English version: Obtaining rotten bones, gnawed and bitten, with broken and missing parts, only leads to self-harm and destruction. What benefit is there in this? Indulging in lust is similar; even after hundreds of thousands of kalpas (Sanskrit: kalpa, an aeon in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology), there will be no merit, not even a hair's breadth, but only the sins of the three evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, and animals). Considering this, I became a śramaṇa (Sanskrit: śramaṇa, a wandering ascetic). 'It is like a tree with abundant flowers and fruits, which travelers covet. They strike it with sticks and stones, and in an instant, the flowers wither, the fruits fall, and the branches and leaves are damaged. The tree, because of its flowers and fruits, invites its own decline and decay. A moth, attracted by the light of a flame, throws itself into the lamp, and its body is burned. What does it gain? Those who are deluded by lust cannot distinguish between good and evil, they distance themselves from the wise and befriend the foolish, and day by day they descend into darkness, leading to the destruction of their country and the suffering of the people. After death, they fall into hell, and their sins accumulate. What use is there in regret then? The Buddha, seeing these truths, revealed the holy path. I hope, by the grace of the Buddha, to see the sutras (Sanskrit: sūtra, discourses of the Buddha) and precepts (Sanskrit: śīla, moral conduct), to keep my mind pure, to be alone and without worry, and to look back at the worldly people and realize my past mistakes. For these reasons, I became a śramaṇa.' Sengda, hearing these words, bowed his head and knelt at the Buddha's feet, saying, 'The Buddha is truly the supreme sage, the most honored among the devas (Sanskrit: deva, gods). The sutras can dispel ignorance and enter my heart. I wish to leave the turbid world and walk the path of purity, to uphold the precepts of a śramaṇa as an honor and a blessing.' Then the master explained to him the important precepts of a śramaṇa. After serving the master for several months, Sengda reported to the master, saying, 'What do you think? I wish to enter the mountains, to practice samadhi (Sanskrit: samādhi, a state of meditative consciousness) in stillness, to seek the truth, and thus extinguish suffering.' The master said, 'Living alone in the mountains is very difficult. Those who live in the mountains should study the stars, understand the seasons and climate, and always store water, fire, roasted flour, and honey. The reason for this is that thieves will come seeking water, fire, roasted flour, and honey. They will come from midnight until dawn, and you should give them what they want. If you do not comply with their wishes, the thieves will kill you.' Sengda said, 'Yes! I will respectfully follow your teachings and learn everything you have commanded.' Then he entered the mountains. His brother thought, 'My brother has become a śramaṇa and will never marry.' His wife, Kuaixian, was beautiful and unparalleled. The brother was attracted to her, so he went to Kuaixian, carrying a qin (Chinese: qín, a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument) and playing it, singing lewd and licentious songs: 'The golden turmeric grows in the fields,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

