堪忍,不能依行;今已涅槃,严峻禁戒,已应放舍。汝且待食,有何急耶?”佛神力故,掩诸天耳、及大迦叶诸弟子等,皆悉不闻恶比丘语,唯有迦叶独自闻之。于是,迦叶即将弟子悲泣流泪,疾往佛所。   是时,迦叶与诸弟子窃共思念:“我等如何得诸供物,将至佛所供养如来?”迦叶复言:“我自生长在此城中,乞供养物亦应可得。”   将诸弟子即就城内,次第告乞,得妙白㲲足满千张,复得无数妙兜罗绵,复得无量宝花、香泥、香水、香油、宝幢、幡盖、音乐、弦歌、璎珞、杂彩,悉皆具足。迦叶与诸弟子悲哀流泪,即持疾往出城西门。   尔时,迦叶即闻茶毗之所一切大众悲咽号哭,共问帝释:“已供养讫,如何得火,然此香楼,茶毗如来?”帝释答言:“人众且待,摩诃迦叶即时而至。”释言未讫,一切大众正于哀中,即见迦叶与诸弟子寻路悲来,众即停哀,便为开路。   迦叶前进,遥见佛棺,将诸弟子一时礼拜,号哭哽咽,闷绝躄地,昏浊乱心,良久乃醒,流泪不胜,渐渐前行,问大众言:“如何得开大悲圣棺?”大众答言:“佛入涅槃已经二七,恐有损坏,如何得开?”迦叶答言:“如来之身,金刚坚固,常乐我净,不可沮坏,德香芬馥,若栴檀山。”作是语已,涕泗交流,至 现代汉语译本:'堪忍(能忍受)之人,不能依教奉行;如今佛陀已经涅槃,严厉的禁戒,也应该放下了。你且先等候吃饭,有什么急事呢?'因为佛陀的神力,遮蔽了诸天和摩诃迦叶(Mahakasyapa)等弟子的耳朵,都听不到恶比丘的话,只有迦叶独自听到了。于是,迦叶带着弟子们悲伤哭泣,赶紧前往佛陀所在之处。 这时,迦叶和弟子们私下思量:'我们如何才能得到供养之物,带到佛陀那里供养如来呢?'迦叶又说:'我从小生长在这个城里,乞求供养之物应该可以得到。' 于是,带着弟子们就到城里,依次乞讨,得到了上好的白色毛毯,足足有一千张,又得到了无数上好的兜罗绵(柔软的棉花),还得到了无量的宝花、香泥、香水、香油、宝幢、幡盖、音乐、弦歌、璎珞、杂彩,全都准备齐全。迦叶和弟子们悲伤流泪,拿着这些东西,赶紧前往城西门。 这时,迦叶听到荼毗(火葬)的地方,所有大众都在悲伤哭泣,共同问帝释(Indra):'已经供养完毕,如何才能得到火,点燃这香楼,荼毗如来呢?'帝释回答说:'大家稍等,摩诃迦叶马上就到。'帝释的话还没说完,所有大众正在悲伤之中,就看到迦叶和弟子们沿着路悲伤地赶来,大家立刻停止哭泣,为他们让开道路。 迦叶走上前,远远地看到佛陀的棺木,带着弟子们一起礼拜,号啕大哭,哽咽难言,昏厥倒地,心绪混乱,过了很久才醒来,流着眼泪,悲伤不已,慢慢地向前走,问大众说:'如何才能打开这大悲圣棺?'大众回答说:'佛陀入涅槃已经十四天了,恐怕会有损坏,如何能打开呢?'迦叶回答说:'如来的身体,金刚般坚固,常乐我净,不可毁坏,德香芬芳,如同栴檀山(Sandalwood Mountain)。'说完这些话,眼泪鼻涕一起流下,走到

English version: 'Those who are patient cannot follow the practice; now that the Buddha has entered Nirvana, the strict precepts should also be abandoned. You should wait for food, what is the hurry?' Because of the Buddha's divine power, the ears of the devas and Mahakasyapa's disciples were covered, and they could not hear the words of the evil monk, only Kasyapa heard it alone. Thereupon, Kasyapa, with his disciples, wept sadly and hurried to where the Buddha was. At this time, Kasyapa and his disciples secretly thought: 'How can we obtain offerings to bring to the Buddha to offer to the Tathagata?' Kasyapa also said: 'I have grown up in this city, and it should be possible to beg for offerings.' Then, taking his disciples, they went into the city and begged in order, obtaining a thousand fine white wool blankets, and countless fine kapok cotton, as well as immeasurable precious flowers, fragrant mud, fragrant water, fragrant oil, precious banners, canopies, music, stringed songs, necklaces, and various colors, all fully prepared. Kasyapa and his disciples wept