日从地出、星宿云雨缤纷而陨;复有烟气从地而出,见七彗星现于天上;复梦天上有大火聚,遍空炽然,一时堕地。梦已寻觉心大惊战,即召诸臣,具陈斯梦:“此何祥耶?”臣答王言:“是佛涅槃不祥之相。佛灭度后,三界众生、六道有识,烦恼横起,故现大火从天落地;佛入灭度,月爱慈光、慧云普润悉皆灭没,即云月落;星落地者,佛涅槃后,八万律仪、一切戒法,众生违反,不依佛教,乃行邪法,堕于地狱;日出地者,佛涅槃后,三涂恶道苦聚日光出现世间;故感斯梦。” 王闻是语,将诸臣从夜半即来至拘尸城,见诸无数四兵之众,防卫拘尸无量重数,复见城门有咒术师防止外难。王见是已,即问咒师:“佛涅槃耶?”咒师答言:“佛涅槃来,已经四七,当今大众将分舍利。”王言:“佛入涅槃,我都不知,我于夜梦见不祥事,以问诸臣,方知如来入大涅槃。我欲入城礼拜如来金刚舍利,汝为通路。”咒师闻已,即听前入。 王至城内四衢道中,见师子座舍利金坛,复睹大众悲哀供养,王与徒众一时礼拜,悲泣流泪,右绕七匝,哀惨供养。尔时,王就大众请求如来一分舍利,还国供养。大众答言:“何晚至耶?佛已先说分布方法,舍利皆已各有所请,无有仁分,仁可还宫。”阿阇世王不果所请 现代汉语译本:太阳从地平线升起,星辰、云彩和雨水纷纷坠落;又有烟雾从地面升起,看到七颗彗星出现在天空;又梦见天上有巨大的火焰聚集,遍布天空燃烧,一时坠落到地面。梦醒后,心中惊恐战栗,立即召集众臣,详细陈述这个梦:‘这是什么预兆呢?’大臣回答说:‘这是佛陀涅槃的不祥之兆。佛陀灭度后,三界众生、六道有情,烦恼横生,所以出现大火从天而降;佛陀入灭,如同月亮的慈爱光辉、智慧的云彩普照都消失了,就像月亮陨落;星辰坠落,是佛陀涅槃后,八万律仪、一切戒律,众生违背,不遵循佛教,反而行邪法,堕入地狱;太阳从地平线升起,是佛陀涅槃后,三恶道苦难的日光出现在世间;所以感应到这样的梦。’ 国王听了这些话,就带领众臣从半夜来到拘尸城(Kushinagar),看到无数的四种军队,重重地防卫着拘尸城,又看到城门有咒术师防止外敌入侵。国王看到这些,就问咒师:‘佛陀涅槃了吗?’咒师回答说:‘佛陀涅槃已经四七(二十八天)了,现在大众正要分舍利。’国王说:‘佛陀入涅槃,我竟然不知道,我夜里梦见不祥之事,问了众臣,才知道如来(Tathagata)入大涅槃。我想要入城礼拜如来的金刚舍利,你为我开路。’咒师听了,就允许他进入。 国王来到城内四通八达的道路上,看到狮子座舍利金坛,又看到大众悲伤地供养,国王和随从一起礼拜,悲泣流泪,右绕七圈,哀伤地供养。当时,国王向大众请求如来的一份舍利,带回国供养。大众回答说:‘您怎么来晚了?佛陀已经事先说了分配方法,舍利都已经各有所属,没有您的份了,您可以回宫了。’阿阇世王(Ajatasatru)没有得到所求。

English version: The sun rose from the earth, and stars, clouds, and rain fell in a chaotic manner; then smoke arose from the ground, and seven comets appeared in the sky; also, he dreamt that a great fire gathered in the sky, burning intensely, and then fell to the ground all at once. Upon waking from the dream, his heart was filled with fear and trembling, and he immediately summoned his ministers, recounting the dream in detail: 'What is the omen of this?' The ministers replied to the king, 'This is an inauspicious sign of the Buddha's Nirvana. After the Buddha's passing, the beings of the three realms and the six paths of existence will have their afflictions arise, hence the great fire falling from the sky; the Buddha's entering Nirvana is like the compassionate light of the moon and the wisdom of the clouds disappearing, just like the moon falling; the falling of the stars signifies that after the Buddha's Nirvana, the eighty-four thousand precepts and all the rules of conduct will be violated by beings, who will not follow the Buddha's teachings but instead practice evil ways, falling into hell; the sun rising from the earth signifies that after the Buddha's Nirvana, the suffering of the three evil paths will appear in the world; hence, this dream was experienced.' Upon hearing these words, the king, along with his ministers, came from midnight to Kushinagar, seeing countless four divisions of troops, heavily guarding Kushinagar, and also saw sorcerers at the city gates preventing external