不能觉悟,  故于幻境,  贪爱染着。  汝诸长者!  当知己身,  假因缘成,  无有坚固,  但由业力,  造作招集,  生死轮回,  受诸异报,  循环远劫,  无解脱时。  智者观之,  深心厌舍,  凡夫愚昧,  不念无常,  着我着人,  专自逸乐,  不亲善友,  自构业缘。  身坏命终,  当堕地狱,  轮转三界,  受诸苦恼,  大火逼身,  逃窜无地。  诸佛大悲,  哀愍世间,  自无信心,  亦难救护。  智者自知,  色身虚幻,  无有真实,  但由业因,  之所招集,  根尘大种,  和合积聚,  假名为身,  如沫如泡,  毕竟无体,  脓血败坏,  何所爱着?  是故当知,  于此聚中,  作不净观,  深生厌离;  勤修圣法,  趣不坏身,  远离众恶,  近善知识,  信最上乘,  修菩提行,  广修福慧,  生佛国中,  身心安乐,  清净无畏。  以微妙衣,  及上饮食,  床榻卧具,  花鬘璎珞,  无价宝香,  种种资具,  充足无乏,  以清净心,  欢喜供养。  惭愧胜解,  希除罪业,  增长福智。  如是之人,  百千劫中,  于无上 现代汉语译本 不能觉悟,所以对于虚幻的境界,贪恋爱着。 你们这些长者!应当知道自己的身体,是虚假的因缘和合而成, 没有坚固不变的自性,只是由于业力的作用,造作招感聚集, 在生死轮回中,承受各种不同的果报,循环经历漫长的劫数, 没有解脱的时候。有智慧的人观察这些,内心深处厌恶舍弃, 凡夫愚昧无知,不念及世事无常,执着于我相和人相, 只顾自己安逸享乐,不亲近善友,自己构成恶业的因缘。 身坏命终之后,应当堕入地狱,在三界中轮转, 承受各种苦恼,被大火逼迫身体,逃窜无处可去。 诸佛以大慈悲心,哀怜世间众生,如果自己没有信心, 也很难得到救护。有智慧的人自己明白,这个色身是虚幻的, 没有真实的自性,只是由于业力的原因,所招感聚集而成, 由地、水、火、风四大元素和六根六尘和合积聚,假名为身体, 如同水沫和气泡,毕竟没有实体,充满脓血最终败坏, 有什么值得贪爱执着的呢?因此应当知道,对于这个身体的聚集, 作不净观,深深地生起厌离之心;勤奋修习圣法, 趋向不坏的法身,远离各种恶行,亲近善知识(指引正道的人), 信奉最上乘佛法,修习菩萨的利他行为,广泛修习福德和智慧, 往生到诸佛的清净国土中,身心安乐,清净没有畏惧。 用微妙的衣服,以及上等的饮食,床榻卧具, 花鬘璎珞(用鲜花和珠宝串成的装饰品),无价的宝香,种种资生用具, 充足没有缺乏,以清净的心,欢喜地供养。 以惭愧心和殊胜的理解,希望消除罪业,增长福德和智慧。 像这样的人,在百千劫中,对于无上

English version Unable to awaken, they are therefore attached to and crave illusory realms. You elders! You should know that your own body is formed by false causes and conditions, Without any solid nature, it is merely created and gathered by the force of karma, Reincarnating in the cycle of birth and death, receiving various different retributions, cycling through distant kalpas (eons), Without a time of liberation. The wise observe this and deeply renounce it in their hearts, Ordinary people are ignorant and do not think of impermanence, clinging to the self and others, Only indulging in their own pleasure, not associating with good friends, creating the causes for bad karma themselves. When the body breaks and life ends, they should fall into hell, revolving in the Three Realms, Suffering all kinds of afflictions, with great fire pressing upon their bodies, fleeing without a place to escape. All Buddhas have great compassion, pitying the world, but if one has no faith oneself, It is difficult to be saved. The wise know for themselves that this physical body is illusory, Without any true nature, it is only gathered due to karmic causes, The great elements (earth, water, fire, wind) and the six sense organs and their objects combine and accumulate, falsely named a body, Like foam and bubbles, ultimately without substance, full of pus and blood, decaying, What is there to love and cling to? Therefore, you should know that regarding this aggregation, Practice the contemplation of impurity, deeply generating a sense of revulsion; diligently cultivate