English version: After seven days had passed, the Great Sage Tathagata was about to emerge from the coffin. At that time, all the men and women within the city of Kushinagar, along with countless multitudes, once again wept with great sorrow, shaking the world. They also brought fragrant flowers, countless banners and canopies, and exquisite celestial music, casting them before the Buddha's coffin, offering them with mournful sobs. At this time, the multitude wept with grief, each using fine white cloth to cover their hands, with deep reverence, they lifted the Tathagata's body, with its thirty-two marks (thirty-two marks of a great man) of a great man, eighty minor marks (eighty minor marks of a great man), and indestructible diamond-like form of purple-gold, from the precious coffin, and gently placed it on a seven-jeweled bed. At that time, the multitude was overcome with great sorrow, their voices shaking all the Buddha worlds in the ten directions. They again brought all kinds of fragrant flowers, silk canopies, and music, offering them with deep reverence, fainting and sobbing, throwing themselves before the Tathagata. At this time, the multitude again wept with grief, their eyes filled with tears, each taking countless fragrant waters and fragrant mud, with deep reverence, from head to toe, they bathed the Tathagata's body, with its thirty-two marks, eighty minor marks, immeasurable merit, wisdom, and adornment, diamond-like firmness, and indestructible purple-gold color, and also washed the precious coffin, making it exquisitely pure. After the bathing was completed, the multitude again cried out loudly, weeping with grief, burning exquisite incense, scattering seven-jeweled flowers, countless jeweled banners and canopies, filling the ground and the sky, weeping with sorrow, offering to the Tathagata. At this time, the multitude all wept with muffled sobs, and then took countless exquisite tula cotton, from head to toe, wrapping the Tathagata's diamond-like body. After wrapping the body, they then used a thousand sheets of superior, exquisite, and priceless white cloth, layering them one after another over the tula cotton, wrapping the Tathagata's body. After wrapping the body, the multitude was overcome with great sorrow, crying out and fainting, and again brought fragrant flowers, banners, canopies, jeweled banners, and music, offering them with sobs. At this time, the multitude wept with grief, with deep reverence, each using white cloth to cover their hands, weeping with muffled sobs, together they helped the Tathagata into the precious coffin, filling it with fragrant oil, and the coffin door was immediately closed. At that time, the multitude was overcome with great sorrow, their voices shaking the world, and again they brought fragrant flowers, banners, canopies, and music, wailing and weeping. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ，供养宝棺。

