English version The Sutra of the Vajra-wielding Spirit's Lamentation at the Buddha's Entry into Nirvana (Translator's name lost, now appended to the Qin record) The Muni World-Honored One (Shakyamuni Buddha) was lying on his right side with his head to the north in the Sala Grove of Kushinagar (an ancient Indian city), beginning his entry into Nirvana (a Buddhist term referring to the Buddha's passing away). At that time, the Vajra-wielding Spirit (a Buddhist guardian deity) saw the Buddha's passing and, in grief and distress, spoke thus: 'The World-Honored One has achieved the most supreme and unsurpassed Ten Powers (the ten powers of a Buddha), how is it that now he is defeated by the weak, impermanent, and feeble forces? The Tathagata (an epithet of the Buddha) has abandoned me and entered into quiescence (another term for Nirvana). From this day forward, I have no refuge, no reliance, no shelter, no protection. Decay, affliction, and calamities will all descend upon me at once, and the poisonous arrow of sorrow will pierce deeply into my heart.' Having spoken these words, the Vajra-wielding Spirit's sorrowful longing for the World-Honored One grew more intense. His internal organs felt as if they were being cut apart, his heart and spine as if they were being ground to pieces. He collapsed to the ground, fainting and unconscious, like a mountain collapsing. It was a long time before he regained consciousness. He immediately rose and sat up, weeping and sobbing, saying: 'How strange! How strange! The Death Demon (a Buddhist symbol of the power of death) is so evil! The accumulation of immeasurable meritorious perfections (the Buddhist methods of reaching the other shore) has been destroyed by this Death Demon.' He further said: 'I beseech the True Savior (an epithet of the Buddha) to rise for me. I am now of meager fortune, with no place to rely on. Why has the World-Honored One abandoned me and entered into quiescence alone? From now on, I will never see your compassionate face again. The World-Honored One's tranquil body, speech, and mind (referring to actions, words, and thoughts in Buddhism) can no longer be seen. I can no longer see the Buddha Bhagavan (an epithet of the Buddha) entering the state of Buddhahood.' 'When the Tathagata entered the Samadhi (a type of Buddhist meditation) of the Buddha's Abode in the past, his majestic radiance was exceptionally wondrous and beautiful. The Buddha's face was more vibrant and lustrous than a newly opened lotus flower, like the rising sun illuminating the morning light. Such a magnificent face can no longer be seen.' 'The Tathagata, amidst the assembly, emitted a great thunderous and subtle voice, which can no longer be heard. That truthful and unique speech, free from faults, without flattery or deceit, easy to understand, and beloved by all, eradicated all evils in the world and led to the City of Ambrosia (a Buddhist symbol of Nirvana). There is nothing more supreme than the Buddha's Dharma.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

咄哉!真济永入涅槃,使诸众生无有救护,处于生死大旷野中,又无眼目,离于导师,谁示其道? “如来密云能雨甘露,为无常风之所吹灭。一切众生爱火所烧,而于今者佛入涅槃,谁雨法雨灭其爱火? “如来于今灭于有为得无上道,为于众生作大医王。一切世界为烦恼病之所患苦,今入涅槃,谁当矜愍化以正道,疗诸众生结使之疾? “如来、世尊名为知恩念于恩者,我从处胎以来随逐如来如影随形,调和奉顺不曾违阙。云何不感我之至心,便见孤弃如背恩者? “呜呼怪哉,咄哉大苦。此金刚杵当用护谁?即便掷弃。自今以往当奉侍谁?谁当慈愍训诲于我?更于何时得睹尊颜?护世之王为显甘露,故遣我来拥护于佛,如何今日卒舍我等入于涅槃?我所有命依佛而存,一旦舍我,当依于谁得存此命? “咄哉!真济矜愍一切,常说妙法教照愚冥。何故今者而卒不言? “如来所知一切种智过一切上,恒于众生有缘之者思欲利益。即于今日何处去耶?而于今日便自闭默,更不救济受化之徒。诸魔、恶人见佛涅槃,皆大欢喜。 “如来、世尊生死海中作大船师,而于今日永舍济度。是诸众生无量劫来顺生死流,唯有如来能以正道令诸众生皆得返流。如来、世尊永断烦恼 现代汉语译本 唉呀!真正的救济者(真济,指佛陀)竟然要永远进入涅槃(涅槃,佛教术语,指解脱生死轮回的状态),使得所有众生没有了救护,处于生死轮回的广阔荒野中,又没有眼睛(指智慧),离开了导师(指佛陀),谁来指示他们道路呢? ‘如来(如来,佛的称号之一)的秘密法云能够降下甘露(甘露,比喻佛法),却被无常的风吹散了。一切众生都被爱欲之火所焚烧,而现在佛陀却要进入涅槃,谁来降下法雨熄灭他们的爱欲之火呢?’ ‘如来现在灭除有为法(有为法,指因缘和合而生的事物)而证得无上道(无上道,指最高的觉悟),是为了众生而成为伟大的医王。一切世界都被烦恼病所困扰,现在佛陀却要进入涅槃,谁来怜悯教化他们走上正道,治疗众生烦恼的疾病呢?’ ‘如来、世尊(世尊,佛的尊称)被称为知恩念恩的人,我从在母胎中就跟随如来,如同影子跟随形体,调和顺从,不曾违背。为什么不感应我的至诚之心,就抛弃我如同背弃恩人一样呢?’ ‘呜呼,怪哉,唉呀,大苦啊!这金刚杵(金刚杵,佛教法器,象征坚固的智慧)将要用来保护谁呢?就把它丢弃吧。从今以后我将要侍奉谁呢?谁会慈悲怜悯地教导我呢?还要到什么时候才能再次见到您的尊颜呢?护世之王(护世之王,指帝释天)为了显示甘露(甘露,比喻佛法),所以派遣我来拥护佛陀,为什么今天突然舍弃我们进入涅槃呢?我所有的生命都依靠佛陀而存在,一旦舍弃我,我将依靠谁来存活呢?’ ‘唉呀!真正的救济者怜悯一切,常常宣说微妙的佛法来照亮愚昧的黑暗。为什么现在突然不说话了呢?’ ‘如来所知的一切种智(一切种智,指佛陀所具有的对一切事物和道理的智慧)超越一切,总是想着利益与他有缘的众生。现在今天他到哪里去了呢?今天就自己闭口不言,不再救济受教化的弟子。诸魔(魔,指障碍修行的力量)、恶人看到佛陀涅槃,都非常欢喜。’ ‘如来、世尊在生死大海中作为伟大的船师,而今天却永远舍弃了救度众生的责任。这些众生无量劫以来顺着生死之流,只有如来能够用正道让众生都能够逆流而上。如来、世尊永远断除了烦恼’

