 您引导他们脱离三有(欲界、色界、无色界)的痛苦,最终都到达涅槃的道路。 如来如同慈母养育众生,普遍以大悲的乳汁哺育众生, 怎料想您一旦忽然舍弃我们,人天都孤苦无依。 可悲啊,众生善良的种子刚刚萌芽,没有甘露来滋养增长, 善芽渐渐衰败灭亡后,罪业相牵引,将堕入恶道。 奈何这个世界都变得空虚,众生正确的智慧之眼已经熄灭, 既然行走在无明的黑暗中,就会堕落三有,沉溺于痛苦。 奈何众生的罪业无法救赎,愿依靠您的舍利得到解脱, 恳请如来您的大悲之力,救护我们脱离苦难之地。 多么悲痛啊,这个罪恶的世界,如来您竟然舍弃我们进入涅槃。’ 这时,释提桓因(帝释天)与诸大众从空中下来,高呼:‘苦啊!苦啊!’发出巨大的哭声,悲伤地流着眼泪,投身在如来面前,昏厥倒地,过了很久才苏醒;悲哀地哽咽着,跪在佛前,用偈语哀叹: ‘如来您历经劫数修行苦行,都是为了我们这些众生, 才成就了无上正觉的佛道,平等地养育众生如同一个孩子。 您在施予的法药中是最好的药,在治疗疾病的医生中是最好的医生, 您以大慈悲的云朵荫蔽众生,以甘露般的智慧之雨滋润一切。 智慧的日光照耀无明的黑暗,无明的众生得以见到圣道, 圣洁的月光慈悲地照耀六道(天、人、阿修罗、畜生、饿鬼、地狱),三有(欲界、色界、无色界)都蒙受光明,脱离痛苦。 怎料想您如今舍弃大慈悲?已经进入涅槃,我们再也见不到您了。 您本来的誓愿和大悲心如今在哪里?’

English version Unable to contain their sorrow, they lamented before the Buddha with verses: 'World Honored One, your original vow in the past was to dwell in this Saha world for our sake, You concealed your immeasurable power of self-mastery, and used the Dharma that the poor delight in to liberate sentient beings. You expediently spoke according to the circumstances, and all sentient beings received peace and joy, You guided them to escape the suffering of the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm), and ultimately all reached the path of Nirvana. The Tathagata is like a compassionate mother nurturing sentient beings, universally feeding them with the milk of great compassion, How could we have imagined that you would suddenly abandon us, leaving gods and humans orphaned and without refuge. Alas, the seeds of goodness in sentient beings have just sprouted, and there is no sweet dew to nourish their growth, As the good sprouts gradually wither and die, they will be drawn by karmic forces and fall into evil paths. How can the world be so empty, the eyes of true wisdom in sentient beings have been extinguished, Since they walk in the darkness of ignorance, they will fall into the three realms and drown in suffering. How can the sins of sentient beings be saved? May we rely on your relics to attain liberation, We implore the great compassionate power of the Tathagata to protect us and deliver us from this land of suffering. How painful it is, this evil world, that the Tathagata has abandoned us and entered Nirvana.' At that time, Shakra Devanam Indra (the lord of the gods) and the great assembly descended from the sky, crying out, 'Suffering! Suffering!' They wept loudly, tears streaming down their faces, and threw themselves before the Tathagata, fainting and collapsing to the ground. After a long time, they revived; sobbing with grief, they knelt before the Buddha and lamented with verses: 'Tathagata, you practiced asceticism for countless kalpas, all for the sake of us sentient beings, You attained the unsurpassed enlightenment of Buddhahood, and nurtured all sentient beings equally like your own child. Among the medicines you give, you are the best medicine, and among the doctors who heal diseases, you are the best doctor, You cover sentient beings with the clouds of great compassion, and nourish all with the rain of wisdom like sweet dew. The sunlight of wisdom illuminates the darkness of ignorance, and ignorant sentient beings are able to see the holy path, The holy moonlight of compassion shines upon the six realms (gods, humans, asuras, animals, hungry ghosts, hells), and the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm) receive light and escape suffering. How could we have imagined that you would abandon your great compassion today? You have already entered Nirvana, and we can no longer see you. Where is your original vow and great compassion now?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 弃舍众生如涕唾。 我等一切诸众生, 如犊失母必当死, 四众互相执手哭, 捶胸大哀动三界。 苦哉苦哉诸有人, 如何一旦尽孤露, 我等福尽苦何甚? 善芽燋燃无复润。 唯愿法宝舍利光, 照我令脱三有苦。 哀哉痛哉我等众, 几何重得见如来?”

