English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Garden in Sravasti, together with a large assembly of monks, five hundred monks and various Bodhisattvas. At that time, the World Honored One told the monks: 'In the future, there will be monks who, because of one thing not following the Dharma's teachings, will cause the Dharma to be destroyed and unable to grow in benefit. What is this one thing? It is not guarding the precepts, not being able to control the mind, not cultivating wisdom, indulging their own minds, only seeking good reputation and not following the Buddha's teachings, and not being diligent in cultivating the work of liberating the world. This is one thing that causes the Dharma to be destroyed.' The Buddha told the monks: 'There are also two things that cause the Dharma to be destroyed. What are these two things? First, not guarding the precepts, not controlling their minds, not cultivating wisdom, taking wives and having children, indulging their own minds, engaging in trade and business to make a living. Second, forming factions and clinging to each other, hating those who uphold the Dharma, wanting to cause them to fall, so they deliberately distort the Dharma, calling it flattery; inwardly committing evil deeds, while outwardly pretending to be pure. These are two things that cause the Dharma to be destroyed.' The Buddha told the monks: 'There are also three things that cause the Dharma to be destroyed. What are these three things? First, not guarding the precepts, not being able to control their minds, and not cultivating wisdom. Second, reading the scriptures themselves but not recognizing the pauses and punctuation, putting the upper words below and the lower words above, reversing the beginning and the end, not being able to understand the true meaning of the scriptures, and still thinking they are right. Third, when those who understand scold them, they do not listen to the teachings, but instead hold resentment in their hearts, thinking that others are jealous of them. Few people understand the meaning of the scriptures, and most people cannot distinguish the truth, and all say they are right. These are three things that cause the Dharma to be destroyed.' The Buddha told the monks: 'There are also four things that cause the Dharma to be destroyed. What are these four things? First, future monks, having already abandoned their worldly affairs and living in secluded places, do not cultivate the path of the Buddha. Second, they like to wander in the noisy places of the human world, coming and going, talking about worldly matters. Third, they are unwilling to listen to the teachings of the wise, but instead like to listen to the words of those who have no wisdom. Fourth, they are unwilling to diligently practice, but only like to sleep, crave food, and are unwilling to cut off greed. These are four things that cause the Dharma to be destroyed.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

言，求好袈裟五色之服。三、高听远视以为绮雅，自以高德无能及者，以杂碎智比日月之明——畜已！四、不摄三事，不护根门，行妇女间，宣文饰辞多言合偶，以动人心，使清变浊；身行荒乱，正法废迟。是为四事，令法毁灭。” 佛告比丘：“复有五事，令法毁灭。何谓为五？一、或有比丘，本以法故出家修道，废深经教十二因缘、三十七品，方等深妙玄虚之慧、智度无极、善权方便、空无相愿至化之节。二、反习杂句浅末小经，世俗行故。王者经典，乱道之原，好讲此业，易解世事，趣得人心令其欢喜，因致名闻。三、新闻法人、浅解之士，意用妙快；深达之士，不用为佳。四、天龙鬼神不以为喜，心怀悒戚口发斯言：‘大法欲灭，故使其然。’舍妙法化，反宣杂句。诸天流泪，速逝而去。五、由是正法稍稍见舍，无精修者。是为五事，令法毁灭。” 佛告比丘：“吾灭度后，有此邪事十五之乱，令法毁灭，一何痛哉！若有比丘欲谛学道，弃捐绮饰、不求名闻、质朴守真、宣传正经。佛之雅典深法之化不用多言，案本说经不舍正句，希言屡中不失佛意。粗衣趣食，得美不甘；得粗不恶。衣食好丑，随施者意，不以瞋喜。摄身、口、意守诸根门，不违佛教。念命甚短，恍惚以过，如梦所见，觉不知处 现代汉语译本：佛说：‘还有四件事，会使佛法毁灭。’‘哪四件呢？’‘第一，有些比丘，内心贪求美好的袈裟和五彩的衣服。第二，他们喜欢高高地听，远远地看，认为这样很华丽优雅，自认为道德高尚，无人能及，用一些杂乱的智慧去比拟日月的光明——这是自取灭亡！第三，他们不约束身、口、意三事，不守护眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六根，在妇女之间行走，宣讲那些文饰的言辞，多说男女情爱之事，以此来动摇人心，使清净的心变得污浊；他们行为荒唐混乱，导致正法衰败迟缓。这四件事，会使佛法毁灭。’ 佛告诉比丘们：‘还有五件事，会使佛法毁灭。’‘哪五件呢？’‘第一，有些比丘，本来因为佛法而出家修道，却抛弃了深奥的经教，如十二因缘、三十七道品，以及方等经中深妙玄虚的智慧、智度无极、善巧方便、空无相愿等达到教化的重要环节。第二，他们反而去学习杂乱浅显的小经，因为这些符合世俗的习性。那些帝王将相的经典，是扰乱修道的根源，他们喜欢讲这些，因为容易理解世俗之事，容易获得人心，使人欢喜，从而获得名声。第三，那些刚接触佛法、理解浅薄的人，觉得这些讲得巧妙痛快；而那些深入理解佛法的人，则认为这些不好。第四，天龙鬼神不因此而欢喜，心中忧愁，口中说：‘大法将要灭亡，所以才会这样。’他们舍弃了微妙的佛法教化，反而去宣讲杂乱的言辞。诸天流泪，迅速离去。第五，因此，正法渐渐被舍弃，没有人精进修行。这五件事，会使佛法毁灭。’ 佛告诉比丘们：‘我灭度后，会有这十五种邪事扰乱，使佛法毁灭，这真是多么令人痛心啊！如果有些比丘想要认真学习佛道，就应该抛弃华丽的装饰，不追求名声，保持质朴，坚守真理，宣讲正经。佛的经典和深奥的佛法教化，不用多说，按照原本的经文讲解，不舍弃正确的语句，说话简要而切中要点，不违背佛的本意。粗布衣裳，能遮体即可；粗茶淡饭，能果腹即可。对于衣食的好坏，随施舍者的意愿，不因此而产生嗔恨或欢喜。约束身、口、意，守护眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六根，不违背佛的教诲。要想到生命非常短暂，转瞬即逝，如同梦中所见，醒来后不知身在何处。’

