大正藏第 16 册 No. 0707 佛说出家功德经 No. 707 佛说出家功德经 失译人今附东晋录 如是我闻： 一时佛在毗舍离国。食时到，入城乞食。时毗舍离城中，有一梨车，名鞞罗羡那(秦言勇军)。譬如天与诸天女共相娱乐，时此王子与诸婇女在阁上共相娱乐，耽于色欲亦复如是。 尔时世尊以一切智闻彼乐音，告阿难言：“我知此人——贪五欲乐者——不久命终。却后七日，当舍如是眷属快乐，决定当死。阿难！如此人若当不舍欲乐，不出家者，命终或能堕于地狱。” 尔时阿难顶奉佛教，欲利益此王子故，次至其舍。尔时王子闻阿难在外，即出奉见，以敬念故，请阿难入坐。坐已，未久，尔时王子起恭敬心，白阿难言：“善哉！好亲友来，今正是时。我今见汝，踊跃欢喜。汝字欢喜，汝今当教，告我佛所教法，令我欢喜。”尔时王子如是三请。阿难为欲作大利益，默然无言。 王子又言：“鞞陀呵牟尼大仙，利益一切众生。有何嫌恨，默然无所说？不见少告！” 时第三师——持佛法藏、利世间者——惨然告言：“汝今善听！却后七日，汝当命终。汝若于此五欲乐中，不能觉悟，不出家者，命终或当堕地狱中。佛一切智 现代汉语译本 《佛说出家功德经》 （佚名，今附东晋录） 如是我闻： 一时，佛陀在毗舍离国（Vaishali，古印度城市）居住。到了吃饭的时间，佛陀进入城中乞食。当时在毗舍离城中，有一位梨车（Licchavi，古印度部族）族的王子，名叫鞞罗羡那（Vira Sena，勇军）。他就像天上的神与众天女一同享乐一样，这位王子也与众多美女在楼阁上共同娱乐，沉溺于**之中，也是如此。 这时，世尊以其一切智慧听到了他们的欢乐之声，告诉阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）说：‘我知道这个人——贪恋五欲之乐的人——不久将要命终。七天之后，他将舍弃这样的眷属和快乐，必定会死去。阿难！如果这个人不舍弃欲望和快乐，不出家修行，命终之后或许会堕入地狱。’ 当时，阿难恭敬地接受佛陀的教诲，为了利益这位王子，随后前往他的住所。当时王子听到阿难在外面，立即出来迎接，因为敬重阿难，请他入座。坐下后不久，王子以恭敬之心对阿难说：‘太好了！好朋友来了，现在正是时候。我今天见到你，感到非常高兴。你的名字是欢喜，你现在应当教导我，告诉我佛陀所教的佛法，让我欢喜。’王子这样请求了三次。阿难为了给他带来巨大的利益，默然不语。 王子又说：‘鞞陀呵牟尼（Buddha Muni，佛陀）大仙，利益一切众生。有什么嫌隙和怨恨，默然无语？哪怕稍微告诉我一点也好啊！’ 这时，第三位导师——持有佛法宝藏、利益世间之人——悲悯地告诉他说：‘你现在好好听着！七天之后，你将要命终。你如果不能从这五欲之乐中觉醒，不出家修行，命终之后或许会堕入地狱。佛陀具有一切智慧。’

English version The Sutra of the Merit of Renunciation Spoken by the Buddha （Translator lost, now appended to the Eastern Jin record） Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was residing in the country of Vaishali (Vaishali, an ancient Indian city). When it was time for the meal, the Buddha entered the city to beg for food. At that time, in the city of Vaishali, there was a prince of the Licchavi (Licchavi, an ancient Indian tribe) clan named Vira Sena (Vira Sena, Brave Army). Just as the gods in the heavens enjoy themselves with the heavenly maidens, this prince also enjoyed himself with many beautiful women in his pavilion, indulging in ** in the same way. At that time, the World-Honored One, with his all-knowing wisdom, heard their sounds of joy and told Ananda (Ananda, one of the Buddha's ten great disciples): 'I know that this person—one who is greedy for the pleasures of the five desires—will soon come to the end of his life. After seven days, he will abandon such family and happiness and will surely die. Ananda! If this person does not abandon desires and pleasures and does not renounce the household life to practice, after death he may fall into hell.' At that time, Ananda respectfully