还至王所,而白王言:‘大王当知,我之亲属皆已杀尽,更无有人遮我杀者。唯愿大王敕我所作。’于是即付刀杖杀具,彼仍不受。王复敕言:‘汝今何故不受刀杖?’彼报王言:‘大王!我今既名知刑杀害之人,自有牙齿不假刀杖。大王当知,若无齿力彼须刀杖,我有牙齿有合死者,我用齿啮而断彼命,饮彼血已资润我身增益气力。’于是即取合死之人,以齿啮项而断其命即饮其血,饮其血已倍增气力,严炽威势倍更增恶。   “善男子!彼难调伏杀害人者,于彼时间多杀众生皆饮其血,恶心严炽心智猛利,如是利智得闻菩萨名无所有,请问世尊空义断漏,不起烦恼颠倒分别,断瞋恚意悭贪妒嫉,无恩义处悉能破除,得无言说。从佛所闻解说之时,闻已更复增益利智,复入诸佛大神通事,故得如是胜利功德。”   尔时,复有教示菩萨摩诃萨从坐而起,整理衣服,偏袒右边右膝着地,合掌向佛,欲有所问。彼合掌时佛神力故,水陆所生种种妙花有开敷者,色香微妙满其手中,即生欢喜踊跃无量,以欢喜意用彼诸花而散佛上,再三散已,而白佛言:“世尊!今此难调杀害人者,已曾发于菩提心耶?”   时佛告言:“汝善男子!宜应还问此难调伏杀害人者,是善男子当为汝说。”   尔时,教示菩萨 现代汉语译本:他回到国王那里,禀告国王说:‘大王应该知道,我的亲属都已经全部被杀光了,再也没有人阻止我杀人了。只希望大王您能指示我该做什么。’于是国王就把刀杖杀人工具交给他,但他仍然不接受。国王又命令说:‘你现在为什么不接受刀杖?’他回答国王说:‘大王!我现在既然已经被称为知晓刑杀害人的人,自然有牙齿,不需要刀杖。大王应该知道,如果没有牙齿的力量,就需要刀杖,而我有牙齿,有该死的人,我就用牙齿咬断他们的脖子,喝他们的血来滋润我的身体,增加我的气力。’于是他就抓来该死的人,用牙齿咬断他们的脖子,喝他们的血,喝了血后气力倍增,凶猛的威势更加增强,变得更加凶恶。 ‘善男子!那个难以调伏、杀害人的人,在那个时候大量杀害众生,都喝他们的血,恶毒的心情非常强烈,心智非常猛利,像这样凭借利智,听到菩萨(Bodhisattva)的名字都一无所知,请问世尊(World-Honored One)关于空性的意义,断除烦恼,不起颠倒分别,断除瞋恚、悭贪、嫉妒,在没有恩义的地方都能破除,得到无法用言语表达的境界。从佛(Buddha)那里听闻解说的时候,听了之后更加增益利智,又进入诸佛的大神通之事,所以得到这样的胜利功德。’ 当时,又有一位教示菩萨摩诃萨(Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva)从座位上站起来,整理衣服,袒露右肩,右膝着地,合掌向佛,想要有所提问。他合掌的时候,因为佛的神力,水陆所生的各种美妙的花朵有的开放了,颜色香味非常微妙,充满了他的手中,立刻生起欢喜,踊跃无量,用欢喜的心情用那些花朵散在佛的身上,再三散花之后,禀告佛说:‘世尊!现在这个难以调伏、杀害人的人,曾经发过菩提心(Bodhi-citta)吗?’ 当时,佛告诉他说:‘善男子!你应该去问这个难以调伏、杀害人的人,这个善男子会为你解说的。’ 当时,教示菩萨(Bodhisattva)

English version: He returned to the king and reported, 'Great King, you should know that all my relatives have been killed, and there is no one left to stop me from killing. I only wish that Your Majesty would instruct me on what to do.' Thereupon, the king handed him knives and weapons for killing, but he still refused to accept them. The king then commanded, 'Why do you not accept the knives and weapons now?' He replied to the king, 'Great King! Now that I am known as someone who knows how to execute and kill, I naturally have teeth and do not need knives and weapons. Great King, you should know that if I did not have the strength of teeth, I would need knives and weapons, but I have teeth, and there are those who deserve to die. I will use my teeth to bite off their necks, drink their blood to nourish my body, and increase my strength.' Thereupon, he seized those who deserved to die, bit off their necks with his teeth, and drank their blood. After drinking their blood, his strength doubled, his fierce power increased even more, and he became even more evil. 'Good man! That person who is difficult to tame and kills people, at that time, killed many living beings and drank their blood. His evil mind was very intense, and his intellect was very sharp. With such sharp intellect, he knew nothing of hearing the name of a Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva), asked the World-Honored One (World-Honored One) about the meaning of emptiness, cut off afflictions, did not arise from inverted discriminations, cut off anger, stinginess, and jealousy, and was able to destroy all places without kindness or righteousness, attaining a state beyond words. When he heard the explanation from the Buddha (Buddha), after hearing it, he further