English version: The Buddha said, 'There are four things that cause the Dharma to perish.' 'What are the four?' 'First, some Bhikkhus inwardly crave fine robes and five-colored garments. Second, they like to listen from high places and look from afar, thinking it elegant and refined. They consider themselves of high virtue, unmatched by anyone, and compare their fragmented wisdom to the brightness of the sun and moon—this is self-destruction! Third, they do not restrain their actions, speech, and thoughts, nor do they guard their six sense doors. They walk among women, proclaiming embellished words, speaking much of love and relationships, thereby agitating people's minds and turning purity into impurity. Their behavior is chaotic and disordered, causing the true Dharma to decline and slow down. These four things cause the Dharma to perish.' The Buddha told the Bhikkhus, 'There are five more things that cause the Dharma to perish.' 'What are the five?' 'First, some Bhikkhus, who initially left home to cultivate the Way because of the Dharma, abandon the profound teachings of the twelve links of dependent origination, the thirty-seven factors of enlightenment, the profound and subtle wisdom of the Vaipulya Sutras, the immeasurable wisdom, skillful means, and the stages of emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness that lead to transformation. Second, they instead study miscellaneous, shallow, and minor sutras, because these conform to worldly habits. The classics of kings and ministers are the source of confusion in the Way. They like to lecture on these, as they are easy to understand worldly matters, easy to win people's hearts, make them happy, and thus gain fame. Third, those who are new to the Dharma and have shallow understanding find these teachings clever and pleasing; while those who have deep understanding of the Dharma do not consider them good. Fourth, the gods, dragons, and spirits are not pleased by this. They are worried and say, 'The great Dharma is about to perish, that is why this is happening.' They abandon the subtle Dharma teachings and instead proclaim miscellaneous words. The gods weep and quickly depart. Fifth, because of this, the true Dharma is gradually abandoned, and no one diligently cultivates it. These five things cause the Dharma to perish.' The Buddha told the Bhikkhus, 'After my Parinirvana, there will be these fifteen kinds of evil disturbances that will cause the Dharma to perish. How painful this is! If there are Bhikkhus who wish to diligently study the Way, they should abandon ornate decorations, not seek fame, remain simple, uphold the truth, and proclaim the true sutras. The Buddha's classics and profound Dharma teachings do not need many words. Explain the sutras according to the original text, without abandoning the correct phrases. Speak concisely and to the point, without deviating from the Buddha's intention. Coarse clothing is enough to cover the body; simple food is enough to fill the stomach. Regarding the quality of clothing and food, follow the wishes of the donors, without giving rise to anger or joy. Restrain the body, speech, and mind, guard the six sense doors, and do not violate the Buddha's teachings. Remember that life is very short, passing in an instant, like a dream, and upon waking, one does not know where one is.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。三涂之难，不可称计，勤修佛法犹救头然。五戒、十善、六度无极，四等、四恩、智慧、善权咸可精行。虽不值佛世，出家为道，学不唐捐，平其本心，愍念一切，十方蒙恩。” 佛说如是，诸比丘悲喜前自归佛，作礼而去。 佛说当来变经 现代汉语译本：三恶道的苦难，多得无法计算，勤奋修行佛法就像是救燃眉之急一样。五戒（不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语、不饮酒）、十善（不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语、不两舌、不恶口、不绮语、不贪欲、不嗔恚、不邪见）、六度（布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧）无极、四等心（慈、悲、喜、舍）、四恩（父母恩、众生恩、国王恩、三宝恩）、智慧和善巧方便都应该努力实行。即使没有遇到佛陀住世的时代，出家修行，所学也不会白费，保持内心的平静，怜悯一切众生，十方世界都会蒙受恩惠。 佛陀这样说完，众比丘既悲伤又欢喜，向前向佛陀归依，行礼后离去。 佛说当来变经

English version: The sufferings of the three evil realms are countless; diligently practicing the Buddha's teachings is like putting out a fire on one's head. The Five Precepts (not to kill, not to steal, not to commit sexual misconduct, not to lie, not to take intoxicants), the Ten Virtues (not killing, not stealing, not committing sexual misconduct, not lying, not speaking divisively, not speaking harshly, not engaging in frivolous talk, not being greedy, not being angry, not holding wrong views), the Six Perfections (generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, wisdom) without limit, the Four Immeasurables (loving-kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity), the Four Kinds of Gratitude (gratitude to parents, gratitude to all beings, gratitude to the king, gratitude to the Three Jewels), wisdom, and skillful means should all be diligently practiced. Even if one does not live in a time when a Buddha is present in the world, if one leaves home to practice the Way, one's learning will not be in vain. By calming one's mind and having compassion for all beings, the ten directions will receive blessings. Having spoken thus, the Bhikkhus were both sorrowful and joyful. They went forward to take refuge in the Buddha, paid their respects, and departed.
