一切世间所有大毒,如大海水佛能消灭,况以小毒杂置食中而能害佛?设使毒药高如雪山,佛眼视之自然消灭,况此毒食能有所害? “愿父莫如小人造诸恶业,作远佛因缘,一切有福德者方得亲近。愿父莫于佛所而生恶逆瞋害之心,一切众生心性清净;莫起烦恼染浊污心;莫与外道共为一手,勿以小芥比须弥山,牛迹之水同于大海;莫以蜘蛛小网欲遍虚空;莫以一尘之力欲动须弥;莫以斫迦罗山内一毛孔;莫以一沙欲令充满三千世界。何以故?佛智无量无障碍故,出过一切世间碍法故,佛具十力余力不能坏故,如来那罗延力,一切众生作恶不能加害故。 “如来坚固不可沮坏,如来常住住真实际,如来无取一切法中离于取着,如来于三世中无所依止,如来寂灭无有处所,如来最寂离诸恼热,如来寂灭于一切众得最第一,如来无比过诸譬喻,如来三业随智慧行,如来清净离尘法行,如来勇健破坏一切诸魔外道,如来辩才具无尽力,如来善调能令未调得调伏故;如来善寂能令未寂得寂灭故;如来智水能洒众生诸烦恼故;能令多烦恼者无烦恼故。 “如来于一切众生中尊,得一切智冠故;如来大云能雨一切,法雨不可尽故;如来能满足一切众生心行故;如来得不诳智,能知众生心行,如应说法故;如来 现代汉语译本: 世间所有的大毒,就像大海的水一样,佛都能消除,更何况是掺杂在食物中的小毒,又怎么能伤害佛呢? 即使毒药堆积得像雪山一样高,佛用眼睛看它,它也会自然消灭,更何况是这种毒食,又怎么能造成伤害呢? ‘我希望父亲不要像小人一样造作各种恶业,制造远离佛的因缘,只有一切有福德的人才能亲近佛。希望父亲不要对佛产生邪恶、违逆、嗔恨、伤害之心,一切众生的心性本来都是清净的;不要生起烦恼,染污清净的心;不要与外道同流合污,不要用小小的芥子与须弥山(Sumeru,佛教宇宙观中的山)相比,不要用牛蹄印中的水与大海相比;不要用蜘蛛的小网想要覆盖整个虚空;不要用一粒尘土的力量想要撼动须弥山;不要用斫迦罗山(Chakravāla,铁围山)内的一根毛孔;不要用一粒沙子想要充满三千大千世界。为什么呢?因为佛的智慧是无量无边、没有障碍的,超越了一切世间的障碍之法,佛具有十种力量,其他力量无法摧毁,如来具有那罗延力(Nārāyaṇa,金刚力士),一切众生作恶都不能加害于他。 ‘如来坚固不可摧毁,如来常住于真实际,如来没有执取,在一切法中远离执取,如来在过去、现在、未来三世中没有依止,如来寂灭,没有固定的处所,如来最为寂静,远离各种烦恼和热恼,如来寂灭,在一切众生中得到最第一的境界,如来无比殊胜,超越一切比喻,如来的身、口、意三业都随顺智慧而行,如来清净,远离尘世的法行,如来勇猛强健,能摧毁一切魔和外道,如来的辩才具有无尽的力量,如来善于调伏,能使未被调伏的众生得到调伏;如来善于寂静,能使未得寂静的众生得到寂灭;如来的智慧之水能洒净众生的一切烦恼;能使多烦恼的人没有烦恼。 ‘如来在一切众生中最为尊贵,因为得到了遍知一切的智慧之冠;如来像大云一样,能普降一切法雨,永无止尽;如来能满足一切众生的心愿和行为;如来得到了不虚妄的智慧,能了解众生的心念和行为,并根据情况说法;如来……’

English version: All the great poisons in the world, the Buddha can eliminate like the water of the great ocean. How much less can a small amount of poison mixed in food harm the Buddha? Even if the poison were as high as a snow mountain, the Buddha could eliminate it naturally with a glance of his eye. How much less could this poisoned food cause any harm? ‘May my father not, like petty people, create various evil karmas, creating conditions to distance himself from the Buddha. Only those with merit can approach the Buddha. May my father not harbor evil, rebellious, angry, or harmful thoughts towards the Buddha. The nature of all beings is originally pure. Do not generate afflictions, defiling the pure mind. Do not join hands with external paths. Do not compare a small mustard seed to Mount Sumeru (Sumeru, the mountain in Buddhist cosmology), or the water in a cow's footprint to the great ocean. Do not try to cover the entire void with a spider's small web. Do not try to move Mount Sumeru with the strength of a single dust mote. Do not use a single pore within Chakravāla Mountain (Chakravāla, the Iron Ring Mountains). Do not try to fill the three thousand great thousand worlds