尔时，一切大众所集微妙香木积高须弥，芬馥香气普薰世界，相重密次成大香楼，四面七宝庄严，幢盖、幡花、璎珞、杂彩遍空如云，以为庄严，人天音乐悲哀供养。是时，天人大众将欲举棺，置香楼上，复大悲哀，捶胸大叫，声震大千。复持幢盖、香花、音乐悲哀供养。是时，大众哀悼悲结，深重敬心，各以白㲲障手，共举如来大圣宝棺，置于庄严妙香楼上，复大号泣，绝而复稣，唱言：“苦哉！苦哉！何期孤露无有依恃。”悲咽流泪，复散香花、宝幢、幡盖、音乐、杂彩，一切尽心，悲哀供养。 尔时，如来大圣宝棺既上微妙宝香楼已，将欲举火，茶毗如来。是时，大众复大号哭，惊震大千，复更深重悲哀，供养大圣宝棺及妙香楼。尔时，一切大众哀泣盈目，各持七宝香烛，大如车轮，焰彩光明，遍照世界。一时大哭茶毗香楼，哀震大千一切世界，复以香花遍满供养。是时，宝烛至香楼所自然殄灭。是时，一切诸天复持无上七宝大烛焰光普照，悲哀流泪，投香楼所，皆悉殄灭。 尔时，一切海神持海中火七宝大烛、无数光焰，投香楼所亦皆殄灭。是时，大众长时号哭，一切供养，不知如来何缘未毕，投火香楼，茶毗不燃？ 尔时，世尊大悲普润，待迦叶众来至乃燃。时大 供奉着宝棺。 那时，所有聚集的大众用微妙的香木堆积成高耸如须弥山（Sumeru，佛教宇宙观中的中心山）的香堆，芬芳的香气普遍熏染整个世界，香堆紧密相连形成巨大的香楼，四面用七宝装饰，幢幡、宝盖、花朵、璎珞、各种彩带遍布天空如云，以此作为庄严，人天奏响悲哀的音乐进行供养。这时，天人和大众准备抬起棺木，放置在香楼上，又再次悲哀，捶胸大叫，声音震动整个大千世界。他们又拿着幢幡、宝盖、香花、音乐进行悲哀的供养。这时，大众哀悼悲伤至极，怀着深深的敬意，各自用白色的细布遮住手，共同抬起如来大圣的宝棺，放置在庄严的妙香楼上，又再次大声号哭，昏厥后又苏醒，哭喊道：‘苦啊！苦啊！怎么会如此孤苦无依。’他们悲伤哽咽，流着眼泪，又散布香花、宝幢、幡盖、音乐、各种彩带，竭尽全力，悲哀地进行供养。 那时，如来大圣的宝棺已经放置在微妙的宝香楼上，准备点火，荼毗（荼毗，佛教的火葬仪式）如来。这时，大众又再次大声号哭，震惊整个大千世界，更加深重地悲哀，供养大圣的宝棺和妙香楼。那时，所有大众眼含泪水，各自拿着七宝香烛，大如车轮，火焰色彩光明，照耀整个世界。他们同时大哭着点燃香楼，哀号声震动大千世界，又用香花遍满供养。这时，宝烛到了香楼处自然熄灭。这时，所有诸天又拿着无上的七宝大烛，火焰光芒普照，悲哀流泪，投向香楼处，也都全部熄灭。 那时，所有海神拿着海中的火焰七宝大烛，无数的光焰，投向香楼处也全部熄灭。这时，大众长时间号哭，进行各种供养，不知道如来是什么原因没有完成荼毗，投火到香楼，却无法点燃？ 那时，世尊大悲普润，等待迦叶（Kasyapa，佛陀十大弟子之一）等众到来才点燃。

offering the precious coffin. At that time, all the assembled multitude piled up exquisite fragrant wood into a mound as high as Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology), the fragrant aroma pervading the entire world. The mounds were closely connected, forming a great fragrant pavilion, adorned on all four sides with seven treasures. Banners, canopies, flowers, necklaces, and various colored ribbons filled the sky like clouds, serving as adornments. Humans and deities played mournful music in offering. Then, the heavenly beings and the multitude prepared to lift the coffin and place it on the fragrant pavilion. They were overcome with sorrow again, beating their chests and crying out, their voices shaking the entire great chiliocosm. They also held banners, canopies, fragrant flowers, and played music in mournful offering. At this time, the multitude was deeply grieved, their hearts filled with profound reverence. Each covered their hands with white fine cloth, and together they lifted the precious coffin of the great sage Tathagata, placing it on the adorned exquisite fragrant pavilion. They cried out loudly again, fainting and then reviving, lamenting, 'Woe! Woe! How can we be so orphaned and without support?' They sobbed, tears streaming down their faces, and scattered fragrant flowers, precious banners, canopies, music, and various colored ribbons, doing their utmost in mournful offering. At that time, the precious coffin of the great sage Tathagata had been placed on the exquisite fragrant pavilion. They were preparing to light the fire and cremate (cremate, the Buddhist funeral ritual) the Tathagata. Then, the multitude cried out loudly again, shaking the entire great chiliocosm, their sorrow deepening as