increased his sharp intellect and entered into the great supernatural affairs of all Buddhas, thus attaining such victorious merits.' At that time, another Teaching Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva) arose from his seat, arranged his robes, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and joined his palms towards the Buddha, desiring to ask a question. When he joined his palms, due to the Buddha's divine power, various wonderful flowers born from water and land blossomed, their colors and fragrances were very subtle, and they filled his hands. He immediately arose with joy, leaping immeasurably, and with a joyful mind, he scattered those flowers upon the Buddha, scattering them again and again, and then said to the Buddha, 'World-Honored One! Has this difficult-to-tame, murderous person ever generated the Bodhi-citta (Bodhi-citta)?' At that time, the Buddha said to him, 'Good man! You should ask this difficult-to-tame, murderous person, and this good man will explain it to you.' At that time, the Teaching Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

还复合掌,而问之言:“汝善男子!已曾发于菩提心耶?”   彼即答言:“善男子!知我今即是发菩提心清净无浊,如我闻佛大神通已即断诸恶,而复得闻此无所有菩萨所问、世尊解释,闻已信受念持观察无有疑网。于世尊说一切诸法空无有我,无生无灭无有境界,无境界处无虚空处。汝善男子!于如此处欲起何心而有所闻?”   教示菩萨复问彼言:“汝善男子!汝于众生几所成熟于菩提耶?”   彼即答言:“善男子!我于无量不思议等不可瞋恚诸众生者,成熟安置菩提种子,于无边劫当更成熟所有众生。善男子!譬如虚空多所容受,佛法亦尔容受无量。若有信受彼能成熟,亦可成熟一切众生,不着邪径当作恶业。   “善男子!我已为一切众生利益安乐而为攀缘,今向汝说无有虚妄,佛自证知。若佛世尊不授记者,我于菩提我即自记。所以者何?我已信入菩萨种子,已住信忍无疑无惑,于此诸佛大神通中,此是一切诸菩萨等无有所著,发菩提心而为根本。若增长已次第能证菩提之果及一切智,一切佛法当觉当知,次第成熟无量众生,于菩提道亦当成就,住于菩萨不动法中。   “善男子!如是,如是!无异无别,能如是者愿生诸相,然诸众生有厌离想得无疑惑,愿当入佛大神通处自见于 现代汉语译本:那教示菩萨合起手掌,向他问道:‘善男子!你曾经发起菩提心(Bodhicitta,觉悟之心)了吗?’ 他立即回答说:‘善男子!要知道我现在就是发起菩提心,清净没有污浊,就像我听闻佛的大神通后,就断除各种恶行,并且又听闻这无所有菩萨所提出的问题,世尊(Bhagavan,佛的尊称)所作的解释,听闻后就信受、念持、观察,没有疑惑。对于世尊所说的一切诸法都是空性的,没有我(ātman,灵魂),没有生,没有灭,没有境界,没有境界之处也没有虚空之处。善男子!在这样的地方,你想要生起什么心,又想要听闻什么呢?’ 教示菩萨又问他说:‘善男子!你对于众生,有多少已经使他们成熟于菩提了呢?’ 他立即回答说:‘善男子!我对于无量、不可思议等不可嗔恚的众生,已经成熟并安置了菩提的种子,在无边劫中,将要继续成熟所有的众生。善男子!譬如虚空能够容纳很多事物,佛法(Buddha-Dharma,佛教的教义)也是这样,能够容纳无量的事物。如果有人信受,他就能够成熟,也可以成熟一切众生,不执着于邪路,不作恶业。 善男子!我已经为了所有众生的利益和安乐而攀缘,现在向你所说的没有虚妄,佛自己可以证明。如果佛世尊不给我授记,我自己就给自己授记菩提。为什么呢?我已经信入菩萨的种子,已经安住在信忍之中,没有疑惑,在这诸佛的大神通中,这是一切菩萨等没有执着,发起菩提心作为根本。如果增长了,次第能够证得菩提的果实以及一切智(sarvajñā,对一切事物无碍的智慧),一切佛法都应当觉悟和知晓,次第成熟无量的众生,在菩提道上也将成就,安住在菩萨不动法中。 善男子!就是这样,就是这样!没有差异,没有区别,能够这样的人,愿望生出各种瑞相,然而诸众生有厌离的想法,得到没有疑惑,愿望进入佛的大神通之处,自己见到。’

English version: Then the teaching Bodhisattva, joining his palms, asked him, saying: 'Good man! Have you ever generated the Bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment)?' He immediately replied: 'Good man! Know that I am now generating the Bodhicitta, pure and without defilement, just as after hearing the Buddha's great supernormal powers, I cut off all evil deeds, and again heard the questions asked by this non-existent Bodhisattva, and the explanations given by the Bhagavan (the Blessed One), and after hearing them, I believed, remembered, contemplated, and had no doubts. Regarding the Bhagavan's teaching that all dharmas are empty, without self (ātman), without birth, without death, without realms, and