大正藏第 12 册 No. 0386 莲华面经 No. 386 莲华面经卷上(大乘修多罗藏) 隋天竺三藏那连提耶舍译 如是我闻： 一时佛住毗舍离猕猴池岸上大重阁中，如来不久当舍寿命。尔时，佛告阿难：“我今共汝往波波城，彼有长者名毗沙门德，吾欲化之。” 阿难言：“唯然！受如来教。”即随佛行。未入彼城有跋提河。佛告阿难：“我今疲极，可入河浴。”尔时世尊脱郁多罗僧，置河岸上入河澡洗。 佛告阿难：“汝可至心观如来身三十二相，以自庄严如是之身，却后三月当入涅槃。” 复告阿难：“汝当更观如来之身，如优昙花久远乃现，时时一出难出难见；如是佛身过于彼花百千万倍，难出难见。如是之身却后三月更不复现。” 复告阿难：“汝当更观如来之身，如花鬘师取贯花线，种种色花及种种香，结作花鬘，彼鬘成已睹者欢喜。如来身者三十二相、八十种好以自庄严，阎浮提金光色明炎圆光一寻。如是身者却后三月当般涅槃。” 复告阿难：“汝当更观如来之身，如三十三天所住之地百宝庄严，复有种种音乐快乐。彼诸天等，于彼宝地及天音乐不能暂舍，亦不能记彼地宝色。如是佛身三十二相不可遍观。何 现代汉语译本 如是我闻： 一时，佛陀住在毗舍离（Vaishali）猕猴池岸上的大重阁中，如来不久将舍弃寿命。当时，佛陀告诉阿难（Ananda）说：‘我现在和你一起去波波城（Pava），那里有一位长者名叫毗沙门德（Vishamanade），我想要度化他。’ 阿难说：‘是的，我接受如来的教诲。’随即跟随佛陀前行。在未进入那座城之前，有一条跋提河（Bhadra River）。佛陀告诉阿难说：‘我现在非常疲惫，可以到河里沐浴。’当时，世尊脱下郁多罗僧（uttarasanga，上衣），放在河岸上，然后进入河中洗浴。 佛陀告诉阿难说：‘你应当专心观察如来之身的三十二相（32 marks of a great man），以此庄严的身体，在三个月后将进入涅槃（Nirvana）。’ 又告诉阿难说：‘你应当再观察如来之身，如同优昙花（udumbara flower）一样，很久很久才出现一次，时时出现一次，难以出现，难以见到；如此佛身比那花还要难得百千万倍，难以出现，难以见到。这样的身体在三个月后将不再出现。’ 又告诉阿难说：‘你应当再观察如来之身，如同花鬘师（garland maker）取用贯穿花朵的线，用各种颜色的花和各种香，结成花鬘，那花鬘完成之后，看到的人都会欢喜。如来之身以三十二相、八十种好（80 minor marks of a great man）来庄严自己，阎浮提（Jambudvipa）金色的光芒，明亮而圆满，光芒一寻（a unit of measurement）。这样的身体在三个月后将般涅槃（Parinirvana）。’ 又告诉阿难说：‘你应当再观察如来之身，如同三十三天（Trayastrimsa Heaven）所居住的地方，用百宝来庄严，还有各种音乐和快乐。那些天人，对于那宝地和天上的音乐都不能暂时舍弃，也不能记住那地的宝色。如此佛身的三十二相，不能全部观察。为什么呢？’

English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in a great double-storied pavilion on the bank of the Monkey Pond in Vaishali (毗舍离), and the Tathagata was soon to relinquish his life. At that time, the Buddha said to Ananda (阿難): ‘I will now go with you to Pava (波波城), where there is an elder named Vishamanade (毗沙門德), and I wish to convert him.’ Ananda said: ‘Yes, I accept the Tathagata’s teaching.’ Then he followed the Buddha. Before entering that city, there was the Bhadra River (跋提河). The Buddha said to Ananda: ‘I am now very tired, I can go into the river to bathe.’ At that time, the World-Honored One took off his uttarasanga (郁多羅僧, upper robe), placed it on the riverbank, and entered the river to bathe. The Buddha said to Ananda: ‘You should attentively observe the Tathagata’s body with its thirty-two marks (三十二相), with which this body is adorned, and in three months it will enter Nirvana (涅槃).’ He further said to Ananda: ‘You should observe the Tathagata’s body again, like the udumbara flower (優曇花), which appears only after a very long time, rarely appearing and difficult to see; the Buddha’s body is a hundred thousand times more difficult to appear and to see than that flower. Such a body will no longer appear after three months.’ He further said to Ananda: ‘You should observe the Tathagata’s body again, like a garland maker (花鬘師) who takes a thread to string flowers, using various colors of flowers and various fragrances to make a garland, and when that garland is completed, those who see it are delighted. The Tathagata’s body is adorned with the thirty-two marks and eighty minor marks (八十種好), with the golden light of Jambudvipa (閻浮提), bright and round, with a radiance of one fathom (一尋). Such a body will enter Parinirvana (般涅槃) after three months.’ He further said to Ananda: ‘You should observe the Tathagata’s body again, like the place where the Thirty-three Heavens (三十三天) dwell, adorned with hundreds of treasures, and with various music and pleasures. Those devas cannot temporarily abandon that treasure land and heavenly music, nor can they remember the colors of the treasures of that land. The thirty-two marks of the Buddha’s body cannot be fully observed. Why is that?’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

以故？观一一相心不能舍。如是身者却后三月当般涅槃。” 复告阿难：“汝当更观如来之身，譬如日、月有大威德神通光明，在佛身边悉蔽不现，是故佛身过彼日月最尊最胜。如是之身却后三月当般涅槃。” 复告阿难：“譬如师子诸兽中王，如天帝释大伊罗钵象诸象中王。佛身亦尔，具大势力独步无畏。如是之身却后三月当般涅槃。” 复告阿难：“汝当更观如来之身，如须弥山王四宝所成，处于大海安住不动，其体坚实无有瑕隙。如来之身过那罗延力，百千万倍不可为比。如是之身却后三月当般涅槃。” 复告阿难：“如来之身，于无足、二足、多足众生，有色、无色、有想、无想、非有想、非无想众生之中，如来色身最尊最胜。如是之身却后三月当般涅槃。” 复告阿难：“如小千世界，千日、千月、千须弥山、千弗于逮、千瞿耶尼、千郁怛罗越、千阎浮提、千四天王、千三十三天、千帝释天王、千炎摩天、千炎摩天王、千兜率陀天、千兜率陀天王、千化乐天、千化乐天王、千他化自在天、千他化自在天王、千梵身天、千大梵天王，如是小千世界满中诸天，欲见如来面貌周尽，不能得见。何以故？如来面光如百千电炎，出过世间所有光明百千万倍。是故帝释大梵天等，常赞叹 现代汉语译本 因为什么呢？因为观察每一相，心中都不能舍弃。像这样的身体，过三个月后将要般涅槃（涅槃：佛教用语，指脱离生死轮回的境界）。” 又告诉阿难（阿难：释迦牟尼的十大弟子之一）说：‘你应当再观察如来的身体，譬如太阳、月亮有巨大的威德神通光明，在佛的身边都被遮蔽而不显现，所以佛的身体超过太阳月亮，最为尊贵殊胜。像这样的身体，过三个月后将要般涅槃。’ 又告诉阿难说：‘譬如狮子是各种野兽中的王者，如同天帝释（天帝释：佛教护法神）的大伊罗钵象（伊罗钵象：传说中天帝释的坐骑）是各种象中的王者。佛的身体也是这样，具有巨大的势力，独自行走而无所畏惧。像这样的身体，过三个月后将要般涅槃。’ 又告诉阿难说：‘你应当再观察如来的身体，如同须弥山王（须弥山王：佛教宇宙观中的中心山）由四宝所成，处于大海中安住不动，它的本体坚实没有瑕疵。如来的身体超过那罗延（那罗延：印度教神祇，被佛教吸收为护法神）的力量，百千万倍不可比拟。像这样的身体，过三个月后将要般涅槃。’ 又告诉阿难说：‘如来的身体，在无足、二足、多足的众生中，在有色、无色、有想、无想、非有想、非无想的众生中，如来的色身最为尊贵殊胜。像这样的身体，过三个月后将要般涅槃。’ 又告诉阿难说：‘如同小千世界（小千世界：佛教宇宙观中的一个单位），其中有千个太阳、千个月亮、千座须弥山、千个弗于逮（弗于逮：四大部洲之一）、千个瞿耶尼（瞿耶尼：四大部洲之一）、千个郁怛罗越（郁怛罗越：四大部洲之一）、千个阎浮提（阎浮提：四大部洲之一）、千个四天王（四天王：佛教护法神）、千个三十三天（三十三天：佛教欲界第二天）、千个帝释天王（帝释天王：三十三天的统治者）、千个炎摩天（炎摩天：佛教欲界第三天）、千个炎摩天王（炎摩天王：炎摩天的统治者）、千个兜率陀天（兜率陀天：佛教欲界第四天）、千个兜率陀天王（兜率陀天王：兜率陀天的统治者）、千个化乐天（化乐天：佛教欲界第五天）、千个化乐天王（化乐天王：化乐天的统治者）、千个他化自在天（他化自在天：佛教欲界第六天）、千个他化自在天王（他化自在天王：他化自在天的统治者）、千个梵身天（梵身天：佛教色界初禅天）、千个大梵天王（大梵天王：梵身天的统治者），像这样的小千世界中充满诸天，想要见到如来的面貌，周遍穷尽，也不能得见。为什么呢？因为如来的面光如同百千电光火焰，超出世间所有光明百千万倍。所以帝释、大梵天等，常常赞叹’