过时不采，宛见弃捐，曼尔丰炽，华色惟新，与我同欢，固斯厚亲，年一西宿，孰复尔珍？” 快见即觉兄欲为乱，便以歌曲，答佛大曰：“巍巍我师，天人之尊，门徒清洁，谥曰沙门，叹真为圣，淫为畜伦，我受严戒，不事二君，终不淫生，宁就寸分。” 佛大作情悲之曲、委靡之辞：“宿心加尔，故因良媒，问名诣师，占相良时，惨惨惕惕，惧尔不来，既睹光颜，我心怡怡，今不合欢，岂徒费哉，斯誓为定，淑女何疑。” 快见惶㣿，歌答之曰：“佛设礼仪，尊卑有叙，叔妻即子，婿伯即父，我亲奉戒，日有隆举，真与圣齐，淫正虫鼠。噫乎伯子！焉为斯语。” 兄心迷惑，贪好快见，其意又甚，不可转移。快见又歌：“夫人处世，当远二事，不孝淫乱，行违佛戒，天及贤者，笺其自异。” 佛大歌曰：“尔之容色，怿怿灼然，普天美女，岂有尔颜，我心相悦，故逾大山。” 快见自念：“斯子欲我，悖狂之乱，沮致大难，请说身中恶露不净，尔乃却耳。” 快见重曰：“仁贪我躯，躯有何好？头有九骨，合为髑髅，中但有脑，面有七孔，皆出洟唾；以皮裹骨，贪头颈者，皮肉相裹，身有毛发爪齿皮肌血脑骨肉；腹中有心脾肾肠胃肪肺𡱁𡱤脓血寒热，足与胫连，胫与 现代汉语译本： ‘花开当时不采摘，就像被抛弃一样，即使后来再繁盛，颜色再鲜艳，和我一同欢愉，原本是多么亲密的关系，一年才来西边住一次，又有谁会珍惜你呢？’ 快见（Kuaì Jiàn，人名）察觉到觉兄（Jué Xiōng，人名）想要作乱，便用歌声回答佛大（Fó Dà，人名）说：‘您是多么崇高的老师，是天人所尊敬的，门徒清净，被称为沙门（shāmén，佛教出家人的通称），赞叹真理为圣洁，淫乱是畜生的行为。我接受了严格的戒律，不侍奉两个主人，终究不会因为淫欲而苟且偷生，宁愿就此死去。’ 佛大（Fó Dà）用充满情欲和悲伤的曲调、委婉颓废的言辞唱道：‘我早就对你倾心，所以才通过媒人，向你的老师询问你的名字，占卜吉时，我总是忧心忡忡，害怕你不来。既然见到了你的容颜，我的内心就感到愉悦，现在不合欢，难道不是白费心机吗？这个誓言已经确定，美丽的女子你还怀疑什么呢？’ 快见（Kuaì Jiàn）感到惶恐不安，用歌声回答说：‘佛（Fó，对佛陀的尊称）设立了礼仪，尊卑有序，叔父的妻子对于侄子来说如同母亲，女婿的伯父如同父亲，我亲自奉行戒律，每天都在提升自己的德行，真理与圣洁并重，淫乱如同虫鼠一般。唉！伯父啊！怎么能说出这样的话呢？’ 觉兄（Jué Xiōng）内心迷惑，贪恋快见（Kuaì Jiàn）的美色，他的心思更加强烈，无法转移。快见（Kuaì Jiàn）又唱道：‘女子处世，应当远离两件事，不孝顺父母，行为违背佛（Fó）的戒律，天神以及贤者，都会认为这是与众不同的。’ 佛大（Fó Dà）唱道：‘你的容貌，喜悦而明亮，普天下的美女，哪里有像你这样的容颜，我的内心爱慕你，所以才翻山越岭而来。’ 快见（Kuaì Jiàn）心想：‘这个人想要对我做出悖逆狂乱的事情，会招致大难，请让我说说身体中污秽不洁的东西，你就会退却了。’ 快见（Kuaì Jiàn）重复说道：‘您贪恋我的身体，我的身体有什么好的呢？头有九块骨头，合在一起成为头盖骨，里面只有脑髓，面部有七个孔，都流出鼻涕唾沫；用皮肤包裹着骨头，贪恋头颈的人，不过是贪恋皮肤和肌肉的包裹，身体有毛发爪子牙齿皮肤肌肉血液脑髓骨头肉；腹中有心脾肾肠胃脂肪肺脏，以及脓血寒热，脚和胫骨相连，胫骨和'

English version: 'If flowers are not picked when they are in season, they are like being discarded. Even if they flourish later and their colors are vibrant, to rejoice with me, originally a close relationship, only coming to the west to stay once a year, who will cherish you then?' Kuaì Jiàn (name) perceived that Jué Xiōng (name) intended to cause trouble, so she replied to Fó Dà (name) with a song: 'You are such a noble teacher, respected by gods and humans, your disciples are pure, called shāmén (Buddhist monks), praising truth as sacred, and lust as the behavior of animals. I have received strict precepts, and will not serve two masters, I will never live shamelessly because of lust, I would rather die.' Fó Dà sang with a passionate and sorrowful tune, and with euphemistic and decadent words: 'I have long been in love with you, so I asked your teacher for your name through a matchmaker, and divined an auspicious time. I was always worried and afraid that you would not come. Now that I have seen your face, my heart feels joyful. If we do not unite in joy now, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? This oath has been made, what doubts do you still have, beautiful woman?' Kuaì Jiàn felt uneasy and replied with a song: 'The Buddha (Fó, honorific title for the Buddha) established rituals, with order of seniority, the wife of an uncle is like a mother to a nephew, the uncle of a son-in-law is like a father, I personally uphold the precepts, and improve my virtue every day, truth and holiness