English version The Buddha Speaks the Sutra of King Śuddhodana's Parinirvana Translated by Layman Juqu Jingsheng of the Song Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha (Royal City), together with a large assembly of bhikṣus (monks). At that time, the World-Honored One's light was radiant and brilliant, like the sun rising and illuminating the world. At that time, the king of the Śākya (Shakya) kingdom, named Śuddhodana (Pure Rice) – who governed with righteous Dharma, valued propriety, virtue, benevolence, and righteousness, and always practiced loving-kindness – was afflicted with a severe illness. The four great elements in his body were simultaneously acting up, harming his body. His limbs and joints were about to come apart, and his breathing was unsteady, like a rushing stream. The assisting ministers proclaimed throughout the kingdom for skilled physicians, who all came to examine the king's illness, administering medicine according to his condition, and treating him with various methods, but none could cure him. Auspicious signs had already appeared, indicating that he would soon pass away. At that time, the king was restless, tossing and turning, like a fish in shallow water. The queen and concubines, seeing him like this, became even more sorrowful and distressed. At that time, King Śuklodana (White Rice), King Dronodana (Rice Measure), King Mahānāma (Great Name), and other ministers all spoke in unison, saying, 'If the king were to pass away now, we would forever lose our protection, and the kingdom would become weak.' The king's body trembled, his lips were dry, his voice was intermittent, his eyes were blurred, and tears fell. At that time, all the kings, with reverence, knelt with palms together and said in unison, 'Your Majesty's nature has always been averse to evil. Even for a finger-snap's time, you accumulate merit without weariness, protecting and nurturing the people, so that none are without peace. Your name is known throughout the ten directions. Why are you so sorrowful and distressed today?' At that time, King Śuddhodana, speaking intermittently, told the kings, 'Even if my life were to pass away, I would not feel bitter, but I regret not seeing my son Siddhartha (He who achieves his goal), and I also regret not seeing my second son Nanda (Joy), who can eliminate greed, lust, and worldly desires; I also regret not seeing Dronodana's son Ānanda (Bliss), who can uphold the treasury of the Buddha's Dharma without losing a single word; I also regret not seeing my grandson Rāhula (Fetter), who, although young in age, is fully endowed with spiritual powers and whose conduct in precepts is without flaw.

设得见是诸子等，我病虽笃，未离生死，不以为苦。”诸在王边，闻如是语，莫不啼泣，泪下如雨。 时白饭王，答净饭王言：“我闻世尊在王舍城耆阇崛山中，去此悬远，五十由旬。王今转羸，设遣使者，道路悬邈，惧恐迟晚，无所加益。唯愿大王，莫大愁悒悬念诸子。” 时，净饭王闻是语已，垂泪而言，答白饭王：“我子等辈，虽复辽远，意望不断。所以者何？我子成佛，以大慈悲，恒以神通，天眼彻视，天耳洞听，救接众生应可度者，如有百千万亿众生，为水所溺，以慈愍心，为作船筏，而度脱之，终不劳疲。譬如有人为贼所围，或值怨敌惶怖失计，不望自济；唯求救护，依有势者，欲从恐难而得解脱。譬如有人时得重病，欲得良医以疗其疾；如我今日，望见世尊，亦复如是。所以然者？世尊昼夜，常以三时，恒以天眼，观于众生应受化者，以慈愍心，如母念子。” 尔时，世尊在灵鹫山，天耳遥闻，迦维罗卫大城之中，父王悒迟及诸王言，即以天眼，遥见父王，病卧着床羸困憔悴命欲向终，知父渴仰欲见诸子。 尔时，世尊告难陀曰：“父王净饭，胜世间王，是我曹父，今得重病，宜当往见，余命少在，时严速发，我曹应往，及命存在，得与相见，令王愿满。” 难陀受教 现代汉语译本： ‘如果能见到这些孩子们，我即使病重，尚未脱离生死轮回，也不会觉得痛苦。’那些在国王身边的人，听到这样的话，没有不哭泣的，眼泪像下雨一样。 当时，白饭王回答净饭王说：‘我听说世尊（释迦牟尼佛）在王舍城（Rājagṛha）的耆阇崛山（Gṛdhrakūṭa），距离这里非常遥远，有五十由旬（yojana）。大王现在身体虚弱，即使派遣使者，道路遥远，恐怕时间太晚，没有什么帮助。只希望大王，不要过度忧愁，悬念诸位王子。’ 当时，净饭王听到这些话后，流着眼泪说，回答白饭王：‘我的孩子们，即使遥远，我的思念也不会断绝。为什么呢？我的儿子成了佛，以大慈悲心，经常以神通，用天眼彻视，用天耳洞听，救助那些应该被救度的众生。如有成百上千万亿的众生，被水淹没，他会以慈悲怜悯之心，为他们制造船筏，而救度他们，终不疲倦。譬如有人被盗贼包围，或者遇到怨敌，惊慌失措，不期望自救；只求救护，依靠有势力的人，希望从恐惧和困难中得到解脱。譬如有人得了重病，想要得到良医来治疗他的疾病；我今天，盼望见到世尊，也是这样。为什么这样说呢？世尊日夜，经常在三个时辰，经常用天眼，观察众生中应该被教化的人，以慈悲怜悯之心，像母亲思念儿子一样。’ 这时，世尊在灵鹫山（Gṛdhrakūṭa），用天耳遥远地听到，在迦维罗卫（Kapilavastu）大城之中，父王忧愁迟疑以及诸位大臣的言语，立即用天眼，遥远地看见父王，病卧在床，虚弱憔悴，生命将要终结，知道父王渴望见到诸位王子。 当时，世尊告诉难陀（Nanda）说：‘父王净饭（Śuddhodana），是超越世间诸王的国王，是我们的父亲，现在得了重病，应该前去探望，剩余的生命不多了，要迅速出发，我们应该前去，趁着生命还在，能够与他相见，让父王的心愿圆满。’ 难陀接受了教诲。

