大正藏第 16 册 No. 0688 佛说未曾有经 No. 688 [No. 689] 佛说未曾有经 后汉失译人名出古旧录 如是我闻： 一时，佛住王舍城耆阇崛山，与大比丘众千二百五十人俱。 尔时，尊者阿难晨朝着衣持钵，入王舍城，正念乞食。见有一处新作大舍，重阁高显、户牖雕饰、墙壁严整，无有风尘障隔寒暑。尊者阿难见已，即作是念：“若有善男子、善女人作如是严丽之舍，布施四方众僧；若如来般涅槃后，复有善男子、善女人以如芥子舍利，起塔大如庵摩勒果，其刹如针，上施槃盖如酸枣叶，若作佛像乃至如𪍿麦。是二功德，何者为多？” 尔时，尊者阿难乞食讫，还本处饭食竟，举衣钵，洗足已，往诣佛所。一心恭敬，头面作礼，于一面坐已，白佛言：“世尊！我于彼处晨朝着衣，持钵入王舍城乞食。见有一处新作大舍，重阁高显、户牖雕饰、墙壁严整，无有风尘障隔寒暑，便作是念：‘若有善男子、善女人能作如是妙丽之舍，布施四方众僧；若佛般涅槃后，复有善男子、善女人以如芥子舍利起塔，大如庵摩勒果，其刹如针，上施槃盖如酸枣叶，若作佛像乃至如𪍿麦。是二功德，何者为多？’” 尔时，世尊告阿难言： 现代汉语译本 《佛说未曾有经》 后汉时期佚名译者翻译，记录于古旧经录中。 我是这样听说的： 一时，佛陀住在王舍城（Rājagṛha）的耆阇崛山（Gṛdhrakūṭa），与一千二百五十位大比丘在一起。 当时，尊者阿难（Ānanda）早上穿好衣服，拿着钵，进入王舍城，以正念乞食。他看到一处新建的大房子，重楼高阁，门窗雕饰精美，墙壁严整，没有风尘能够阻隔寒暑。尊者阿难看到后，心中想道：‘如果有善男子、善女人建造这样华丽的房子，布施给四方众僧；如果如来（Tathāgata）般涅槃（Parinirvāṇa）后，又有善男子、善女人用像芥子一样大小的舍利（Śarīra），建造佛塔，佛塔大如庵摩勒果（āmalaka，一种果实），塔刹细如针，上面覆盖的槃盖（Paṇḍava）像酸枣叶，或者塑造佛像，乃至像𪍿麦（一种小麦）。这两种功德，哪一种更多呢？’ 当时，尊者阿难乞食完毕，回到住处吃完饭，收拾好衣钵，洗完脚，前往佛陀所在的地方。他一心恭敬，顶礼佛足，在一旁坐下，对佛陀说：‘世尊（Bhagavat）！我早上穿好衣服，拿着钵进入王舍城乞食。看到一处新建的大房子，重楼高阁，门窗雕饰精美，墙壁严整，没有风尘能够阻隔寒暑，便这样想：如果有善男子、善女人能够建造这样美妙华丽的房子，布施给四方众僧；如果佛陀般涅槃后，又有善男子、善女人用像芥子一样大小的舍利建造佛塔，佛塔大如庵摩勒果，塔刹细如针，上面覆盖的槃盖像酸枣叶，或者塑造佛像，乃至像𪍿麦。这两种功德，哪一种更多呢？’ 当时，世尊告诉阿难说：

English version The Buddha Speaks of the Unprecedented Dharma Translated during the Later Han Dynasty by an unknown translator; recorded in ancient catalogs. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was staying at Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha (Royal City), together with a large assembly of twelve hundred and fifty Bhikṣus (monks). At that time, the Venerable Ānanda (bliss) in the morning, put on his robes, held his bowl, and entered Rājagṛha, mindfully seeking alms. He saw a newly built large house, with high double-storied pavilions, exquisitely carved doors and windows, and well-arranged walls, free from wind and dust, and protected from heat and cold. Having seen this, the Venerable Ānanda immediately thought: 'If there is a virtuous man or virtuous woman who builds such a magnificent house and donates it to the Sangha (community) of the four directions; or if, after the Tathāgata's (Thus Gone One) Parinirvāṇa (complete extinction), there is again a virtuous man or virtuous woman who uses a Śarīra (relic) as small as a mustard seed to build a Stūpa (pagoda), as large as an āmalaka (myrobalan) fruit, with a finial as thin as a needle, and a Paṇḍava (umbrella) covering on top like a jujube leaf, or makes a Buddha image even as small as a barleycorn. Which of these two merits is greater?' At that time, the Venerable Ānanda, having finished