English version The Taisho Tripitaka Volume 14, No. 0529 The Buddha Speaks the Ajukulla Sutra No. 529 The Buddha Speaks the Ajukulla Sutra The Sengyou Record states that this is a classical translation by An Shigao, now included in the Han Record. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove of Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti (Savatthi). The Buddha told the assembled Bhikkhus (monks): 'In the past, there was a merchant named Ajukulla (Ajukulla), who was very wealthy, possessing much gold, silver, jewels, and many servants. Ajukulla did not believe in a future life, believing that doing good does not result in good, and doing evil does not result in evil. Ajukulla said: 'After a person dies, the earth of the body returns to the earth outside, the water of the body returns to the water outside, the fire of the body returns to the fire outside, the wind of the body returns to the wind outside. All the elements of the body combine and return to their original sources. After a person dies, they will never be reborn. The good and evil that a person does, what they think in their heart, what they say with their mouth, and what they do with their body, will all be discarded, and there will be no future life.' 'At that time, Ajukulla, carrying goods worth tens of millions, traveled with five hundred merchants. Ajukulla was the most honored and wealthy among them. The traveling merchants passed through an extremely difficult path where there was no water or grass. The food and water they carried were exhausted. They traveled for one day, two days, and saw no water or grass. They traveled for three days, four days, and still saw no water or grass. The merchants were all terrified, saying: 'Are we all going to starve to death in this desolate desert!' They wept and cried out for their parents, wives, and children.' 'Ajukulla sent riders in all directions to search for water and grass. Ajukulla himself saw a tree in the distance, with green leaves and abundant fruit. He thought that there should be water under this tree, so he went towards the tree. He saw a man, incomparably handsome, who saw Ajukulla riding towards him from afar and welcomed him, saying: 'Welcome, what are you seeking?' Ajukulla was very happy to see the man under the tree answer him, as if he had been reborn. The man under the tree asked: 'Where do you come from? Where do you want to go?' Ajukulla said: 'I want to save my life and the lives of five hundred followers.' The man under the tree asked: 'What do you seek?' Ajukulla said: 'I' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'You want water.' The person under the tree then raised his right hand, and water flowed from the tips of his five fingers, like a flowing spring, very fragrant and sweet, and said to Ajouliu (name of a person): 'Drink to your heart's content.' After drinking, he asked for food again, and the person under the tree raised his right hand, and delicious food flowed from the tips of his fingers. After Ajouliu (name of a person) had eaten and drunk his fill, he began to cry loudly. The person under the tree then asked: 'Why are you crying, benevolent one?' Ajouliu (name of a person) said: 'My five hundred companions and livestock have not had food or drink for three or four days, and are extremely hungry, their lives hanging by a thread, that is why I am crying.' The person under the tree said to Ajouliu (name of a person): 'If you can bring all five hundred people and livestock here, I can feed them all.' Ajouliu (name of a person) immediately ran and told his companions: 'Do not worry anymore, I have found a place with food and drink, follow me.' The companions were overjoyed and followed him to the tree, where they all put their palms together and bowed to the person under the tree. The person under the tree asked: 'What do you want?' The people all said: 'We are very hungry and thirsty.' The person under the tree then raised his right hand again, and a large amount of water flowed from the tips of his five fingers, like a flowing spring, and the people and livestock all drank their fill; then they asked for food, and the person under the tree raised his right hand again, and various delicious foods flowed from the tips of his five fingers and gave it to them, and all five hundred people and livestock were full. The person under the tree then asked: 'Where do you five hundred people want to go, and what do you seek?' The merchants said: 'We all want to go to the sea to seek treasures.' The person under the tree then asked: 'If you all want to seek treasures, then you can get them from my hand.' The person under the tree then raised his right hand, and gold, silver, water crystal (water crystal), lapiz lazuli (lapiz lazuli), coral (coral), amber (amber), and white pearl (white pearl) flowed from the tips of his five fingers, and the people took these treasures, taking as much as they thought was enough, and left. The person under the tree said to Ajouliu (name of a person): 'Take this gold and silver back to your hometown, and use it to give to the poor, give food to those who want food, and give gold, silver, money, clothes, and bedding to those who want them as much as possible. Let the Taoists all pray for me, so that I may receive their blessings, so that my hand...' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 出琦物，又多使我早脱此荒泽中。’

“阿鸠留闻此语大惊怖，便以头面着地，问：‘仁者为何等人乎？是天耶？龙耶？鬼神耶？是人耶？’ “树下人言：‘我亦非天、亦非龙、亦非鬼、亦非人，我是豪薜荔也。我前世时，于国中大贫穷，常在城门下坐，虽贫穷心净洁，爱乐沙门道人，我贫穷不能施人，见他人布施，代其喜。时迦叶佛般泥洹去，诸比丘来从我乞丐食，我应比丘言：“我无所有。”但遥指示城中，某家善可得饭，某家不善不可得饭。比丘乞来出，我见有所得，即欢喜。又迦叶佛般泥洹去，其国王名为基立，为迦叶佛起七宝塔，我辄持手着其上言：“令我得其福。”王上好物于佛塔，我辄持手着之言：“使我得其福。”但用贫故未曾斋，饭食无时又饮酒，是故死后，以作豪薜荔耳。但用我前世见人作善，代其欢喜，手着其物上，是故令我五指端在所出；但用生时未曾斋，故使我作是间薜荔。’ “阿鸠留自念言：‘我前不信有后世生、作善不得善，作恶不得恶。今我眼见，是为审有后世，复生审有作善得善、作恶得恶。从今日以去，归乡里，快当作善，布施与人，恣所求索，人有欲得金银、珍宝、饮食、衣被者，皆与之，不逆人也。’ “阿鸠留归到乡里，语一国中人：‘谁 现代汉语译本：‘出现奇异之物，又多次使我早日脱离这荒凉的沼泽。’ 阿鸠留听了这话非常惊恐，便以头面触地，问道：‘仁者是什么样的人呢？是天神吗？是龙吗？是鬼神吗？是人吗？’ 树下的人说：‘我也不是天神，也不是龙，也不是鬼神，也不是人，我是豪薜荔（一种树神）啊。我前世的时候，在国中非常贫穷，常常在城门下坐着，虽然贫穷但心很纯洁，喜爱沙门（出家修道者）道人（修道之人），我因为贫穷不能布施给别人，见到他人布施，就替他们感到高兴。当时迦叶佛（过去七佛之一）般泥洹（入灭）离去，众比丘（出家修行的男子）来向我乞讨食物，我回答比丘说：“我什么都没有。”只是遥远地指示城中，某家善于施舍可以得到饭食，某家不善于施舍不能得到饭食。比丘乞讨回来拿出食物，我见到他们有所得，就欢喜。又迦叶佛般泥洹离去，当时的国王名为基立（人名），为迦叶佛建造七宝塔，我总是用手触摸其上说：“让我得到其中的福报。”国王将好的物品放在佛塔上，我总是用手触摸它说：“使我得到其中的福报。”只因为贫穷的缘故未曾斋戒，吃饭没有定时又饮酒，所以死后，就变成了豪薜荔。只因为我前世见到别人行善，就替他们欢喜，用手触摸那些物品，所以使我的五指端所在之处都能出产宝物；只因为生前未曾斋戒，所以使我成为这荒凉之地的薜荔。’ 阿鸠留自己心中想：‘我以前不相信有后世，不相信行善能得到善报，作恶会得到恶报。现在我亲眼所见，这确实有后世，确实有行善得善报、作恶得恶报。从今天以后，我回到家乡，一定要多多行善，布施给别人，任凭他们求取，有人想要得到金银、珍宝、饮食、衣被的，都给他们，不违逆别人。’ 阿鸠留回到家乡，告诉全国的人：‘谁

English version: 'Appearing with wondrous things, and repeatedly helping me to escape from this desolate swamp early.' Āqiliu (name) hearing these words was greatly frightened, and prostrated with his head to the ground, asking: 'Benevolent one, what kind of being are you? Are you a deva (god)? A nāga (dragon)? A ghost or spirit? Are you a human?' The person under the tree said: 'I am neither a deva, nor a nāga, nor a ghost, nor a human; I am a Haobili (a tree spirit). In my previous life, I was very poor in the kingdom, and often sat under the city gate. Although poor, my heart was pure, and I loved śramaṇas (ascetics) and Daoists (Taoist practitioners). Because I was poor, I could not give alms to others, but when I saw others giving alms, I rejoiced on their behalf. At that time, Kāśyapa Buddha (one of the past seven Buddhas) entered Parinirvana (final passing away), and the bhikshus (ordained monks) came to me begging for food. I replied to the bhikshus, “I have nothing.” I only pointed remotely to the city, saying that a certain family was good at giving alms and could provide food, while another family was not good at giving alms and could not provide food. When the bhikshus returned with food, I rejoiced when I saw that they had received something. Also, when Kāśyapa Buddha entered Parinirvana, the king at that time, named Jili (name), built a seven-jeweled pagoda for Kāśyapa Buddha. I always touched it with my hand, saying, “May I obtain the blessings from it.” When the king placed good things on the pagoda, I always touched them with my hand, saying, “May I obtain the blessings from it.” But because of my poverty, I never fasted, and my meals were irregular, and I also drank alcohol. Therefore, after death, I became a Haobili. Only because in my previous life I saw others doing good deeds and rejoiced on their behalf, and touched those objects with my hand, my fingertips can produce treasures wherever they are; only because I never fasted during my lifetime, I became a Bili (a type of spirit) in this desolate place.' Āqiliu thought to himself: 'I used to not believe in the existence of future lives, nor that doing good would bring good results, and doing evil would bring evil results. Now I have seen it with my own eyes, there truly is a future life, and it is true that doing good brings good results and doing evil brings evil results. From today onwards, I will return to my hometown and do much good, giving alms to others, allowing them to ask for whatever they want. If anyone wants gold, silver, treasures, food, or clothing, I will give it to them, and I will not go against anyone.' Āqiliu returned to his hometown and told the people of the country: 'Who' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