received the Buddha's teaching, and for the benefit of this prince, he then went to his residence. When the prince heard that Ananda was outside, he immediately came out to greet him, and out of respect for Ananda, he invited him to sit down. After sitting down for a short time, the prince, with a respectful heart, said to Ananda: 'Excellent! A good friend has come, now is the right time. Today I see you and feel very happy. Your name is Joy, you should now teach me and tell me the Dharma taught by the Buddha, so that I may be joyful.' The prince requested this three times. Ananda, in order to bring him great benefit, remained silent. The prince then said: 'The great sage Buddha Muni (Buddha Muni, the Buddha) benefits all sentient beings. What grudges or resentments do you have that you remain silent? Even if you tell me a little bit, that would be good!' At that time, the third teacher—the one who holds the treasury of the Buddha's Dharma and benefits the world—compassionately told him: 'Now listen carefully! After seven days, you will come to the end of your life. If you cannot awaken from these pleasures of the five desires and do not renounce the household life to practice, after death you may fall into hell. The Buddha possesses all-knowing wisdom.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

人，正语正说，记汝如是。譬火烧物，终不虚发。汝谛思惟！” 时彼王子闻此语已，甚大忧怖，愁愦不乐，受阿难教：“我当出家，定且听更六日受乐。第七日中，我辞家眷属，定必出家。”阿难可之。 第七日畏生死故，求佛出家，佛即听之。一日一夜，修持净戒，即便命终。烧香毕已，尊者阿难与其眷属，往白佛言：“世尊！此鞞罗羡那比丘，今已命终，神生何处？” 时佛、世尊、天人之师、一切智人，以大梵音，胜出雷鼓迦陵频伽众妙音声，以八种音告阿难言：“此鞞罗羡那比丘，畏于生死、地狱苦故，舍欲出家。一日一夜，持净戒故，舍此世已，生四天王天，为北方天王毗沙门子，恣心受于五欲快乐。贪受五欲，与诸婇女共相娱乐，寿五百岁。五百岁已，命终转生三十三天，为帝释子。具受五欲，极天之乐，天妙婇女，恣意千岁。寿尽，生焰天，为焰天王子，自恣受天色、声、香、味、触，快心欲乐。受天二千岁已，命终生于兜率天王子，恣心受于五欲快乐，目视相欲，心自厌足，常谈法语，解脱智慧，寿天中寿。满四千岁已，命终往生自在天上，为天王子，受种种五欲妙乐，于婇女中化应恣意八千岁。八千岁已，命终生他化自在天，为天王子。此第六天，其中欲乐，下五天中所不能 现代汉语译本： ‘人啊，要说正直的话，做正直的事，记住我说的话。’佛陀告诫他，‘就像火燃烧东西一样，最终不会徒劳无功。你仔细思考！’ 当时那位王子听了这些话后，非常忧愁恐惧，心情烦闷不快乐，接受了阿难（Ananda，佛陀十大弟子之一）的教导：‘我应当出家，请允许我再享受六天的快乐。第七天，我将告别家人眷属，一定出家。’阿难答应了他。 第七天，因为畏惧生死，他请求佛陀出家，佛陀就答应了他。他仅仅用了一天一夜的时间，修持清净的戒律，就去世了。焚烧遗体完毕后，尊者阿难和他的眷属，去禀告佛陀说：‘世尊！这位鞞罗羡那（Virūpasena）比丘，现在已经去世了，他的神识投生到哪里去了呢？’ 当时佛陀、世尊、天人之师、一切智人，用洪亮的梵音，胜过雷鸣和迦陵频伽（Kalaviṅka，一种美妙的鸟）的各种美妙声音，用八种音调告诉阿难说：‘这位鞞罗羡那比丘，因为畏惧生死和地狱的痛苦，舍弃欲望而出家。仅仅用了一天一夜的时间，持守清净的戒律，因此舍弃此世后，投生到四天王天，成为北方天王毗沙门（Vaiśravaṇa）的儿子，随心所欲地享受五欲的快乐。他贪恋享受五欲，与众多婇女共同娱乐，寿命五百岁。五百岁后，命终转生到三十三天，成为帝释（Indra）的儿子。充分地享受五欲，享受极乐的天界快乐，拥有美妙的天女，随心所欲地享受一千岁。寿命结束后，投生到焰天，成为焰天王子，自在地享受天界的色、声、香、味、触，尽情地享受快乐。享受天界两千岁后，命终投生到兜率天，成为兜率天王子，随心所欲地享受五欲的快乐，用眼睛观看，彼此产生欲望，内心感到满足，经常谈论佛法，拥有解脱的智慧，寿命是天界的中等寿命。满了四千岁后，命终往生到自在天，成为天王子，享受种种五欲的妙乐，在众多婇女中随心所欲地变化，享受八千岁。八千岁后，命终投生到他化自在天，成为天王子。这第六天，其中的欲望快乐，是下方的五天所不能比拟的。’