they offered to the precious coffin of the great sage and the fragrant pavilion. At that time, all the multitude had tears in their eyes, each holding seven-treasure fragrant candles, as large as chariot wheels, their flames bright and colorful, illuminating the entire world. They simultaneously cried out and lit the fragrant pavilion, their mournful cries shaking the entire great chiliocosm. They also offered fragrant flowers everywhere. Then, the precious candles, upon reaching the fragrant pavilion, naturally extinguished. At this time, all the deities again held supreme seven-treasure great candles, their flames shining everywhere, and with tears of sorrow, they threw them towards the fragrant pavilion, but they all extinguished as well. At that time, all the sea gods held seven-treasure great candles with flames from the sea, countless rays of light, and threw them towards the fragrant pavilion, but they all extinguished as well. Then, the multitude cried out for a long time, making all kinds of offerings, not knowing why the Tathagata's cremation was not completed. They threw fire onto the fragrant pavilion, but it would not ignite? At that time, the World Honored One, with great compassion, waited for Kasyapa (Kasyapa, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) and his assembly to arrive before igniting the fire. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

迦叶与五百弟子在耆阇崛山，去拘尸城五十由旬，身心寂然，入于三昧。于正受中，倏尔心惊，举身战栗，从定中出，见诸山地皆大震动，即知如来已入涅槃。告诸弟子：“我佛大师入般涅槃，时经七日已入棺中。苦哉！苦哉！应当疾往至如来所。恐已茶毗，不得见佛三十二相、八十种好、真净色身。”迦叶以敬佛故，不敢飞空往如来所，即将弟子寻路疾行，悲哀速往，正满七日，至拘尸城城东路首。 迦叶遇见一婆罗门执一天花，随路而来。迦叶问言：“仁者何来？”答曰：“佛般涅槃，我于茶毗所来。”复问：“此是何花？”答言：“于茶毗所得此天花。”迦叶就乞，答言：“不得，我期将归拟示六亲家中供养。”迦叶就借着其顶上，便即闷绝，昏迷躄地，喑咽悲哽，良久乃苏。即自惟忖：“于此号泣不见如来八十种好紫磨色身，何所追益？”即与弟子疾共前进，至拘尸城北门而入。 于其城中入一僧坊，见诸比丘丛聚一处，语迦叶言：“汝等远来，深劳苦耶？安坐待食。”迦叶答言：“我之大师已入涅槃，我有何情安此待食？”诸比丘言：“汝师是谁？”答言：“汝不知耶？哀哉痛苦！大觉世尊今已涅槃。”比丘闻已，各大欢喜，而作是言：“快哉！快哉！如来在世禁制我等，戒律严峻，我等甚不 现代汉语译本 迦叶（Kasyapa，佛陀十大弟子之一）与五百弟子在耆阇崛山（Grdhrakuta，又名灵鹫山），距离拘尸城（Kusinagara，佛陀涅槃之地）五十由旬（yojana，古印度长度单位，约合7-15公里），身心寂静，进入禅定。在正受（samadhi，禅定状态）中，忽然心惊，全身战栗，从禅定中出来，看见各处山地都剧烈震动，立刻知道如来（Tathagata，佛陀的称号）已经入涅槃（Nirvana，佛教的最高境界）。他告诉弟子们：‘我们的佛陀大师已经入般涅槃（Parinirvana，佛陀的最终涅槃），时间已经过去七天，遗体已经放入棺木。悲痛啊！悲痛啊！我们应当赶快去如来那里。恐怕已经荼毗（cremation，火葬），就不能见到佛陀的三十二相（lakshana，佛陀的32种殊胜外貌特征）、八十种好（anuvyanjana，佛陀的80种细微美好特征）、真净色身（佛陀清净的身体）。’迦叶因为敬佛的缘故，不敢飞空前往如来处，就带着弟子们沿着道路快速行走，悲伤地快速前往，正好满了七天，到达拘尸城东边的路口。 迦叶遇见一位婆罗门（Brahmin，古印度祭司阶层）拿着一枝天花，沿着路走来。迦叶问道：‘仁者从哪里来？’回答说：‘佛陀入般涅槃，我从荼毗的地方来。’又问：‘这是什么花？’回答说：‘在荼毗的地方得到这枝天花。’迦叶就向他乞求，回答说：‘不能给，我打算带回家给六亲供养。’迦叶就借着摸他的头顶，立刻闷绝，昏迷倒地，哽咽悲泣，过了很久才苏醒。他自己思量：‘在这里号哭也见不到如来的八十种好、紫磨色身（佛陀的金色身躯），有什么用呢？’就和弟子们快速前进，到达拘尸城北门进入。 在城中进入一间僧房，看见众比丘（bhikkhu，佛教出家男众）聚集在一起，对迦叶说：‘你们远道而来，很辛苦吧？请安坐等待吃饭。’迦叶回答说：‘我的大师已经入涅槃，我有什么心情安然等待吃饭？’众比丘说：‘你的老师是谁？’回答说：‘你们不知道吗？哀哉痛苦！大觉世尊（Buddha，佛陀的称号）现在已经涅槃。’比丘们听了，都非常高兴，说：‘太好了！太好了！如来在世时禁制我们，戒律严厉，我们非常不自在。’

