大正藏第 14 册 No. 0479 善思童子经 No. 479 [Nos. 477, 478] 善思童子经卷上 隋天竺三藏阇那崛多译 如是我闻： 一时婆伽婆住毗耶离城，在庵婆罗波梨园内，与诸声闻、八千比丘、一万菩萨，如是大众一切悉皆变化形服作诸天身。尔时，世尊于晨朝时着衣持钵，将此化众前后围绕，入毗耶离大城之中次第乞食，渐渐行至毗摩罗诘离车之家。当于是时，毗摩罗诘离车家内，有一童子名曰善思。是时善思在于自家重阁之上奶母抱持，时彼童子手中秉执一茎莲华玩弄嬉戏，而彼童子以其宿植众善所熏，又佛世尊神通力故，令此童子忽然以偈白其奶母，作如是言： “今有响微妙， 翳诸音乐声； 愿奶放我身， 舍置于楼上。 而此光明照， 决是大丈夫； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 微妙令意喜， 诸鸟鸣唤声； 我耳未曾闻， 诸鸟如是唱。 决定是调御， 为利益世间； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 如服诸璎珞， 遍体震鸣声； 其响妙铿锵， 闻者皆欢喜。 决定千轮足， 威神庄严身； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 犹彼大地震， 亦如打铜钟； 现代汉语译本 如是我闻： 一时，婆伽婆（Bhagavan，世尊）住在毗耶离城（Vaishali），在庵婆罗波梨园（Amrapali Garden）内，与诸声闻、八千比丘、一万菩萨在一起。这样的大众都变化形貌服饰，化作诸天之身。当时，世尊在早晨穿好衣服，拿着钵，带领这些变化之众前后围绕，进入毗耶离大城中次第乞食，渐渐走到毗摩罗诘离车（Vimalakirti）的家。当时，在毗摩罗诘离车的家中，有一个童子名叫善思（Good Thinker）。当时善思在自己家的重阁之上，由奶母抱持。那时，这个童子手中拿着一茎莲花玩弄嬉戏。由于这个童子宿世种植的众多善根所熏习，又由于佛世尊的神通力，使得这个童子忽然以偈颂告诉他的奶母，这样说道： ‘现在有微妙的响声，遮蔽了所有的音乐之声；希望奶母放开我的身体，让我从楼上下去。 这光明照耀，一定是大丈夫；右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 微妙的声音令人心生欢喜，各种鸟儿鸣叫呼唤；我的耳朵从未曾听闻，鸟儿这样歌唱。 一定是调御丈夫（tamer of men），为了利益世间；右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 如同佩戴各种璎珞，遍满全身震动鸣响；那响声美妙铿锵，听闻的人都欢喜。 一定是千轮之足，以威神庄严其身；右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 犹如大地震动，也像敲打铜钟；’

English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Bhagavan (Blessed One) was dwelling in the city of Vaishali, in the Amrapali Garden, together with many Shravakas (listeners), eight thousand Bhikshus (monks), and ten thousand Bodhisattvas. This great assembly had all transformed their appearances and garments, appearing as celestial beings. At that time, the World-Honored One, in the early morning, put on his robes, held his bowl, and, surrounded by this transformed assembly, entered the great city of Vaishali to beg for food in an orderly manner, gradually proceeding to the house of Vimalakirti. At that time, in Vimalakirti's house, there was a boy named Good Thinker. At that time, Good Thinker was on the upper floor of his house, held by his nurse. The boy was holding a lotus flower in his hand, playing and frolicking. Because this boy was perfumed by the many good roots he had planted in past lives, and also by the power of the Buddha's divine abilities, the boy suddenly told his nurse in verse, saying: 'Now there is a subtle sound, overshadowing all musical sounds; I wish, nurse, you would release my body, and let me down from the tower. This light shines, surely it is a great man; His right foot crosses the threshold, wanting to enter this city gate. The subtle sound brings joy to the mind, various birds sing and call; My ears have never heard, birds singing like this. Surely it is the tamer of men, for the benefit of the world; His right foot crosses the threshold, wanting to enter this city gate. Like wearing various necklaces, the whole body vibrates and rings; The sound is wonderfully sonorous, those who hear it all rejoice. Surely it is the feet with a thousand wheels, his body adorned with majestic power; His right foot crosses the threshold, wanting to enter this city gate. Like the great earth shaking, also like striking a bronze bell;'