English version: ‘Person, speak righteously, act righteously, remember what I say.’ The Buddha admonished him, ‘Like fire burning things, it will not be in vain in the end. Think carefully!’ At that time, that prince, hearing these words, was very worried and fearful, his mood was depressed and unhappy, and he accepted Ananda's (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) teaching: ‘I should renounce the world, please allow me to enjoy six more days of pleasure. On the seventh day, I will bid farewell to my family and relatives, and I will definitely renounce the world.’ Ananda agreed to him. On the seventh day, because he feared birth and death, he asked the Buddha to renounce the world, and the Buddha agreed to him. He spent only one day and one night cultivating pure precepts, and then he passed away. After the cremation was completed, Venerable Ananda and his family went to report to the Buddha, saying: ‘World Honored One! This Bhikshu Virūpasena, has now passed away, where has his spirit been reborn?’ At that time, the Buddha, the World Honored One, the teacher of gods and humans, the all-knowing one, with a loud Brahma voice, surpassing the thunder and the various wonderful sounds of the Kalaviṅka (a beautiful bird), told Ananda in eight tones: ‘This Bhikshu Virūpasena, because he feared birth, death, and the suffering of hell, abandoned desires and renounced the world. Because he observed pure precepts for only one day and one night, he abandoned this world and was reborn in the Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings, becoming the son of the Northern Heavenly King Vaiśravaṇa, enjoying the pleasures of the five desires at will. He was greedy for the enjoyment of the five desires, and enjoyed himself with many consorts, living for five hundred years. After five hundred years, his life ended and he was reborn in the Heaven of the Thirty-three, becoming the son of Indra. He fully enjoyed the five desires, enjoying the extreme happiness of the heavenly realm, possessing wonderful heavenly women, enjoying himself at will for a thousand years. When his life ended, he was reborn in the Yama Heaven, becoming