时提婆达多在佛左右，闻此语已心大瞋恚，即舍于佛，与其弟子往摩竭提国投阿阇世。而于中路有诸群乌急声鸣唤，翻飞乱扰；又逢恶牛欲触蹈之。其诸弟子见此相已而语之言：“我等今者观此诸瑞非为吉祥，若所去处必无利益。”提婆达多而答之言：“汝等愚痴，何所知耶？但急随我，不须多云。” 既到摩竭提国，语守门者：“汝入白王，道我在此。”时守门人即入白王。阿阇世王闻提婆达多来在外已，心大瞋恚而作是言：“乃至不欲闻其名字，何况而应眼见之耶？譬如雨雹摧折草木，在地不久还自消散；如此恶人亦复如是，教人行恶坏他善根，复还自败善根种子。”敕守门者勿听其前。 时提婆达多见阿阇世王不许前已，心大苦恼，举手拍头，切齿骂詈。时优波罗比丘尼从王宫出，而于门外见提婆达多即呵之言：“汝今释种不得炽盛，于佛法中作大留碍。” 时提婆达多闻此语已极大忿恚，即以手卷而打其头，彼比丘尼寻便命终。提婆达多又害罗汉比丘尼故，地即开裂，有大猛火缠绕其身牵入地狱。 尔时，世尊澡浴讫已，向诸比丘而说偈言： “譬如行恶道， 登涉长忧怖； 若到平坦处， 安隐无愁患。 生死险隘路， 众生恒 现代汉语译本：'慈悲怜悯，但他的苦业很快就会逼迫他。' 当时提婆达多在佛陀左右，听到这话后心中大怒，立刻离开佛陀，和他的弟子前往摩竭提国投奔阿阇世王。在路上，一群乌鸦发出急促的鸣叫，翻飞乱舞；又遇到凶猛的牛想要冲撞他们。他的弟子们看到这些景象后对他说：'我们现在看到这些征兆都不吉祥，如果去那里一定没有好处。'提婆达多回答说：'你们这些愚蠢的人，知道什么？只管跟着我，不要多说。' 到了摩竭提国后，他告诉守门人：'你进去禀告国王，说我在这里。'守门人立刻进去禀告国王。阿阇世王听到提婆达多在外面后，心中大怒，说道：'我甚至不想听到他的名字，更何况要亲眼见到他呢？就像冰雹摧毁草木，落在地上不久就会自己消散一样；这种恶人也是如此，教唆别人作恶，破坏他人的善根，最终也会自毁善根的种子。'命令守门人不要让他进来。 当时提婆达多见阿阇世王不许他进去，心中非常苦恼，举手拍头，咬牙切齿地咒骂。当时优波罗比丘尼从王宫出来，在门外见到提婆达多，就呵斥他说：'你这个释迦族的人，不能使佛法兴盛，反而对佛法造成很大的阻碍。' 当时提婆达多听到这话后非常愤怒，就用手卷起来打她的头，那位比丘尼立刻就死了。提婆达多又因为杀害了罗汉比丘尼，地面立刻裂开，有大火缠绕他的身体，把他拉入地狱。 那时，世尊洗浴完毕后，对众比丘说偈语： '譬如行走在恶道上， 攀登涉险充满忧惧； 若到达平坦之处， 安稳无忧无患。 生死险隘之路， 众生恒常'

English version: 'Compassionate, but his bad karma will soon force him.' At that time, Devadatta was by the Buddha's side. Upon hearing these words, he became very angry and immediately left the Buddha, going with his disciples to Magadha to seek refuge with King Ajatasatru. On the way, a flock of crows cried out urgently, flying and fluttering in disarray; they also encountered a fierce bull that tried to trample them. Seeing these omens, his disciples said to him, 'We see these signs as inauspicious; if we go there, it will surely bring no benefit.' Devadatta replied, 'You fools, what do you know? Just follow me and don't say more.' Having arrived in Magadha, he told the gatekeeper, 'Go and inform the king that I am here.' The gatekeeper immediately went to inform the king. Upon hearing that Devadatta was outside, King Ajatasatru became very angry and said, 'I do not even want to hear his name, let alone see him with my own eyes! Just as hailstones destroy plants and then quickly disappear after falling to the ground, so too is this evil person. He teaches others to do evil, destroys the good roots of others, and will ultimately destroy his own good roots.' He ordered the gatekeeper not to let him in. When Devadatta saw that King Ajatasatru would not allow him to