尔时,楼逗悲哀号泣,伤悼无量,胡跪佛前,以偈悲赞: “正觉法王育我等, 饮我法乳长法身, 众生法身未成立, 又复慧命少资粮。 应以八音常演畅, 令众闻已悉悟道; 常放大慈五色光, 令众蒙光皆解脱。 如何今日永涅槃? 行苦众生何依趣? 苦哉!世尊舍大悲, 我等孤穷必当死。 虽知世尊现方便, 我等无能不悲哀。 四众迷闷昏失心, 哀动天地震三界, 世尊独处大安乐, 众生大苦欲何之? 世尊往昔为我等, 众劫舍头截手足, 得成无上正觉道, 不久住世即涅槃。 我及四众处无明, 魔王欣庆舍甲胄。 哀哉世尊愿大悲, 舍利慈光摄我等, 伏请世尊愍四众, 法宝流润愿不穷。 我等不能即殒灭, 苟存余命能几何? 苦哉痛切难堪忍, 重见世尊无复期。” 尔时,阿难闷绝渐醒,举手拍头, 现代汉语译本 (佛陀)抛弃众生如同丢弃鼻涕唾沫。 我们所有这些众生,就像失去母亲的小牛必定会死亡一样。 四众弟子互相拉着手哭泣,捶打胸膛,极度悲哀,震动了三界。 苦啊,苦啊,所有的人们,怎么一下子就都孤零零地暴露在外了呢? 我们的福报已经耗尽,痛苦是多么深重啊?善的幼苗被烧焦,再也没有滋润了。 只希望佛法的宝藏舍利的光芒,照耀我们,使我们脱离三有(欲界、色界、无色界)的痛苦。 悲哀啊,痛苦啊,我们这些众生,要多久才能再次见到如来(佛陀)呢?” 这时,楼逗(一位弟子)悲哀地号啕大哭,伤心哀悼,无法计量,他跪在佛前,用偈颂悲伤地赞叹: ‘正觉法王(佛陀)养育我们,用佛法的乳汁哺育我们,使我们的法身成长。 众生的法身还没有建立起来,又缺乏智慧生命的资粮。 应该用八种音声(佛陀说法时的八种特质)经常宣讲佛法,使众生听了之后都能领悟真理。 经常放出大慈悲的五色光芒,使众生蒙受光芒都能解脱。 为什么今天就要永远涅槃(佛陀的最终寂灭)呢?在苦海中挣扎的众生将依靠什么呢? 苦啊!世尊(佛陀)舍弃了大慈悲,我们这些孤苦伶仃的人必定会死去。 虽然知道世尊是示现方便(佛陀的教化方式),我们还是无法不悲哀。 四众弟子迷茫昏乱,失去了心智,悲哀震动了天地,震动了三界。 世尊独自处于大安乐之中,众生遭受如此巨大的痛苦,将要到哪里去呢? 世尊过去为了我们,在无数劫中舍弃头颅,砍断手足, 才成就了无上正觉的佛道,却不久住世就要涅槃。 我和四众弟子都处于无明(对真理的无知)之中,魔王欣喜庆祝,脱下了铠甲。 悲哀啊,世尊,愿您大发慈悲,用舍利的慈光摄受我们, 恳请世尊怜悯四众弟子,愿佛法的宝藏永远流传,永不枯竭。 我们不能立刻就死去,苟延残喘又能活多久呢? 痛苦啊,悲伤啊,难以忍受,想要再次见到世尊,已经没有希望了。’ 这时,阿难(佛陀的侍者)昏厥过去,渐渐醒来,举起手拍打头部,

English version '(The Buddha) abandons sentient beings like discarding snot and spittle.' 'We, all these sentient beings, are like calves that have lost their mothers and are sure to die.' 'The four assemblies (monks, nuns, laymen, laywomen) hold each other's hands and weep, beating their chests in great sorrow, shaking the three realms.' 'How bitter, how bitter, all you people, how can you all be so suddenly left alone and exposed?' 'Our blessings are exhausted, how deep is our suffering? The sprouts of goodness are scorched and no longer nourished.' 'We only wish that the light of the Dharma treasure, the relics, would shine upon us, enabling us to escape the suffering of the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm).' 'Alas, how painful, we sentient beings, how long will it be before we see the Tathagata (Buddha) again?' At that time, Lou Dou (a disciple) wept bitterly, grieving immeasurably. He knelt before the Buddha and praised him with a sorrowful verse: 'The King of Right Enlightenment (Buddha) has nurtured us, nourished our Dharma bodies with the milk of the Dharma, causing them to grow.' 'The Dharma bodies of sentient beings have not yet been established, and they lack the resources for their wisdom lives.' 'You should constantly expound the Dharma with eight kinds of sounds (eight qualities of the Buddha's speech), so that all who hear it may awaken to the truth.' 'You should constantly emit the five-colored light of great compassion, so that all who are bathed in the light may be liberated.' 'Why must you enter Nirvana (the Buddha's final passing away) forever today? What will beings struggling in the sea of suffering rely on?' 