English version: ‘If I could see these sons, even though my illness is severe and I have not yet escaped birth and death, I would not feel it as suffering.’ Those who were by the king's side, hearing these words, could not help but weep, tears falling like rain. At that time, Bālabhojana (White Rice King) replied to Śuddhodana (Pure Rice King), saying, ‘I have heard that the World-Honored One (Bhagavan) is at Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha (Royal City), which is very far from here, fifty yojanas (leagues). The king is now weak, and even if messengers were sent, the road is long and distant, I fear it would be too late and of no help. I only hope that the Great King does not grieve excessively and worry about the princes.’ At that time, Śuddhodana, hearing these words, wept and said in reply to Bālabhojana, ‘My sons, even though they are far away, my thoughts of them will not cease. Why is that? My son has become a Buddha, with great compassion, constantly using his supernatural powers, using his heavenly eye to see through everything, using his heavenly ear to hear everything, to rescue those beings who should be saved. If there are hundreds of millions of billions of beings drowning in water, he will, with a compassionate heart, make rafts for them and deliver them, never tiring. It is like someone surrounded by thieves, or encountering enemies, panicking and losing their senses, not expecting to save themselves; they only seek rescue, relying on those with power, hoping to be freed from fear and difficulty. It is like someone who has a serious illness, wanting to find a good doctor to cure their disease; as I am today, hoping to see the World-Honored One, it is also like that. Why is that? The World-Honored One, day and night, constantly at three times, constantly uses his heavenly eye to observe those beings who should be transformed, with a compassionate heart, like a mother thinking of her son.’ At that time, the World-Honored One was on Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain, and with his heavenly ear, he heard from afar, in the great city of Kapilavastu, the words of his father, the king, hesitating and worrying, and the words of the ministers. Immediately, with his heavenly eye, he saw from afar his father, the king, lying sick in bed, weak and emaciated, his life nearing its end, knowing that his father longed to see his sons. At that time, the World-Honored One said to Nanda, ‘King Śuddhodana, who surpasses the kings of the world, is our father, and now he is seriously ill. We should go to see him. There is little life remaining. We should depart quickly, we should go, while life remains, to be able to see him, so that the king's wish may be fulfilled.’ Nanda received the teaching. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