诸如是等声， 无有不闻者。 决定彼人日， 大圣之身光； 欲入此大城， 令众生无畏。 如诸林树木， 种种华庄严； 各闻微妙音， 众生随所乐。 决定善安住， 与愿大龙王； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 如虚空光照， 大地普皆明； 日彩曀不彰， 此世尊金色。 决定喜观察， 大威放焰光； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 阿奶今观此， 天众在虚空； 欢喜歌啸声， 弄诸衣服等。 决定利益世， 最胜诸众生； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 今此大城内， 相向起慈心； 各各共喜欢， 如父母爱子。 决定大福聚， 众德庄严身； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 又男夫妇女， 将种种香花； 满掬四面飘， 心生大欢喜。 决定大自在， 福德华庄严； 右足跨于阃， 欲入此城门。 天人华所散， 悉遍满虚空； 处处雨众香， 微妙甚可喜。 决定世善逝， 大福慧入城； 为利益众生， 所以今来到。” 尔时，善思怀抱奶母，闻其童子自口所说如此偈已，心生恐怖身毛悉竖，支节战掉不能自持。安彼童子于楼阁上，置已即作如是思惟：“此子何也？ 现代汉语译本 这样的声音，没有谁听不见。 可以确定，那是如同太阳一般的人，是伟大圣者的身光； 他想要进入这座大城，为了让众生不再恐惧。 如同各种森林树木，被种种鲜花装饰； 各自听闻微妙的声音，众生随自己所喜好。 可以确定，他会带来善与安稳，如同满足愿望的大龙王； 他右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 如同虚空的光芒照耀，大地普遍光明； 太阳的光彩也黯然失色，因为世尊的金色的光芒。 可以确定，他带着喜悦观察，以大威德放出火焰般的光芒； 他右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 阿奶（对婴儿的称呼）现在看这里，天上的众神在虚空中； 欢喜地歌唱呼啸，舞弄着各种衣服等。 可以确定，他会利益世间，是最殊胜的众生； 他右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 现在这座大城内，人们彼此相向生起慈悲之心； 各自共同欢喜，如同父母爱护子女。 可以确定，他是巨大的福德聚集，以众多功德庄严其身； 他右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 又有男子和妇女，拿着各种香和花； 满满地捧着向四面飘洒，心中生起巨大的欢喜。 可以确定，他是大自在者，以福德之花庄严自身； 他右脚跨过门槛，想要进入这座城门。 天人和人们散落的花朵，全部遍满虚空； 处处降下各种香，微妙美好令人欢喜。 可以确定，他是世间的善逝（Sugata），带着巨大的福慧进入城中； 为了利益众生，所以今天来到这里。 这时，善思怀抱奶母，听到那童子自己口中所说这样的偈颂后，心中生起恐怖，身上的毛都竖了起来，肢体颤抖不能自持。将那童子安放在楼阁上，安置好后就作这样的思惟：‘这孩子是什么来历呢？’

English version Such sounds as these, there is no one who does not hear. It is certain that person is like the sun, the light of the Great Sage; He wishes to enter this great city, to make beings fearless. Like the various forest trees, adorned with various flowers; Each hears subtle sounds, beings according to their pleasure. It is certain he will bring goodness and peace, like the great dragon king who grants wishes; His right foot crosses the threshold, wishing to enter this city gate. Like the light of the sky shining, the earth is universally bright; The sun's colors are dimmed, by the World Honored One's golden light. It is certain he observes with joy, emitting flames of great power; His right foot crosses the threshold, wishing to enter this city gate. Nurse, look now, the heavenly beings are in the sky; Joyfully singing and shouting, playing with various garments and such. It is certain he will benefit the world, the most excellent of beings; His right foot crosses the threshold, wishing to enter this city gate. Now within this great city, people face each other with hearts of compassion; Each rejoices together, like parents loving their children. It is certain he is a great accumulation of merit, his body adorned with many