大正藏第 14 册 No. 0507 佛说未生冤经 No. 507 佛说未生冤经 吴月支国居士支谦译 闻如是： 一时，佛在王舍国鸡山中。诸天、龙、鬼神、帝王、臣民，皆诣佛所，稽首、承风、供养之仪靡不尽礼。调达睹之，其嫉无量，还告太子未生冤曰：“汝父辇国众宝以贡佛、诸沙门，国藏空竭。可早图之，即位为王。吾当兴师往征佛也。子可为王，吾当为佛。两得其所，不亦善乎！子必成之。” 未生冤与调达结斯阴谋已，则敕秉势臣令勒兵：“王还，夺其印绶以付狱。”王还，臣即如命，以王付狱。 王意恬然，照之宿殃，心无恐惧，重信佛言。王曰：“吾有何过而罪我乎？” 皇后贵人、率土巨细莫不哀恸。王顾谓哭者曰：“佛说天地、日月、须弥山海有成必败。盛者即衰，合会有离，生者必死。由之忧悲轮转无际，以致重苦。寻其原，察其始，因缘合会即有，谓之生；因缘离散即灭，谓之空。夫身者四大耳，众生魂灵寄处其中。死还其本，魂灵空去，谓之非身。身尚不保，何国之常守乎！佛初入国，吾未有子也。问吾：‘宁知当来王不乎？’吾对曰：‘不知。’世尊重曰：‘一切无常。汝谛思之。’佛之诫我，正为今也。各努力 现代汉语译本： 大正藏第 14 册 No. 0507 佛说未生冤经 No. 507 佛说未生冤经 吴月支国居士支谦译 闻如是： 一时，佛在王舍国鸡山中。诸天、龙（佛教护法神）、鬼神、帝王、臣民，都到佛的住所，行稽首礼、承受佛的教诲、供养佛，没有不尽到礼数的。调达（Devadatta，佛陀的堂兄弟，后背叛佛陀）看到这些，心中嫉妒无比，回头告诉太子未生冤（Ajatasattu，频婆娑罗王之子）说：‘你的父亲用国家的众多宝物来进贡佛和各位沙门（Sramana，出家修道者），国家宝藏都要空了。应该早点图谋这件事，登基为王。我将要兴兵去征讨佛。你做了国王，我来做佛。两个人都得到自己想要的，不是很好吗！你一定要成功。’ 未生冤与调达结成这个阴谋后，就命令掌权的臣子勒兵：‘父王回来，夺取他的印绶，把他关进监狱。’国王回来后，臣子就按照命令，把国王关进了监狱。 国王内心平静安宁，认为这是前世的业报，心中没有恐惧，坚信佛说的话。国王说：‘我有什么过错要这样罪罚我呢？’ 皇后、贵人、全国上下大小官员没有不哀恸的。国王回头对哭泣的人说：‘佛说天地、日月、须弥山（Sumeru，佛教宇宙观中的圣山）和大海有成必有败。兴盛的就会衰落，聚合的就会分离，生的就一定会死。因为这些忧愁悲伤，就会在轮回中无休止地流转，以至于产生深重的痛苦。追寻它的根源，考察它的开始，因缘聚合就会产生，这叫做生；因缘离散就会灭亡，这叫做空。这身体不过是四大（地、水、火、风）组成的，众生的魂灵寄居在其中。死后归还其本源，魂灵空空离去，这就叫做非身。身体尚且不能保全，哪里有国家可以永远守护呢！佛刚来到我们国家的时候，我还没有儿子。佛问我：‘你知道将来会成为国王吗？’我回答说：‘不知道。’世尊（释迦摩尼佛的尊称）郑重地说：‘一切都是无常的。你要仔细思考这件事。’佛告诫我，正是为了今天啊。你们各自努力吧！’

English version: Taisho Tripitaka Volume 14, No. 0507 The Buddha Speaks of the Ajatasattu Sutra No. 507 The Buddha Speaks of the Ajatasattu Sutra Translated by Layman Zhi Qian of the Yuezhi Kingdom of Wu Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Mount Gijjhakuta in the city of Rajagriha. Gods, dragons (Naga, deities in Buddhism), ghosts, spirits, emperors, kings, ministers, and common people all went to the Buddha's abode, performing obeisance, receiving the teachings, and making offerings, without failing in any aspect of etiquette. Devadatta (Buddha's cousin who later became his rival), seeing this, felt immeasurable jealousy and turned to Prince Ajatasattu (son of King Bimbisara) and said, 'Your father is using the country's many treasures to offer to the Buddha and all the Sramanas (ascetics), and the national treasury is about to be emptied. You should plan this matter early and ascend the throne as king. I will raise an army to attack the Buddha. You become the king, and I will become the Buddha. Both of us will get what we want, isn't that good! You must succeed.' After Ajatasattu formed this conspiracy with Devadatta, he ordered the powerful ministers to mobilize the troops: 'When the king returns, seize his seal and put him in prison.' When the king