with a single grain of sand. Why? Because the Buddha's wisdom is immeasurable and without obstruction, surpassing all worldly obstructive dharmas. The Buddha possesses the ten powers, which other powers cannot destroy. The Tathagata (Tathāgata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha) possesses Nārāyaṇa power (Nārāyaṇa, a Vajra warrior), and no evil actions of all beings can harm him.’ ‘The Tathagata is firm and indestructible. The Tathagata constantly abides in true reality. The Tathagata has no grasping, being detached from grasping in all dharmas. The Tathagata has no reliance in the three times (past, present, future). The Tathagata is tranquil and has no fixed place. The Tathagata is the most tranquil, free from all afflictions and heat. The Tathagata is tranquil and attains the foremost state among all beings. The Tathagata is incomparable, surpassing all metaphors. The Tathagata's three karmas (body, speech, and mind) follow wisdom. The Tathagata is pure, practicing dharma free from worldly defilements. The Tathagata is courageous and strong, destroying all demons and external paths. The Tathagata's eloquence possesses inexhaustible power. The Tathagata is skilled in taming, able to tame those who are not yet tamed. The Tathagata is skilled in tranquility, able to bring tranquility to those who have not yet attained it. The Tathagata's wisdom-water can sprinkle away all the afflictions of beings, able to make those with many afflictions free from afflictions.’ ‘The Tathagata is the most honored among all beings, having attained the crown of omniscient wisdom. The Tathagata is like a great cloud, able to rain down all the Dharma rain inexhaustibly. The Tathagata is able to fulfill the minds and actions of all beings. The Tathagata has attained non-deceptive wisdom, able to know the minds and actions of beings, and speak the Dharma accordingly. The Tathagata...’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

能开一切众生过去善根行故;如来能灭一切众生烦恼流故;见如来者观无厌足故。 “佛于一切菩萨中无等等故;如来能尽一切烦恼故;如来能断一切烦恼瀑河故;如来于一切众生大悲满足能覆护故,众生见者皆得安隐不空故;如来善逝犹师子王,于诸世间无所畏故;如来于一切世间最上,三世众生不能染故;一切世间势力自在不能坏故;如来上上穷尽一切法界法故;如来寂灭离戏论故;如来一切知一切见,能知过去未来现在法故。未得菩提,先已预知成菩提时,王舍城中有大长者名为德护,以浊恶心欲作火坑毒食杀害如来,亦知因此恶心因缘,能得最上清净胜信、舍离浊心。如来于作恶作善众生,皆能教化,令作无上菩提因缘。 “愿父放舍一切恶念毒害罪心。何以故?譬如有人供养大地,复有一人烧斫大地,于此二人等与利益无所分别。佛亦如是,于供养者、于打骂者,以本愿故皆悉为作得道因缘。是故如来,为一切众生种善根本,于一切福田最上第一,若有供养佛者,于三界中必定能出,佛是一切众生大善知识。 “父今于佛生恶心者,为失自身、为烧自身,趣向地狱受诸苦恼。然如来身不可毁坏,一切外道及诸众生亦不能坏。何以故?