are equally important, and lust is like insects and rats. Alas! Uncle! How can you say such things?' Jué Xiōng's heart was confused, and he coveted Kuaì Jiàn's beauty, his mind was even stronger, and could not be transferred. Kuaì Jiàn sang again: 'When a woman lives in the world, she should stay away from two things, being unfilial to her parents, and acting against the Buddha's (Fó) precepts, gods and sages will consider this to be different.' Fó Dà sang: 'Your appearance is joyful and bright, among all the beauties in the world, where is there a face like yours, my heart loves you, so I came over the mountains.' Kuaì Jiàn thought to herself: 'This person wants to do something rebellious and crazy to me, which will lead to great disaster, please let me talk about the filth and impurity in the body, and you will retreat.' Kuaì Jiàn repeated: 'You covet my body, what is good about my body? The head has nine bones, which together form the skull, inside there is only brain marrow, the face has seven holes, all of which flow out mucus and saliva; the bones are wrapped in skin, those who covet the head and neck, are only coveting the wrapping of skin and flesh, the body has hair, nails, teeth, skin, muscles, blood, brain marrow, bones, and flesh; the abdomen has the heart, spleen, kidneys, intestines, stomach, fat, lungs, as well as pus, blood, cold and heat, the feet are connected to the tibia, and the tibia is connected to' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

髀连，髀与尻连，尻与腰连，腰与脊连，脊与胁连，胁与颈连，颈与髑髅连，臂与肘连，肘与肩连。我如画瓶，中盈𡱁𡱤，身中不净，可恶如此，何可贪乎！凡人所喜，有说其恶，心即贱之。” 佛大自念：“女念其婿，何肯听我？我杀弟者，尔乃随耳。”佛大瞋恚，即行募求数为贼者，见轻薄人，在于酒家，前与语曰：“宁知我家所畜六藉奴子，逃作沙门，今在山中。” 贼曰：“识之。” 佛大即出金银与之，令杀奴子：“疾取其头及身上衣，所持法杖，足下履屣，皆以相还，吾复重赐卿等金银。” 贼大喜曰：“从吾取足。”即去入山。到其弟所呼曰：“沙门！汝疾出来。” 其弟出曰：“诸君何求？吾有水火麨蜜可食。” 夜时已半，贼曰：“不求水火麨蜜，不问卿时也，欲得汝头持去之耳。” 其弟闻之，即大惶怖，涕泣而曰：“吾非长者诸侯子也，舍俗为道，与世无争，学道日浅，未获沟港、频来、不还、应真六通，杀吾何益？” 贼曰：“来为汝首故，空复云云，求哀何益？” 其弟自念：“此贼独闻我富家，谓我持宝来在此也。”语其贼曰：“欲得宝者，吾兄在家，字曰佛大，吾与书令惠卿宝，在所欲得，从卿志愿。” 贼曰：“子 兄令我来杀子。” 其弟曰：“即吾今死矣，由斯妇也。师前诫我，人与淫居，如持炬火逆风而行，舍之不早，火将烧手。如蜜涂刀，如鹰追乌，狗得枯骨，树之华果，色为身害，深如师诫。” 涕泣从贼：“乞一岁活，令吾得道。吾常在此，相杀不晚。” 贼曰：“今欲得子头去，何云一岁？山居道人，多得道者，恐子轻举行神足去，勿复多云，俘取头去。” 其弟重曰：“愿莫即杀，先断我一髀置吾前也。”其贼因前，先断一髀，置于其前，弟遭此痛，痛不可言，天来下至道人所曰：“慎莫恐怖，牢持汝心；汝前世时，入畜生中，人所屠割，称卖汝肉，非一世矣，地狱饿鬼，汝皆更之，苦痛以来，非适今也。” 僧大语天：“一哀语我师令知，吾因师示吾道，死生何在？” 天即为行语其师曰：“卿贤弟子，人欲杀之，涕泣求哀，欲得见师。” 师飞行到弟子所，为说经曰：“天地须弥，尚有灭坏，海有消竭，七日有坏。天下有风，其名惟岚，惟岚一起，山山相搏，斯风有灭，况汝小躯，何等比数，但当念佛。佛常言无常，盛必有衰，合会有离，荣位难保，身亦如之。” 僧大便得沟港道，复断一髀，重念师戒，复得频来道；贼断左手，复念师戒，得不还道； 现代汉语译本： ‘我哥哥让我来杀你的儿子。’ 他的弟弟说：‘我今天就要死了，都是因为这个女人。师父之前告诫我，人与淫荡之人同居，就像拿着火把逆风而行，不早点舍弃，火就会烧手。又像蜜涂在刀上，像老鹰追逐乌鸦，狗得到枯骨，树上的花果，美色是身体的祸害，这些道理师父都深深告诫过我。’ 他哭着哀求强盗：‘请让我活一年，让我能够得道。我经常在这里，互相残杀不晚。’ 强盗说：‘现在想要拿你儿子的头回去，还说什么一年？山里的道人，很多都得道了，恐怕你轻易地行走，用神足通离开了，不要再多说了，抓了你的头就走。’ 他的弟弟再次恳求说：‘希望不要立刻杀我，先砍断我一条大腿放在我面前。’强盗于是上前，先砍断他一条大腿，放在他的面前，他的弟弟遭受这样的痛苦，痛苦得无法形容，天人从天而降到道人那里说：‘不要害怕，牢牢守住你的心；你前世的时候，进入畜生道中，被人屠宰割肉，称重贩卖，不是一世了，地狱饿鬼道，你都经历过，痛苦以来，不是仅仅今天而已。’ 僧人高声对天人说：‘请哀怜地告诉我的师父，让他知道，我因为师父指示我道路，死生又在哪里？’ 天人立即为他去告诉他的师父说：‘您的贤良弟子，有人想要杀他，哭泣哀求，想要见您。’ 师父飞行来到弟子那里，为他说经：‘天地须弥山，尚且有灭坏的时候，大海有干涸的时候，七日之后有坏灭。天下有一种风，它的名字叫惟岚，惟岚一起，山山互相撞击，这种风也有灭的时候，何况你这小小的躯体，算得了什么，但应当念佛。佛经常说无常，兴盛必定有衰败，聚合必定有离别，荣华富贵难以保持，身体也是这样。’ 僧人立刻得到了沟港道，又被砍断一条大腿，再次忆念师父的教诲，又得到了频来道；强盗砍断了他的左手，再次忆念师父的教诲，得到了不还道；
