English version: They naturally dwelt in the sky, holding a hundred parasols, covering the Buddha, the World Honored One (Buddha-The World Honored One is an honorific title for the Buddha), and the tops of the Bhikkhus (Bhikkhus-Buddhist monks). The first queen of King Manduma (Manduma-Name of a king) held a supreme and wonderful jeweled fan adorned with pearls, gold, and various treasures, attending to the Buddha's side, while the other palace women also held jeweled fans attending to the Bhikkhus' sides. At that time, King Manduma stepped forward and bowed at the Buddha's feet. After bowing, he personally offered the World Honored One the finest and most delicious food, and then each of them offered the various Bhikkhus. ‘At that time, the Accumulated Wealthy Elder (Accumulated Wealthy Elder-Name of a person) knew that the Buddha had also accepted King Manduma's invitation, so he immediately sent someone secretly to the palace to observe how the arrangements, decorations, food, and other matters were being handled. When that person arrived there, he saw that everything was exceptionally wonderful, and he became attached and unwilling to return. In this way, he sent people repeatedly, but they also did not return. Finally, the elder went to the palace himself. After arriving at the palace, he saw in detail the magnificent decorations and offerings, and he thought to himself: ‘Now, in the palace, such arrangements, I wonder who could accomplish this? Why is it that no one in my house can do these things?’ Thinking in this way, he returned to his residence and said to the gatekeeper: ‘You may place all kinds of gold and jewels at the door. Whoever comes seeking them, give them whatever they want, and do not bring them inside. I do not want to see anyone.’ At that time, after the Accumulated Wealthy Elder thought in this way, he entered his room, quietly stayed in one place, propped his cheek with his hand, and was unhappy. ‘At that time, Śakra, the Lord of the Devas (Śakra-King of the gods), saw this matter with his pure heavenly eye, and then he thought: ‘Now, in this world, the Accumulated Wealthy Elder is making offerings to the Buddha Vipaśyin (Vipaśyin-One of the past seven Buddhas), and he is the foremost benefactor. His mind is pure and faithful, and I should transform my body to help him build.’ Thinking in this way, he concealed the form of Śakra, the Lord of the Devas, and manifested the appearance of a Brahmin (Brahmin-Hindu priestly caste), and went to the place of the Accumulated Wealthy Elder. After arriving at his residence, he said to the gatekeeper: ‘You may go in and tell the elder that “There is a Brahmin of the Kauśika (Kauśika-Name of Śakra's lineage) clan, now outside the gate, who wishes to see the elder.”’ The gatekeeper said: ‘The elder has said: “Whoever comes, should not be brought inside. If they have any requests, give them whatever they want.” You Brahmin! If you want anything, you should take it yourself. Why do you need to request to see the elder?’ ‘The Brahmin said: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