virtues; His right foot crosses the threshold, wishing to enter this city gate. Moreover, men and women, holding various incense and flowers; Fill their hands and scatter them in all directions, their hearts filled with great joy. It is certain he is the Great自在（Greatly自在 One）, adorned with flowers of merit; His right foot crosses the threshold, wishing to enter this city gate. The flowers scattered by gods and people, completely fill the sky; Everywhere rains various fragrances, subtle and delightful. It is certain he is the World's Well-Gone (Sugata), entering the city with great merit and wisdom; For the benefit of beings, that is why he comes here today. At that time, the nurse善思（Good Thoughts）, holding the child, having heard the verses spoken from the child's own mouth, felt fear in her heart, the hairs on her body stood on end, her limbs trembled and she could not control herself. Placing the child on the upper floor, having settled him, she thought thus: 'What is this child?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

为天、为龙、为是夜叉、为是罗刹、为鸠槃茶、为毗舍遮、为紧陀罗、或复为是摩睺罗伽？如此之言非是世间婴孩所说。”时彼奶母即一定住不敢动移，亦不起行不敢大语，细喘低头默然察听。 尔时，世尊渐渐行近善思离车童子之家，入彼街巷至于其家门前止住。而是善思离车童子，遥见世尊在于阁下，见已即便从高楼上投身向佛。是时善思离车童子，以佛神力在于空中嶷然而住，即以偈颂而白佛言： “世尊住智中， 最胜者住此； 利诸众生故， 愿受我莲花。” 尔时，世尊即还以偈报于善思离车童子，作如是言： “我所住实际， 非众生境界； 彼际无所有， 是际如实相。” 尔时，世尊说是语已，离车童子复更以偈而白佛言： “世尊云何住， 于此真实际？ 此际既无有， 无有何所住？” 尔时，善思离车童子说是语已，佛复以偈而更报言： “如际实际者， 彼际是如来； 如彼实际住， 我住彼亦然。 如实际诸佛， 其体一无殊； 如彼真实际， 我作如是住。” 尔时，世尊说是语已，善思童子复更以偈重白佛言： “非际际非际， 此际有何相？ 作何等方便， 得名为实相？” 尔时，善 现代汉语译本 ‘是天神吗？是龙吗？是夜叉（Yaksa，一种守护神）吗？是罗刹（Rakshasa，一种恶鬼）吗？是鸠槃茶（Kumbhanda，一种守宫神）吗？是毗舍遮（Pisaca，一种食人鬼）吗？是紧陀罗（Kinnara，一种半人半鸟的神）吗？还是摩睺罗伽（Mahoraga，一种大蟒神）？’这样的话，不是世间的婴儿所能说的。’当时那奶妈立刻呆住不敢动，也不敢走动，不敢大声说话，只是细声喘气，低着头，默默地听着。 当时，世尊渐渐地走近善思离车童子（Good Thought Licchavi child）的家，进入那条街巷，在他家门前停了下来。而善思离车童子，远远地看见世尊在楼阁下，看见后就从高楼上跳下来，投向佛。这时，善思离车童子，凭借佛的神力，停留在空中，用偈颂对佛说： ‘世尊住在智慧之中，最殊胜的人住在这里；为了利益众生，愿您接受我的莲花。’ 当时，世尊也用偈颂回复善思离车童子，这样说： ‘我所住的实际，不是众生所能理解的境界；那个实际一无所有，那个实际才是如实之相。’ 当时，世尊说完这话，离车童子又用偈颂对佛说： ‘世尊您是怎样安住于这真实的实际之中呢？这实际既然什么都没有，您又安住在什么地方呢？’ 当时，善思离车童子说完这话，佛又用偈颂回复说： ‘如实际的实际，那个实际就是如来；如那个实际的安住，我安住于那个实际也是这样。如实际的诸佛，他们的本体完全一样；如那个真实的实际，我就是这样安住的。’ 当时，世尊说完这话，善思童子又用偈颂再次对佛说： ‘非实际、实际、非实际，这个实际有什么样的相状呢？用什么样的方便，才能称作实相呢？’ 当时，善

English version 'Is it a Deva (god)? Is it a Naga (dragon)? Is it a Yaksa (a type of guardian spirit)? Is it a Rakshasa (a type of demon)? Is it a Kumbhanda (a type of goblin)? Is it a Pisaca (a flesh-eating demon)? Is it a Kinnara (a mythical being, half-human and half-bird)? Or is it a Mahoraga (a great serpent deity)?' Such words are not what a worldly infant could say.' At that time, the wet nurse immediately froze, not daring to move, nor daring to walk, nor daring to speak loudly, but only breathing softly, lowering her head, and listening silently. At that time, the World-Honored One gradually approached the house of the Good Thought Licchavi child, entered that street, and stopped in front