English version Kasyapa (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) and five hundred disciples were on Mount Grdhrakuta (also known as Vulture Peak), fifty yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of distance, approximately 7-15 kilometers) away from Kusinagara (the place of Buddha's Nirvana), their bodies and minds tranquil, entering into samadhi (meditative absorption). In the midst of this samadhi, suddenly their hearts were startled, their whole bodies trembled, and they emerged from their meditation, seeing that all the mountains and lands were greatly shaking. They immediately knew that the Tathagata (an epithet of the Buddha) had entered Nirvana (the ultimate state of liberation in Buddhism). He told his disciples, 'Our great master, the Buddha, has entered Parinirvana (the final Nirvana of the Buddha), and seven days have passed, his body has been placed in a coffin. Alas! Alas! We should quickly go to where the Tathagata is. I fear that he has already been cremated, and we will not be able to see the Buddha's thirty-two lakshanas (the 32 major marks of a Buddha), eighty anuvyanjanas (the 80 minor marks of a Buddha), and his pure and radiant body.' Kasyapa, out of reverence for the Buddha, did not dare to fly through the air to the Tathagata's place, but instead led his disciples along the road, walking quickly and sorrowfully. Exactly seven days had passed when they arrived at the eastern entrance of Kusinagara. Kasyapa encountered a Brahmin (a member of the priestly class in ancient India) holding a celestial flower, coming along the road. Kasyapa asked, 'Where do you come from, noble one?' He replied, 'The Buddha has entered Parinirvana, and I come from the place of cremation.' He further asked, 'What is this flower?' He replied, 'I obtained this celestial flower at the place of cremation.' Kasyapa then begged for it, but he replied, 'I cannot give it to you, I intend to take it home to offer it to my family.' Kasyapa then touched his head, and immediately fainted, collapsing to the ground, sobbing and weeping, and after a long time, he recovered. He thought to himself, 'What is the use of crying here when I cannot see the Tathagata's eighty minor marks and his golden body?' He then quickly advanced with his disciples, entering through the north gate of Kusinagara. Inside the city, they entered a monastery, where they saw many bhikkhus (Buddhist monks) gathered together. They said to Kasyapa, 'You have come from afar, you must be very tired. Please sit and wait for food.' Kasyapa replied, 'My master has entered Nirvana, how can I have the heart to sit and wait for food?' The bhikkhus said, 'Who is your teacher?' He replied, 'Do you not know? Alas, how painful! The great awakened one, the Buddha, has now entered Nirvana.' Upon hearing this, the bhikkhus were all very happy, saying, 'Excellent! Excellent! When the Tathagata was alive, he restricted us, the precepts were strict, and we were very uncomfortable.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