sadly, and taking these things, they hurried to the west gate of the city. At this time, Kasyapa heard the great crowd weeping and wailing at the cremation site, and they jointly asked Indra: 'Having completed the offerings, how can we obtain fire to light this fragrant tower and cremate the Tathagata?' Indra replied: 'Everyone, please wait, Mahakasyapa will arrive soon.' Before Indra finished speaking, while the crowd was in sorrow, they saw Kasyapa and his disciples coming sadly along the road, and the crowd immediately stopped weeping and made way for them. Kasyapa went forward and saw the Buddha's coffin from afar. He and his disciples bowed together, wailing and sobbing, choking with grief, fainting and falling to the ground, their minds confused. After a long time, they woke up, tears flowing uncontrollably, and slowly moved forward, asking the crowd: 'How can we open this great compassionate holy coffin?' The crowd replied: 'The Buddha has entered Nirvana for fourteen days, and there may be damage, how can it be opened?' Kasyapa replied: 'The Tathagata's body is as firm as diamond, eternally joyful, pure, and indestructible, its virtuous fragrance is like the Sandalwood Mountain.' Having said these words, tears and snot flowed together, and he reached -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 佛棺所。

尔时,如来大悲平等,为迦叶故,棺自然开,白㲲千张及兜罗绵皆即解散,显出三十二相、八十种好、真金紫磨坚固色身。迦叶与诸弟子见已,闷绝躄地,喑咽哀哽,良久乃苏,涕泣盈目,与诸弟子徐上香楼,近佛棺边。复更喑咽,号哭悲哽,即以所得香花、幡盖、宝、幢璎珞、音乐、弦歌哀号供养,即以香泥、香水灌洗如来金色之身,烧香散花,哀泣供养。灌洗已讫,迦叶与诸弟子持其所得妙兜罗绵缠于如来紫磨色身,次以旧绵缠新绵上;兜罗缠已,复以所得白㲲千张,次第相重于兜罗上缠如来身;缠白㲲已,复持旧㲲着新㲲上,次第相缠;总缠已讫,棺门即闭,七宝璎珞,一切庄严。   尔时,迦叶复重悲哀,与诸弟子右绕七匝,盈目流泪,长跪合掌,说偈哀叹: “苦哉苦哉大圣尊,  我今荼毒苦切心。  世尊灭度一何速,  大悲不能留待我?  我于崛山禅定中,  遍观如来悉不见,  又观见佛已涅槃,  倏尔心战大震惊。  忽见闇云遍世界,  复睹山地大震动,  即知如来已涅槃,  故我疾来已不见。  世尊大悲不普我,  令我不见佛涅槃,  不蒙一言相教告,  我今孤露何所依?  世尊我今大痛苦,  情乱迷闷昏浊心,  我今为礼世尊顶、 现代汉语译本 在佛陀的棺椁之处。 那时,如来以大慈悲和平等的态度,为了迦叶(Mahakasyapa,佛陀十大弟子之一)的缘故,棺椁自然打开,一千张白色的细绢和兜罗绵都立即散开,显露出佛陀的三十二相(佛陀的32种殊胜的身体特征)、八十种好(佛陀的80种较小的身体特征),以及真金紫磨般坚固的色身。迦叶和他的弟子们看到后,昏厥倒地,哽咽哀号,过了很久才苏醒过来,泪流满面,和弟子们慢慢走上香楼,靠近佛陀的棺椁边。他们再次哽咽,号啕大哭,用他们所得到的香花、幡盖、宝幢璎珞、音乐、弦歌哀号供养,然后用香泥、香水灌洗如来金色的身体,烧香散花,哀泣供养。灌洗完毕后,迦叶和他的弟子们用他们得到的上等兜罗绵缠绕在如来紫磨色的身体上,然后用旧的棉布缠在新棉布之上;兜罗绵缠好后,又用他们得到的一千张白色细绢,依次重叠地缠在兜罗绵上,缠绕如来的身体;缠好白绢后,又用旧的细绢缠在新细绢之上,依次缠绕;全部缠好后,棺门就关闭了,用七宝璎珞等一切装饰品庄严。 这时,迦叶再次悲伤哀痛,和他的弟子们右绕棺椁七圈,泪流满面,长跪合掌,说偈哀叹: ‘苦啊苦啊,伟大的圣尊,我如今心中充满痛苦和毒害。 世尊涅槃的速度为何如此之快,大慈悲为何不能留下来等待我? 我在崛山(Grdhrakuta,灵鹫山,佛陀常说法之地)禅定中,遍观如来却都看不见, 又看到佛陀已经涅槃,顿时心中战栗,大为震惊。 忽然看到黑暗的云彩遍布世界,又看到山地发生大震动, 立即知道如来已经涅槃,所以我急忙赶来却已经看不见。 世尊的大慈悲没有普及到我,让我没有见到佛陀涅槃, 没有得到一句教诲,我如今孤苦伶仃,依靠什么呢? 世尊,我如今非常痛苦,心绪混乱,迷茫昏沉, 我如今要礼拜世尊的头顶,’

