大正藏第 12 册 No. 0378 佛说方等般泥洹经 No. 378 [No. 379] 佛说方等般泥洹经卷上 西晋月氏三藏竺法护译 哀泣品第一 闻如是： 一时佛游鸠夷那竭国双树间力士所生处。时佛欲般泥洹，告贤者阿难言：“多陀竭出于世间，般泥洹时本瑞云何？如今日宁见闻丛树间感应不乎？答吾所问。”尔时阿难以偈答佛言： “愿听我所梦， 其色近可怪， 忆夜之所见， 心窃为危惧。 梦此阎浮提， 有树生甚奇， 七宝杂挍成， 花实常丰茂， 覆盖佛世界， 其荫清且凉， 开发踊跃意， 灭除众忧病， 上行高无极， 姿好亦无数， 见者眼清净， 闻者耳彻听。 树出无量音， 清净之法音， 具足空寂灭， 则令一切安。 其树奋大光， 遍照东方刹， 其数如恒沙， 诸佛之国土； 亦照于十方， 蠕动荷救护， 一切蒙光者， 安隐难思议。 树出众名香， 器有百种分， 其有闻香者， 终不归恶道； 地狱以畜生， 及在饿鬼路， 于彼闻是香， 疾得生善处。 大树德如是， 苞润众生类， 忽然于树间， 没于力士地。 现代汉语译本 如是我闻： 一时，佛在拘夷那竭国（Kusinagara）双树间的力士出生地游化。当时，佛将要般涅槃（parinirvana），告诉贤者阿难（Ananda）说：‘如来（Tathagata）出现在世间，般涅槃时本来的祥瑞是什么样的？如今你是否见到或听到丛树间有什么感应？回答我的问题。’ 那时，阿难用偈颂回答佛说： ‘愿您听我说我所梦见的，那景象近乎怪异，回忆起夜里所见，心中暗自感到危惧。 梦见这阎浮提（Jambudvipa），有一棵树生长得非常奇异，由七宝（sapta ratna）杂合而成，花朵和果实总是丰茂，覆盖着佛的世界，它的树荫清凉，能使人开发踊跃之心，消除各种忧愁和疾病。 向上生长高耸无边，姿态美好也数不胜数，见到的人眼睛清净，听到的人耳朵通彻。 树发出无量的声音，是清净的法音，具足空寂灭的道理，能使一切众生安宁。 那树发出巨大的光芒，遍照东方如恒河沙数（Ganges）的诸佛国土，也照耀十方，使蠕动的众生得到救护，一切蒙受光芒的人，都安稳得难以思议。 树发出各种名贵的香气，器物有百种不同的形状，凡是闻到香气的人，最终都不会堕入恶道；地狱、畜生和饿鬼道的众生，在那里闻到这香气，都能迅速转生到善处。 这棵大树的功德就是这样，滋润着众生，忽然之间，在树林中，消失在力士之地。’

English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was traveling in the country of Kusinagara, between the twin trees at the birthplace of the Mallas. At that time, the Buddha was about to enter parinirvana, and he said to the venerable Ananda, 'When a Tathagata appears in the world, what are the original auspicious signs at the time of parinirvana? Do you now see or hear any responses among the trees? Answer my question.' Then, Ananda replied to the Buddha in verse: 'May you listen to what I dreamed, its appearance was almost strange, recalling what I saw at night, my heart secretly felt fear. I dreamed that in this Jambudvipa, there was a tree that grew very strangely, made of a mixture of seven treasures (sapta ratna), its flowers and fruits were always abundant, covering the Buddha's world, its shade was cool and refreshing, able to develop a joyful mind, and eliminate all worries and diseases. It grew upwards, infinitely high, its beautiful forms were countless, those who saw it had clear eyes, and those who heard it had clear ears. The tree emitted countless sounds, which were the pure sounds of the Dharma, embodying the principles of emptiness, tranquility, and extinction, enabling all beings to be at peace. That tree emitted great light, illuminating the Buddha lands in the east as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and also illuminating the ten directions, enabling all moving beings to receive protection, all who received the light were at peace beyond comprehension. The tree emitted various