将言：“汝等当知，如来不久入般涅槃。我以佛法嘱累于汝，当好守护。”第二、第三亦如是说。“汝等当知，夜叉国中诸恶夜叉、鸠槃荼国恶鸠槃荼、乾闼婆国恶乾闼婆、诸龙国土有诸恶龙，如是众生多起瞋恚，不知罪福为恶卒暴，破我三阿僧祇劫勤苦所修无上佛法，是故我今嘱累汝等。” 时四天王及夜叉将乃至龙将，悲泣雨面扪泪而白佛言：“世尊涅槃何其太速？如来灭度一何疾哉？为死摩竭之所吞噬。”尔时世尊种种说法示教利喜，即从彼没阎浮提出。 尔时世尊作如是念：“我所作事今已作竟，诸恶众生今已调伏，可入安隐寂灭涅槃。”佛告阿难：“生死可厌，吾今不久欲入涅槃。” 尔时阿难生大苦恼，悲泣雨面如箭入心，闷绝倒躄夗转于地，而作是言：“世尊涅槃何其太速？如来灭度一何疾哉？世间眼灭，我复更当与谁持钵？更复持扇在谁边立？不复更闻甘露之法，谁复与我说甘露味？我今更复随谁后行？不复更见殊胜日月圆满之面。尊者舍利弗等大智慧人已入涅槃，而佛如来今复灭度，世间闇冥失智慧眼，智须弥王今欲崩散，佛树欲倒，法桥欲绝，法舡欲沈，法炬欲灭，正法日、月将坠于地，解脱之门今欲闭塞，三恶道门今将欲开，三阿僧祇劫所集法聚将没不久。” 尔时 现代汉语译本：佛陀说：‘你们应当知道，如来不久将入般涅槃（parinirvana，指佛陀的最终寂灭）。我将佛法嘱托给你们，你们应当好好守护。’第二、第三次也这样说。‘你们应当知道，夜叉（yaksha，一种守护神）国中的各种恶夜叉、鸠槃荼（kumbhanda，一种食人鬼）国中的恶鸠槃荼、乾闼婆（gandharva，一种天神）国中的恶乾闼婆、诸龙国土中的各种恶龙，这些众生大多生起嗔恚，不知罪福，行为凶暴，会破坏我三阿僧祇劫（asamkhya kalpa，极长的时间单位）勤苦所修的无上佛法，因此我今天嘱托你们。’ 当时，四大天王以及夜叉将乃至龙将，悲伤哭泣，泪流满面，擦着眼泪对佛说：‘世尊涅槃为何如此之快？如来灭度为何如此之急？好像被死魔（mara，佛教中象征死亡和诱惑的魔）吞噬了一样。’这时，世尊以种种说法开示教导，使他们欢喜，随即从那里消失，出现在阎浮提（Jambudvipa，指我们所居住的世界）。 这时，世尊心中想：‘我所要做的事现在已经做完，各种恶劣的众生现在已经调伏，可以进入安稳寂灭的涅槃了。’佛陀告诉阿难：‘生死是令人厌恶的，我今天不久就要进入涅槃。’ 当时，阿难生起极大的苦恼，悲伤哭泣，泪如雨下，如同箭射入心中，闷绝倒地，在地上翻滚，说道：‘世尊涅槃为何如此之快？如来灭度为何如此之急？世间的眼睛熄灭了，我以后还要和谁一起持钵？还要在谁的身边拿着扇子站立？再也听不到甘露之法，谁还会给我说甘露之味？我以后还要跟随谁行走？再也见不到殊胜的日月般圆满的面容。尊者舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀的十大弟子之一）等大智慧的人已经进入涅槃，而佛陀如来现在又要灭度，世间一片黑暗，失去了智慧的眼睛，智慧的须弥山王（Sumeru，佛教宇宙观中的中心山）现在要崩塌，佛树要倒下，法桥要断绝，法船要沉没，法炬要熄灭，正法的日月将要坠落于地，解脱之门现在要关闭，三恶道之门现在将要打开，三阿僧祇劫所积累的法聚将要不久消没。’ 当时

English version: The Buddha said, 'You should know that the Tathagata (Tathagata, an epithet of the Buddha) will soon enter parinirvana (parinirvana, the final nirvana after death). I entrust the Dharma (Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha) to you, and you should protect it well.' The second and third times were also said in the same way. 'You should know that in the land of the yakshas (yaksha, a type of guardian spirit) there are various evil yakshas, in the land of the kumbhandas (kumbhanda, a type of man-eating demon) there are evil kumbhandas, in the land of the gandharvas (gandharva, a type of celestial being) there are evil gandharvas, and in the lands of the dragons there are various evil dragons. These beings mostly give rise to anger, do not know about sin and merit, and act violently. They will destroy the unsurpassed Dharma that I have diligently cultivated for three asamkhya kalpas (asamkhya kalpa, an extremely long period of time). Therefore, I entrust you today.' At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings, as well as the yaksha generals and even the dragon generals, wept with sorrow, their faces covered in tears, and wiping their tears, they said to the Buddha, 'Why is the World Honored One's parinirvana so fast? Why is the Tathagata's passing away so sudden? It is as if being swallowed by the Mara (mara, the demon of death and temptation in Buddhism).' At this time, the World Honored One taught and instructed them with various teachings, making them happy, and then disappeared from there and appeared in Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, the world we live in). At this time, the World Honored One thought in his heart, 'The things I had to do are now completed, the various evil beings have now been subdued, and I can enter the peaceful and tranquil nirvana.' The Buddha told Ananda, 'Birth and death are repulsive, and I will soon enter nirvana.' At that time, Ananda felt great distress, weeping with sorrow, tears falling like rain, as if an arrow had pierced his heart. He fainted and fell to the ground, rolling around, and said, 'Why is the World Honored One's parinirvana so fast? Why is the Tathagata's passing away so sudden? The eyes of the world are extinguished. Who will I hold the alms bowl with in the future? Who will I stand beside holding a fan? I will no longer hear the Dharma of nectar, who will tell me the taste of nectar? Who will I follow in the future? I will no longer see the extraordinary, moon-like, perfect face. The great wise ones like Venerable Sariputra (Sariputra, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) have already entered nirvana, and now the Buddha Tathagata is also about to pass away. The world is in darkness, losing the eyes of wisdom. The king of wisdom, Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the central mountain in Buddhist cosmology), is about to collapse, the Bodhi tree is about to fall, the bridge of Dharma is about to break, the ship of Dharma is about to sink, the torch of Dharma is about to be extinguished, the sun and moon of the true Dharma are about to fall to the ground, the gate of liberation is about to close, the gates of the three evil paths are about to open, and the accumulation of Dharma gathered over three asamkhya kalpas will soon disappear.' At that time --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

佛告长老阿难：“汝莫忧愁，莫复啼哭，莫大叫唤、捶胸、哽咽、闷绝、躄地。何以故？世间生者是有为法，会归无常，欲令此法不失不坏而常住者，无有是处。”尔时，世尊种种说法，安慰劝喻示教利喜，嘱法藏已默然而住。 尔时，世尊复作是念：“阿难比丘为忧愁刺深入其心，我今当拔彼忧愁刺。”告阿难言：“汝今欲见未来事不？我见来世如观现在，当为汝说。” 尔时，阿难偏袒右肩右膝着地，合掌向佛顶礼佛足而白佛言：“大德世尊！当为我说，今正是时。我闻法已当奉受持广宣流布。” 佛告阿难：“谛听至心，我今当说。阿难！未来之时有诸破戒比丘，身着袈裟游行城邑，往来聚落住亲里家，彼非比丘又非白衣，畜养妇妾产育男女；复有比丘住淫女家；复有比丘淫比丘尼；复有比丘贮畜金银，造作生业以自活命；复有比丘通致使驿以自活命；复有比丘专行医药以自活命；复有比丘围棋六博以自活命；复有比丘为他卜筮以自活命；复有比丘为他咒彼死尸令起，遣杀怨家以自活命；复有比丘为他诵咒驱遣鬼神，多取财物以自活命；复有比丘专行杀生以自活命；复有比丘住僧伽蓝，私自费用佛法僧物以自活命；复有比丘内实犯戒外示护持，受人信施；复有比丘虽不破戒而怀悭惜，衣服、 现代汉语译本：佛陀告诉长老阿难：‘你不要忧愁，不要再哭泣，不要大声叫喊、捶胸、哽咽、昏厥、跌倒在地。为什么呢？世间有生之物都是有为法（因缘和合而成的法），终将归于无常，想要让这种法不消失不坏而常住，是没有这种道理的。’当时，世尊用种种说法，安慰劝导，开示教诲，使他欢喜，嘱咐完佛法要义后就默然不语。 当时，世尊又这样想：‘阿难比丘因为忧愁的刺深深扎入心中，我现在应当拔除他忧愁的刺。’于是告诉阿难说：‘你现在想看未来之事吗？我看到未来就像看到现在一样，我将为你解说。’ 当时，阿难偏袒右肩，右膝跪地，合掌向佛陀顶礼佛足，对佛说：‘大德世尊！请为我解说，现在正是时候。我听闻佛法后，当奉行受持，广为宣扬。’ 佛陀告诉阿难：‘仔细听，专心听，我现在要说了。阿难！未来的时候，会有一些破戒的比丘，身穿袈裟（僧侣的法衣），在城邑、村落往来，住在亲戚朋友家，他们既不是比丘也不是在家白衣，蓄养妻妾，生育子女；还有比丘住在妓女家；还有比丘与比丘尼行淫；还有比丘储蓄金银，从事生产经营来维持生计；还有比丘传递书信来维持生计；还有比丘专门行医来维持生计；还有比丘下围棋、玩六博来维持生计；还有比丘为他人占卜算卦来维持生计；还有比丘为他人念咒使死尸站起来，派遣杀害仇家来维持生计；还有比丘为他人诵咒驱赶鬼神，以此获取大量财物来维持生计；还有比丘专门杀生来维持生计；还有比丘住在僧伽蓝（僧众居住的寺院），私自花费佛法僧的财物来维持生计；还有比丘内心犯戒，外表却装作持戒，接受他人的供养；还有比丘虽然没有破戒，却心怀吝啬，对于衣服、