the prince of the Yama Heaven, freely enjoying the heavenly forms, sounds, smells, tastes, and touches, indulging in pleasure to his heart's content. After enjoying the heavenly realm for two thousand years, his life ended and he was reborn in the Tushita Heaven, becoming the prince of the Tushita Heaven, enjoying the pleasures of the five desires at will, looking at each other with desire, his heart feeling satisfied, constantly talking about the Dharma, possessing the wisdom of liberation, his lifespan being the middle lifespan of the heavenly realm. After four thousand years, his life ended and he was reborn in the Svargaloka Heaven, becoming the heavenly prince, enjoying various wonderful pleasures of the five desires, transforming at will among the many consorts, enjoying eight thousand years. After eight thousand years, his life ended and he was reborn in the Paranirmita-vasavartin Heaven, becoming the heavenly prince. The pleasures of desire in this sixth heaven are incomparable to those in the five heavens below.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

及。生此中已，受最妙乐，众乐之藏。受此乐时，心极迷醉，具足受于诸妙胜乐，万六千岁。如是受乐，于六欲天，往来七反。此毗罗羡那，以一日一夜出家故，满二十劫，不堕地狱、饿鬼、畜生，常生天人，受福自然。最后人中，生富乐家，财富珍宝具足。壮年已过，诸根熟时，畏恶生、老、病、死患故，厌世出家，剃除须发故，身披法服，勤修精进，持四威仪，常行正念，观于五阴苦、空、无我，解法因缘，成辟支佛，名毗流帝。于是时，放大光明，多有人、天，生于善根，令诸群生种于三乘解脱因缘。” 尔时阿难叉手，白佛言：“世尊！若当有人放人出家，若有出家者，任其所须，得几所福？若复有人，毁破他人出家因缘，受何罪报？唯愿世尊具尽告示！” 佛告阿难：“汝若具满于百岁中，问我此事，我以无尽智慧，除饮食时，满百岁中，广为汝说此人功德，犹不能尽。是人恒生天上、人中，常为国王，受天、人乐。若有于此沙门法中使人出家，若复营佐出家因缘，于生死中常受快乐。我满百岁，说其福德，不可穷尽。是故阿难！汝满百岁，尽寿问我，我至涅槃，说此功德，亦不能尽。” 佛告阿难：“若复有人破坏他人出家因缘，即为劫夺无尽善财福藏，坏三十七助菩提法、涅槃之因 及。生于此中之后，便能享受最美好的快乐，是所有快乐的宝藏。享受这些快乐的时候，内心极其迷醉，完全地享受各种美妙殊胜的快乐，长达一万六千年。这样享受快乐，在六欲天中，往来七次。这位毗罗羡那（Virocana），因为一日一夜出家的缘故，满二十劫的时间，不会堕入地狱、饿鬼、畜生道，常常出生在天界和人间，自然地享受福报。最后在人间，出生在富裕快乐的家庭，财富珍宝充足。壮年过后，各种感官成熟的时候，因为畏惧丑恶的出生、衰老、疾病、死亡的祸患，厌恶世俗而出家，剃除须发，身穿袈裟，勤奋修行精进，遵守四种威仪，常常保持正念，观察五蕴是苦、空、无我的，理解法的因缘，成就辟支佛（Pratyekabuddha），名为毗流帝（Virodhi）。那时，放出巨大的光明，许多人天因此种下善根，使众多众生种下三乘解脱的因缘。” 这时，阿难（Ananda）合掌，对佛说：“世尊！如果有人帮助他人出家，或者对于出家的人，供给他们所需要的，能得到多少福报？如果有人，毁坏他人出家的因缘，会受到什么样的罪报？希望世尊详细地告诉我！” 佛告诉阿难（Ananda）：“你如果用整整一百年的时间，来问我这件事，我用无尽的智慧，除了吃饭的时间，用整整一百年的时间，广泛地为你讲述这个人的功德，还是不能说完。这个人恒常出生在天上、人间，常常做国王，享受天上的快乐和人间的快乐。如果有人在这个沙门（Sramana）的佛法中使人出家，或者帮助促成出家的因缘，在生死轮回中常常享受快乐。我用整整一百年的时间，说他的福德，也是说不完的。所以阿难（Ananda）！你用整整一百年的寿命来问我，我直到涅槃（Nirvana），说这个功德，也不能说完。” 佛告诉阿难（Ananda）：“如果有人破坏他人出家的因缘，就等于劫夺了无尽的善财福报，破坏了三十七道品（thirty-seven factors of enlightenment）、涅槃（Nirvana）的因。
