其日不兰迦叶往到其门，歌颂如来吉祥之偈： “长者今日， 吉祥集至， 一切福应， 室族吉利。 昔所殖福， 其报有四， 大小欢悦， 世间无比。 诸天龙神， 咸为降伏， 快哉长者， 猥获吉福。 如春种禾， 秋则成熟， 先作后受， 影报随逐。” 于是不兰迦叶说此偈时，长者闻之，举门忿恚：“天下凶殃无过于我。云何此人裸形无耻，在此妖蛊，说我吉祥，益我忧烦？”即出捶打，从头至足，无不被患。举身大痛，匍匐还家。 六师宗等逆问其意。答言：“此变正由瞿昙。”内不自克，反怨世尊。 尔时世尊在罗阅祇竹园之中，与诸大众围绕说法。佛告众会：“不兰迦叶前从如来求索一偈，欲诣长者，歌颂求宝。如来谏之，其于不信。今已在彼，遭痛毒患。” 阿难白佛：“不兰迦叶与此长者有何因缘而被此患？” 佛告阿难：“乃昔久远不可计数阿僧祇劫，时有国王，亦名音悦。复有一鸟，名曰鹦鹉，在王宫上，鸣声和好。王时昼寝，闻鸟鸣声，惊觉，问其左右：‘此为何鸟，鸣声妙好？’侍者白言：‘有一奇鸟，五色焜煌，适在宫上，鸣已便去。’王即遣大众，步骑络绎，逐而求之。推寻殊久，捕得与王。王得 现代汉语译本 那天，富兰那·迦叶（Purana Kashyapa，六师外道之一）来到长者（Gṛhapati，古印度在家修行者）的门前，歌颂如来的吉祥偈： ‘长者今日，吉祥集至，一切福应，室族吉利。昔所殖福，其报有四，大小欢悦，世间无比。诸天龙神，咸为降伏，快哉长者，猥获吉福。如春种禾，秋则成熟，先作后受，影报随逐。’ 当时，富兰那·迦叶说这偈语时，长者听了，举门上下都非常愤怒：‘天下凶险灾殃没有比我更严重的了。为什么这个人裸形**，在这里妖言惑众，说我吉祥，增加我的忧愁烦恼？’随即出门捶打他，从头到脚，没有不被打到的地方。富兰那·迦叶浑身疼痛，只能匍匐着爬回家。 六师（佛教以外的六种主要思想流派的老师）的信徒们询问他发生了什么事。他回答说：‘这次变故正是由于乔达摩（Gautama，释迦牟尼佛的姓）。’他内心不能自我控制，反而怨恨世尊。 当时，世尊在罗阅祇（Rāmagṛha，王舍城）的竹园（Veṇuvana）中，与众多弟子围绕着说法。佛告诉大众：‘富兰那·迦叶之前曾向如来我请求一偈，想要去长者那里，歌颂以求得财宝。我劝谏他，但他不相信。现在他已经在那里，遭受了痛苦的灾祸。’ 阿难（Ānanda，释迦牟尼佛的十大弟子之一）问佛：‘富兰那·迦叶与这位长者有什么因缘，以至于遭受这样的祸患？’ 佛告诉阿难：‘在过去很久远不可计数的阿僧祇劫（asaṃkhya-kalpa，极长的时间单位）之前，有一位国王，也名叫音悦。还有一只鸟，名叫鹦鹉，在王宫上鸣叫，声音非常悦耳。国王当时正在午睡，听到鸟的叫声，惊醒，问左右侍从：‘这是什么鸟，鸣叫的声音如此美妙？’侍从回答说：‘有一只奇异的鸟，五彩斑斓，刚才在王宫上，鸣叫之后就飞走了。’国王立即派遣大批人马，步兵骑兵络绎不绝，追寻这只鸟。寻找了很久，终于抓住了它献给国王。国王得到

English version That day, Purana Kashyapa (one of the six non-Buddhist teachers) went to the gate of the Gṛhapati (householder, a lay practitioner in ancient India), chanting auspicious verses of the Tathagata (the thus-gone, an epithet of the Buddha): 'O householder, today, auspiciousness gathers, all blessings respond, the family is fortunate. The merits planted in the past, their rewards are fourfold, great and small rejoice, unparalleled in the world. Gods, dragons, and spirits, all are subdued, happy is the householder, who has obtained auspicious blessings. Like sowing rice in spring, it ripens in autumn, first acting then receiving, the shadow of reward follows.' At that time, when Purana Kashyapa spoke this verse, the householder heard it and the whole household was filled with anger: 'There is no greater misfortune in the world than what has befallen me. Why is this naked ascetic here, uttering bewitching words, speaking of my auspiciousness, increasing my worries and troubles?' Immediately he went out and beat him, from head to toe, there was no place untouched. Purana Kashyapa was in great pain all over his body, and could only crawl back home. The followers of the six teachers (teachers of the six major schools of thought outside of Buddhism) asked him what had happened. He replied: 'This change is precisely due to Gautama (the family name of Shakyamuni Buddha).' He could not control himself inwardly, and instead resented the World-Honored One. At that time, the World-Honored One was in the Bamboo Grove (Veṇuvana) in Rajagriha (Rāmagṛha), surrounded by many disciples, expounding the Dharma. The Buddha told the assembly: 'Purana Kashyapa had previously asked the Tathagata for a verse, wanting to go to the householder, chanting to seek treasures. I advised him against it, but he did not believe. Now he is there, suffering painful calamities.' Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha) asked the Buddha: 'What karmic connection does Purana Kashyapa have with this householder, that he should suffer such misfortune?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'In the distant past, countless asaṃkhya-kalpas (extremely long units of time) ago, there was a king, also named Yin Yue. There was also a bird, named Parrot, which sang beautifully on the royal palace. The king was taking a nap at noon, and when he heard the bird's song, he woke up, and asked the attendants around him: 'What is this bird, whose song is so beautiful?' The attendants replied: 'There is a strange bird, with five colors, which was just on the palace, and flew away after singing.' The king immediately sent a large number of people, infantry and cavalry in succession, to search for the bird. After searching for a long time, they finally caught it and presented it to the king. The king obtained --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

欢喜，爱乐无厌，即以珠玑、水精、琉璃、真珠、珊瑚璎珞其身，头颈、羽翮无不周遍。常着左右，昼夜看视，不去须臾。 “后复有鸟，名曰秃枭，来在宫上。看见鹦鹉独得优宠，即问鹦鹉：‘何缘致此？’鹦鹉答言：‘我来宫上悲鸣殊好。国王爱敬于我，取我常着左右，五色珠玑璎珞我身。’秃枭闻之，心怀嫉妒，心即念言：‘我亦当鸣，令殊于卿。国王亦当爱宠我身。’王时出卧，秃枭即鸣。王即惊觉，㱇然毛竖，如畏怖状。王问左右：‘此为何声，惊动怖我？’侍者白言：‘有恶声鸟，名曰秃枭。’王即恚曰：‘促遣大众，分布推索！’即得与王。王令左右生拔毛羽，举身大痛，步行而去。到其野田，众鸟问言：‘何缘致此？’秃枭瞋恚，不责己身，答众鸟言：‘正坐鹦鹉，故得此患。’” 佛言：“善声招福，恶声致祸。罪报由己，反怒鹦鹉。” 佛告阿难：“昔国王者，今长者音悦是。鹦鹉者，我身是。秃枭者，今不兰迦叶是。昔嫉鹦鹉，即被毒患。今嫉如来，获痛难言。贪嫉烧身，何况苦难。所以者何？不兰迦叶诽谤如来前后六事。何等为六？一者、在于难国，兴贪嫉心，诽谤如来；二者、于罗阅祇，以竹园故，诽谤如来；三者、在罗阅祇，诣长者音悦家，贪其金宝，诽谤如来；四 现代汉语译本 国王非常喜爱鹦鹉，对它爱不释手，总是用珍珠、水精、琉璃、真珠、珊瑚等珠宝装饰它的身体，从头到颈，甚至羽毛上都缀满了珠宝。国王总是让鹦鹉待在自己身边，日夜观看，片刻也不愿离开。 后来，有一只名叫秃枭的鸟飞到王宫上。它看到鹦鹉如此受宠，就问鹦鹉：‘你凭什么得到这样的待遇？’鹦鹉回答说：‘我来到王宫后，鸣叫的声音非常美妙。国王因此喜爱我、尊敬我，总是让我待在身边，用五颜六色的珠宝装饰我的身体。’秃枭听了，心怀嫉妒，心想：‘我也要鸣叫，而且要比你叫得更好听。国王也一定会宠爱我。’国王正在睡觉的时候，秃枭就开始鸣叫。国王立刻被惊醒，吓得毛发直竖，非常害怕。国王问左右侍从：‘这是什么声音，如此惊扰我？’侍从回答说：‘是一种声音难听的鸟，名叫秃枭。’国王非常生气，说：‘快派人去搜捕它！’很快，秃枭就被抓到了国王面前。国王命令侍从拔光它的羽毛，秃枭疼痛难忍，只能步行离开。它走到田野里，其他的鸟问它：‘你为什么会变成这样？’秃枭非常生气，不反省自己的过错，反而对众鸟说：‘都是因为鹦鹉，我才遭此祸患。’ 佛陀说：‘美妙的声音能招来福报，难听的声音会招致灾祸。罪业的果报都是自己造成的，反而迁怒于鹦鹉。’ 佛陀告诉阿难（Ananda）：‘从前的国王就是现在的长者音悦（音悦，name of a person）。鹦鹉就是我的前身。秃枭就是现在的不兰迦叶（Puranakashyapa）。他过去嫉妒鹦鹉，因此遭受痛苦。现在他嫉妒如来（Tathagata），所受的痛苦更是难以言说。贪婪和嫉妒会焚烧自身，更何况是苦难呢？’这是为什么呢？因为不兰迦叶诽谤如来前后六件事。是哪六件事呢？第一件，在难国（Nanda），他生起贪婪和嫉妒之心，诽谤如来；第二件，在罗阅祇（Rajagriha），因为竹园（Bamboo Grove），诽谤如来；第三件，在罗阅祇，到长者音悦家，贪图他的金银珠宝，诽谤如来；第四