enter, he became very distressed, raised his hand and slapped his head, gnashing his teeth and cursing. At that time, the Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna came out of the palace and, seeing Devadatta outside the gate, rebuked him, saying, 'You, of the Shakya clan, are not making the Dharma flourish, but are instead creating great obstacles to the Buddha's teachings.' Upon hearing these words, Devadatta became extremely enraged and struck her head with his hand, causing the Bhikkhuni to die immediately. Because Devadatta had also killed an Arhat Bhikkhuni, the ground immediately split open, and great flames engulfed his body, dragging him into hell. Then, after the World Honored One had finished bathing, he spoke these verses to the Bhikkhus: 'Like walking on an evil path, Climbing and wading through long fears; If one reaches a flat place, Peaceful and without sorrow or worry. The perilous path of birth and death, Sentient beings are always' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 恐怖； 唯有涅槃道， 行者获安隐。 我今欲至彼， 功德常乐处。”

尔时，世尊说此偈已，与阿难俱至王舍城，为众比丘广说诸法；渐次到巴连弗邑，为诸人民、长者、居士及梵志等广说诸法；渐次复到毗耶离城，为众离车及㮏女等广演诸法。 尔时，世尊举身疾生，处处皆痛，即便顾语尊者阿难：“我于今者身体皆痛，唯欲舍此朽故之身。阿难当知，若比丘、比丘尼得四神足，则能住寿一劫在世、若减一劫。况复如来所欲自在？”是时阿难魔所蔽故默然无答，乃至再三亦皆默然。 尔时，世尊语阿难言：“汝今可往到一树下，专精思惟，正观诸法。” 时魔波旬即来佛所，稽首礼足而白佛言：“我于往昔劝请世尊入于涅槃，于时世尊而答我言：‘我诸弟子——比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷——未具足故，所以未应入于涅槃。’世尊今者诸四部众皆悉具足，所度已毕，唯愿善逝速入涅槃。” 尔时，世尊即答魔言：“善哉，波旬！当知如来却后三月入于涅槃。”时魔波旬见佛许已，欢喜踊跃不能自胜，顶礼佛足还归天宫。 尔时，如来既许天魔却后三月当入涅槃，即便舍于无量之寿，以神通力故住命三月。于时大地六种震动，日无精光、风雨违常，天龙八部莫 现代汉语译本 ‘恐怖’，唯有涅槃（Nirvana，指脱离轮回的最终解脱）之道，修行者才能获得安稳。我现在想要到达那里，那个功德常在、快乐永恒的地方。 那时，世尊（指释迦牟尼佛）说完这偈语后，与阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）一同前往王舍城，为众比丘（bhikkhu，佛教出家男众）广泛宣讲佛法；逐渐到达巴连弗邑，为当地人民、长者、居士（upasaka，在家男信徒）以及梵志（Brahmin，古印度婆罗门教的祭司）等广泛宣讲佛法；又逐渐到达毗耶离城，为众离车（Licchavi，古印度部族）以及㮏女（ambapali，古印度著名妓女，后皈依佛教）等广泛演说佛法。 那时，世尊全身突然剧痛，处处都感到疼痛，于是就告诉尊者阿难：‘我现在身体各处都疼痛，只想舍弃这衰朽的身体。阿难应当知道，如果比丘、比丘尼（bhikkhuni，佛教出家女众）修得四神足（iddhipada，指欲、勤、心、观四种禅定力），就能住世一劫（kalpa，佛教时间单位，指极长的时间）或减少一劫。更何况如来（Tathagata，佛的称号）想要自在地住世呢？’当时阿难被魔（Mara，佛教中阻碍修行的魔）所蒙蔽，沉默不语，甚至再三询问也保持沉默。 那时，世尊对阿难说：‘你现在可以到一棵树下，专心思考，正确地观察诸法。’ 当时，魔波旬（Mara Papiyas，魔王）来到佛陀面前，稽首（头触地）礼拜佛足，对佛说：‘我过去曾劝请世尊入于涅槃，当时世尊回答我说：‘我的弟子——比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞（upasaka，在家男信徒）、优婆夷（upasika，在家女信徒）——尚未具足，所以不应入于涅槃。’世尊现在四部弟子都已具足，所要度化的人也已度完，希望善逝（Sugata，佛的称号）尽快入于涅槃。’ 那时，世尊回答魔说：‘很好，波旬！应当知道如来将在三个月后入于涅槃。’当时魔波旬见佛答应后，欢喜雀跃，不能自已，顶礼佛足后返回天宫。 那时，如来既然答应天魔将在三个月后入于涅槃，就舍弃了无量的寿命，以神通力维持生命三个月。当时大地发生六种震动，太阳失去光辉，风雨反常，天龙八部（Naga，佛教护法神）都感到悲伤。