：‘我于诸物，都无希取，然今但欲求见长者，汝宜为我速入通达。’ “时守门人，即入白言：‘有一憍尸迦族婆罗门，今在门外，欲见长者。’长者告言：‘汝可谓彼婆罗门曰：“若有所求，自当持去，何故须欲求见我耶？”’ “时守门人，即出具告。婆罗门复言：‘我无所求，唯欲与彼长者相见。’时守门人，再白长者。于是长者，许其相见。婆罗门入已，白长者言：‘汝今何故榰颐不悦？有何忧愁？’ “尔时，长者说伽陀曰： “‘我不说忧事， 说亦不能脱， 若令我得脱， 我即为汝说。’ “时婆罗门言：‘汝但具说忧愁所因，我必为汝善解其事。’时，积财长者具说所因已，彼帝释天主即摄婆罗门相，还复本身，谓长者言：‘我是帝释天主，我今当遣毗首羯磨天子，来助于汝，营办胜上饮食供佛。’作是语已，隐复天宫，即敕毗首羯磨天子言：‘汝往积财长者舍，潜助营办供佛之事，不亦善乎！’ “时彼天子奉帝释命，潜助长者，乃以神力，即变大城，悉令清净，如天境界；敷设种种上妙珍宝严饰之具，天诸宝座，天妙饮食，皆悉具足；有爱啰嚩努龙王，自然住空持白伞盖，覆于佛顶，余吉祥龙，各持伞盖，覆诸苾刍顶。有天童女，执金宝庄严最上 现代汉语译本：‘我对任何事物都没有贪求，但现在只想求见长者（指积财长者），你应当为我快速进去通报。’ ‘当时，守门人立即进去禀告说：‘有一位憍尸迦（Kaushika）族的婆罗门，现在在门外，想要见长者。’长者告诉他说：‘你可以对那位婆罗门说：“如果他有什么需求，自己拿走就是了，为什么一定要见我呢？”’ ‘当时，守门人出来，如实地告诉了婆罗门。婆罗门又说：‘我没有什么需求，只是想和那位长者见一面。’当时，守门人再次禀告长者。于是，长者允许他相见。婆罗门进去后，问长者说：‘你现在为什么用手托着下巴，不高兴呢？有什么忧愁吗？’ ‘当时，长者用偈语说道：’ ‘‘我不说忧愁的事情，说了也不能摆脱，如果说了能让我摆脱，我就会为你说了。’’ ‘当时，婆罗门说：‘你只管详细地说出忧愁的原因，我一定为你好好解决这件事。’当时，积财长者详细地说了忧愁的原因后，那位帝释天主（Indra，佛教的护法神）立即收起婆罗门的形象，恢复了本来的面目，对长者说：‘我是帝释天主，我现在将派遣毗首羯磨天子（Vishvakarman，工巧之神）来帮助你，筹办殊胜的饮食供养佛陀。’说完这些话后，就隐身回到了天宫，立即命令毗首羯磨天子说：‘你到积财长者的住所去，暗中帮助他筹办供佛的事情，不是很好吗！’ ‘当时，那位天子接受了帝释天的命令，暗中帮助长者，于是用神通力，立即将大城变得清净，如同天上的境界；铺设了各种上妙的珍宝装饰品，天上的各种宝座，天上的美妙饮食，全都准备齐全；有爱啰嚩努龙王（Airavata Naga Raja），自然地住在空中，手持白色的伞盖，覆盖在佛陀的头顶，其余的吉祥龙，各自拿着伞盖，覆盖在各位比丘（bhiksu，出家修行的男子）的头顶。有天上的童女，拿着用金银珠宝装饰的最上等的’

English version: ‘I have no desire for anything, but now I only wish to see the Elder (referring to the wealthy householder), you should quickly go in and inform him for me.’ ‘At that time, the gatekeeper immediately went in and reported: ‘There is a Brahmin of the Kaushika clan outside the gate, who wishes to see the Elder.’ The Elder told him: ‘You can say to that Brahmin: “If he has any needs, he should take them himself, why does he need to see me?”’ ‘At that time, the gatekeeper came out and told the Brahmin everything. The Brahmin said again: ‘I have no needs, I just want to meet that Elder.’ At that time, the gatekeeper reported to the Elder again. Then, the Elder allowed him to meet. After the Brahmin entered, he asked the Elder: ‘Why are you supporting your chin and unhappy? What are you worried about?’ ‘At that time, the Elder spoke in verse:’ ‘‘I do not speak of worries, speaking will not relieve them, if speaking could relieve me, I would tell you.’’ ‘At that time, the Brahmin said: ‘You just need to tell me the cause of your worries in detail, and I will definitely help you solve it.’ At that time, after the wealthy householder had explained the cause of his worries in detail, that Lord Indra (Indra, a protector deity in Buddhism) immediately withdrew the appearance of the Brahmin and restored his original form, saying to the Elder: ‘I am Lord Indra, I will now send Vishvakarman (Vishvakarman, the god of craftsmanship) to help you prepare excellent food to offer to the Buddha.’ After saying these words, he disappeared back to the heavenly palace, and immediately ordered Vishvakarman: ‘Go to the residence of the wealthy householder and secretly help him prepare the offering to the Buddha, wouldn't that be good!’ ‘At that time, that celestial being accepted Indra's command and secretly helped the Elder, and then used his divine power to immediately make the great city clean, like the heavenly realm; he laid out various excellent treasures and decorations, various heavenly thrones, and all kinds of wonderful heavenly food were prepared; there was Airavata Naga Raja (Airavata Naga Raja), naturally dwelling in the sky, holding a white umbrella, covering the Buddha's head, and the other auspicious dragons each held umbrellas, covering the heads of the bhikshus (bhiksu, monks). There were celestial maidens, holding the most excellent ornaments decorated with gold and jewels’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