the holy Dharma, Move towards the indestructible Dharma body, stay away from all evil deeds, get close to good spiritual advisors (those who guide you on the right path), Believe in the supreme vehicle (Mahayana Buddhism), cultivate the Bodhisattva's altruistic practices, broadly cultivate merit and wisdom, Be reborn in the pure lands of the Buddhas, with body and mind at peace, pure and without fear. Use subtle clothing, as well as superior food and drink, beds and bedding, Floral garlands and necklaces (decorations made of flowers and jewels), priceless precious incense, all kinds of necessities, Sufficient and without lack, with a pure heart, joyfully make offerings. With shame and superior understanding, hoping to eliminate sins and increase merit and wisdom. Such a person, in hundreds of thousands of kalpas (eons), regarding the unsurpassed

乘,  发生信解,  渐以觉悟,  实性真空,  本来寂静,  如海湛然,  无有增减,  虽遇风缘,  水成波浪,  即波为水,  动静一源。  如是了知,  住佛境界,  不生恶趣,  渐息轮回,  百千俱胝,  那庾多劫,  明了心地,  贪瞋痴慢,  烦恼业因,  而不现行,  杂类苦果,  自然不受,  色身坚固,  经无量时,  欢喜快乐。  心无邪念,  亦无妄想,  于颠倒境,  常生思惟,  善说法要,  利益众生,  自无病行,  令他亦无。  适悦调顺,  安隐快乐,  深入禅定,  离诸苦缚,  常以善行,  守护众生。  不作恶缘,  亲近智者,  称扬如来,  最胜妙法,  恭敬赞叹,  踊跃奉行。  观诸世间,  有为事相,  皆如幻梦,  无一真实,  了知饮食,  色力寿命,  烦恼苦本。  愚夫无知,  耽染爱着,  无一刹那,  暂时间断,  味诸饮食,  增长过失,  善友教诲,  心不信受。  遇恶知识,  密近随逐,  深入愚痴,  不能觉悟,  于诸尘境,  妄想执着,  昼夜无时,  染诸娱乐。  智者观之,  深生厌舍,  又诸世间, 现代汉语译本: 逐渐生起信心和理解,逐渐通过觉悟,认识到实性的真空状态。 它本来就是寂静的,如同平静的深海,没有增减变化。 即使遇到风的因缘,水面形成波浪,但波浪仍然是水,动和静本是同一来源。 如果能够这样了解,就能安住于佛的境界,不会堕入恶趣,逐渐止息轮回。 经历百千俱胝(俱胝:古代印度计数单位,相当于千万),那庾多劫(那庾多:极大的数字单位)的时间,明了心地,贪婪、嗔恨、愚痴、傲慢这些烦恼的业因,就不会再显现出来,各种各样的痛苦果报,自然也不会承受,色身变得坚固,经过无量的时间,充满欢喜和快乐。 心中没有邪念,也没有妄想,对于颠倒的境界,常常生起正确的思惟,善于宣说佛法要义,利益众生,自己没有疾病,也令他人没有疾病。 身心适悦调顺,安稳快乐,深入禅定,脱离各种痛苦的束缚,常常以善良的行为,守护众生。 不造作恶的因缘,亲近有智慧的人,称扬如来最殊胜微妙的佛法,恭敬赞叹,欢喜踊跃地奉行。 观察世间一切有为的事相,都如同幻象和梦境,没有一样是真实的,了解饮食、美色、力量、寿命,都是烦恼痛苦的根本。 愚蠢的人没有智慧,沉溺于贪恋和执着,没有一刹那,哪怕是短暂的时间可以间断,贪图各种饮食,增长自己的过失,即使有善知识教诲,心里也不相信接受。 遇到恶知识,就亲近并跟随他们,深入愚痴,不能觉悟,对于各种尘世的境界,妄想执着,日日夜夜不停歇,沉溺于各种娱乐。 有智慧的人观察到这些,内心深处产生厌恶和舍弃之心,而且世间的一切,

English version: Gradually arising faith and understanding, gradually through awakening, realizing the emptiness of true nature. It is originally tranquil, like a calm deep sea, without increase or decrease. Even if encountering the condition of wind, the water forms waves, but the waves are still water, movement and stillness are from the same source. If one can understand in this way, one can abide in the realm of the Buddha, will not fall into evil realms, and gradually cease the cycle of reincarnation. Experiencing hundreds of thousands of kotis (koti: an ancient Indian unit of counting, equivalent to ten million), nayuta kalpas (nayuta: an extremely large numerical unit) of time, understanding the mind-ground, the