,  生作游空神。  宅舍乘饮食,  以此修惠施,  生作虚空神,  常与宫殿俱。  我已略分别,  畜生饿鬼趣;  今当次第说,  善道人天果。  修种种净行,  后生善趣中,  随业受果报,  今当如实说。  天人阿修罗,  欲求长寿者,  不害生为本,  慧者应当知。  慈愍不害生,  乐修诸功德,  坚固不倾动,  所生离诸难。  于诸群生类,  不捶打系缚,  由斯不恼业,  所生常无病。  未曾修布施,  亦不盗他财,  所生常短乏,  多求而少获。  能广行布施,  而复夺他物,  所生常得财,  随得寻复失。  常不盗他物,  时复行少施,  方便获财利,  所得恒不失。  常不盗他物,  兼复广行施,  所生辄大富,  得财常不失。  决定修斋戒,  所生遇正法,  众见悉爱乐,  名闻普流布。  身心常安乐,  易满知止足,  夷泰无忧恼,  质直修正行。  欲报所生恩,  信心修福业,  随其所生处,  常得父余财。  若以饮食施,  长寿好色力,  辩慧多财宝,  无病心安乐。  施衣得惭愧,  神仪高胜尊,  人相悉具足,  睹者莫不欣,  其身常安隐,  心 现代汉语译本: 若众生死后生为游空神(在空中游荡的神),是因为他们生前居住在宅舍中,享用饮食,并以此来修行布施,所以死后能成为游空神,常常与宫殿相伴。 我已经简略地分别讲述了畜生和饿鬼的去处,现在将依次说明善道人天的果报。 修行种种清净的行为,死后会转生到善趣之中,随着各自所造的业力而承受相应的果报,现在我将如实地讲述。 天人(deva)和阿修罗(asura),如果想要长寿,不杀害生命是根本,有智慧的人应当明白这个道理。慈悲怜悯而不杀害生命,乐于修习各种功德,心志坚定不为外物所动摇,这样出生后就能远离各种灾难。 对于各种众生,不捶打、不捆绑,因为这种不恼害众生的业力,所以出生后常常没有疾病。 如果生前不曾修行布施,也不偷盗他人的财物,那么出生后常常贫穷困乏,求取很多却很少获得。 如果能够广泛地行布施,却又夺取他人的财物,那么出生后常常能够得到财物,但得到后很快又会失去。 如果常常不偷盗他人的财物,但偶尔才行少许布施,那么能够方便地获得财利,所得的财物也能够保住不失。 如果常常不偷盗他人的财物,并且广泛地行布施,那么出生后往往非常富有,得到的财物也常常不会失去。 如果决心修持斋戒,那么出生后能够遇到正法,众人见到都会喜爱,名声也会广泛地流传。 身心常常安乐,容易满足且知足,生活安稳没有忧愁烦恼,心地正直并修正自己的行为。 如果想要报答父母的恩情,就应当以信心来修习福德善业,这样无论转生到哪里,常常能够得到父亲遗留下来的财产。 如果用饮食来布施,能够获得长寿、美好的容貌和体力、聪明的智慧和众多的财宝,没有疾病且内心安乐。 如果布施衣服,能够获得惭愧心,仪容高贵端庄,相貌都非常具足,见到的人没有不欢喜的,身体常常安稳,内心

English version: If beings are born as aerial spirits (those who roam in the sky) after death, it is because they lived in dwellings, enjoyed food and drink, and practiced generosity during their lifetime. Therefore, they can become aerial spirits after death, always accompanied by palaces. I have briefly distinguished the destinies of animals and hungry ghosts. Now I will explain the results of good paths, humans and devas (gods). By cultivating various pure practices, one will be reborn in good realms after death. According to the karma one has created, one will receive corresponding results. Now I will truthfully explain. Devas (gods) and asuras (demigods), if they desire longevity, not harming living beings is fundamental. Wise people should understand this principle. Compassionately not harming living beings, delighting in cultivating various merits, with a firm mind that is not swayed by external things, one will be born free from various calamities. Towards all kinds of sentient beings, not beating or binding them, because of this karma of not harming beings, one is often free from illness after birth. If one has never practiced generosity and does not steal the wealth of others, then one is often poor and destitute after birth, seeking much but obtaining little. If one can widely practice generosity but also takes away the