where there are no realms, there is also no space. Good man! In such a place, what mind do you want to arise, and what do you want to hear?' The teaching Bodhisattva then asked him: 'Good man! How many beings have you matured towards Bodhi?' He immediately replied: 'Good man! I have matured and placed the seeds of Bodhi in countless, inconceivable, and non-irritable beings, and in endless kalpas (aeons) I will continue to mature all beings. Good man! Just as space can accommodate many things, so too can the Buddha-Dharma (Buddha's teachings) accommodate countless things. If someone believes and accepts it, they can mature, and they can also mature all beings, not clinging to wrong paths and not committing evil deeds. 'Good man! I have already relied on the benefit and happiness of all beings, and what I am saying to you now is not false, the Buddha himself knows. If the Buddha Bhagavan does not give me a prediction, I will predict Bodhi for myself. Why? I have already believed in the seeds of the Bodhisattva, and I have already dwelt in the patience of faith, without doubt or confusion. In these great supernormal powers of all the Buddhas, this is the root of all Bodhisattvas, without attachment, generating the Bodhicitta. If it grows, it can gradually attain the fruit of Bodhi and all-knowing wisdom (sarvajñā), all Buddha-Dharmas should be awakened and known, gradually maturing countless beings, and also achieving the Bodhi path, dwelling in the immovable Dharma of the Bodhisattva. 'Good man! It is so, it is so! There is no difference, no distinction. Those who can do so wish to generate various auspicious signs, but all beings have thoughts of aversion and obtain no doubts, wishing to enter the great supernormal powers of the Buddha and see themselves.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

我少分。所以者何?其佛神通有无量故。善男子!诸佛世尊于大神通能决了见,诸菩萨等若未得忍唯以信行,若诸菩萨有得忍者,于佛神通少分已入。”   尔时,以佛神通力故,于此大地六种震动安乐润泽,无一众生有惊怖者,一切音乐不鼓自鸣。上虚空雨优波罗花、钵头摩花、拘勿头花、分陀利花。于虚空中自然而有种种天衣悬垂而现,烧众天人所有诸香。彼一切众所有三千大千世界,彼菩萨等不知边际,彼等皆悉掬于此花,以散佛上,如是再三及散此众。于时复有十六俱致百千那由他等莲花,犹如车轮,从地踊出,彼花台中有菩萨坐,皆悉具足三十二相。彼诸菩萨各从花下,还以此花而散佛上,花供养已,合掌礼敬向佛而住。   尔时,教示菩萨承佛威神,而问彼等诸菩萨言:“善男子等!汝从何来?”   彼菩萨言:“我从十方阿僧祇等诸世界中,奉侍礼敬阿僧祇佛,听闻法已而来至此。”   教示菩萨复问之言:“善男子等!汝闻何法?”   彼答之言:“我等亦闻有菩萨名无所有问、佛为解释,亦如此间释迦如来所解说法,亦复如是无有增减。彼菩萨亦名无所有,于问彼佛。彼佛世尊亦如是说,不起烦恼令断疑惑,令作光明令近诸佛,及一切智无等等法。”   尔时,大众生希 现代汉语译本: 我(所理解的)只是很少一部分。为什么这么说呢?因为诸佛的神通是无量的。善男子!诸佛世尊对于大神通能够彻底明了地见到(其本质),诸菩萨等如果还没有得到‘忍’(对佛法的确信和接受),只能依靠信心修行。如果诸菩萨中有人得到了‘忍’,那么他们对于佛的神通已经进入了少部分(的理解)。 这时,由于佛的神通力,这大地发生了六种震动,安乐而润泽,没有一个众生感到惊恐,一切音乐无需敲击自然鸣响。天上飘落优波罗花(Utpala,青莲花)、钵头摩花(Padma,红莲花)、拘勿头花(Kumuda,白莲花)、分陀利花(Pundarika,大白莲花)。在天空中自然而然地出现各种天衣悬挂着,焚烧着众天人所有的各种香。那些所有三千大千世界中的菩萨们,不知道边际,他们都捧起这些花,散在佛的身上,这样做了两次三次,也散在这些大众身上。这时又有十六俱致百千那由他(Koti-niyuta,古代印度数字单位)等莲花,像车轮一样从地里涌出,那些花台上有菩萨坐在上面,都具备三十二相。那些菩萨各自从花台上下来,又用这些花散在佛的身上,用花供养完毕后,合掌礼敬面向佛站立。 这时,教示菩萨(一位菩萨的名字)承蒙佛的威神力,问那些菩萨们说:‘善男子们!你们从哪里来?’ 那些菩萨说:‘我们从十方阿僧祇(Asamkhya,极大数字)等诸世界中来,奉侍礼敬阿僧祇佛,听闻佛法后来到这里。’ 教示菩萨又问他们说:‘善男子们!你们听闻了什么佛法?’ 他们回答说:‘我们也听闻有菩萨名叫无所有问,佛为他们解释,也像这里的释迦如来所解释说法一样,没有任何增减。那位菩萨也名叫无所有,向那位佛提问。那位佛世尊也像这样说,不起烦恼,使断除疑惑,使(众生)产生光明,使(众生)亲近诸佛,以及一切智无等等法。’ 这时,大众感到非常稀有。