如来已离三毒猛火,于无明中已得解脱,得三世智能知 现代汉语译本:能开启一切众生过去所种的善根,使之增长;如来能够灭除一切众生的烦恼之流;见到如来,心生敬仰,永不厌足。 如来在一切菩萨中,是无与伦比的;如来能够穷尽一切烦恼;如来能够断除一切烦恼如瀑布般的河流;如来对于一切众生,大悲心圆满,能够覆盖保护他们,众生见到如来,都能得到安稳,不会徒劳无功;如来善逝(Sugata),犹如狮子王,在世间中无所畏惧;如来在一切世间最为至上,过去、现在、未来三世的众生都不能够污染他;一切世间的势力和自在都不能够破坏他;如来至高无上,穷尽了一切法界之法;如来寂静灭除一切戏论;如来一切知、一切见,能够知晓过去、未来、现在的法。 在尚未证得菩提之前,就已经预先知道,在成就菩提的时候,王舍城中有一位大长者名为德护(Dehura,人名),以污浊邪恶的心,想要用火坑和毒食来杀害如来,也知道因为这个恶心的因缘,能够得到最上清净的殊胜信心,舍离污浊的心。如来对于作恶和作善的众生,都能够教化,使他们种下无上菩提的因缘。 愿父亲放下一切恶念、毒害和罪恶之心。为什么呢?譬如有人供养大地,又有人焚烧砍伐大地,对于这两种人,大地给予的利益是相同的,没有分别。佛也是这样,对于供养者和打骂者,因为本愿的缘故,都为他们种下得道的因缘。因此,如来为一切众生种下善良的根本,在一切福田中最为至上第一,如果有人供养佛,必定能够在三界中解脱出来,佛是一切众生的大善知识。 父亲现在对佛生起恶心,这是在失去自身,焚烧自身,趋向地狱,遭受各种苦恼。然而如来的身体是不可毁坏的,一切外道以及其他众生也不能够毁坏。为什么呢?如来已经远离贪嗔痴三毒的猛火,在无明中已经得到解脱,得到三世的智慧,能够知晓一切。

English version: [The Tathagata] is able to open up the past good roots and practices of all sentient beings; the Tathagata is able to extinguish the streams of afflictions of all sentient beings; seeing the Tathagata, one's contemplation is never satisfied. The Tathagata is unequaled among all Bodhisattvas; the Tathagata is able to exhaust all afflictions; the Tathagata is able to cut off the river of afflictions like a waterfall; the Tathagata, with great compassion, is complete for all sentient beings, able to cover and protect them, so that those who see the Tathagata all attain peace and security and are not in vain; the Tathagata, the Well-Gone One (Sugata), is like a lion king, fearless in all the worlds; the Tathagata is the highest in all the worlds, and cannot be defiled by sentient beings of the three times; the power and freedom of all the worlds cannot destroy him; the Tathagata, supremely, exhausts all the dharmas of the Dharma Realm; the Tathagata is in stillness and extinguishes all discursive fabrications; the Tathagata knows all and sees all, able to know the dharmas of the past, future, and present. Before attaining Bodhi, [the Tathagata] already knew in advance that when he attained Bodhi, there would be a great elder in Rajagrha (Wangshecheng) named Dehura (Dehura, a name), who, with a turbid and evil mind, would try to kill the Tathagata with a fire pit and poisoned food, and also knew that because of this evil mind, he would be able to obtain the supreme pure and excellent faith, and abandon the turbid mind. The Tathagata is able to teach and transform both those who do evil and those who do good, causing them to plant the causes and conditions for unsurpassed Bodhi. May father relinquish all evil thoughts, poisonous harm, and sinful