wealth of others, then one can often obtain wealth after birth, but it is quickly lost after obtaining it. If one often does not steal the wealth of others but only occasionally gives a little, then one can conveniently obtain wealth and profit, and the wealth obtained can be kept without loss. If one often does not steal the wealth of others and also widely practices generosity, then one is often very wealthy after birth, and the wealth obtained is often not lost. If one is determined to observe precepts and fasts, then one can encounter the true Dharma after birth, and everyone who sees one will love one, and one's reputation will spread widely. One's body and mind are often peaceful and happy, easily satisfied and content, life is stable without worries or troubles, one's heart is upright and one corrects one's behavior. If one wants to repay the kindness of parents, one should cultivate meritorious deeds with faith, so that wherever one is reborn, one can often receive the property left by one's father. If one gives food and drink as alms, one can obtain longevity, beautiful appearance and strength, intelligent wisdom and abundant wealth, freedom from illness and peace of mind. If one gives clothing as alms, one can obtain a sense of shame, a noble and dignified appearance, and all the physical characteristics are complete. Those who see one cannot help but rejoice, one's body is often stable, and one's mind is

适恒喜欢。  施屋得舍宅,  宫殿极严丽,  宝藏悉盈满,  众具随所欲。  若施井浴池,  及与净水浆,  生生无渴乏,  所欲常随意。  桥船济未渡,  履屣施徒跣,  常得象马车,  是则人中天。  若以园林施,  常获胜妙果,  一切所依荫,  心安无热恼,  众人所爱乐,  眷属悉具足。  若人施医药,  后生得无病,  长寿常安乐,  具足色力财;  无量百千世,  不经疫疾劫,  终遇法医王,  永拔生死根。  造厕除众秽,  后无便利患,  身心常清净,  见者莫不欢,  缘是离诸垢,  究竟获大安。  若为生天上,  或复求名闻,  酬恩及望报,  恐怖故行施,  获果不清净,  所受多粗涩。  祖先建立施,  子孙续不绝,  所生蒙遗庆,  无量余财宝。  常叹施功德,  有财而不舍,  所生恒贫匮,  欲施无财物。  常叹布施德,  愍念常周恤,  所生得大富。  不乐修福业,  常乐修智慧,  而不行布施,  所生常聪哲,  贫窭无财产。  唯乐行布施,  而不修智慧,  所生得大财,  愚闇无知见。  施慧二俱修,  所生具财智;  二俱不修者,  长夜处贫闇 现代汉语译本 适恒(Shi Heng)喜欢。 施舍房屋得华丽的住宅,宫殿极其庄严美丽,宝藏充满,各种器具随心所欲。 如果施舍水井和浴池,以及干净的饮用水,生生世世都不会感到口渴,所希望的常常能如意。 架桥造船帮助人们渡河,施舍鞋子给赤脚的人,常常能得到象、马、车等交通工具,这样的人就是人中的天人。 如果施舍园林,常常获得殊胜美妙的果报,一切都能依靠树荫,内心安宁没有热恼,被众人所喜爱,眷属齐全。 如果有人施舍医药,后世会没有疾病,长寿且常常安乐,具备美好的容貌、力量和财富;无数百千世,不会经历瘟疫劫难,最终会遇到法医王(指佛陀),永远拔除生死轮回的根本。 建造厕所清除污秽,后世没有大小便的困扰,身心常常清净,见到的人没有不欢喜的,因此远离各种垢染,最终获得大安乐。 如果为了生天,或者为了求名闻,为了报答恩情或者希望得到回报,因为恐惧而行布施,获得的果报不清净,所感受的很多是粗糙涩滞的。 祖先建立的布施传统,子孙后代延续不断,所生之处蒙受祖先遗留的福庆,拥有无量的剩余财宝。 常常赞叹布施的功德,有财富却不肯施舍,所生之处常常贫困匮乏,想要布施却没有财物。 常常赞叹布施的功德,怜悯他人常常周济救助,所生之处得到大富。不喜欢修习福德之业,常常喜欢修习智慧,却不行布施,所生之处常常聪明有智慧,却贫穷没有财产。 只喜欢行布施,而不修习智慧,所生之处得到大财富,却愚昧没有知见。 布施和智慧两种都修习,所生之处具备财富和智慧;两种都不修习的人,长久处于贫困和黑暗之中。