English version 'Terror'; only through the path of Nirvana (the ultimate liberation from the cycle of rebirth) can a practitioner attain peace. I now wish to reach that place, where merit is constant and joy is eternal. At that time, the World-Honored One (referring to Shakyamuni Buddha), having spoken this verse, went with Ananda (one of the Buddha's ten principal disciples) to Rajagriha, where he extensively taught the Dharma to the assembled monks (bhikkhu, Buddhist male monastic); gradually reaching Pataliputra, he extensively taught the Dharma to the people, elders, lay followers (upasaka, male lay devotees), and Brahmins (priests of ancient Indian Brahmanism); then gradually reaching Vaishali, he extensively expounded the Dharma to the Licchavis (an ancient Indian tribe) and Ambapali (a famous courtesan of ancient India who later converted to Buddhism). At that time, the World-Honored One suddenly experienced severe pain throughout his body, and told the venerable Ananda, 'My body is now in pain everywhere, and I only wish to relinquish this decaying body. Ananda, you should know that if a monk or nun (bhikkhuni, Buddhist female monastic) has attained the four bases of spiritual power (iddhipada, referring to the four meditative powers of desire, effort, mind, and contemplation), they can live for a kalpa (a Buddhist unit of time, referring to an extremely long period) or less. How much more so can the Tathagata (an epithet of the Buddha) live as he wishes?' At that time, Ananda, being obscured by Mara (the demon who obstructs spiritual practice in Buddhism), remained silent, even when asked repeatedly. At that time, the World-Honored One said to Ananda, 'You may now go to the foot of a tree, concentrate your mind, and correctly observe the Dharma.' At that time, Mara Papiyas (the demon king) came to the Buddha, bowed his head to the ground at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha, 'In the past, I urged the World-Honored One to enter Nirvana, and at that time, the World-Honored One replied to me, 'My disciples—monks, nuns, laymen (upasaka, male lay devotees), and laywomen (upasika, female lay devotees)—are not yet complete, therefore I should not