seeking alms, returned to his dwelling, finished his meal, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and went to the place where the Buddha was. With utmost reverence, he bowed his head to the ground in obeisance, and sat to one side. He then said to the Buddha: 'Bhagavat (World Honored One)! This morning, I put on my robes and, holding my bowl, entered Rājagṛha to seek alms. I saw a newly built large house, with high double-storied pavilions, exquisitely carved doors and windows, and well-arranged walls, free from wind and dust, and protected from heat and cold. I then thought: 'If there is a virtuous man or virtuous woman who can build such a wonderful and magnificent house and donate it to the Sangha of the four directions; or if, after the Buddha's Parinirvāṇa, there is again a virtuous man or virtuous woman who uses a Śarīra as small as a mustard seed to build a Stūpa, as large as an āmalaka fruit, with a finial as thin as a needle, and a Paṇḍava covering on top like a jujube leaf, or makes a Buddha image even as small as a barleycorn. Which of these two merits is greater?'' At that time, the World Honored One said to Ānanda: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“善哉，善哉！阿难！汝为多人故、为安乐众生故、为哀愍世间故、为大众故、为多饶益天人故，乃以是义问于如来。阿难！谛听，善思念之！阎浮提地广七千由延，北阔南狭，其中人面似如车形，如是地上满中甘蔗、竹苇、稻麻、丛林，无空缺处犹如一体。阿难！是诸草木皆悉为人，得须陀洹、斯陀含、阿那含、阿罗汉、辟支佛。若有一人，尽寿供养衣钵、饮食、床座、医药、房舍所须，具足供给，至灭度后一一起塔，各起塔已，供养恭敬，香华、伎乐、烧香、涂香、末香、幢幡、宝盖如是具足。于汝意云何？如此功德宁为多不？” 阿难白佛言：“甚多。世尊！甚多。善逝！是善男子、善女人得大功德。” 佛告阿难：“置是阎浮提，复有瞿耶尼，广八千由延，人面如半月，于彼中人亦复如是作大功德。 “复次，阿难！置是瞿耶尼，复有弗于逮，广九千由延，人面圆满，于彼人中悉亦如是作大功德。 “复次，阿难！置是弗于逮，复有郁单越，广万由延，人面正方，于彼中人悉亦如是作大功德。” 佛告阿难：“释提桓因大庄严殿，雕文刻镂、微妙奇特，有八万四千宝柱，以天青琉璃间厕黄金，以为罗网弥覆其上，金沙布地，奇妙栴檀以为栏楯。 “复次，阿难！是天帝 现代汉语译本 ‘太好了，太好了！阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）！你为了许多人的缘故，为了众生的安乐，为了怜悯世间，为了大众的利益，为了使天人和世人得到更多的利益，才向如来（Tathagata，佛陀的称号之一）询问这样的问题。阿难！仔细听，好好地思考！阎浮提（Jambudvipa，四大部洲之一，我们所居住的娑婆世界）的土地广阔七千由延（yojana，古印度长度单位），北边宽阔而南边狭窄，那里的人的面容像车子的形状。这样的土地上长满了甘蔗、竹苇、稻麻、丛林，没有空缺的地方，就像一体一样。阿难！这些草木都为了人们，证得了须陀洹（Srotapanna，小乘佛教四果中的初果）、斯陀含（Sakrdagamin，小乘佛教四果中的二果）、阿那含（Anagamin，小乘佛教四果中的三果）、阿罗汉（Arhat，小乘佛教四果中的四果）、辟支佛（Pratyekabuddha，缘觉）。如果有一个人，尽其一生供养他们衣钵、饮食、床座、医药、房舍等所需之物，完全地供给，直到他们灭度之后，一一为他们起塔，每起一座塔之后，都供养恭敬，用香华、伎乐、烧香、涂香、末香、幢幡、宝盖等来供养。你认为怎么样？这样的功德难道不多吗？’ 阿难对佛说：‘非常多。世尊（Bhagavan，佛陀的称号之一）！非常多。善逝（Sugata，佛陀的称号之一）！这位善男子、善女人会得到很大的功德。’ 佛告诉阿难：‘放下这阎浮提不谈，还有瞿耶尼（Godaniya，四大部洲之一），广阔八千由延，那里的人的面容像半月，在那里的人也同样做这样大的功德。’ ‘再者，阿难！放下这瞿耶尼不谈，还有弗于逮（Purvavideha，四大部洲之一），广阔九千由延，那里的人的面容是圆满的，在那里的人也都同样做这样大的功德。’ ‘再者，阿难！放下这弗于逮不谈，还有郁单越（Uttarakuru，四大部洲之一），广阔一万由延，那里的人的面容是正方形的，在那里的人也都同样做这样大的功德。’ 佛告诉阿难：‘释提桓因（Sakra devanam Indra，忉利天之主）的大庄严殿，雕刻着花纹，精妙奇特，有八万四千根宝柱，用天青琉璃和黄金间隔装饰，用罗网覆盖在上面，用金沙铺地，用奇妙的栴檀木做栏杆。’ ‘再者，阿难！这位天帝（Deva，天神）……’