precious fragrances, and the vessels had a hundred different shapes, all who smelled the fragrance would never fall into evil paths; beings in hell, as animals, and in the realm of hungry ghosts, upon smelling this fragrance, could quickly be reborn in good places. The virtues of this great tree are such, nourishing all beings, and suddenly, in the midst of the trees, it disappeared into the land of the Mallas.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 于时无数千， 群萌不可计， 悲泣悉哀慕， 如盲失其目， 不复听其声， 亦不见树形， 犹不闻其香， 虚劣若饥人。 恐惧衣毛竖， 畏怖情使然， 于夜梦如是， 愿尊为解说。”

尔时净居天子、释、梵、四天王、魔子导师，各与八十那术之众，俱到力士所生处丛树间，前诣佛所，稽首作礼却住一面，同时举声为贤者阿难说偈言： “尊天今灭度， 阿难岂知耶？ 呜呼感恋毒， 佛将般泥曰。 大铠翳无明， 佛今欲灭度， 世尊般泥洹， 违远于拥护。” 于是佛为诸天子、释、梵、四天王、魔子导师说偈言： “汝等勿愁忧， 所梦无有异， 我于双树间， 今当般泥洹。 树中之最树， 奇妙难可量， 光香甚殷盛， 没于丛树下。 世尊譬大树， 复在丛树中， 寝处无有识， 如火得水消。 万物皆无常， 法起当有灭， 世雄之所了， 是故为人说。 阿难知之乎？ 佛尊犹泥曰， 造迦利比丘， 智通度彼岸。 阿难汝今往， 告敕释须檀， 尊者阿那律， 彻视度无极。 阿难行告语， 拘絺迦旃延、 分褥文陀弗、 菩提及摩夷、 须菩提面王、 善来觉 现代汉语译本 当时，无数千计的众生，像草木一样多得无法计算，他们悲伤哭泣，哀痛思慕，就像盲人失去了眼睛一样。 他们再也听不到佛的声音，也看不到佛的身影，甚至闻不到佛的香气，虚弱得像饥饿的人一样。 他们恐惧得汗毛倒竖，这是因为内心的畏惧所致，他们在夜里做了这样的梦，希望佛陀能为他们解说。 这时，净居天子（Suddhavasa Devas，色界天众）、释提桓因（Sakka，忉利天主）、梵天（Brahma，色界天主）、四大天王（Catummaharajika，欲界天主）、魔子导师（Mara's teacher，魔王的导师），各自带领八十那术（Niyuta，数量单位，约百万）的眷属，一同来到佛陀诞生处的丛林间，走到佛陀面前，顶礼膜拜后站立在一旁，同时高声为贤者阿难（Ananda，佛陀十大弟子之一）说偈语： ‘尊贵的佛陀今日将要灭度，阿难你可知道吗？’ ‘呜呼，这令人感伤的毒药，佛陀将要进入涅槃（Parinirvana，佛陀的最终寂灭）。’ ‘佛陀以大铠遮蔽无明，如今将要灭度，世尊进入涅槃，远离了我们的庇护。’ 于是，佛陀为诸天子、释提桓因、梵天、四大天王、魔子导师说偈语： ‘你们不要忧愁悲伤，你们所做的梦并没有什么不同，我将在双树（Sala trees，娑罗双树）之间，进入涅槃。’ ‘树中之最，奇妙难以衡量，光芒和香气非常盛大，却没入丛林之下。’ ‘世尊就像大树，又在丛林之中，安寝时没有知觉，如同火焰被水浇灭。’ ‘万物都是无常的，有生起就会有灭亡，这是世间英雄所了悟的真理，所以才为人们宣说。’ ‘阿难你知道吗？佛陀将要涅槃，造迦利比丘（Kala，佛陀弟子），智慧通达彼岸。’ ‘阿难你现在去，告诉释须檀（Sakya Suddhana，释迦族人），尊者阿那律（Anuruddha，佛陀十大弟子之一），他能彻见一切，度脱无极。’ ‘阿难你去告诉拘絺迦旃延（Katyayana，佛陀弟子）、分褥文陀弗（Purna Maitrayaniputra，佛陀十大弟子之一）、菩提（Bodhi，觉悟）及摩夷（Mahi，大地）、须菩提（Subhuti，佛陀十大弟子之一）面王（Mukhara，佛陀弟子）、善来觉（Sāgata，佛陀弟子）。’

English version At that time, countless thousands of beings, as numerous as plants, were beyond measure. They wept with sorrow and longing, like the blind who have lost their sight. They could no longer hear the Buddha's voice, nor see his form, nor even smell his fragrance, becoming as weak as the hungry. Their hair stood on end with fear, driven by their inner dread. They had such dreams in the night, and wished the Honored One to explain them. Then, the Suddhavasa Devas (Pure Abode Gods), Sakka (Indra, ruler of the Trayastrimsa heaven), Brahma (creator god), the Four Great Kings (Guardians of the four directions), and Mara's teacher, each with eighty niyutas (a large number) of followers, came together to the grove where the Buddha was born. They approached the Buddha, bowed their heads in reverence, and stood to one side. At the same time, they raised their voices and spoke these verses to the venerable Ananda (Buddha's attendant): 'The Honored One is about to pass away today, does Ananda know this?' 