returned, the ministers followed the order and imprisoned the king. The king's mind was peaceful and serene, considering it as the retribution for past karma, and he felt no fear in his heart, firmly believing in the Buddha's words. The king said, 'What fault have I committed that I am being punished like this?' The queen, nobles, and all the officials, high and low, throughout the country were filled with sorrow. The king turned to those who were weeping and said, 'The Buddha said that heaven and earth, the sun and moon, Mount Sumeru (the sacred mountain in Buddhist cosmology), and the oceans have a beginning and an end. The prosperous will decline, the united will separate, and the born will surely die. Because of these sorrows and grief, one will endlessly transmigrate in the cycle of rebirth, leading to profound suffering. Tracing its origin and examining its beginning, when conditions come together, there is arising, which is called birth; when conditions disperse, there is cessation, which is called emptiness. This body is merely composed of the four great elements (earth, water, fire, and wind), and the souls of beings reside within it. After death, it returns to its original source, and the soul departs empty, which is called non-self. Even the body cannot be preserved, so how can a country be eternally guarded! When the Buddha first came to our country, I did not yet have a son. The Buddha asked me, 'Do you know if you will have a king in the future?' I replied, 'I do not know.' The World-Honored One (a title for Shakyamuni Buddha) solemnly said, 'Everything is impermanent. You must contemplate this carefully.' The Buddha's warning to me was precisely for today. Each of you must strive hard!' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 建志，怀存佛诫矣。”

王谓太子曰：“汝每有疾，吾为燋心，欲以身命救危代汝。亲之仁恩，唯天为上。汝怀何心，忍为逆恶乎？夫杀亲者，死入太山，不中止息，汝将当之也。吾是汝尊，重亲尊孝尚恐名不称，岂况杀父乎！以国惠汝，吾欲至佛所作沙门。吾观淫妷，犹火烧身。女类之好以为虚空，无目之徒靡不惑焉！唯睹佛经，照女伪之尤恶，知荣利之害身。” 太子曰：“汝莫多云。吾获宿愿，岂有赦哉！” 敕狱吏曰：“绝其饷食，以饿杀之。” 有司将入狱，洴沙王向佛所在，稽首重拜曰：“子有天地之恶，吾无丝发之忿心矣。唯存佛教：世无常乐，其苦有长。”入狱被发，仰天呼曰：“痛乎！天岂有斯道哉！” 后妃贵人、举国巨细靡不哀恸。后谓太子曰：“大王掠桎梏，处牢狱，坐卧须人，其痛难言。自汝生来，大王赤心，悬情于汝，食息不忘，四大盈缩，枕伏临汝，涕泗交并，心燋体枯，欲以身命代尔殒矣。当存天人之育，无为逆也。佛说经云：‘夫善之极者，莫大于孝；恶之大者，其唯害亲乎！’长幼相事，天当祐之，岂况亲哉！汝顺凶虐，为斯重恶，必入太山。世间六十亿年为太山一日一夕，所更诸毒，每处有年。汝其毕之，不亦难乎！夫快心之士，无不后悔。 现代汉语译本： ‘建志啊，要牢记佛陀的教诲啊。’ 国王对太子说：‘你每次生病，我都焦心忧虑，恨不得以我的性命来代替你承受危险。父母的仁慈恩情，唯有天能相比。你怀着什么心，竟然忍心做出这等悖逆的恶事？杀害父母的人，死后会堕入太山地狱，永无止息，你将要承受这样的果报啊。我是你的父亲，你应当尊敬我，重视孝道都恐怕做得不够好，更何况是杀害父亲呢！我打算把国家让给你，然后去佛陀那里出家修行。我看待淫欲之事，就像火烧身一样。那些女人的美貌就像虚空一样虚幻，没有智慧的人没有不被迷惑的！只有读了佛经，才能照见女色的虚伪和罪恶，明白荣华利禄对人身的危害。’ 太子说：‘你不要多说了。