enter Nirvana.' Now, the fourfold assembly of the World-Honored One is complete, and those who were to be liberated have been liberated. May the Sugata (an epithet of the Buddha) quickly enter Nirvana.' At that time, the World-Honored One replied to Mara, 'Well done, Papiyas! You should know that the Tathagata will enter Nirvana in three months.' When Mara Papiyas saw that the Buddha had agreed, he was overjoyed and could not contain himself, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and returned to his heavenly palace. At that time, since the Tathagata had agreed with the demon that he would enter Nirvana in three months, he relinquished his immeasurable lifespan and, through his spiritual power, maintained his life for three months. At that time, the earth shook in six ways, the sun lost its light, the wind and rain were abnormal, and the eight classes of gods and dragons (Naga, Buddhist guardian deities) were all sorrowful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 不骇怖，来至佛所侧塞空中。

时尊者阿难见此相已心惊毛竖，疾诣佛所而白佛言：“今者何缘忽有此相？” 佛告阿难：“恶魔波旬向来我所，劝请于我令入涅槃。我已许之，即便舍寿，以神力故住命三月。” 阿难白佛言：“世尊常说四神足人则能住寿一劫、若减一劫，随意自在。云何如来不久住世同于诸行？” 于时如来答阿难言：“我向为汝说如此语，魔蔽汝故不知请住。我已许之，云何住寿？阿难当知，一切诸行法皆如是，不得常存。” 尔时，阿难闻佛此语，迷闷懊恼不能自胜，悲号啼泣深追悔责。尔时，世尊与阿难俱渐次游行到诸国界、村邑、聚落广说诸法，所可化度不可称计。渐次复到鸠尸那竭国力士生地熙连河侧娑罗双树间，而语阿难：“可安绳床而令北首，我今身体极大苦痛，入于中夜当取涅槃。” 阿难受教，施绳床已，佛即就卧，右胁着地。尔时，阿难见佛卧已，隐于佛后悲泣流泪，极大苦恼。世尊即便问诸比丘：“阿难今者为在何许？”诸比丘言：“近在于佛后垂泪忧恼。” 如来即以大悲梵音告阿难言：“汝今不应犹如婴儿而自啼泣。所以者何？生死之中皆悉如此，但当专念思惟诸法。汝从往昔看侍我来，身、口、意业极为纯善，未曾见汝 现代汉语译本 他们没有感到恐惧，来到佛陀所在之处，充满了整个空间。 当时，尊者阿难看到这种景象，心中惊恐，毛发竖立，他迅速来到佛陀面前，向佛陀禀告说：‘如今是什么原因突然出现这种景象？’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘恶魔波旬（Mara Papiyas，佛教中的魔王）刚才来到我这里，劝请我进入涅槃（Nirvana，佛教的最高境界）。我已经答应了他，即将舍弃寿命，但因为我的神通力，可以再住世三个月。’ 阿难向佛陀禀告说：‘世尊您常说，具有四神足（catvāri ṛddhipādāḥ，四种神通的基础）的人，可以住世一劫（kalpa，佛教的时间单位），或者减少一劫，都能随意自在。为什么如来（Tathagata，佛陀的称号）您不住世久一点，和普通人一样呢？’ 这时，如来回答阿难说：‘我之前对你说过这样的话，是因为魔障蒙蔽了你，你没有请求我住世。我已经答应了他，怎么还能住世呢？阿难，你应该知道，一切诸行法（saṃskāra，一切有为法）都是如此，不能永远存在。’ 当时，阿难听到佛陀这样说，感到迷茫、懊恼，无法控制自己，悲伤地哭泣，深深地追悔自责。这时，世尊和阿难一起逐渐到达各个国界、村庄、聚落，广泛地宣说佛法，所教化的人数不可计数。他们逐渐又来到拘尸那竭（Kushinagar，古印度城市名）国力士的出生地，在熙连河（Hiranyavati River）边的娑罗双树（Sal trees）之间，佛陀对阿难说：‘可以铺设绳床，让床头朝北，我现在身体非常痛苦，将在半夜进入涅槃。’ 阿难接受教诲，铺设好绳床后，佛陀就躺下，右胁着地。这时，阿难看到佛陀躺下后，躲在佛陀身后悲伤地哭泣，非常痛苦。世尊就问众比丘：‘阿难现在在哪里？’众比丘说：‘他就在佛陀身后，垂泪忧愁。’ 如来就用大悲的梵音（Brahma-svara，佛陀的声音）告诉阿难说：‘你现在不应该像婴儿一样哭泣。为什么呢？生死轮回之中都是如此，你应该专心思考诸法。你从过去到现在侍奉我，身、口、意业都非常纯善，我从未见过你