mind. Why? For example, if someone makes offerings to the earth, and another burns and chops the earth, the benefits given by the earth to these two people are equal, without distinction. The Buddha is also like this, for those who make offerings and those who scold and beat, because of his original vows, he creates the causes and conditions for them to attain the Way. Therefore, the Tathagata plants the roots of goodness for all sentient beings, and is the supreme and foremost among all fields of merit. If someone makes offerings to the Buddha, he will surely be able to emerge from the three realms. The Buddha is the great good advisor for all sentient beings. Father, your present evil thoughts towards the Buddha are for losing yourself, burning yourself, heading towards hell, and suffering all kinds of afflictions. However, the body of the Tathagata cannot be destroyed, and neither can it be destroyed by all heretics and other sentient beings. Why? The Tathagata has already departed from the fierce fire of the three poisons (greed, hatred, and delusion), has already obtained liberation from ignorance, and has obtained the wisdom of the three times, able to know all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

众生过去现在,离一切罪得一切福,成就一切诸善根本。是故父应深生信乐,莫于如来起怨家想,莫受外道愚痴所说远离于佛,莫于佛所生恶逆心,莫生怨心,莫于如来善知识所生恶害心,堕落三涂后当悔恨。” 尔时德护长者告月光言:“若如汝所说佛有无量功德,是一切智知他心者,我以恶心作火坑毒食,何故不知而受我请?” 尔时,月光白其父言:“佛实一切知、实一切见,悉见悉知父所有恶心,亦知因此恶心而得调伏。佛智慧最大智慧自在觉知具足,为欲除灭父恶心故,今受父请非为食故。父当念佛大庄严,念佛大神通,佛大慈悲为欲令父恶心浊心得解脱故而来至此;欲令恶攀缘者作善根故;为欲令身作解脱故;得调伏故;欲令闇心作明心故;欲令黑心作白心故;欲令浊心作净心故;以父信受外道恶浊令大清净故;一切三界苦聚欲除去故。父若不信佛具种种大神变者,明当自知。” 尔时德护长者过此夜已,至明清旦遣使迎佛,告言:“汝如我语,白大沙门:‘供具已办,当知是时。’” 尔时使人出王舍城诣耆阇崛山,到佛所已,白佛言:“世尊!德护长者供食已办,愿佛知时。” 尔时,佛告诸比丘:“着衣持钵,往于德护大长者家受彼请食。” 时诸比丘白佛 现代汉语译本:众生过去和现在,远离一切罪恶,获得一切福报,成就一切诸善的根本。因此,父亲您应当深深地生起信乐之心,不要对如来产生怨恨的想法,不要听信外道愚痴的说法而远离佛陀,不要对佛陀生起邪恶悖逆的心,不要生起怨恨之心,不要对如来的善知识生起恶毒伤害的心,否则堕入地狱、饿鬼、畜生三恶道后,将会后悔莫及。 当时,德护长者问月光说:‘如果像你所说的,佛陀具有无量的功德,是一切智者,能够知晓他人的心念,那我以恶毒的心制作火坑和毒食,佛陀为什么不知道还要接受我的邀请呢?’ 当时,月光对他的父亲说:‘佛陀确实是一切知、一切见,完全知晓父亲您所有的恶心,也知道因此恶心可以得到调伏。佛陀智慧最大,智慧自在,觉知圆满具足,为了消除父亲您的恶心,所以才接受您的邀请,并非为了食物的缘故。父亲您应当忆念佛陀的大庄严,忆念佛陀的大神通,佛陀的大慈悲,为了让父亲您的恶心和污浊的心得到解脱,所以才来到这里;为了让那些恶劣攀缘的人种下善根;为了让身体得到解脱;得到调伏;为了让黑暗的心变成光明的心;为了让黑色的心变成白色的心;为了让污浊的心变成清净的心;因为父亲您信受外道的恶浊之见,所以要让您得到大清净;一切三界的痛苦聚集都想除去。父亲您如果不相信佛陀具有种种大神变,明天自然会知道。’ 当时,德护长者过了这一夜之后,到了第二天清晨,派遣使者去迎接佛陀,告诉使者说:‘你按照我的话,禀告大沙门(伟大的修行者,指佛陀):‘供养的食物已经准备好了,请您知道时间。’ 当时,使者离开王舍城,前往耆阇崛山(Grdhrakuta),到达佛陀所在的地方后,禀告佛陀说:‘世尊!德护长者供养的食物已经准备好了,希望佛陀知道时间。’ 当时,佛陀告诉各位比丘:‘穿好衣服,拿着钵,前往德护大长者家接受他的斋饭。’ 当时,各位比丘禀告佛陀