我实现了长久的愿望，怎么可能被赦免呢！’ 于是命令狱吏说：‘断绝他的饮食，用饥饿来杀死他。’ 狱吏将要进入监狱时，洴沙王面向佛陀所在的方向，叩头再拜说：‘我的儿子犯下了天地不容的罪恶，但我对他没有丝毫的怨恨之心。我只希望佛陀的教诲能够流传下去：世间没有永恒的快乐，痛苦却会长久存在。’说完进入监狱，披散着头发，仰天呼喊道：‘痛苦啊！天道难道是这样的吗！’ 后妃贵人、全国上下，无论老少，没有不悲哀恸哭的。王后对太子说：‘大王带着镣铐，身处牢狱，坐卧都需要别人照顾，那痛苦难以言说。自从你出生以来，大王对你一片赤诚，时时刻刻牵挂着你，吃饭睡觉都不曾忘记，身体稍有不适，就守护在你身边，为你流泪，内心焦灼，身体枯槁，恨不得用自己的性命来代替你死去。你应该记住天地和父母的养育之恩，不要做出这等悖逆之事啊。佛经上说：‘善到了极点，没有比孝顺父母更大的了；恶到了极点，大概就是伤害父母了吧！’年幼的尊敬年长的，上天都会保佑，更何况是孝顺父母呢！你顺从凶残暴虐之心，做出这等深重的罪恶，必定会堕入太山地狱。世间六十亿年才相当于太山地狱的一天一夜，在那里所经历的各种痛苦，每一种都要经历漫长的岁月。你将要全部承受这些，难道不艰难吗！那些一时痛快的人，没有不后悔的。

English version: ‘Jianzhi, keep the Buddha's precepts in mind.’ The king said to the prince: ‘Every time you are sick, I am worried and anxious, wishing to risk my life to save you from danger. The benevolence and kindness of parents are surpassed only by Heaven. What is in your heart that you can bear to commit such a rebellious and evil act? Those who kill their parents will fall into Tai Mountain (Mount Tai) hell after death, without end or rest; you will bear this consequence. I am your father, you should respect me. Even valuing filial piety, I fear that my name does not match my actions, how much more so killing your father! I intend to give the kingdom to you, and then go to the Buddha to become a Shramana (Buddhist monk). I view lust as if it were a fire burning my body. The beauty of women is like empty space, and those without wisdom are invariably deluded by it! Only by reading the Buddhist scriptures can one see the falseness and evil of women, and understand the harm that glory and profit bring to the body.’ The prince said: ‘Do not say more. I have obtained my long-cherished wish, how can there be any pardon!’ He ordered the prison warden: ‘Cut off his food and drink, and starve him to death.’ As the prison warden was about to enter the prison, King Ping Sha (Pingsha King) faced the direction where the Buddha was, bowed deeply and said: ‘My son has committed an evil that is intolerable to Heaven and Earth, but I have not a trace of resentment in my heart towards him. I only hope that the Buddha's teachings will continue to spread: there is no eternal happiness in the world, and suffering will be long-lasting.’ After saying this, he entered the prison, let down his hair, and cried out to the sky: ‘Painful! Is this the way of Heaven!’ The consorts, nobles, and all the people of the kingdom, both great and small, were in mourning and grief. The queen said to the prince: ‘The great king is wearing shackles, confined in prison, and needs others to take care of him when sitting or lying down; the pain is indescribable. Since you were born, the great king has been sincere to you, constantly concerned about you, never forgetting you while eating or sleeping. When his body is slightly unwell, he stays by your side, shedding tears for you, his heart burning with anxiety, his body withered, wishing to give his own life to die in your place. You should remember the nurturing grace of Heaven and your parents, and do not commit such a rebellious act. The Buddha said in the scriptures: ‘The greatest of good is none greater than filial piety; the greatest of evil is probably harming one's parents!’ When the young respect the old, Heaven will bless them, how much more so filial piety towards parents! You follow your cruel and violent heart, committing such a grave evil, and will surely fall into Tai Mountain hell. Sixty billion years in the world is equivalent to one day and one night in Tai Mountain hell, and the various sufferings experienced there, each one lasts for countless years. You will have to endure all of these, is it not difficult! Those who seek momentary pleasure will all regret it.’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”

太子曰：“吾少小有志杀父为王。今日获愿，何谏之云乎！” 后曰：“夫不用谏者，亡国之基矣！吾欲见大王，宁可不乎？” 太子曰：“可。” 后净身澡浴，以蜜麨涂身，入见大王，面颜瘦痟不识。举哀，闻之者莫不挥泪。后曰：“佛说荣乐无常，罪苦有恒。” 王曰：“狱吏绝饷食，饥渴日久。身八万户，户有数百种虫，扰吾腹中。血肉消尽，寿命且穷矣！”言之哽咽，息绝复连。 后曰：“具照斯艰。妾以麨蜜涂身，可就食之。当惟佛诫无忽也。” 王食毕，向佛所在，哽咽稽首曰：“佛说荣福难保，如幻如梦，诚如尊教。”谓后曰：“吾为王时，国土广大，衣食从好。而今处狱，当就饿死。子所从得桀逆之师，违佛仁教。吾不惧死，唯恨不面禀佛清化，与鹙鹭子、目连、大迦叶讲尊道奥耳。”王重谓后曰：“佛说恩爱犹若众鸟会栖于树，晨各离散，随其殃福。目连众垢已除，诸恶已灭，得于六通、四达，尚为贪嫉梵志所捶，岂况吾哉！为殃恶追人，犹影寻身，响之应声。佛时难遇，神化难闻，贤众行高，仪式无量，非世儒所能履行。怀佛经典，以仁化民；获供养之福，禀其清化，诚亦难值哉！吾今死矣！迁神远逝。夫欲建志，莫尚佛教也。汝慎守之，防 现代汉语译本 太子说：‘我从小就立志杀父篡位。今天终于如愿以偿，还劝谏什么呢！’ 王后说：‘不听劝谏，是国家灭亡的根基啊！我想见大王，可以吗？’ 太子说：‘可以。’ 王后沐浴净身，用蜜和炒面涂满全身，进去见大王，（因为长期囚禁）面容憔悴消瘦，已经无法辨认。她举哀哭泣，听到的人没有不流泪的。王后说：‘佛陀说荣华快乐是无常的，罪恶痛苦却是永恒的。’ 国王说：‘狱卒断绝了我的食物，我已经饥渴很久了。我身上有八万个毛孔，每个毛孔里都有数百种虫子，扰乱我的腹中。血肉都快要消尽了，寿命也快要终结了！’说着哽咽起来，气息断断续续。 王后说：‘我详细地了解了您的困境。我用炒面和蜜涂满全身，您可以吃我的肉来充饥。但请务必记住佛陀的教诲，不要忘记啊。’ 国王吃完后，朝着佛陀所在的方向，哽咽着叩头说：‘佛陀说荣华福报难以保持，如同幻影和梦境，确实如您所教导的那样。’他告诉王后说：‘我做国王的时候，国土广大，衣食无忧。而现在身处监狱，即将饿死。你的儿子从哪里学来了这种悖逆的行径，违背佛陀的仁慈教诲。我不害怕死亡，只是遗憾不能亲自聆听佛陀的清净教化，与舍利弗（Sariputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）、目犍连（Maudgalyayana，佛陀十大弟子之一，以神通著称）、摩诃迦叶（Mahakasyapa，佛陀十大弟子之一，以头陀行著称）一起探讨佛法的奥妙。’国王再次对王后说：‘佛陀说恩爱就像群鸟聚集在树上，早晨各自离散，随各自的业力而行。目犍连（Maudgalyayana）已经清除了所有的污垢，消灭了所有的罪恶，获得了六神通、四无碍解，尚且被贪婪嫉妒的梵志所殴打，更何况是我呢！罪恶追随人，就像影子追随身体，回声回应声音一样。佛陀出世难以遇到，佛法的神妙教化难以听闻，贤圣僧众的德行高尚，威仪无量，不是世俗的儒生所能做到的。心中怀有佛陀的经典，用仁爱来教化人民；获得供养的福报，禀承佛陀的清净教化，实在是难以遇到的啊！我现在要死了！神识即将远离。想要建立志向，没有比佛教更好的了。你一定要谨慎地守护它，防’