'Alas, this sorrowful poison, the Buddha is about to enter Parinirvana (final liberation).' 'The Buddha, with his great armor, has obscured ignorance, and now he is about to pass away. The World Honored One is entering Parinirvana, leaving us without protection.' Then, the Buddha spoke these verses to the gods, Sakka, Brahma, the Four Great Kings, and Mara's teacher: 'Do not be sad or worried, your dreams are not different. I will enter Parinirvana between the twin Sala trees (Shorea robusta).' 'The best of trees, wonderful and immeasurable, its light and fragrance were very abundant, yet it has sunk beneath the grove.' 'The World Honored One is like a great tree, also in the midst of the grove, resting without awareness, like a fire extinguished by water.' 'All things are impermanent, what arises must pass away. This is the truth understood by the hero of the world, and therefore it is taught to people.' 'Ananda, do you know? The Buddha is about to enter Nirvana. Kala (a disciple), the Bhikkhu, has wisdom that reaches the other shore.' 'Ananda, go now and tell Sakya Suddhana (a member of the Sakya clan), and the venerable Anuruddha (one of the Buddha's chief disciples), who sees all and crosses the boundless.' 'Ananda, go and tell Katyayana (a disciple), Purna Maitrayaniputra (one of the Buddha's chief disciples), Bodhi (enlightenment) and Mahi (earth), Subhuti (one of the Buddha's chief disciples), Mukhara (a disciple), and Sagata (a disciple).' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 薄拘、 难陀罗云停、 度知际马师， 一切诸比丘， 来度恐畏者， 疾去悉告语， 令知我泥曰。” 尔时阿难以偈答世尊言： “我身已疲极， 譬如饥羸人， 闻佛泥曰故， 愁惨不自胜， 其身无有力， 口亦不能言， 志意加怯劣， 世眼云何行？ 不任告尊者， 今世不可念， 适见便不现， 永失于拥护， 无护甚勤苦， 何忍任往告？ 尊老闻此问， 安能堪惶懅？ 世间大光明， 灭尽为甚疾， 弃世亦何速， 厄难遂盲冥。 不任诣长老， 陈此酸毒事， 正觉愿更遣， 无有愁戚者。” 于是佛为阿难说偈： “阿难巨亿大， 啼泣感悲哀， 宫殿难檀庐， 空虚无人天， 宣告诸比丘， 侍者之常业， 泥曰后来者， 得无益哀酷。”

尔时贤者阿那律于须弥山顶，为忉利诸天广讲法语。见诸大尊神妙天子各从宫殿遑遑不安，阿那律心念言：“此诸天子何故弃舍天妓之娱，扰扰上下或飞或走，眷属离散其处空虚忽不复现？”时阿那律从须弥顶遥见宝积山下之地，于是阿那律立须弥顶举声以偈赞叹佛言： “导利于群黎， 施世之安隐， 正觉为众祐， 云何便泥曰！ 呜呼 现代汉语译本 ‘薄拘’（Bhaggu），‘难陀罗云停’（Nandara-vaniya），‘度知际马师’（Dutiyajani-massaka），所有比丘们，来度脱那些恐惧的人，赶紧去告诉他们，让他们知道我即将涅槃。” 这时，阿难用偈语回答世尊说： “我的身体已经非常疲惫，就像一个饥饿虚弱的人，听到佛陀即将涅槃的消息，悲伤得无法自持。身体没有力气，嘴巴也说不出话，意志更加怯懦，世间的眼睛将如何运转？我无法去告诉那些尊者，这个世界已经不可留恋，刚刚见到就将消失，永远失去了庇护。没有庇护是多么的痛苦，我怎么忍心去告诉他们？那些年长的尊者听到这个消息，又怎能承受得住惊慌？世间的大光明，熄灭得如此之快，舍弃世间也如此迅速，灾难降临，一片黑暗。我无法去长老那里，陈述这令人痛苦的事情，愿正觉能够派遣其他人，没有悲伤的人去。” 于是，佛陀为阿难说了偈语： “阿难，你如此悲伤哭泣，宫殿和难檀庐（Nandana-vana）都显得空虚，没有天人。宣告诸位比丘，这是侍者的职责，涅槃之后来的人，不会因为哀伤而得到任何益处。” 这时，贤者阿那律在须弥山顶，为忉利诸天广泛宣讲佛法。他看到诸位大尊神妙的天子们，各自从宫殿里慌张不安地出来，阿那律心想：‘这些天子为何舍弃天妓的娱乐，如此慌乱地上下飞奔，眷属离散，他们的住所空虚，忽然消失不见？’这时，阿那律从须弥山顶遥望宝积山下的地方，于是阿那律站在须弥山顶，举声用偈语赞叹佛陀说： “引导众生，给予世间安稳，正觉是众生的庇护，为何就要涅槃！呜呼！”