English version The king was very fond of the parrot, lavishing affection on it and adorning its body with jewels such as pearls, crystal, lapis lazuli, genuine pearls, and coral necklaces, covering its head, neck, and even its feathers. He always kept the parrot by his side, watching it day and night, unwilling to part with it even for a moment. Later, a bird called a 'bald owl' came to the palace. Seeing the parrot receiving such favor, it asked the parrot, 'How did you achieve this?' The parrot replied, 'I came to the palace and my cries were exceptionally beautiful. The king loves and respects me for it, keeping me always by his side and adorning my body with five-colored jewels.' Upon hearing this, the bald owl became jealous and thought, 'I too shall cry, and I will cry even better than you. The king will surely favor me as well.' When the king was asleep, the bald owl began to cry. The king was immediately startled awake, his hair standing on end in fear. The king asked his attendants, 'What is this sound that startles and frightens me?' The attendants replied, 'It is a bird with an unpleasant voice, called a bald owl.' The king was furious and said, 'Quickly send people to search for it!' Soon, the bald owl was brought before the king. The king ordered his attendants to pluck out its feathers, causing it great pain, and it was forced to leave on foot. When it reached the fields, the other birds asked it, 'What happened to you?' The bald owl, filled with anger, did not blame itself but instead told the other birds, 'It is all because of the parrot that I have suffered this fate.' The Buddha said, 'A beautiful voice brings blessings, while an unpleasant voice brings misfortune. The consequences of one's actions are self-inflicted; it is wrong to blame the parrot.' The Buddha told Ananda (Ananda): 'The former king is now the elder Yin Yue (Yin Yue, name of a person). The parrot is my past self. The bald owl is now Puranakashyapa (Puranakashyapa). He was jealous of the parrot in the past, and therefore suffered pain. Now he is jealous of the Tathagata (Tathagata), and the pain he suffers is even more unspeakable. Greed and jealousy burn oneself, let alone suffering.' Why is this? Because Puranakashyapa slandered the Tathagata in six matters, both before and after. What are the six matters? First, in the country of Nanda (Nanda), he arose with greed and jealousy, slandering the Tathagata; second, in Rajagriha (Rajagriha), because of the Bamboo Grove (Bamboo Grove), he slandered the Tathagata; third, in Rajagriha, he went to the house of the elder Yin Yue, coveting his gold and jewels, slandering the Tathagata; fourth --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

