—身紫金色,三十二相——在耆阇崛山七宝窟中坐宝师子座,与诸四众说除贪法。告言:‘法子!汝观贪人所著袈裟、六物、众具,如棘刺林针缝之中,当生剑树、百千铁钉、铁嘴诸虫啄食其身。融铜镬汤、铁锯、铁床是汝坐具;沸屎、毒蛇、铁丸镬汤、刀林剑戟、百亿棘刺、火河流铜、灰浆脓血是汝饮食。’ “尔时,世尊说是语已默然无声,令于行者自见己身卧七重铁城内,见五罗刹张口两向,以八十铁钳拔舌令出;无量铁犁状如剑树以耕其舌;铁牛甲间流注融铜,铁卒身内有百千色脓,脓中诸虫不可称数。观见此事,心惊毛竖。出定入定,见所著衣如脓、屎和血,铁嘴诸虫、刀林剑戟以为庄严;见所食物犹如蛔虫,百千小虫耳生诸脓、屎、尿、诸血,八十嘴虫、风虫、火虫、水虫、地虫、地狱虫,一切诸虫吐脓、吐毒满钵多罗;铁丸、剑戟以为果蓏。 “尔时,世尊而说偈言: “‘生死不断绝, 贪欲嗜味故, 养怨入丘冢, 唐受诸辛苦。 身臭如死尸, 九孔流不净, 如厕虫乐粪, 愚贪身无异。 智者应观身, 不贪染世间, 无累、无所欲, 是名真涅槃。 如诸佛所说, 一心一意行, 数息在静处, 是名行头陀。’” 现代汉语译本: —身紫金色,具足三十二相(佛陀的32种殊胜体貌特征)——在耆阇崛山(Grdhrakuta,又名灵鹫山)的七宝窟中,坐在宝师子座上,为四众弟子宣说去除贪欲的方法。佛告诫道:‘法子(Dharmaputra,佛陀对弟子的称呼)!你们观察贪婪之人所穿的袈裟、六物(比丘的六种必需品)、以及各种用具,它们就像布满尖刺的丛林,针脚缝隙之间,如同剑树一般,还有成百上千的铁钉、铁嘴虫啃食其身。熔化的铜水、镬汤、铁锯、铁床是你们的坐具;沸腾的粪便、毒蛇、铁丸镬汤、刀林剑戟、数以亿计的尖刺、流淌着铜水的火河、灰浆脓血是你们的饮食。’ ‘那时,世尊说完这些话后,便默然不语,让修行者自己看到自己的身体卧在七重铁城之内,看见五个罗刹(Rakshasa,恶鬼)张开大口,从两个方向用八十个铁钳拔出他们的舌头;无数铁犁形状如同剑树一般耕犁他们的舌头;铁牛的甲胄之间流淌着熔化的铜水,铁卒的身体内有成百上千种颜色的脓液,脓液中的虫子多得无法计数。’看到这些景象,修行者们心惊胆战,毛发竖立。出定入定之后,看见自己所穿的衣服如同脓液、粪便和血的混合物,铁嘴虫、刀林剑戟作为装饰;看见自己所吃的食物犹如蛔虫,成百上千的小虫子从耳朵里生出脓液、粪便、尿液、各种血液,八十种嘴的虫子、风虫、火虫、水虫、地虫、地狱虫,一切虫子都吐出脓液、毒液,盛满了钵多罗(Patra,食器);铁丸、剑戟作为水果。 ‘这时,世尊说了以下偈语:’ ‘生死轮回无止境,皆因贪恋诸美味, 滋养怨恨入坟墓,徒劳遭受诸痛苦。 身体恶臭如死尸,九孔常流不净物, 如厕虫乐于粪便,愚人贪身无差别。 智者应当观自身,不贪恋这世间物, 无牵无挂无所求,这才是真正的涅槃(Nirvana,解脱)。 如诸佛所教导的,一心一意去修行, 静处专心于数息,这才是真正的头陀(Dhuta,苦行)。’

English version: —His body is purple-golden, possessing the thirty-two marks (32 major marks of a Buddha) —seated on a jeweled lion throne in the Seven Treasure Cave on Grdhrakuta Mountain (Vulture Peak Mountain), he speaks the Dharma of eliminating greed to the four assemblies. He proclaims: ‘Dharmaputras (sons of the Dharma, a term for disciples)! Observe the robes, the six articles (the six essential possessions of a monk), and the various implements of greedy people, which are like a forest of thorns, and within the seams of the needles, like sword trees, with hundreds of thousands of iron nails and iron-beaked insects devouring their bodies. Molten copper, cauldrons of boiling water, iron saws, and iron beds are your seats; boiling excrement, poisonous snakes, cauldrons of iron pellets, forests of knives and swords, hundreds of millions of thorns, rivers of molten copper, and mixtures of ash, pus, and blood are your food and drink.’ ‘At that time, after the World Honored One spoke these words, he remained silent, allowing the practitioners to see their own bodies lying within a sevenfold iron city, and to see five Rakshasas (demons) opening their mouths in two directions, using eighty iron pincers to pull out their tongues; countless iron plows shaped like sword trees plowing their tongues; molten copper flowing between the armor of iron oxen, and within the bodies of iron soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of colors of pus, with countless insects within the pus.’ Seeing these scenes, the practitioners were terrified, and their hair stood on end. Emerging from and re-entering meditation, they saw their own clothes as a mixture of pus, excrement, and blood, adorned with iron-beaked insects, forests of knives and swords; they saw their food as roundworms, with hundreds of thousands of small insects growing pus, excrement, urine, and various bloods from their ears, eighty-mouthed insects, wind insects, fire insects, water insects, earth insects, hell insects, all insects vomiting pus and poison, filling their Patras (bowls); iron pellets and swords as fruits. ‘At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verse:’ ‘The cycle of birth and death is endless, because of craving for flavors, nurturing resentment into the grave, vainly enduring all kinds of suffering. The body is foul like a corpse, the nine orifices constantly flowing with impurities, like worms in a toilet delighting in feces, fools who crave the body are no different. Wise ones should contemplate the body, not craving worldly things, without burdens, without desires, this is called true Nirvana (liberation). As the Buddhas have taught, with one heart and one mind practice, counting breaths in a quiet place, this is called practicing Dhuta (asceticism).’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

告舍利弗:“利养伤身、败人善根,不可具说,但当数息一心观之。若服此药,是大丈夫、天人之师、调御人主,免欲淤泥,不为使水、恩爱大河之所漂没、贪利不祥之所烧害。当知是人未出生死,其身香洁如优波罗,人中香象、龙王、力士、摩醯首罗所不能及,大力丈夫、天、人所敬。” 告舍利弗:“汝好受持,为四众说,慎勿忘失。” 时舍利弗及阿难等闻佛所说,欢喜奉行。 治犯戒法 “复次,舍利弗!若比丘、比丘尼、式叉摩尼、沙弥、沙弥尼、优婆塞、优婆夷受佛禁戒,身心狂乱犹如猿猴,种植之法未及生长灭枝毁根;七众亦尔,于佛禁戒戒色未生,犯突吉罗乃至波罗夷,犹如醉象不避好恶、不识诸方,蹈坏一切诸善好物;四众亦尔,蹈破净戒青莲花池,破戒猛盛犹如狂狗,见人、见木、乃至鸟、兽随逐啮之。 “犯戒恶人见佛、罗汉、清净比丘功德福田,随逐骂辱、诽谤毁之,自饮毒药遍体血现,节节火然。狂愚无智,结使猛风动烦恼山——贪淫为眼、瞋为手足、愚痴身体——践蹈世间,植种恶子,既自种已,复教他人求觅。地狱狱卒、罗刹、牛头阿傍、劫火恶鬼、剑林之神、阎罗王等十八狱主,常为己作大亲友上善知识,必定当与如是狱种昼夜游处。 “此 佛陀告诉舍利弗(Sariputra,佛陀十大弟子之一,以智慧著称): ‘贪图利养会伤害自身,败坏人的善根,这其中的害处无法一一详尽诉说,但应当专注于数息观,一心修行。如果服用这剂良药,这个人就是大丈夫、天人的导师、调御人主,能够免于欲望的泥沼,不被情爱的河流所淹没,不被贪婪的灾祸所烧害。应当知道,这样的人尚未脱离生死轮回,他的身体香洁如同优波罗(utpala,蓝色莲花),在人群中如同香象一般尊贵,即使是龙王、力士、摩醯首罗(Mahesvara,印度教主神湿婆的别名)也无法相比,是大力丈夫,受到天人和人的尊敬。’ 佛陀告诉舍利弗:‘你要好好地接受并奉持这些教诲,为比丘(bhiksu,出家男众)、比丘尼(bhiksuni,出家女众)、式叉摩尼(siksamana,预备出家的女众)、沙弥(sramanera,出家男童)、沙弥尼(sramanerika,出家女童)、优婆塞(upasaka,在家男居士)、优婆夷(upasika,在家女居士)四众弟子宣说,千万不要忘记或遗失。’ 当时,舍利弗以及阿难(Ananda,佛陀十大弟子之一,以记忆力著称)等听闻佛陀所说,都非常欢喜,并决心遵照奉行。 **治犯戒法** ‘再者,舍利弗!如果比丘、比丘尼、式叉摩尼、沙弥、沙弥尼、优婆塞、优婆夷受持佛陀的禁戒后,身心却变得狂乱,就像猿猴一样躁动不安,所种植的善法还未及生长就已灭枝毁根;七众弟子也是如此,对于佛陀的禁戒,戒的色彩尚未显现,就犯下突吉罗(dukkhata,轻罪)乃至波罗夷(parajika,重罪),就像喝醉了的大象一样,不辨好坏,不识方向,践踏毁坏一切美好的事物;四众弟子也是如此,践踏破坏清净戒律的青莲花池,破戒的凶猛程度就像疯狗一样,见到人、见到木头,乃至鸟兽,都追逐撕咬。 ‘犯戒的恶人见到佛陀、阿罗汉(arhat,已证得涅槃的圣者)、清净的比丘这些功德福田,就追逐谩骂、诽谤诋毁,如同自己饮下毒药,全身血流不止,每个关节都像被火烧一样痛苦。他们狂妄愚蠢,没有智慧,结使(klesha,烦恼)的猛烈狂风吹动烦恼之山——贪淫是他们的眼睛,嗔恨是他们的手脚,愚痴是他们的身体——践踏世间,种植恶的种子,自己种下之后,还教唆他人去寻求。地狱的狱卒、罗刹(rakshasa,恶鬼)、牛头阿傍(地狱中的狱卒)、劫火恶鬼、剑林之神、阎罗王等十八狱主,常常把他们当作自己的大亲友和上善知识,必定会和这些地狱的种子日夜相处。 ‘这种人’