of his house. And the Good Thought Licchavi child, seeing the World-Honored One from afar below the pavilion, immediately jumped down from the high building towards the Buddha. At that time, the Good Thought Licchavi child, by the Buddha's divine power, stood still in the air, and spoke to the Buddha in verse: 'The World-Honored One dwells in wisdom, the most excellent one dwells here; for the benefit of all beings, may you accept my lotus flower.' At that time, the World-Honored One also replied to the Good Thought Licchavi child in verse, saying: 'The reality in which I dwell is not a realm that sentient beings can comprehend; that reality is devoid of all things; that reality is the true aspect of reality.' At that time, after the World-Honored One spoke these words, the Licchavi child again spoke to the Buddha in verse: 'How does the World-Honored One dwell in this true reality? Since this reality has nothing, where do you dwell?' At that time, after the Good Thought Licchavi child spoke these words, the Buddha again replied in verse: 'The reality of reality, that reality is the Tathagata (Thus Come One); as that reality abides, so do I abide in it. Like the Buddhas of reality, their essence is entirely the same; like that true reality, I abide in this way.' At that time, after the World-Honored One spoke these words, the Good Thought child again spoke to the Buddha in verse: 'Non-reality, reality, non-reality, what is the nature of this reality? What kind of means can be used to be called true reality?' At that time, the Good --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

思离车童子说是语已，佛复以偈而更报言： “不可执际际， 故言为实际； 彼际如虚空， 虚空亦无相。” 尔时，世尊说是语已，善思童子还更以偈白于佛言： “希有真实处， 住处最上住； 愿众生住此， 如诸佛所住。” 尔时，善思离车童子说此偈已，一心合掌而白佛言：“惟愿世尊，慈愍我故受此莲华。” 尔时世尊为欲怜愍善思离车孩童子故受彼莲华。佛受华已，是时善思离车童子，欢喜踊跃发是愿言：“藉此善根，我于来世，若当证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提已，如今世尊，为于一切众生说法。然其法中，诸凡夫法及阿罗汉，一切圣法皆不可得。” 尔时，长老舍利弗同在集会闻是语已，于大众中即问善思离车童子作如是言：“离车童子！汝向所言，我当证彼如是法已，为诸众生说于彼法。云何说法？彼法云何？” 尔时善思离车童子，即以偈答舍利弗言： “彼法无有佛， 及诸声闻得； 我当证是法， 为诸众生说。 彼法无处所， 亦复无去来； 智者如是知， 法之本体性。 过去一切佛， 现在无上尊， 无不如是知， 入无余寂灭。 彼中无法界， 众生界亦无； 如是之边际， 世间无入者。 现代汉语译本 思离车童子说完这些话后，佛陀又用偈语回应说： ‘不应执着于任何边际，所以才说那是实际； 那样的边际如同虚空，虚空也没有任何相状。’ 这时，世尊说完这些话后，善思童子又用偈语对佛陀说： ‘希有而真实的处所，是安住的最上之处； 愿众生都能安住于此，如同诸佛所安住的地方。’ 这时，善思离车童子说完这个偈语后，一心合掌对佛陀说：‘惟愿世尊，慈悲怜悯我，接受这朵莲花。’ 这时，世尊为了怜悯善思离车孩童，接受了那朵莲花。佛陀接受莲花后，善思离车童子欢喜踊跃，发愿说：‘凭借这个善根，我于未来世，如果能够证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（anuttara-samyak-sambodhi，无上正等正觉），就像现在的世尊一样，为一切众生说法。然而在那法中，所有凡夫的法以及阿罗汉（Arhat，断尽烦恼，证入涅槃的圣者）的法，一切圣法都是不可得的。’ 这时，长老舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）也在场，听到这些话后，在大众中问善思离车童子说：‘离车童子！你刚才说，我将证得那样的法后，为众生宣说那样的法。要如何说法？那法又是怎样的？’ 这时，善思离车童子，就用偈语回答舍利弗说： ‘那法没有佛，以及诸位声闻（sravaka，听闻佛陀教法而修行的弟子）能够得到； 我将证得那样的法，为诸位众生宣说。 那法没有处所，也没有来去； 智者如果这样了解，就是了解法的本体自性。 过去的一切佛，现在的无上尊， 没有不是这样了解的，从而进入无余寂灭（nirvana，涅槃）。 其中没有法界（dharma-dhatu，一切法的总称），也没有众生界（sattva-dhatu，众生的总称）； 像这样的边际，世间没有人能够进入。’