threats. Seeing this, the king asked the sorcerers, 'Has the Buddha entered Nirvana?' The sorcerers replied, 'The Buddha entered Nirvana four sevens (twenty-eight days) ago, and now the assembly is about to divide the relics.' The king said, 'The Buddha entered Nirvana, and I was unaware. I dreamt of an inauspicious event last night, and upon asking my ministers, I learned that the Tathagata had entered Great Nirvana. I wish to enter the city to pay homage to the Tathagata's Vajra relics; please clear a path for me.' Upon hearing this, the sorcerers allowed him to enter. The king arrived at the crossroads within the city, saw the lion-seat relic golden altar, and also saw the assembly making offerings with sorrow. The king and his retinue paid homage together, weeping and shedding tears, circumambulating seven times to the right, and making offerings with grief. At that time, the king requested a portion of the Tathagata's relics from the assembly to take back to his kingdom for worship. The assembly replied, 'Why have you come so late? The Buddha had already specified the method of distribution, and the relics have all been allocated; there is no portion for you. You may return to your palace.' King Ajatasatru did not receive what he requested. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ,愁忧不乐,即礼舍利,惆怅而还。

不果所请,愁忧不乐,即礼舍利,悲恋而还。 尔时诸菩萨及声闻众、天人、龙鬼、国王、长者、大臣、人民、一切大众,悲号涕泣,捶胸大哭,五体投地,作礼而去。 大般涅槃经后分卷下 时迦毗罗等七国王臣不果所愿,心怀悲愤,慨恋而还,各至本邑,咸遣使臣同诣拘尸,再求舍利。城人报曰:“世尊慈父既于我界而般涅槃,全身舍利应留永劫于此供养,终不分与外邑诸人。”诸国答曰:“若分者善;若不与者,我等当以强力夺取。”城人告曰:“徒事斗诤,终不可得。”阇王复使雨行大臣驰兵请分,告城人曰:“若与者善;若不见分,我加兵力强夺将去。”答言:“任意。” 尔时,拘尸城中所有壮士男女,并闲弓射,即便总出,严整四兵,欲与诸邑交兵合战。尔时,毗离国诸梨车种遂集四兵,往拘尸城,在一面住;阿勒国诸刹帝利,亦集四兵,在一面住;毗耨国诸婆罗门,亦集四兵,在一面住;遮罗迦罗国诸释子,亦集四兵,在一面住;师伽国拘楼罗,亦集四兵,在一面住;波肩罗国力士,亦集四兵,往拘尸城,在一面住。尔时,拘尸那城七军围绕,为舍利故,各欲夺取。 尔时,大众中有一婆罗门姓烟,在八军中高声大唱:“拘尸城诸力士主听,佛无量劫积善修忍,诸君 现代汉语译本:未能如愿,他们愁苦忧伤,不快乐,只得向舍利(佛陀的遗骨)行礼,悲伤地恋恋不舍地离去。 当时,诸位菩萨(觉悟的修行者)和声闻众(佛陀的弟子)、天人、龙鬼、国王、长者、大臣、人民以及所有大众,都悲号痛哭,捶胸顿足,五体投地,行礼后离去。 《大般涅槃经》后分卷下 当时,迦毗罗(Kapila)等七位国王的大臣未能如愿,心中充满悲愤,慨叹留恋地返回,各自回到自己的都邑,都派遣使臣一同前往拘尸(Kushinagar),再次请求分舍利。城里的人回答说:‘世尊(佛陀)慈父既然在我们这里入般涅槃(涅槃,指佛陀的最终解脱),全身舍利应当永远留在这里供奉,绝不分给其他地方的人。’ 各国回答说:‘如果分给我们,那是最好;如果不给,我们就要用武力夺取。’ 城里的人告诉他们说:‘徒劳地争斗,最终也得不到。’ 阿阇(Ajatashatru)王又派遣雨行大臣率领军队前去请求分舍利,告诉城里的人说:‘如果给,那是最好;如果不给,我就要用武力强行夺走。’ 城里的人回答说:‘随你们的便。’ 当时,拘尸城中所有强壮的男女,都精通弓箭射术,立即全部出动,整顿好四种军队,想要与各地的军队交战。当时,毗离(Vriji)国的梨车(Licchavi)族人集结了四种军队,前往拘尸城,驻扎在一面;阿勒(Allaka)国的刹帝利(Kshatriya,武士阶层)也集结了四种军队,驻扎在一面;毗耨(Vethadipa)国的婆罗门(Brahmana,祭司阶层)也集结了四种军队,驻扎在一面;遮罗迦罗(Chala-kala)国的释子(Shakya,佛陀的宗族)也集结了四种军队,驻扎在一面;师伽(Shiga)国的拘楼罗(Kaurava)也集结了四种军队,驻扎在一面;波肩罗(Pava)国的力士也集结了四种军队,前往拘尸城,驻扎在一面。当时,拘尸那(Kushinagara)城被七支军队包围,为了舍利,各自都想夺取。 当时,大众中有一位婆罗门,姓烟,在八支军队中高声大喊:‘拘尸城的各位勇士们听着,佛陀无量劫以来积累善行,修习忍辱,各位'