The Buddha told Sariputra (Sariputra, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom): 'Gaining profit and offerings harms oneself and ruins one's roots of goodness. The harms cannot be fully described, but one should focus on mindfulness of breathing and observe it with a concentrated mind. If one takes this medicine, he is a great man, a teacher of gods and humans, a tamer of people, able to avoid the mud of desire, not to be drowned by the river of love and affection, nor burned by the misfortune of greed. Know that such a person has not yet escaped birth and death, his body is as fragrant and pure as an utpala (utpala, blue lotus), surpassing even the dragon kings, strongmen, Mahesvara (Mahesvara, another name for the Hindu god Shiva), and the fragrant elephants among men. He is a mighty man, respected by gods and humans.' The Buddha told Sariputra: 'You should receive and uphold these teachings well, and explain them to the fourfold assembly of bhikshus (bhiksu, ordained monks), bhikshunis (bhiksuni, ordained nuns), sikshamanas (siksamana, female novices), sramaneras (sramanera, novice monks), sramanerikas (sramanerika, novice nuns), upasakas (upasaka, lay male devotees), and upasikas (upasika, lay female devotees). Be careful not to forget or lose them.' At that time, Sariputra and Ananda (Ananda, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, known for his memory) and others, hearing what the Buddha said, were delighted and resolved to follow and practice it. **Treating Offenses Against the Precepts** 'Furthermore, Sariputra! If bhikshus, bhikshunis, sikshamanas, sramaneras, sramanerikas, upasakas, and upasikas, after receiving the Buddha's precepts, become mentally and physically disturbed like monkeys, the planted seeds of goodness are destroyed before they can grow, with branches broken and roots ruined. The same is true for the seven assemblies: regarding the Buddha's precepts, before the color of the precepts has even appeared, they commit dukkhatas (dukkhata, minor offenses) and even parajikas (parajika, major offenses), like a drunken elephant that does not avoid good or bad, does not recognize directions, and tramples and destroys all good things. The four assemblies are also like this, trampling and breaking the blue lotus pond of pure precepts. The fierceness of breaking precepts is like a mad dog, chasing and biting people, trees, and even birds and beasts. 'Offending evil people, seeing the Buddha, arhats (arhat, enlightened saints who have attained Nirvana), and pure bhikshus as fields of merit and virtue, chase after them to scold, insult, slander, and defame them, as if drinking poison themselves, with blood appearing all over their bodies, and every joint burning with fire. They are mad, foolish, and without wisdom. The fierce winds of kleshas (klesha, afflictions) stir the mountain of afflictions—greed and lust are their eyes, anger is their hands and feet, and ignorance is their body—trampling the world, planting evil seeds. After planting them themselves, they also teach others to seek them. The jailers of hell, rakshasas (rakshasa, evil spirits), ox-headed wardens, evil spirits of the kalpa fire, the gods of the sword forest, and the eighteen lords of hell, such as King Yama, always treat them as their great friends and supreme good advisors, and will certainly spend day and night with such seeds of hell.

