English version The Buddha Speaks of the Misfortune of a Woman Sutra Translated by the Shramana Sheng Jian of Qifu Qin Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jetavana Anathapindika-arama in Shravasti (Śrāvastī), together with a large assembly of twelve hundred and fifty Bhikshus. At that time, there was a man without a wife who went to Shravasti (Śrāvastī) to marry a woman from his native country. He already had two sons, the elder son being seven years old and the younger son still an infant. The mother was also pregnant and nearing her delivery. According to the customs of India (India), when a woman is near her delivery, she returns to her parents' home. At that time, the couple was traveling by cart with their two sons, intending to go to Shravasti (Śrāvastī). On the way, they stopped to rest and graze their cow. A poisonous snake coiled around the cow's leg, and the cow broke free. The husband went to retrieve the cow, wanting to tie it up securely, but he saw that the cow had been killed by the poisonous snake. The snake then left the cow and coiled around the husband, killing him as well. The wife saw this from afar, terrified and trembling, crying out to the heavens, but there was no one to help her. The sun was setting, and not far from the road, there was a flowing river. By the river were water mills and houses. The woman, fearing robbery due to the late hour, abandoned the cart and took her two sons to the riverbank. She left the elder son by the water's edge and carried the younger son across the river. Just as she reached the middle of the river, a wolf devoured her elder son, who cried out to his mother. The mother turned back and saw her son being eaten by the wolf, and in her panic and fear, she dropped the infant in her arms into the water, where he was carried away by the current. The mother was even more distressed, confused, and lost her senses. She stumbled in the water and lost the child she was carrying in her womb. Then she crossed the river and asked a passerby: 'Is my parents' home safe and well?' The passerby replied: 'Yesterday, your house caught fire, and your parents were burned to death, nothing remains.' She then asked the passerby: 'Are my husband's parents safe and well?' The passerby replied: 'Yesterday, violent thieves broke into your house and harmed them. Your husband's parents are all dead, none survived.' Upon hearing this, the mother was filled with sorrow, worry, fear, and confusion. She lost her sense of direction and took off her clothes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

形,迷惑狂走。道中行人,见大怪之,谓得邪病,鬼神所娆乎,或谓愁忧迷惑失志,或有唾贱舍避之走,或有怜伤愍念哀之。   时佛在舍卫祇树给孤独精舍。时妇驰走,而往趣之,过祇树园。   尔时,世尊大会说法,四辈弟子,诸天龙神,十方一切,皆悉听经。诸佛之法,盲者见佛,皆得眼目,聋者得听,哑者能言,疾病除愈,尪劣强健,被毒不行,心乱得定。   时妇见佛,意即得定,不复愁忧,自视裸形,惭愧伏地。佛呼阿难:“取衣与妇。”即时受教,则取衣与妇。着衣竟,稽首佛足,却坐一面。佛即说经,为现罪福:“人命无常,合会有别,生者有死,无生不终,一切本空,自作起灭,展转五道,譬如车轮,已解本无,不复起分。”   妇闻佛言,心开意解,即发无上正真道意,即时得立不退转地,愁忧除愈,如日无云。   佛说如是,四辈欢喜,诸天龙神,稽首而退。   佛说妇人遇辜经 现代汉语译本:她的行为,迷惑而疯狂。路上的行人,看到她这样奇怪的样子,都说她得了邪病,是被鬼神所迷惑了吧,或者说她是因愁苦忧虑而迷惑丧失了心智,有的人厌恶地朝她吐唾沫,避开她跑走,有的人怜悯哀伤她。 当时佛陀在舍卫城(Śrāvastī)的祇树给孤独精舍(Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma)。这时,那个妇人奔跑着,朝着精舍的方向跑去,经过了祇树园。 当时,世尊(Śākyamuni)正在举行大法会说法,四众弟子(比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷),诸天、龙神,十方一切众生,都来听经。诸佛的教法,能让盲人看见佛,都能得到眼目,聋人能够听见,哑巴能够说话,疾病消除痊愈,体弱的人变得强壮,中毒的人不再受毒害,心烦意乱的人得到安定。 这时,那个妇人见到佛,心意立刻安定下来,不再愁苦忧虑,看到自己赤身裸体,感到惭愧,就伏倒在地。佛陀呼唤阿难(Ānanda)说:‘拿衣服给这位妇人。’阿难立刻接受教诲,拿衣服给妇人。妇人穿好衣服后,向佛陀的足稽首,退到一旁坐下。佛陀就为她说经,为她开示罪与福:‘人的生命是无常的,相聚终有离别,生者必有死,没有生就不会有终结,一切事物本质上都是空性的,由自己的行为而生起和灭亡,在五道(地狱、饿鬼、畜生、人、天)中辗转轮回,就像车轮一样,一旦明白其本性是空无,就不会再有生灭的分别。’ 妇人听了佛陀的话,心开意解,立刻发起了无上正真道意(Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi),当下就证得了不退转地(avaivartika-bhūmi),愁苦忧虑都消除了,就像太阳驱散了乌云一样。 佛陀说完这些话,四众弟子都欢喜奉行,诸天龙神,稽首而退。 佛说妇人遇辜经

English version: Her behavior was confused and frantic. The people on the road, seeing her strange appearance, said that she had contracted an evil disease, that she was being deluded by ghosts and spirits, or that she was confused and had lost her mind due to sorrow and worry. Some spat at her in disgust, avoiding her and running away, while others felt pity and compassion for her. At that time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove Anathapindika's Monastery (Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍada-ārāma) in Śrāvastī. At this time, the woman ran towards the monastery, passing through the Jeta Grove. At that time, the World Honored One (Śākyamuni) was holding a great Dharma assembly, and the fourfold assembly (bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, upāsakas, upāsikās), the devas, nāgas, and all beings in the ten directions were listening to the sutra. The Dharma of all Buddhas enables the blind to see the Buddha, and they all gain sight; the deaf can hear, the mute can speak, diseases are cured, the weak become strong, those poisoned are no longer harmed, and those with disturbed minds attain stability. At this time, when the woman saw the Buddha, her mind immediately became stable, and she was no longer worried or sorrowful. Seeing herself naked, she felt ashamed and prostrated on the ground. The Buddha called to Ānanda: 'Take clothes and give them to the woman.' Ānanda immediately received the instruction and gave the clothes to the woman. After putting on the clothes, she bowed her head to the Buddha's feet and sat down to one side. The Buddha then spoke the sutra for her, revealing the causes of sin and blessings: 'Human life is impermanent, meetings are followed by separations, those who are born must die, and without birth there is no end. All things are essentially empty, arising and ceasing due to one's own actions, revolving in the five paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, humans, devas) like a wheel. Once one understands that its nature is empty, there will be no more distinctions of arising and ceasing.' When the woman heard the Buddha's words, her mind opened and she understood. She immediately generated the unsurpassed, right, and true mind of enlightenment (Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi), and at that moment attained the stage of non-retrogression (avaivartika-bhūmi). Her sorrow and worry were dispelled, like the sun dispelling the clouds. After the Buddha spoke these words, the fourfold assembly rejoiced and practiced accordingly. The devas and nāgas bowed their heads and withdrew.
