“说此偈已，卧夜叉前，以剑刺颈，施夜叉血，即复破胸，出心与之。 “是时，天地大动，日无精光，无云而雷，有五夜叉从四方来，争取分裂，竞共食之。食已大叫，跃立空中，告千圣王：‘谁能行施如牢度跋提？如此行施，乃可成佛。’ “时千圣王惊怖退没，不欲菩提，生变悔心，各欲还国。 “时，五夜叉即说偈言： “‘不杀是佛种， 慈心为良药， 大悲常安隐， 终无老死异。 一切受身者， 畏杀毒害人， 是故诸菩萨， 教行不杀戒。 汝今若畏死， 当行不杀事， 云何欲还国， 舍静求愦闹。’ “时，千圣王闻此语已，皆默然住。” 佛告跋陀波罗：“汝今当知，第一婆罗门，赞檀波罗蜜者，过去定光明王佛是；牢度跋提者，过去然灯佛是。时千圣王出家学道，见然灯佛修诸苦行，心生悔恨，于一劫中堕大地狱；虽堕地狱，菩提愿力庄严心故，火不能烧。从是已后，复得值遇灯明王菩萨为其说法，从地狱出，广为 现代汉语译本 ‘停！ 在千万亿年中，我从未曾为佛法而死。 我今天为了佛法，以心血布施。 请不要阻止我，不要障碍我获得无上智慧。 以此布施的果报，我发誓要成就佛道。 如果将来我成佛时，一定要先度化你们。’ 说完这偈语后，他躺在夜叉面前，用剑刺破自己的脖子，将血布施给夜叉，接着又剖开胸膛，取出心脏给他们。 这时，天地剧烈震动，太阳失去了光辉，无云却打雷，有五个夜叉从四面八方赶来，争抢着撕裂他的身体，竞相吞食。吃完后，他们大声叫喊，跳到空中，告诉千圣王：‘谁能像牢度跋提（Lao Du Ba Ti）一样行布施？如此行布施，才能成就佛。’ 当时，千圣王惊恐退缩，不想求得菩提（Pu Ti），心生悔恨，各自想要返回自己的国家。 这时，五个夜叉就说了偈语： ‘不杀是佛的种子，慈悲心是良药， 大悲心常能带来安稳，最终不会有衰老和死亡的差异。 一切有生命者，都畏惧杀戮和毒害， 因此诸位菩萨，教导修行不杀戒。 你们现在如果畏惧死亡，就应当行不杀之事， 为何想要返回国家，舍弃清净而追求喧闹呢？’ 当时，千圣王听了这些话后，都沉默不语。 佛告诉跋陀波罗（Ba Tuo Bo Luo）：‘你现在应当知道，第一位赞叹檀波罗蜜（Tan Bo Luo Mi，布施的圆满）的婆罗门，就是过去的定光明王佛；牢度跋提（Lao Du Ba Ti），就是过去的然灯佛。当时的千圣王出家学道，见到然灯佛修持各种苦行，心中生起悔恨，在一个劫中堕入大地狱；虽然堕入地狱，因为菩提愿力的庄严，火焰不能烧伤他。从那以后，他又遇到灯明王菩萨为他说法，才从地狱出来，广泛地为他人说法。’

English version 'Stop! For countless millions of years, I have never died for the Dharma (Buddhist teachings). Today, for the sake of the Dharma, I offer my heart's blood as a gift. Please do not hinder me, do not obstruct my attainment of supreme wisdom. With the merit of this offering, I vow to achieve Buddhahood. If I become a Buddha in the future, I will surely liberate you all first.' Having spoken this verse, he lay down before the yakshas (a type of nature spirit), pierced his neck with a sword, offered his blood to the yakshas, and then tore open his chest, giving them his heart. At that moment, the earth and sky shook violently, the sun lost its light, thunder rumbled without clouds, and five yakshas came from all directions, vying to tear his body apart and devour it. After eating, they shouted loudly, leaped into the air, and proclaimed to the thousand holy kings: 'Who can practice giving like Laodubati (Lao Du Ba Ti)? Only by giving in this way can one achieve Buddhahood.' At that time, the thousand holy kings were terrified and retreated, not desiring Bodhi (enlightenment), and felt remorse, each wanting to return to their own kingdom. Then, the five yakshas spoke this verse: 'Non-killing is the seed of Buddhahood, compassion is the good medicine, Great compassion always brings peace, and ultimately there is no difference between old age and death. All living beings fear killing and harm, Therefore, all Bodhisattvas (enlightened beings) teach the precept of non-killing. If you now fear death, you should practice non-killing, Why do you want to return to your kingdoms, abandoning tranquility for chaos?' At that time, the thousand holy kings, having heard these words, all remained silent. The Buddha told Bhadrapala (Ba Tuo Bo Luo): 'You should know now that the first Brahmin who praised Dana Paramita (Tan Bo Luo Mi, the perfection of giving) was the past Buddha, King of Fixed Light; Laodubati (Lao Du Ba Ti) was the past Dipamkara Buddha (Ran Deng Fo). The thousand holy kings at that time left their homes to study the Way, and upon seeing Dipamkara Buddha practicing various ascetic practices, they felt remorse and fell into the great hell for one kalpa (aeon); although they fell into hell, because of the adornment of their Bodhi vows, the flames could not burn them. From then on, they again encountered the Bodhisattva, King of Light, who preached the Dharma to them, and they emerged from hell, widely preaching the Dharma to others.