English version ‘Bhaggu’, ‘Nandara-vaniya’, ‘Dutiyajani-massaka’, all the monks, come to deliver those who are in fear, quickly go and tell them, let them know that I am about to enter Nirvana.’ At that time, Ananda replied to the World Honored One with a verse: ‘My body is already very tired, like a hungry and weak person, hearing the news that the Buddha is about to enter Nirvana, I am so sad that I cannot control myself. My body has no strength, my mouth cannot speak, my will is even more timid, how will the eyes of the world function? I cannot go and tell those venerable ones, this world is no longer worth cherishing, it will disappear as soon as it is seen, and we will forever lose protection. Without protection, it is so painful, how can I bear to tell them? How can those elder venerable ones bear the panic when they hear this news? The great light of the world, extinguished so quickly, abandoning the world so quickly, disaster has come, and all is darkness. I cannot go to the elders and tell them this painful thing, may the Rightly Enlightened One send someone else, someone who is not sad.’ Then, the Buddha spoke a verse to Ananda: ‘Ananda, you are crying so sadly, the palaces and Nandana-vana appear empty, without gods or humans. Announce to all the monks, this is the duty of the attendant, those who come after Nirvana will not gain any benefit from sorrow.’ At this time, the wise Aniruddha, on the summit of Mount Sumeru, was widely preaching the Dharma to the gods of Trayastrimsa. He saw the great and divine heavenly sons, each coming out of their palaces in a state of panic. Aniruddha thought: ‘Why have these heavenly sons abandoned the pleasures of heavenly courtesans, and are rushing up and down in such a chaotic manner, their families scattered, their dwellings empty, and suddenly disappearing?’ At this time, Aniruddha looked from the summit of Mount Sumeru to the land below Mount Baoji. Then, Aniruddha stood on the summit of Mount Sumeru, raised his voice, and praised the Buddha with a verse: ‘Guiding all beings, giving peace to the world, the Rightly Enlightened One is the protection of all beings, why must you enter Nirvana! Alas!’