English version ‘Excellent, excellent! Ananda! Because of many people, for the happiness of sentient beings, out of compassion for the world, for the sake of the multitude, and for the great benefit of gods and humans, you have asked the Tathagata about this meaning. Ananda! Listen carefully and contemplate it well! The land of Jambudvipa is seven thousand yojanas wide, broad in the north and narrow in the south, and the faces of the people there resemble the shape of a cart. Such land is filled with sugarcane, bamboo reeds, rice, hemp, and forests, with no empty spaces, as if it were one entity. Ananda! All these plants and trees are for the sake of people, who attain Srotapanna, Sakrdagamin, Anagamin, Arhat, and Pratyekabuddha. If there is a person who, throughout their life, offers them robes, alms bowls, food, bedding, medicine, dwellings, and all necessities, providing them completely, and after their extinction, erects a stupa for each of them, and after erecting each stupa, makes offerings with reverence, using incense, flowers, music, burning incense, scented paste, powdered incense, banners, and jeweled canopies, providing all these things completely. What do you think? Is such merit not great?’ Ananda said to the Buddha: ‘Very much so, World Honored One! Very much so, Sugata! This good man, this good woman, will obtain great merit.’ The Buddha told Ananda: ‘Setting aside this Jambudvipa, there is also Godaniya, which is eight thousand yojanas wide, and the faces of the people there are like half-moons. The people there also perform such great merit.’ ‘Furthermore, Ananda! Setting aside this Godaniya, there is also Purvavideha, which is nine thousand yojanas wide, and the faces of the people there are perfectly round. The people there also perform such great merit.’ ‘Furthermore, Ananda! Setting aside this Purvavideha, there is also Uttarakuru, which is ten thousand yojanas wide, and the faces of the people there are perfectly square. The people there also perform such great merit.’ The Buddha told Ananda: ‘Sakra devanam Indra’s great adorned palace is carved with patterns, wonderfully unique, and has eighty-four thousand jeweled pillars, with azure lapis lazuli interspersed with gold, and a net covering it above, with golden sand spread on the ground, and wondrous sandalwood used as railings.’ ‘Furthermore, Ananda!