English version At the place of the Buddha's coffin. At that time, the Tathagata, with great compassion and equanimity, for the sake of Kasyapa (Mahakasyapa, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha), the coffin opened naturally, and a thousand sheets of white silk and fine cotton all immediately scattered, revealing the Buddha's thirty-two marks (the 32 major physical characteristics of the Buddha), eighty minor marks (the 80 minor physical characteristics of the Buddha), and a body of true gold, purple-polished, and firm. Kasyapa and his disciples, upon seeing this, fainted and fell to the ground, sobbing and wailing. After a long time, they regained consciousness, tears streaming down their faces, and slowly ascended the incense tower with their disciples, approaching the Buddha's coffin. They choked again, crying loudly, and made offerings with the incense, flowers, banners, canopies, jeweled streamers, necklaces, music, and songs they had obtained, then they washed the Tathagata's golden body with fragrant mud and water, burned incense, scattered flowers, and made offerings while weeping. After the washing was completed, Kasyapa and his disciples wrapped the Tathagata's purple-polished body with the fine cotton they had obtained, then wrapped the new cotton with the old cotton; after the fine cotton was wrapped, they used the thousand sheets of white silk they had obtained, wrapping them one after another over the fine cotton, wrapping the Tathagata's body; after wrapping the white silk, they wrapped the new silk with the old silk, wrapping them one after another; after all the wrapping was completed, the coffin door was closed, and it was adorned with all kinds of decorations, such as seven-jeweled necklaces. At this time, Kasyapa was again filled with grief and sorrow, and with his disciples, circumambulated the coffin seven times to the right, tears streaming down their faces, knelt down with palms together, and recited a verse of lament: 'Oh, the suffering, the