宝扇侍立佛侧，余诸天女各执宝扇侍苾刍侧。时积财长者，即持种种上味饮食，躬自奉上佛及苾刍。 “时满度摩王，即谓使者言：‘汝可潜诣积财长者舍，观其敷设庄严饮食，其事何若？’使者奉命，即潜诣彼，具见庄严殊异等事，见已忘还；复遣近臣去，亦不还，遣大子去，亦复不还；乃至最后王自诣彼，潜立门侧。 “尔时，毗婆尸佛知王在外，即谓长者言：‘汝先因满度摩王发不善语业，斯为罪咎；其王今在汝舍门外，汝可速出悔谢其过。’长者即出，见其王已，悔过自责，迎王前入。王入舍已，具见种种天妙庄严及饮食等，见已悉忘前事，乃谓长者言：‘汝所供佛，胜上若此，如能日日如是供养佛及苾刍，斯无等比。’ “时积财长者起清净心，前礼佛足，发是愿言：‘愿我以此，如实布施佛及苾刍，所作善根，当生获得大富自在，一切具足。所生之处，得于人中现受天福，不起多贪，具离贪行。愿如今日，得善法利，值佛正法，归佛出家。’发是愿已，毗婆尸佛及苾刍众，即住长者舍，安居三月。” 尔时，释迦牟尼佛告诸苾刍言：“于汝意云何？尔时毗婆尸佛法中，积财长者岂异人乎？今光明苾刍是也。彼时于满度摩王所，出不善语业，由是因故，果报无失，于五百生中，与 宝扇侍立在佛陀身旁，其余的诸位天女各自拿着宝扇侍立在比丘身旁。当时，积财长者（a wealthy householder）亲自拿着各种上等的美味饮食，供奉佛陀和比丘们。 当时，满度摩王（King Manduma）对使者说：‘你可以偷偷地去积财长者的住所，观察他的陈设、庄严和饮食，看看情况如何？’使者接受命令后，就偷偷地去了那里，看到了各种庄严殊胜的景象，看完之后忘记了回来；国王又派近臣去，近臣也没有回来，又派太子去，太子也没有回来；乃至最后国王亲自去了那里，偷偷地站在门边。 这时，毗婆尸佛（Buddha Vipasyin）知道国王在外面，就对长者说：‘你先前因为对满度摩王说了不好的话，这是你的罪过；国王现在在你家门外，你应该赶快出去向他忏悔。’长者就出去，见到国王后，忏悔自责，迎接国王进入。国王进入长者的住所后，看到了各种天界的奇妙庄严和饮食等，看完之后完全忘记了之前的事情，于是对长者说：‘你供养佛陀如此殊胜，如果能每天这样供养佛陀和比丘们，那是无与伦比的。’ 当时，积财长者生起清净心，上前礼拜佛足，发愿说：‘愿我以今天如实布施佛陀和比丘们的善根，将来能够获得大富自在，一切具足。所生之处，能够在人间现世就享受天上的福报，不起贪婪之心，具足远离贪欲的行为。愿我像今天一样，得到善法的利益，值遇佛陀的正法，皈依佛陀出家。’发愿之后，毗婆尸佛和比丘僧众，就住在长者的住所，安居三个月。” 这时，释迦牟尼佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）告诉各位比丘说：‘你们认为如何？当时的毗婆尸佛的教法中，积财长者难道是别人吗？就是现在光明比丘（Bhiksu Guangming）。他当时对满度摩王说了不好的话，由于这个原因，果报不会消失，在五百世中，与

A jeweled fan stood beside the Buddha, and the other heavenly women each held jeweled fans beside the Bhikshus. At that time, the wealthy householder Jicai (Jicai Changzhe, a wealthy householder) personally offered various superior and delicious foods to the Buddha and the Bhikshus. At that time, King Manduma (Man Du Mo Wang, King Manduma) said to his messenger: 'You may secretly go to the residence of the wealthy householder Jicai and observe his arrangements, decorations, and food. What is the situation?' The messenger, receiving the order, secretly went there and saw various extraordinary and magnificent scenes. After seeing them, he forgot to return. The king then sent a close minister, who also did not return. He sent the prince, who also did not return. Finally, the king himself went there and secretly stood by the door. At that time, Vipasyin Buddha (Pi Po Shi Fo, Buddha Vipasyin), knowing that the king was outside, said to the householder: 'You previously spoke unkind words to King Manduma, which is a fault. The king is now outside your door. You should quickly go out and repent for your transgression.' The householder went out, saw the king, repented and blamed himself, and welcomed the king inside. After the king entered the householder's residence, he saw various wonderful heavenly decorations and foods. After seeing them, he completely forgot the previous matter and said to the householder: 'Your offerings to the Buddha are so superior. If you can offer to the Buddha and the Bhikshus in this way every day, it would be unparalleled.' At that time, the wealthy householder Jicai arose with a pure mind, stepped forward to prostrate at the Buddha's feet, and made this vow: 'May I, with the merit of truly offering to the Buddha and the Bhikshus today, obtain great wealth and freedom in the future, with everything complete. Wherever I am born, may I enjoy heavenly blessings in the human realm in this very life, without arising greed, and with conduct free from greed. May I, like today, obtain the benefit of good Dharma, encounter the Buddha's true Dharma, and take refuge in the Buddha and become a monk.' After making this vow, Vipasyin Buddha and the Sangha of Bhikshus stayed in the householder's residence for three months of retreat. At that time, Sakyamuni Buddha (Shi Jia Mou Ni Fo, Sakyamuni Buddha) told the Bhikshus: 'What do you think? In the Dharma of Vipasyin Buddha at that time, was the wealthy householder Jicai someone else? He is now Bhikshu Guangming (Guangming Biqiu, Bhikshu Guangming). At that time, he spoke unkind words to King Manduma. Because of this cause, the karmic result will not be lost. In five hundred lifetimes, he will be --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