karmic causes of greed, hatred, delusion, and arrogance will no longer manifest, and various kinds of painful consequences will naturally not be endured, the physical body becomes firm, and after immeasurable time, filled with joy and happiness. The mind has no evil thoughts, nor delusions, and towards inverted states, constantly generates correct contemplation, is skilled at expounding the essential meaning of the Dharma, benefiting sentient beings, oneself has no illness, and also causes others to have no illness. Body and mind are comfortable and harmonious, peaceful and happy, deeply entering into samadhi, liberated from all bonds of suffering, constantly protecting sentient beings with virtuous actions. Not creating evil conditions, associating with the wise, praising the most supreme and wonderful Dharma of the Tathagata (如来:Tathagata, meaning 'the Thus-Come One'), respectfully praising and extolling, joyfully and vigorously practicing. Observing all conditioned phenomena in the world, they are all like illusions and dreams, none of them are real, understanding that food, beauty, strength, and lifespan are all the root of affliction and suffering. Foolish people have no wisdom, indulging in craving and attachment, without a single moment, not even a brief moment of interruption, indulging in various foods, increasing their faults, even if there are wise friends who teach, their hearts do not believe and accept. Encountering evil teachers, they draw near and follow them, deeply entering into ignorance, unable to awaken, towards all worldly realms, they have delusional thoughts and attachments, day and night without ceasing, indulging in various pleasures. Wise people observe these things, and from the depths of their hearts, generate aversion and renunciation, and moreover, all things in the world,

色相幻惑,  毕竟衰谢,  妻子男女,  眷属因缘,  如行路人,  暂时而会,  因缘报尽,  恩爱别离,  难以刹那,  相恋而住。  汝诸长者!  当知幻身,  譬如画师,  绘众色相,  好丑虽成,  毕竟当坏。  又如冬月,  积水为冰,  坚厚暂时,  终镕成水。  所以者何?  色相虚幻,  体性非实。  而愚痴人,  随境生贪,  染着爱乐,  心既颠倒,  造不善因,  沦堕三涂,  受种种苦,  经于长劫,  无有出期;  设生人天,  耽诸快乐,  由此幻身,  造作恶业,  无有穷尽。  如是痴人,  常为结使,  冤家魔娆,  妻子男女,  父母眷属,  系缚在心,  未尝舍离,  昼夜之间,  为彼缠缚,  妄认为乐,  实是苦因,  恣任三毒,  憎长憍慢。  如是之人,  违背善缘,  不生智慧,  造作无边,  诸不律仪。  于诸眷属,  父母妻子,  珍宝饮食,  生苦法中,  心无厌足,  不思出离,  耽染爱着,  多求财宝,  积集库藏;  见诸贫穷,  饥饿众生,  无怜愍心,  拯济困厄,  不行正道,  邪念增强,  智人教示,  不能 现代汉语译本 色相是虚幻迷惑人的, 终究会衰败凋谢。 妻子儿女, 亲属眷恋的缘分, 就像路上的行人, 短暂地相聚, 因缘果报完结, 恩爱也会别离, 难以片刻, 长久地相爱相守。 你们这些长者! 应当明白这幻化的身体, 就像画师, 描绘各种色彩的形象, 无论美丑如何形成, 最终都会坏灭。 又像寒冷的冬天, 积水凝结成冰, 坚硬厚实只是暂时的, 最终会融化成水。 这是什么原因呢? 因为色相是虚幻的, 其本体性质并非真实。 而愚痴的人, 随着外境产生贪恋, 染着于爱欲和快乐, 心已经颠倒错乱, 造作不善的因, 沉沦堕落到地狱、饿鬼、畜生三恶道, 遭受种种痛苦, 经历漫长的劫数, 没有脱离的期限; 即使转生到人道或天道, 沉溺于各种快乐, 凭借这虚幻的身体, 造作恶业, 没有穷尽的时候。 像这样的愚痴之人, 常常被烦恼所束缚, 被冤家和魔所扰乱, 妻子儿女, 父母亲属, 都系缚在心中, 未曾舍弃离开, 日日夜夜之间, 被他们缠绕束缚, 错误地认为这是快乐, 实际上是痛苦的根源, 放纵贪婪、嗔恨、愚痴这三种毒素, 增长傲慢自大。 像这样的人, 违背善良的因缘, 不生起智慧, 造作无边无际的, 各种不合乎戒律的行为。 对于各种亲属, 父母妻子, 珍宝饮食, 在充满痛苦的法中, 内心没有厌倦满足, 不思考如何出离, 沉溺于贪染和爱着, 大量地追求财宝, 积聚收藏在仓库里; 看到那些贫穷, 饥饿的众生, 没有怜悯之心, 不拯救救济他们的困境, 不奉行正道, 邪恶的念头日益增强, 有智慧的人教导开示, 也不能听从。