，长跪作礼：“唯然，世尊！净饭王者，是我曹父，所作奇特，能生圣子，利益世间，今宜往诣，报育养恩。” 阿难合掌前白佛言：“我随世尊贪共相见，净饭王者是我伯父，听我出家为佛弟子，得佛为师，是故欲往。” 罗云复前，而白佛言：“世尊虽是我父，弃国求道，我蒙祖王育养成就，而得出家，是故欲往奉觐祖王。” 佛言：“善哉！善哉！宜知是时，令王愿满。” 于是，世尊即以神足，犹如雁王，踊身虚空，忽然而现在迦维罗卫，放大光明。国中人民，遥见佛来，皆共举声，涕泪而言：“设大王崩，舍夷国名必绝灭矣。”城中人民向佛啼哭，白世尊言：“尔时，太子逾出宫城，诣蓝毗树下，而坐思惟，父王见之，稽首敬礼。大王如是，命断不久，唯愿如来，宜可时往及共相见。” 国中人民，宛转自扑，哽咽啼哭，中有自绝璎珞者、中有自裂坏衣服者、中有自㨑拔其发者、中有取灰土而自坌者，痛彻骨髓，犹癫狂人。 佛见是已，谏国中人：“无常别离，古今有是，汝等诸人！当思念之，生死为苦，唯道是真。”佛以法雨，灌众生心，以种种法，而开解之。 于是世尊，即以十力、四无所畏、十八不共诸佛之法，放大光明；更复重以三十二相、八十种好 现代汉语译本：他们长跪行礼说：‘是的，世尊！净饭王（Śuddhodana），是我们的父亲，他所做的奇特之事，是能生下您这位圣子，利益世间，现在应该前去拜见，报答他的养育之恩。’ 阿难（Ānanda）合掌上前对佛说：‘我跟随世尊，一直希望能与他相见，净饭王是我的伯父，他允许我出家成为佛的弟子，并以佛为师，因此我想前去拜见。’ 罗睺罗（Rāhula）也上前对佛说：‘世尊虽然是我的父亲，但他舍弃国家追求真理，我蒙受祖父净饭王的养育才得以长大成人，并能出家修行，因此我想前去拜见祖父。’ 佛说：‘好啊！好啊！你们应该知道时机，让国王的心愿得以满足。’ 于是，世尊立即运用神通，像雁王一样，腾身飞向天空，忽然出现在迦毗罗卫（Kapilavastu），并放出耀眼的光芒。国中的人民远远地看见佛陀到来，都一起放声大哭，流着眼泪说：‘如果大王驾崩，释迦（Śākya）国之名必定灭绝啊。’城中的人民向佛陀哭诉说：‘当初，太子逾越宫城，前往蓝毗尼（Lumbini）树下，静坐思惟，父王见到后，也稽首敬礼。大王现在这样，寿命将尽不久，唯愿如来，可以及时前去与他相见。’ 国中的人民，倒地打滚，哽咽啼哭，有人扯断自己的璎珞，有人撕裂自己的衣服，有人揪拔自己的头发，有人抓起灰土往自己身上撒，痛苦彻入骨髓，就像癫狂之人一样。 佛陀见到这种情况，劝诫国中的人民说：‘无常和别离，自古以来就是如此，你们这些人！应当思念这些道理，生死是痛苦的，只有真道才是真实的。’佛陀用佛法之雨，灌溉众生的心田，用种种佛法，来开导他们。 于是世尊，以十力、四无所畏、十八不共法等诸佛的功德，放出大光明；又以三十二相、八十种好

English version: They knelt down and paid homage, saying, 'Yes, World Honored One! King Śuddhodana is our father. The extraordinary thing he did was to give birth to you, the Holy Son, benefiting the world. Now we should go and visit him to repay his nurturing grace.' Ānanda, with his palms together, stepped forward and said to the Buddha, 'I have been following the World Honored One, always hoping to see him. King Śuddhodana is my uncle. He allowed me to leave home and become a disciple of the Buddha, and to have the Buddha as my teacher. Therefore, I wish to go and visit him.' Rāhula also stepped forward and said to the Buddha, 'Although the World Honored One is my father, he abandoned the kingdom to seek the Way. I was raised and nurtured by my grandfather, the King, and was able to leave home. Therefore, I wish to go and pay my respects to my grandfather.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent! Excellent! You should know the right time to fulfill the King's wishes.' Thereupon, the World Honored One immediately used his supernatural powers, like a wild goose king, soaring into the sky, and suddenly appeared in Kapilavastu, emitting great light. The people in the country, seeing the Buddha coming from afar, all cried out in unison, weeping and saying, 'If the Great King passes away, the name of the Śākya kingdom will surely be extinguished!' The people in the city cried to the Buddha, saying, 'At that time, the Prince crossed the palace walls and went to the Lumbini tree to sit and contemplate. When the King saw him, he bowed and paid homage. The Great King is now in such a state, his life will not last long. We only hope that the Tathāgata can go and see him in time.' The people in the country fell to the ground, sobbing and crying. Some tore off their necklaces, some tore their clothes, some pulled out their hair, and some took ashes and threw them on themselves, the pain piercing their bones, like madmen. Seeing this, the Buddha admonished the people in the country, 'Impermanence and separation have always been the case since ancient times. All of you! You should contemplate these truths. Birth and death are suffering, only the true path is real.' The Buddha used the rain of Dharma to irrigate the minds of sentient beings, and used various Dharma teachings to enlighten them. Then the World Honored One, with the ten powers, the four fearlessnesses, the eighteen unshared qualities of the Buddhas, emitted great light; and further with the thirty-two marks and eighty minor characteristics --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