释大庄严殿，复有八万四千宝窗，亦以天青琉璃间厕黄金，以为罗网弥覆其上，布以金沙，栴檀栏楯。 “复次，阿难！是天帝释大庄严殿，复有八万四千天绀宝窗，微妙严丽挍饰如上。 “复次，阿难！是天帝释大庄严殿，复有八万四千楼橹，馆阁四出围绕众宝，挍饰亦复如上。” 佛告阿难：“若有善男子、善女人作是天帝释大庄严殿，施四方众僧。于汝意云何？是善男子、善女人以此因缘得大功德不？” 阿难白佛言：“甚多。世尊！甚多。善逝！此善男子、善女人得大功德。” 佛告阿难：“置此四天下功德，复置释提桓因大庄严殿功德。若有善男子、善女人作百千亿释提桓因大庄严殿，施四方僧；复有善男子、善女人于佛般涅槃后，以如芥子舍利起塔，大如庵摩勒果，其刹如针，上施槃盖如酸枣叶，若造佛形像乃至如𪍿麦，此功德满足，百倍不及，千倍、万倍、百千万亿倍所不能及，不可称量。阿难当知，是如来无量功德，戒分、定分、智慧分、解脱分、知见解脱分。 “复次，阿难！如来无量功德，有大神通神足变化，及檀波罗蜜、尸波罗蜜、羼提波罗蜜、毗梨耶波罗蜜、禅波罗蜜、般若波罗蜜如是等无量功德。” 尔时，佛告尊者阿难：“汝谛受持此经。 现代汉语译本 释迦牟尼佛的大庄严殿，还有八万四千个宝窗，也用天青琉璃和黄金交错装饰，用罗网覆盖其上，铺上金沙，用栴檀木做栏杆。 ‘再者，阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）！天帝释（Śakra Devānām Indra，忉利天之主）的大庄严殿，还有八万四千个天绀宝窗，精妙庄严，装饰如同上面所说。’ ‘再者，阿难！天帝释的大庄严殿，还有八万四千个楼橹，馆阁四面伸出，围绕着各种宝物，装饰也如同上面所说。’ 佛告诉阿难：‘如果有善男子、善女人建造这样的天帝释大庄严殿，布施给四方僧众。你认为如何？这位善男子、善女人因此因缘能得到大的功德吗？’ 阿难禀告佛说：‘非常多。世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊称）！非常多。善逝（Sugata，如来的称号之一）！这位善男子、善女人能得到大的功德。’ 佛告诉阿难：‘放下这四天下的功德，也放下释提桓因（Śakro devānam indraḥ，天帝释的另一种称呼）大庄严殿的功德。如果有善男子、善女人建造百千亿个释提桓因大庄严殿，布施给四方僧众；又如果有善男子、善女人在佛陀般涅槃（Parinirvana，佛陀的最终涅槃）后，用如芥菜籽大小的舍利（Śarīra，佛陀或高僧火化后的遗物）建造佛塔，大如庵摩勒果（Āmalaka，一种果实），塔刹如针，上面施加的伞盖如酸枣叶，或者塑造佛的形象，乃至如𪍿麦（一种小麦），这种功德的满足，百倍不及，千倍、万倍、百千万亿倍都不能及，不可称量。阿难应当知道，这是如来无量的功德，戒律之分、禅定之分、智慧之分、解脱之分、解脱知见之分。 ‘再者，阿难！如来无量的功德，有大神通道力变化，以及檀波罗蜜（Dāna-pāramitā，布施波罗蜜）、尸波罗蜜（Śīla-pāramitā，持戒波罗蜜）、羼提波罗蜜（Kṣānti-pāramitā，忍辱波罗蜜）、毗梨耶波罗蜜（Vīrya-pāramitā，精进波罗蜜）、禅波罗蜜（Dhyāna-pāramitā，禅定波罗蜜）、般若波罗蜜（Prajñā-pāramitā，智慧波罗蜜）等等无量功德。’ 这时，佛告诉尊者阿难：‘你仔细受持这部经。’