English version Appearances and forms are illusory and deluding, Ultimately, they will decay and decline. Wives and children, The karmic connections of relatives and dependents, Are like travelers on a road, Meeting temporarily, When the karmic retribution is exhausted, Love and affection will lead to separation, Difficult to remain for even a moment, Living together in love for long. You elders! Should know that this illusory body, Is like a painter, Depicting various colored images, Whether beautiful or ugly, once formed, Will eventually be destroyed. It is also like in the winter months, Accumulated water turns into ice, Its firmness and thickness are only temporary, Eventually, it will melt into water. What is the reason for this? Because appearances and forms are illusory, Their inherent nature is not real. But foolish people, Generate greed according to external circumstances, Becoming attached to desire and pleasure, Their minds are already inverted and confused, Creating unwholesome causes, Sinking and falling into the three evil realms (地狱, 饿鬼, 畜生 - hell, hungry ghost, animal), Suffering all kinds of pain, Experiencing long kalpas (劫 - eons), Without a time of escape; Even if reborn in the human or heavenly realms, Indulging in various pleasures, Relying on this illusory body, Creating evil karma, Without end. Such foolish people, Are often bound by afflictions, Disturbed by enemies and demons, Wives and children, Parents and relatives, Are all bound in the heart, Never abandoning or leaving, Day and night, Being entangled and bound by them, Mistakenly thinking this is happiness, In reality, it is the root of suffering, Indulging in the three poisons (贪婪, 嗔恨, 愚痴 - greed, hatred, ignorance), Increasing arrogance and pride. Such people, Go against good conditions, Do not generate wisdom, Create boundless, Various unwholesome behaviors. Regarding various relatives, Parents and wives, Precious treasures and food, In the Dharma (法) of suffering, The mind is never satisfied, Not thinking about how to escape, Indulging in attachment and love, Seeking wealth in large quantities, Accumulating and storing it in warehouses; Seeing those who are poor, Hungry sentient beings, Without a compassionate heart, Not rescuing and relieving their plight, Not practicing the right path, Evil thoughts are increasingly strengthened, The wise teach and instruct, But they cannot listen.
