English version: The Bhikshus (bhiksu, monks) also all knew the Dharma. At that time, after the World Honored One finished speaking this Dharma, he went with the assembly of Bhikshus (bhiksu, monks) to the Bamboo Grove Mountain, and after arriving, he rested there. The World Honored One then manifested three kinds of supernormal powers for the Bhikshus (bhiksu, monks), namely the supernormal power of spiritual transformation, the supernormal power of preaching the Dharma, and the supernormal power of instruction. With these supernormal powers, he showed them benefit and joy. The Buddha said, 'All you Bhikshus (bhiksu, monks)! You should contemplate in this way, observe in this way, understand in this way, and practice in this way, and you will obtain benefit and happiness.' At that time, the Bhikshus (bhiksu, monks) all saw and heard about these three kinds of supernormal powers and other matters. After the World Honored One finished showing them benefit and joy, in the assembly, there were those who had attained liberation of the mind, and they spoke this gatha (gatha, verse): 'Elephant Head Mountain and Bamboo Grove Mountain, the World Honored One preaches the Dharma and manifests supernormal transformations, Subduing the heretics and returning them to the true path, causing their evil minds to all be liberated.' At that time, the World Honored One said to the assembly of Bhikshus (bhiksu, monks), 'I now wish to enter the great city of Rajagriha (Wangshe city).' At that time, King Bimbisara (Bimbisara, King of Magadha in ancient India) first heard that there was a Tathagata (Tathagata, one of the titles of the Buddha), an Arhat (Arhat, one of the titles of the Buddha), a Samyaksambuddha (Samyaksambuddha, one of the titles of the Buddha), one accomplished in knowledge and conduct (Vidyacharana-sampanna, one of the titles of the Buddha), a Sugata (Sugata, one of the titles of the Buddha), a knower of the world (Lokavidu, one of the titles of the Buddha), an unsurpassed one (Anuttara, one of the titles of the Buddha), a tamer of men (Purushadamyasarathi, one of the titles of the Buddha), a teacher of gods and men (Shasta Devamanushyanam, one of the titles of the Buddha), a Buddha (Buddha, the awakened one), a World Honored One (Bhagavan, one of the titles of the Buddha), complete with these ten titles, had appeared in the world. Among all the gods, humans, Brahmas, demons, Shramanas (Shramana, renunciates), Brahmins (Brahmana, the priestly class in ancient India), and the great assembly, he had attained perfect enlightenment with his own wisdom and power, and was proclaiming the Dharma, which is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with profound meaning, pure and unmixed, complete and clear, the appearance of Brahma-conduct. In that Buddha's assembly, there were Uruvilva-kashyapa (Uruvilva-kashyapa, an early disciple of the Buddha), Nadi-kashyapa (Nadi-kashyapa, an early disciple of the Buddha), Gaya-kashyapa (Gaya-kashyapa, an early disciple of the Buddha), and their retinues, who had all taken refuge in the Buddha, left home, and were practicing Brahma-conduct. This Buddha, the World Honored One, wishes to enter the great city of Rajagriha (Wangshe city) today, so the king ordered the repair of the city inside and out, the streets and lanes, all to be cleaned, burning various precious incense, scattering various wonderful flowers, hanging pearl necklaces, erecting banners and canopies, thus universally adorning and beautifying everywhere. Even all the people in the city were making sounds of joy, which could be heard by each other. At that time, King Bimbisara (Bimbisara, King of Magadha in ancient India), wearing new and wonderful clothes, wearing various precious shoes, arranging his fourfold army, and with... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