English version Alas! The true savior (Zhen Ji, referring to the Buddha) is about to enter Nirvana (Nirvana, a Buddhist term referring to the state of liberation from the cycle of birth and death) forever, leaving all sentient beings without protection, in the vast wilderness of birth and death, without eyes (referring to wisdom), and without a guide (referring to the Buddha). Who will show them the way? 'The secret cloud of the Tathagata (Tathagata, one of the titles of the Buddha) can rain down sweet dew (sweet dew, a metaphor for the Dharma), but it is blown away by the wind of impermanence. All sentient beings are burned by the fire of desire, and now that the Buddha is about to enter Nirvana, who will rain down the Dharma to extinguish their fire of desire?' 'The Tathagata now extinguishes the conditioned phenomena (conditioned phenomena, referring to things that arise from causes and conditions) and attains the unsurpassed path (unsurpassed path, referring to the highest enlightenment), becoming a great physician for sentient beings. All worlds are afflicted by the disease of afflictions, and now that the Buddha is about to enter Nirvana, who will have compassion to teach them the right path and cure the diseases of sentient beings' afflictions?' 'The Tathagata, the World Honored One (World Honored One, a respectful title for the Buddha), is known as one who is mindful of kindness and gratitude. Since I was in the womb, I have followed the Tathagata like a shadow follows a form, harmonizing and obeying without ever disobeying. Why does he not sense my sincere heart and abandon me like one who betrays kindness?' 'Alas, how strange, alas, great suffering! Who will this Vajra (Vajra, a Buddhist ritual implement symbolizing firm wisdom) be used to protect? Just throw it away. From now on, whom shall I serve? Who will compassionately teach me? When will I be able to see your honorable face again? The King of the World Protectors (King of the World Protectors, referring to Indra) sent me to protect the Buddha in order to reveal the sweet dew (sweet dew, a metaphor for the Dharma), so why do you suddenly abandon us today and enter Nirvana? My entire life depends on the Buddha, and once you abandon me, who will I rely on to survive?' 'Alas! The true savior has compassion for all, and always speaks the wonderful Dharma to illuminate the darkness of ignorance. Why is it that now you suddenly do not speak?' 'The Tathagata's knowledge of all-knowing wisdom (all-knowing wisdom, referring to the Buddha's wisdom of all things and principles) surpasses everything, and he always thinks of benefiting sentient beings who have a connection with him. Where has he gone today? Today he has closed his mouth and no longer saves those who are to be taught. All the demons (demons, referring to the forces that hinder practice) and evil people are very happy to see the Buddha enter Nirvana.' 'The Tathagata, the World Honored One, is the great captain in the sea of birth and death, and today he has forever abandoned the responsibility of saving sentient beings. These sentient beings have been flowing with the stream of birth and death for countless eons, and only the Tathagata can use the right path to allow all sentient beings to go against the stream. The Tathagata, the World Honored One, has forever cut off afflictions.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
