大正藏第 14 册 No. 0494 阿难七梦经   No. 494   阿难七梦经   东晋天竺三藏竺昙无兰译   阿难在舍卫国,有七种梦,来问于佛:一者、陂池火炎滔天;二者、梦日月没,星宿亦没;三者、梦出家比丘转在于不净坑堑之中,在家白衣登头而出;四者、梦群猪来抵揬栴檀林怪之;五者、梦头戴须弥山,不以为重;六者、梦大象弃小象;七者、梦师子王名华撒,头上有七毫毛,在地而死,一切禽兽,见故怖畏,后见身中虫出,然后食之。以此恶梦,来问于佛。   佛时在舍卫国普会讲堂上,与波斯匿王说法:苦、习、灭、得道为乐。见阿难忧色愁苦叵言。佛告阿难:“汝于梦者,皆为当来五浊恶世,不损汝也,何为忧色?   “第一梦:陂池火炎滔天者。当来比丘,善心转少,恶逆炽盛,共相杀害,不可称计。   “第二梦者:日月没,星宿亦没。佛泥洹后,一切声闻,随佛泥洹不在世,众生眼灭。   “第三梦:出家比丘,转在于不净坑堑之中;在家白衣,登头出者。当来比丘怀毒嫉妒,至相杀害,道士斩头,白衣视之,谏诃不从,死入地狱;白衣精进,死生天上。   “第四梦者:群猪来抵揬栴檀林怪之者。当来白衣,来入塔寺,诽谤众僧 ,求其长短,破塔害僧。   “第五梦者:头戴须弥山,不以为重者。佛泥洹后,阿难当为千阿罗汉出经之师,一句不忘,受悟亦多,不以为重。   “第六梦者:大象弃小象。将来邪见炽盛,坏我佛法,有德之人,皆隐不现。   “第七梦:师子死者。佛泥洹后一千四百七十岁,我诸弟子修德之心,一切恶魔不得娆乱;七毫者,七百岁后事。”   阿难七梦经 现代汉语译本: ‘(如果有人)探求它的长短,破坏佛塔,伤害僧人。’ ‘第五个梦是:头戴须弥山(Mount Sumeru),却不觉得重。佛陀涅槃(Nirvana)后,阿难(Ananda)应当成为千位阿罗汉(Arhat)传授佛经的老师,一句也不会忘记,领悟也很多,却不觉得这是一件重大的事情。’ ‘第六个梦是:大象抛弃小象。将来邪见会非常兴盛,破坏我的佛法,有德行的人,都会隐居起来不出现。’ ‘第七个梦是:狮子死了。佛陀涅槃后一千四百七十年,我的弟子们修习德行的心,一切恶魔都不能扰乱;七毫,指的是七百年后的事情。’ 《阿难七梦经》

English

English version: ‘(If someone) seeks to know its length and breadth, destroys pagodas, and harms monks.’ ‘The fifth dream is: wearing Mount Sumeru (Mount Sumeru) on the head, yet not feeling it is heavy. After the Buddha's Nirvana (Nirvana), Ananda (Ananda) should become the teacher who transmits the sutras to a thousand Arhats (Arhats), not forgetting a single sentence, and having much understanding, yet not feeling it is a heavy matter.’ ‘The sixth dream is: an elephant abandoning its calf. In the future, heretical views will flourish greatly, destroying my Buddha-dharma, and virtuous people will all go into hiding and not appear.’ ‘The seventh dream is: a lion dying. One thousand four hundred and seventy years after the Buddha's Nirvana, the minds of my disciples cultivating virtue will not be disturbed by all the demons; the seven hairs refer to matters seven hundred years later.’ The Sutra of Ananda's Seven Dreams --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