无数眷属，前后导从，出王舍城，迎候世尊。其王与诸眷属，出城向远，渐近世尊，王乃下车，徒步而进。 尔时，世尊与诸苾刍，前后围绕，诸王舍城。王及眷属，见佛远至，肃恭前迎，从佛入城。佛入城时，城中人民，异口同音，说伽陀曰： “世尊入此王舍城， 出现师子光明相， 解脱耆年清净众， 彼彼恭敬而围绕。” 尔时，频婆娑罗王前导，世尊往迦兰陀竹林园中。到已，世尊周遍观察，王乃为佛敷设其座，佛处座已诸苾刍众，各居佛后。 是时王及眷属众中，有礼佛足者，有但合掌顶礼者，有发欢喜心者，有随发欢喜心即生爱乐者，如是各各伸敬已，退坐一面。王乃复从座起，偏袒右肩，右手执持上妙金瓶，出妙香水，灌世尊手，灌已白言：“我此园林，奉上世尊并四方僧，安止受用此，是最初园林布施，惟愿世尊，为我纳受。”佛即为受。 王礼佛足已，向尊者优楼频螺迦叶前，欢喜合掌，作如是言：“迦叶此摩伽陀国中，一切人民，宗敬于汝，我亦常所尊重供养，汝今何所见闻，归佛出家，修持梵行？” 迦叶答言：“大王当知，今佛世尊，具大神通，有大威力，能作种种神变等事，以是缘故，我发净信，归佛出家。” 时众会中，有生疑念：“ 现代汉语译本 无数眷属，前后簇拥引导，走出王舍城（Rājagṛha），迎接世尊（Bhagavan）。国王和他的眷属们，出城向远处走去，渐渐靠近世尊，国王于是下车，徒步前进。 这时，世尊与众比丘（bhikṣu）前后围绕，来到王舍城。国王和眷属们，看见佛陀远远到来，恭敬地向前迎接，跟随佛陀进入城中。佛陀进入城中时，城中的人们，异口同声地说偈颂道： ‘世尊进入这王舍城， 出现师子的光明相， 解脱年老的清净僧众， 他们恭敬地围绕着佛陀。’ 这时，频婆娑罗王（Bimbisāra）在前面引导，世尊前往迦兰陀竹林园（Kalandaka Venuvana）。到达后，世尊环顾四周，国王便为佛陀铺设座位，佛陀坐下后，众比丘各自在佛陀身后就座。 这时，国王和眷属众人中，有的礼拜佛足，有的只是合掌顶礼，有的心生欢喜，有的随之生起爱慕之情，这样各自表达敬意后，退坐在一旁。国王于是又从座位上站起，袒露右肩，右手拿着上好的金瓶，取出美妙的香水，灌注在世尊手上，灌注完毕后禀告说：‘我将这园林，奉献给世尊和四方僧众，请在此安住享用，这是最初的园林布施，希望世尊，能够接受我的供养。’佛陀便接受了。 国王礼拜佛足后，向尊者优楼频螺迦叶（Uruvilvā-Kāśyapa）合掌致意，这样说道：‘迦叶，在这摩伽陀国（Magadha）中，所有的人民，都尊敬您，我也常常尊重供养您，您现在看到了什么，听到了什么，皈依佛陀出家，修持梵行呢？’ 迦叶回答说：‘大王应当知道，现在的佛陀世尊，具有大神力，有大威力，能够做出种种神通变化等事，因为这个缘故，我生起清净的信心，皈依佛陀出家。’ 这时，大众会中，有人产生了疑问：

English version Countless attendants, leading and following, went out of Rājagṛha (王舍城), to welcome the Bhagavan (世尊). The king and his retinue went out of the city towards the distance, gradually approaching the Bhagavan, and the king then alighted from his chariot and proceeded on foot. At that time, the Bhagavan, surrounded by many bhikṣus (比丘) before and behind, arrived at Rājagṛha. The king and his retinue, seeing the Buddha approaching from afar, respectfully went forward to greet him and followed the Buddha into the city. When the Buddha entered the city, the people in the city, with one voice, spoke this gāthā (偈颂): 'The Bhagavan enters this Rājagṛha, Appearing with the light of a lion, Liberating the aged and pure assembly, They respectfully surround him.' At that time, King Bimbisāra (频婆娑罗王) led the way, and the Bhagavan went to Kalandaka Venuvana (迦兰陀竹林园). Having arrived, the Bhagavan looked around, and the king then prepared a seat for the Buddha. After the Buddha was seated, the bhikṣus each took their places behind the Buddha. At that time, among the king and his retinue, some bowed at the Buddha's feet, some simply joined their palms in reverence, some felt joy, and some immediately developed affection along with their joy. Having each expressed their respect in this way, they withdrew and sat to one side. The king then rose again from his seat, bared his right shoulder, held a supreme golden vase in his right hand, took out exquisite fragrant water, and poured it on the Bhagavan's hands. Having poured it, he said: 'I offer this garden to the Bhagavan and the Sangha (僧) of the four directions. Please reside here and enjoy it. This is the first donation of a garden. May the Bhagavan accept my offering.' The Buddha then accepted it. After the king bowed at the Buddha's feet, he joined his palms in joy towards the venerable Uruvilvā-Kāśyapa (优楼频螺迦叶), saying: 'Kāśyapa, in this Magadha (摩伽陀) country, all the people respect you, and I also always respect and make offerings to you. What have you now seen or heard that you have renounced your home and are practicing the Brahmacharya (梵行) under the Buddha?' Kāśyapa replied: 'Great King, you should know that the present Buddha Bhagavan has great supernatural powers and great might, and can perform various miraculous transformations. For this reason, I have developed pure faith and have renounced my home under the Buddha.' At that time, in the assembly, some had doubts: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