'How bitter! The World Honored One (Buddha) has abandoned great compassion, and we, the orphaned and destitute, are sure to die.' 'Although we know that the World Honored One is manifesting skillful means (the Buddha's way of teaching), we cannot help but grieve.' 'The four assemblies are confused and disoriented, having lost their minds. Their sorrow shakes the heavens and the earth, shaking the three realms.' 'The World Honored One dwells alone in great bliss, while sentient beings suffer so greatly, where will they go?' 'In the past, for our sake, the World Honored One sacrificed his head, cut off his hands and feet in countless eons,' 'and attained the unsurpassed path of Right Enlightenment, yet he will soon enter Nirvana without dwelling in the world for long.' 'I and the four assemblies are in ignorance (ignorance of the truth), and the demon king rejoices, taking off his armor.' 'Alas, World Honored One, may you have great compassion, and with the compassionate light of your relics, gather us in,' 'We beseech the World Honored One to have pity on the four assemblies, may the treasure of the Dharma flow forever, never to be exhausted.' 'We cannot die immediately, how long can we survive by clinging to life?' 'How painful, how sorrowful, it is unbearable, there is no hope of seeing the World Honored One again.' At that time, Ananda (the Buddha's attendant) fainted, gradually regaining consciousness, he raised his hand and struck his head, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

捶胸哽咽,悲泣流泪,哀不自胜,长跪佛前,以偈悲叹: “我昔与佛誓愿力, 幸共同生释种中, 如来得成正觉道, 我为侍者二十载。 深心敬养情未足, 一旦见弃入涅槃, 痛哉!哀哉!荼毒苦, 无极长夜痛切心。 我身未脱诸有网, 无明之㲉未出离, 世尊慧㭰未啄破, 如何见舍疾涅槃? 我如初生之婴儿, 失母不久必当死。 世尊如何见放舍, 独出三界受安乐? 我今忏悔于世尊, 侍佛已来二十年, 四威仪中多懈堕, 不能悦可大圣心。 愿正觉尊大慈悲, 施我甘露令安乐, 我愿穷尽未来际, 常觐世尊为侍者。 唯愿世尊大慈光, 一切世界摄受我, 痛哉痛哉不可说! 喑咽何能陈圣恩?” 尔时,无数亿恒河沙菩萨、一切世间天人大众,互相执手,悲泣流泪,哀不自胜,各相裁抑。即皆自办无数微妙香花、曼陀罗花、摩诃曼陀罗花、曼殊沙花、摩诃曼殊沙花、无数天上人间海岸栴檀沉水、百千万种和香、无数香泥、香水、宝盖、宝幢、宝幡、真珠、璎珞,遍满虚空,投如来前,悲哀供养。 尔时,拘尸城内男女大小一切人众悲哀流泪,各办无数微妙香花、幡盖等,倍胜于前,投如来所,悲哀供养。尔 现代汉语译本 捶胸顿足,哽咽悲泣,泪流满面,悲伤得不能自已,长跪在佛前,用偈语悲叹道: ‘我过去与佛发下誓愿,有幸一同出生在释迦种族中, 如来您成就正觉之道,我做了您二十年的侍者。 我内心深深地敬奉供养您,却仍觉不足,一旦见到您舍弃我们进入涅槃, 真是痛苦啊!悲哀啊!这如同毒药般的苦楚,在无尽的长夜里深深地刺痛我的心。 我自身还未脱离各种存在的束缚,无明的遮蔽还未摆脱, 世尊的智慧之光还未照破我的愚昧,怎么能眼睁睁看着您舍弃我们,迅速进入涅槃呢? 我就像刚出生的婴儿,失去了母亲不久必定会死去。 世尊您怎么能舍弃我们,独自超出三界享受安乐呢? 我现在向世尊忏悔,侍奉佛陀这二十年来, 在行住坐卧四种威仪中多有懈怠,不能让大圣的心欢喜。 愿正觉的世尊您大发慈悲,赐予我甘露,让我得到安乐, 我愿穷尽未来,永远侍奉在世尊身边做侍者。 只愿世尊您的大慈悲之光,能够照耀一切世界,摄受我, 真是痛苦啊,痛苦得无法言说!哽咽着,又怎能陈述完您的圣恩呢?’ 当时,无数亿恒河沙数的菩萨、一切世间的天人大众,互相拉着手,悲泣流泪,悲伤得不能自已,各自互相劝慰。 他们立即各自准备了无数微妙的香花、曼陀罗花(mandarava,天界之花)、摩诃曼陀罗花(mahamandarava,大曼陀罗花)、曼殊沙花(manjusaka,天界之花)、摩诃曼殊沙花(mahamanjusaka,大曼殊沙花)、无数天上人间海岸的栴檀(candana,一种香木)沉水、成百上千种和香、无数香泥、香水、宝盖、宝幢、宝幡、珍珠、璎珞,遍满虚空,投向如来面前,悲哀地供养。 当时,拘尸城内男女老少所有的人都悲哀流泪,各自准备了无数微妙的香花、幡盖等,比之前更加盛大,投向如来所在之处,悲哀地供养。