者、于摩竭提界，贪于供养，诽谤如来；五者、在维耶离国，贪名利养，诽谤如来；六者、在舍卫国，贪于利养及惜名称，诽谤如来。于时国王驱逐出国。不兰迦叶六师徒等同心说言：‘瞿昙实神，莫不敬重。吾等术浅，名称崩颓，处处见忽，当用活为。’即时以沙而着瓶中，自沉于水，于是寿命终，即入地狱，考治一切，苦痛无量。” 佛重告言：“当未来世多有贪嫉弊恶之人，诽谤贡高，相求长短，是则自烧痛哉。阿难！是故汝当广宣斯经，以护将来如斯之党！” 阿难白佛：“长者音悦昔殖何德获此四福？何所罪行而复失之？” 佛告阿难：“音悦前世为年少时，钦戴佛法及与圣众，供养尽忠而愿豪富。纳妻之后专迷着色，违慢三宝，又无慈心仁接长幼。是故报应，适毕便散。汝开导、宣告，令知其要。” 佛说此已，四部弟子、天、龙、鬼神、国王、臣民、一切众会闻经欢喜，莫不作礼。 佛说长者音悦经 现代汉语译本：一人在摩揭陀国（Magadha），贪图供养，诽谤如来（Tathagata）；一人在毗舍离国（Vaisali），贪图名利供养，诽谤如来；一人在舍卫国（Sravasti），贪图利养并吝惜名声，诽谤如来。当时国王将他们驱逐出国。富兰那·迦叶（Purana Kassapa）等六师的徒弟们同心说：‘乔达摩（Gautama）确实是神，没有人不敬重。我们法术浅薄，名声崩塌衰败，处处被人轻视，活着还有什么用。’随即用沙子装入瓶中，自己沉入水中，于是寿命终结，立即堕入地狱，遭受拷打惩治，痛苦无量。 佛陀再次告诫说：‘当未来世，会有很多贪婪嫉妒、卑鄙邪恶的人，诽谤他人，贡高我慢，互相争论长短，这实际上是自己焚烧自己，真是痛苦啊。阿难（Ananda）！因此你应当广泛宣扬这部经，用来保护未来像这样的人们！’ 阿难问佛：‘长者音悦过去种了什么德行而获得这四种福报？又做了什么罪行而又失去这些福报呢？’ 佛告诉阿难：‘音悦前世还是少年时，钦佩信奉佛法以及圣众，供养尽心尽力，并希望变得豪富。娶妻之后，专心迷恋女色，违背怠慢三宝，又没有慈悲心仁爱地对待长辈和晚辈。因此，报应结束，福报也就消散了。你要开导、宣告，让他们知道其中的要点。’ 佛说完这些话后，四部弟子、天、龙、鬼神、国王、臣民、一切在场的听众听了这部经都非常欢喜，没有谁不顶礼膜拜。 《佛说长者音悦经》

English version: One person in the Magadha realm, greedy for offerings, slandered the Tathagata (Tathagata); one person in the Vaisali (Vaisali) country, greedy for fame and profit, slandered the Tathagata; one person in the Sravasti (Sravasti) country, greedy for profit and stingy with reputation, slandered the Tathagata. At that time, the king drove them out of the country. The disciples of the six teachers, such as Purana Kassapa (Purana Kassapa), said with one heart: 'Gautama (Gautama) is indeed a god, and no one does not respect him. Our skills are shallow, our reputation has collapsed and declined, and we are despised everywhere. What is the use of living?' Immediately, they filled a bottle with sand and drowned themselves in the water, and then their lives ended, and they immediately fell into hell, where they were tortured and punished, and the pain was immeasurable. The Buddha again warned: 'In the future world, there will be many greedy, jealous, and evil people who slander others, are arrogant and self-important, and argue with each other about their strengths and weaknesses. This is actually burning oneself, which is really painful. Ananda (Ananda)! Therefore, you should widely proclaim this sutra to protect such people in the future!' Ananda asked the Buddha: 'What virtues did the elder Yinyue plant in the past to obtain these four blessings? And what sins did he commit to lose these blessings?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'When Yinyue was young in his previous life, he admired and believed in the Buddha's teachings and the Sangha, made offerings wholeheartedly, and hoped to become wealthy. After marrying a wife, he was devoted to lust, violated and neglected the Three Jewels, and had no compassion or kindness towards elders and juniors. Therefore, when the retribution ended, the blessings also dissipated. You should enlighten and proclaim, so that they know the key points.' After the Buddha finished speaking, the fourfold disciples, devas, nagas, ghosts, gods, kings, ministers, people, and all those present who heard this sutra were very happy, and no one did not bow in reverence.