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Praising the past thousand Buddhas, starting from the Buddha named 'Liberation Adornment' up to the last one, 'Wonderful Sovereign King Buddha'. At that time, King Thousand Saints, upon hearing the names of these thousand Buddhas, rejoiced and paid homage. Due to this cause, he transcended the sins of birth and death for nine hundred million nayutas of Ganges sands kalpas. Bhadrapala (a Bodhisattva)! You should know now, was that King Thousand Saints someone else? They are the thousand Buddhas of our Bhadra Kalpa. When the Buddha spoke these words, all the assembly, upon hearing what the Buddha said, were greatly delighted. Eighty people generated the unsurpassed Bodhi mind; two hundred and fifty people, having exhausted their defilements and attained liberation of mind, became Arhats. 'Furthermore, Bhadrapala! In the immeasurable, countless asamkhya kalpas of the past, in this Jambudvipa (the world we live in), there was a great king named Sudjati (meaning 'well-born'), whose kingdom was named Victorious Banner. When this king was born, seven treasures supported his feet, and thirty-four auspicious signs descended from the heavens. As soon as he touched the ground, he could walk, and the seven treasures naturally came to him. From the mountains in the four directions, one hundred million immortals, each possessing the five supernormal powers, flew and gathered in front of the palace; also, one million billion Ganges sands of great mountains made of seven treasures emerged from in front of the palace, arrayed in the sky to welcome the immortals. King Sudjati gradually grew up, ruling the four continents with majestic power and freedom, teaching people with the ten virtues. Because of the king's virtue, all the people enjoyed happiness like that of the Trayastrimsa Heaven (the second heaven of the desire realm). At that time, the immortals each brought their immortal scriptures and taught the king to read. After reading the scriptures, the king heard that in the past there was a Buddha named 'Treasure Flower Lapis Lazuli Merit Light Illuminating Tathagata' (a Buddha's name), who possessed the ten titles. Upon hearing the Buddha's name, the king's body and mind rejoiced. He immediately took off his jeweled crown, bowed in the four directions, and made a great vow: 'Today, I will give up all the treasures of the four continents, leave home to study the Way, and sit under the bright Bodhi tree, with my body and mind unmoving. If I do not attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled perfect enlightenment), I will not rise.' At that time, the king of the six desire heavens, named Vajra Mani Pearl (a heavenly king's name), along with his demon host of eight hundred billion thousand, each demon soldier transforming into a hundred billion terrifying forms, gathered together at the Bodhi tree. At this time, King Sudjati sat upright under the tree, entered the Samadhi of the Wisdom Seal Compassionate King (a meditative state), and the power of the Samadhi --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

故，时魔兵众同时碎坏，经七七日，得成阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 “时诸神仙，俱来劝请转妙法轮，仙人众中有一大仙，名曰光果，说偈请曰： “‘大德须阇提， 金轮王四域， 今舍此七宝， 如鸟去一毛。 坐于光明树， 降伏万亿魔， 甘露法已闻， 学道已成就。 相好特无比， 威光照十方， 当号大善寂， 愿必度我等， 我今头面礼， 劝请转法轮。’ “第二仙人名曰光藏，复说偈言： “‘大圣愍众生， 誓愿坐树下， 摧伏诸魔军， 结使海已竭， 愿为众生故， 广说甘露法。’ “尔时世尊，默然受于诸仙人请，于光明菩提树下转妙法轮，举身放光照十方界，皆如金色，广说四谛及十二因缘，凡百亿偈。初会闻法四山诸仙，皆得无生法忍，百千人发无上道心出家学道，无数四部得须陀洹道，有发菩提心数不可知，佛寿二十五万劫，正法住世二百万劫，像法住世四百万劫。 “彼佛世尊，法欲灭时，有诸比丘游行教化。时有一国，名曰电光，有一长者名牢度跋提，修行外道，事梵天法，电光大王遣千童子，供给彼人洒扫天庙。 “时千童子，各持天华欲往天寺，于其中路，见诸比丘持佛像行，童 现代汉语译本 因此，当时的魔兵众同时破碎坏灭，经过七七四十九天，（佛陀）证得了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（无上正等正觉）。 当时，众神仙都来劝请（佛陀）转动微妙的法轮，仙人众中有一位大仙，名叫光果，他以偈颂劝请道： ‘大德须阇提（佛陀的尊称），您如同金轮王统治四方，如今舍弃这七宝，就像鸟儿失去一根羽毛一样微不足道。 您坐在光明树下，降伏了万亿魔军，甘露妙法已经听闻，修道已经成就。 您的相貌美好无比，威光照耀十方，应当号为大善寂（佛陀的称号），愿您必定度化我们这些众生。 我今头面顶礼，劝请您转动法轮。’ 第二位仙人名叫光藏，也以偈颂说道： ‘大圣（佛陀）怜悯众生，发誓愿坐在树下，摧伏了诸魔军，烦恼的海洋已经枯竭。 愿您为了众生的缘故，广说甘露妙法。’ 这时，世尊（佛陀）默然接受了众仙人的劝请，在光明菩提树下转动微妙的法轮，全身放出光明照耀十方世界，都如同金色一般，广泛宣说了四谛（苦、集、灭、道）和十二因缘，总共有百亿偈颂。 初次法会听闻佛法的四山诸仙，都证得了无生法忍（对法性不再迷惑的智慧），有百千人发起了无上道心出家修道，无数四部弟子证得了须陀洹道（小乘初果），有发菩提心的人数不可计数。 佛陀的寿命有二十五万劫，正法住世二百万劫，像法住世四百万劫。 那位佛陀世尊，在佛法将要灭亡的时候，有许多比丘在教化众生。当时有一个国家，名叫电光，有一位长者名叫牢度跋提，他修行外道，信奉梵天之法，电光大王派遣一千童子，去供养他并洒扫天庙。 当时，一千童子各自拿着天花准备前往天寺，在路上，看见许多比丘拿着佛像行走，童