此优楼频螺迦叶，今在大沙门边，修持梵行，何所求耶？此能归心，佛能摄受，互见何相，致如是耶？” 又复众中，有作是言：“此优楼频螺迦叶，今在大沙门边，修持梵行，不复能得频婆娑罗王恭敬供养。” 尔时，世尊知众疑已，即告尊者优楼频螺迦叶言：“迦叶！汝今知时，宜现神通。” 是时，迦叶受佛敕已，随其所应，即入三摩地，犹如鹅王，起现空中，以神通力，身上出火，身下出水；身下出火，身上出水；右边出火，左边出水；左边出火，右边出水；于其四方，现行坐卧相。现是神通已，从空而下，还住佛前，偏袒右肩，右膝着地，合掌恭敬，顶礼世尊，作是白言：“佛是我师，我是声闻弟子，若我所知，若我不知，佛悉能知，如佛所了知，是为最上知。” 佛言：“迦叶！汝先所作事火之法，汝见何义，为于其中得寂静耶？能作染耶？如汝所作，皆不解脱，今问此义，汝随应答。” 迦叶白佛言：“我无智故，先所不知，世尊大龙，善为救度，令我今时见无上句。世尊！我先所作，以饮食供设，然火祀天，实不解脱。而饮食者，设使美味种种具足，终不能离三欲之数，今蒙佛开导，我如是见。” 佛言：“迦叶！又如汝所作事火等法，于天人世间，不可爱乐 现代汉语译本： ‘这位优楼频螺迦叶（Uruvilva-Kashyapa，人名，事火外道首领），现在在那位大沙门（指佛陀）身边，修行梵行，他所寻求的是什么呢？他能够归心于佛陀，佛陀能够摄受他，他们之间互相展现了什么，才导致了这样的结果呢？’ 又有人说：‘这位优楼频螺迦叶，现在在那位大沙门身边，修行梵行，不能再得到频婆娑罗王（Bimbisara，古印度摩揭陀国国王，佛教的护法）的恭敬供养了。’ 这时，世尊知道大众的疑惑，就告诉尊者优楼频螺迦叶说：‘迦叶！你现在知道时机到了，应该展现神通。’ 当时，迦叶接受佛的命令后，随着他所应展现的，立即进入三摩地（Samadhi，禅定），犹如鹅王，从地上升起，显现在空中，以神通力，身上出火，身下出水；身下出火，身上出水；右边出火，左边出水；左边出火，右边出水；在他的四方，展现行走、站立、坐着、躺卧的姿态。展现这些神通后，从空中下来，回到佛陀面前，袒露右肩，右膝着地，合掌恭敬，顶礼世尊，这样说道：‘佛陀是我的老师，我是声闻弟子，我所知道的，或者我所不知道的，佛陀全部都知道，如佛陀所了知的，是为最上之知。’ 佛陀说：‘迦叶！你先前所做的事火之法，你从中看到了什么意义，是为了在其中得到寂静吗？还是能产生污染呢？如你所做的，都不能解脱，现在问你这些道理，你随你的理解回答。’ 迦叶对佛陀说：‘我因为没有智慧，先前不知道，世尊大龙（比喻佛陀）善于救度，使我今天得见无上之句。世尊！我先前所做，用饮食供养，然后祭祀火天，实际上不能解脱。而饮食，即使美味种种具备，终究不能脱离三欲（指色欲、食欲、睡眠欲）的范畴，现在蒙佛开导，我才这样认识到。’ 佛陀说：‘迦叶！又如你所做的事火等法，在天人世间，是不可喜爱的。’

English version: ‘This Uruvilva-Kashyapa (name of a person, leader of fire-worshipping heretics), now is by the side of that great Shramana (referring to the Buddha), practicing Brahma-conduct, what is he seeking? He is able to turn his heart to the Buddha, and the Buddha is able to receive him, what mutual displays have occurred between them, leading to such a result?’ Again, some in the assembly said: ‘This Uruvilva-Kashyapa, now is by the side of that great Shramana, practicing Brahma-conduct, and can no longer receive the respectful offerings of King Bimbisara (king of Magadha in ancient India, a protector of Buddhism).’ At that time, the World-Honored One, knowing the doubts of the assembly, then said to the Venerable Uruvilva-Kashyapa: ‘Kashyapa! Now you know the time is right, you should display your supernormal powers.’ At that time, Kashyapa, having received the Buddha's command, according to what he should display, immediately entered Samadhi (meditative state), like a goose king, rising up and appearing in the sky, with supernormal powers, fire coming out of his body, water coming out from below his body; fire coming out from below his body, water coming out from above his body; fire coming out from the right side, water coming out from the left side; fire coming out from the left side, water coming out from the right side; in all four directions, displaying the postures of walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. Having displayed these supernormal powers, he descended from the sky, returned to the Buddha's presence, bared his right shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, joined his palms respectfully, prostrated before the World-Honored One, and said: ‘The Buddha is my teacher, I am a Shravaka (disciple who learns by hearing) disciple, what I know, or what I do not know, the Buddha knows all, as the Buddha knows, that is the supreme knowledge.’ The Buddha said: ‘Kashyapa! The fire-worshipping practices you did before, what meaning did you see in them, was it to attain tranquility, or did it produce defilement? As you have done, none can lead to liberation, now I ask you these principles, answer according to your understanding.’ Kashyapa said to the Buddha: ‘Because I lacked wisdom, I did not know before, the World-Honored One, the great dragon (metaphor for the Buddha), is skilled in saving, enabling me to see the unsurpassed phrase today. World-Honored One! What I did before, using food and drink as offerings, and then sacrificing to the fire gods, in reality cannot lead to liberation. And food and drink, even if delicious and complete in every way, ultimately cannot escape the realm of the three desires (desire for sensual pleasures, desire for food, desire for sleep), now having received the Buddha's guidance, I understand it in this way.’ The Buddha said: ‘Kashyapa! Furthermore, the fire-worshipping and other practices you have done, in the world of gods and humans, are not pleasing.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。”