破戒人,诸恶猛火已来入心,为利养故、为名闻故,自称善好、威德具足,诣阿练若知法者所,犹如幻师幻惑他目。此幻伪人诈行头陀,破戒恶风吹罪业华常散己上,恶口诽谤,不善心香以熏身心。此人身心犹如伊兰,似百千虫狗,虽行禅定,伪现数息所见境界。 “始初之时,见黑色佛如黑象脚、见如灰人,见诸比丘头破脚折、见比丘尼庄严花鬘。见诸天象化为猕猴,毛端火然来触扰已。或见一野狐及一野干有百千尾,一一尾端无量诸虫、种种杂恶。或见羸瘦驼驴、猪狗、鸠槃荼等。诸恶夜叉、罗刹、魁脍,各持种种武器、恶火打扑比丘,因是发狂——或歌、或舞、卧地粪秽、作种种恶——当疾治之。 “治之法者,向诸智者至诚自说,忏悔所作恶不善业。智者应当教此比丘念释迦牟尼佛,乃至次第念于七佛;念七佛已,念三十五佛;然后复当念诸菩萨、念大乘心。观于空法深自惭愧,想一一佛捉澡罐水以灌其顶。 “复自想身堕阿鼻地狱,十八地狱受诸苦恼,于地狱中称南无佛、南无法、南无比丘僧,修行六念,诸佛、如来于其梦中放白毫光救地狱苦。见此事已,如负债人心怀惭愧应当偿之,一心一意脱僧伽梨、着安多会、诣清净僧所,五体投地如大山崩,心怀惭愧忏悔诸罪,为僧执事作诸苦 现代汉语译本: 破戒之人,各种罪恶的猛火已经侵入内心,为了获得利养、为了博取名声,就自称是善良美好、威德圆满的人,去到阿练若(远离尘嚣的修行处)有智慧、懂佛法的人那里,就像幻术师用幻术迷惑他人的眼睛一样。这种虚假伪善的人假装修行头陀行(苦行),破戒的恶风吹散罪业之花,经常散落在自己身上,用恶毒的言语诽谤他人,用不善的心像香一样熏染身心。这种人的身心就像伊兰(一种臭草),像百千条虫子和狗一样令人厌恶,即使修行禅定,虚假地显现数息观(一种禅修方法)所见的境界。 ‘一开始的时候,会看见黑色的佛像,像黑色的象脚一样;看见像灰色的人;看见各位比丘(出家男子)头破脚断;看见比丘尼(出家女子)打扮着华丽的花鬘。看见诸天(天神)的形象变化成猕猴,毛发的末端燃烧着火焰来触碰扰乱自己。或者看见一只野狐和一只豺狼长着成百上千条尾巴,每一条尾巴的末端都有无数的虫子,各种各样污秽丑恶。或者看见瘦弱的骆驼、驴子、猪狗、鸠槃荼(一种恶鬼)等等。各种邪恶的夜叉(一种恶鬼)、罗刹(一种恶鬼)、魁脍(刽子手),各自拿着各种各样的武器、恶火殴打比丘,因此导致发狂——或者唱歌、或者跳舞、躺在地上沾满粪便污秽、做出各种各样的恶行——应当迅速医治他。’ ‘医治的方法是,向各位有智慧的人真诚地诉说,忏悔自己所做的罪恶不善之业。有智慧的人应当教导这位比丘念诵释迦牟尼佛(现在佛),乃至依次念诵七佛;念诵七佛之后,念诵三十五佛;然后还应当念诵各位菩萨(觉悟的有情)、念诵大乘之心。观想空性之法,深深地感到惭愧,想象每一尊佛都拿着澡罐(水瓶)中的水来灌溉他的头顶。’ ‘再次想象自己的身体堕入阿鼻地狱(八大地狱中最苦之处),在十八地狱中遭受各种痛苦折磨,在地狱中称念南无佛(皈依佛)、南无法(皈依法)、南无比丘僧(皈依僧),修行六念(念佛、念法、念僧、念戒、念施、念天),诸佛、如来(佛的称号)在他的梦中放出白毫光(佛眉间的光明)来救度地狱的苦难。看见这件事之后,就像欠债的人一样心怀惭愧应当偿还债务,一心一意地脱下僧伽梨(大衣)、穿上安多会(内衣),去到清净的僧团那里,五体投地像大山崩塌一样,心怀惭愧地忏悔各种罪过,为僧团服务做各种苦工。