suffering, the great and holy one, my heart is now filled with pain and poison. Why did the World Honored One pass into Nirvana so quickly, why could great compassion not stay and wait for me? While in meditation on Grdhrakuta (Vulture Peak, where the Buddha often taught), I looked everywhere for the Tathagata but could not see him, And then I saw that the Buddha had already entered Nirvana, and my heart trembled and was greatly shocked. Suddenly I saw dark clouds covering the world, and then I saw the mountains and earth shaking greatly, I immediately knew that the Tathagata had already entered Nirvana, so I rushed here but could no longer see him. The World Honored One's great compassion did not extend to me, preventing me from seeing the Buddha's Nirvana, I did not receive a single word of teaching, and now I am alone and helpless, what shall I rely on? World Honored One, I am now in great pain, my mind is confused, bewildered, and clouded, I now bow to the top of the World Honored One's head,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  为复哀礼如来胸、  为复敬礼大圣手、  为复悲礼如来腰、  为复敬礼如来脐、  为复深心礼佛足,  何苦不见佛涅槃?  惟愿示我敬礼处。  如来在世众安乐,  今入涅槃皆大苦。  哀哉哀哉深大苦,  大悲示教所礼处。”

尔时,迦叶哽咽悲哀,说是偈已,世尊大悲即现二足千辐轮相,出于棺外,回示迦叶,从千辐轮放千光明,遍照十方一切世界。尔时,迦叶与诸弟子见佛足已,一时礼拜千辐轮相,即更闷绝,昏迷躄地,良久乃醒。与诸弟子哀号哽咽,右绕七匝,绕七匝已,复礼佛足,悲哀哭泣,声震世界。复更说偈,哀叹佛足: “如来究竟大悲心,  平等慈光无二照,  众生有感无不应,  示我二足千辐轮。  我今深心归命礼,  千辐轮相二尊足,  千辐轮中放千光,  遍照十方普佛刹。  我今归依头面礼,  千辐轮相长光照,  众生遇光皆解脱,  三涂八难皆离苦。  我复归依头面礼,  轮光普救诸恶趣,  世尊往昔无数劫,  为我等故修苦行;  今证得此金刚体,  足下由放千光明,  悲哀稽首归命礼,  安于众生千辐轮。  佛修众德为一切,  修道树日降四魔,  四魔降已伏外道,  众生因此得正见。  稽首归依头 现代汉语译本 是应该再次悲伤地礼拜如来的胸膛呢? 是应该恭敬地礼拜大圣的手呢? 是应该悲痛地礼拜如来的腰部呢? 是应该恭敬地礼拜如来的肚脐呢? 还是应该以至诚之心礼拜佛的足部呢? 为何我们如此痛苦,以至于无法见到佛陀的涅槃? 只愿您能指示我们应该在哪里进行敬礼。 如来在世时,众生都安乐, 如今进入涅槃,大家都感到极大的痛苦。 哀哉!哀哉!这是多么深重的痛苦啊! 大悲的佛陀啊,请您指示我们应该礼拜的地方。” 当时,迦叶哽咽悲哀,说完这首偈颂后,世尊以大悲心,立即显现出双足的千辐轮相,从棺木外伸出,回示迦叶,从千辐轮中放出千道光明,普照十方一切世界。当时,迦叶和他的弟子们见到佛足后,一同礼拜千辐轮相,随即再次昏厥,倒地不起,过了很久才醒来。他和弟子们哀号哽咽,右绕佛身七圈,绕完七圈后,再次礼拜佛足,悲哀哭泣,声音震动世界。他们又说偈颂,哀叹佛足: ‘如来您拥有究竟的大悲心, 平等慈悲的光芒无差别地照耀一切, 众生有所感应,无不回应, 您向我们展示了双足的千辐轮相。 我如今以至诚之心归命礼拜, 礼拜这千辐轮相的双足, 千辐轮中放出千道光明, 普照十方一切佛土。 我如今归依,以头面礼拜, 礼拜这千辐轮相所发出的长久光明, 众生遇到这光明都能解脱, 脱离三恶道和八难的痛苦。 我再次归依,以头面礼拜, 礼拜这轮光普救一切恶道众生, 世尊您在过去无数劫中, 为了我们而修行苦行; 如今证得这金刚不坏之身, 足下依然放出千道光明, 我悲哀地稽首归命礼拜, 礼拜这安于众生的千辐轮。 佛陀您为了利益一切众生而修习各种功德, 在菩提树下修行时降伏了四魔(四种障碍修行的魔), 降伏四魔后又制服了外道, 众生因此得以获得正见。 我稽首归依,以头面礼拜,