English version Why is that? Because observing each and every characteristic, the mind cannot let go. Such a body, after three months, will enter Parinirvana (Parinirvana: the final nirvana, the state of liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth).' He further told Ananda (Ananda: one of the ten principal disciples of Buddha): 'You should further observe the body of the Tathagata (Tathagata: an epithet of the Buddha), like the sun and moon which possess great power, virtue, and radiant light. When they are near the Buddha, they are all obscured and do not appear. Therefore, the Buddha's body surpasses the sun and moon, being the most honored and supreme. Such a body, after three months, will enter Parinirvana.' He further told Ananda: 'For example, the lion is the king among all beasts, like the great Airavata elephant (Airavata: the mount of Indra) of the Deva Indra (Deva Indra: a Buddhist guardian deity) is the king among all elephants. The Buddha's body is also like this, possessing great power, walking alone without fear. Such a body, after three months, will enter Parinirvana.' He further told Ananda: 'You should further observe the body of the Tathagata, like Mount Sumeru (Mount Sumeru: the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology), which is made of four treasures, standing firm and unmoving in the great ocean, its substance solid without any flaws. The body of the Tathagata surpasses the strength of Narayana (Narayana: a Hindu deity, adopted as a guardian deity in Buddhism) by a hundred million times, beyond comparison. Such a body, after three months, will enter Parinirvana.' He further told Ananda: 'The body of the Tathagata, among beings without feet, with two feet, and with many feet, among beings with form, without form, with perception, without perception, neither with perception nor without perception, the physical body of the Tathagata is the most honored and supreme. Such a body, after three months, will enter Parinirvana.' He further told Ananda: 'Like the small chiliocosm (small chiliocosm: a unit in Buddhist cosmology), which contains a thousand suns, a thousand moons, a thousand Mount Sumerus, a thousand Purva-videhas (Purva-videha: one of the four great continents), a thousand Aparagodaniyas (Aparagodaniya: one of the four great continents), a thousand Uttarakurus (Uttarakuru: one of the four great continents), a thousand Jambudvipas (Jambudvipa: one of the four great continents), a thousand Four Heavenly Kings (Four Heavenly Kings: Buddhist guardian deities), a thousand Trayastrimsa Heavens (Trayastrimsa Heavens: the second heaven in the desire realm), a thousand Deva Indras (Deva Indra: the ruler of the Trayastrimsa Heaven), a thousand Yamas Heavens (Yamas Heavens: the third heaven in the desire realm), a thousand Yama Devas (Yama Devas: the rulers of the Yama Heaven), a thousand Tusita Heavens (Tusita Heavens: the fourth heaven in the desire realm), a thousand Tusita Devas (Tusita Devas: the rulers of the Tusita Heaven), a thousand Nirmanarati Heavens (Nirmanarati Heavens: the fifth heaven in the desire realm), a thousand Nirmanarati Devas (Nirmanarati Devas: the rulers of the Nirmanarati Heaven), a thousand Paranirmitavasavartin Heavens (Paranirmitavasavartin Heavens: the sixth heaven in the desire realm), a thousand Paranirmitavasavartin Devas (Paranirmitavasavartin Devas: the rulers of the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven), a thousand Brahma-kaya Heavens (Brahma-kaya Heavens: the first dhyana heaven in the form realm), a thousand Maha-brahma Devas (Maha-brahma Devas: the rulers of the Brahma-kaya Heaven), such a small chiliocosm is filled with all the devas, who wish to see the face of the Tathagata, even if they try to see it completely, they cannot. Why is that? Because the light of the Tathagata's face is like a hundred thousand flames of lightning, surpassing all the light in the world by a hundred million times. Therefore, Deva Indra, Maha-brahma, and others, constantly praise' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

佛光明殊胜。如是之身却后三月当般涅槃。” 复告阿难：“莫作是念，如来不尽贪、瞋、痴故自赞己身。如来身者，贪、瞋、痴使及彼习气永尽无余。如是，阿难！如来、应供、正遍知有大威德，汝常供侍如来生身。以是因缘所得功德，不可量、不可数、不可思议，无量无边阿僧祇。阿难！汝今欲闻如来灭后未来众生供养如来碎身舍利因缘事不？” 尔时阿难，偏袒右肩右膝着地，合掌白佛言：“世尊！今正是时。大德婆伽婆！今正是时。唯愿如来，为我宣说佛涅槃后诸众生等供养如来碎身舍利因缘等事。我闻是法，至心受持广为他说。” 佛告阿难：“汝善谛听！我今当说。阿难！如来入涅槃时入金刚三昧，碎此肉身犹如芥子。如是一分舍利向诸天所。尔时帝释天王及诸天众，见佛舍利知佛涅槃，即雨天曼陀罗花、摩诃曼陀罗花、曼殊沙花、摩诃曼殊沙花供养舍利，如见佛身礼拜右绕，有种阿耨多罗三藐三菩提善根，有种声闻善根，有种辟支佛善根。 “有一分舍利向龙世界中，尔时娑伽罗龙王无量龙等，见佛舍利大设供养，以因陀罗宝、摩诃因陀罗宝、火珠宝、清水宝，如是无量种种诸宝，持用供养碎身舍利，礼拜右绕作供养已；是时龙等各自发愿，有发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提愿者，有 现代汉语译本：佛陀的光明非常殊胜。像这样的身体，在三个月后将进入涅槃。” 佛陀又告诉阿难：‘不要这样想，如来不是因为没有断尽贪、嗔、痴才赞叹自己的身体。如来的身体，贪、嗔、痴的烦恼以及它们的习气都已永远断尽，没有丝毫剩余。阿难，如来、应供、正遍知具有大威德，你经常侍奉如来的肉身。因为这个因缘所得到的功德，是不可衡量、不可计数、不可思议的，是无量无边阿僧祇的。阿难，你现在想听如来灭度后，未来众生供养如来碎身舍利的因缘吗？’ 这时，阿难偏袒右肩，右膝着地，合掌对佛说：‘世尊！现在正是时候。大德婆伽婆！现在正是时候。唯愿如来，为我宣说佛陀涅槃后，众生供养如来碎身舍利的因缘等事。我听闻这个法，会至心受持，并广为他人宣说。’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘你仔细听！我现在要说。阿难，如来进入涅槃时，会进入金刚三昧（一种禅定），将这个肉身碎成如芥子般大小。其中一部分舍利会去往诸天之处。那时，帝释天王（天界之主）和诸天众，见到佛陀的舍利，知道佛陀已经涅槃，就降下天曼陀罗花（天界之花）、摩诃曼陀罗花（大曼陀罗花）、曼殊沙花（天界之花）、摩诃曼殊沙花（大曼殊沙花）来供养舍利，如同见到佛陀的身体一样礼拜右绕，有的因此种下阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（无上正等正觉）的善根，有的种下声闻（听闻佛法而修行）的善根，有的种下辟支佛（独自觉悟）的善根。 ‘有一部分舍利会去往龙的世界中，那时娑伽罗龙王（龙王名）和无数的龙等，见到佛陀的舍利，大设供养，用因陀罗宝（帝释天的宝物）、摩诃因陀罗宝（大因陀罗宝）、火珠宝、清水宝，像这样无数的各种宝物，用来供养碎身舍利，礼拜右绕作供养后；这时龙等各自发愿，有的发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提愿，有的发声闻愿，有的发辟支佛愿。’
