t17n0730 sutra spoken by the buddha on various places.g2.0f

English

English version The precept constantly desires to surpass other monks. ‘Śāriputra! Take a bowl of water and put it into the sea, stir and scoop it in the water, and go to fetch the original water away tomorrow morning. Śāriputra is still able to do this, let alone the Buddha! Maudgalyāyana was beaten by people and did not fly away because he did not attain supernatural powers. Why couldn't he use supernatural powers? Because the sins were not finished.’ The Buddha said: ‘King Vekkasa (name pending verification) went to the twelve gates and returned, not knowing the six parts in his body. Holding the intention, he can practice the Tao, but he does not know that the body is born from the mind and the mind is born from the body, and he cannot distinguish these. The Buddha knew that he could be saved, so he went to stay overnight, but the king did not know that he was the Buddha. The Buddha asked: ‘What Dharma does the king practice, and what Tao does he like?’ The king's hair stood on end. The Buddha explained to him that the things in the body are empty, and then he attained the Tao. But he did not completely cut off the afflictions, so he did not attain the Arhat.’ The Buddha said: ‘Practitioners should know that the mind can lead to the Tao.’ The Buddha said: ‘In the past, there was a person named Culapanthaka (name pending verification) who studied the scriptures for twenty-four years and obtained the five-word solution to dirt, abandonment, and separation, and he was no longer worried. Why? Because he had seen five hundred Buddhas in his previous life, and he fully understood all the scriptures, but he closed the scriptures and refused to teach others. Later, he became ill for twenty-four days, and he regretted it when he was dying, and he asked people to teach him. Because of this blessing, he knew the five words, let alone fully teaching others, the merit he obtained is immeasurable (Zhuli Pantuo is written as Zhuli Pantuo in other works).’ The Buddha said: ‘In the past, there was a monk named Channa who became ill, and the Buddha sent Śāriputra to beg for food for him. Śāriputra therefore asked him: ‘Does your eye recognize anything?’ Channa replied: ‘The eye does not recognize anything, but only sees colors. Recognition arises, the body arises, and pain follows, so there is illness, and the body does not know death. If the body dies, earth, water, fire, wind, and space will all be destroyed, but consciousness will be transferred to be reborn.’ ‘The Buddha sent Śāriputra to beg for food, passing by the house of **, the woman closed the door and pretended to be repairing the road, and said to Śāriputra: ‘If you don't have sex with me, I will jump into this big fire.’ Śāriputra replied: ‘I would rather jump into this fire than have sex with you.’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

共淫,淫使人堕恶道无有出时。’天便来下救之。佛言:‘人但不能守戒,若能守者,终不忧为邪道所中。’”   佛言:“昔有一比丘,坐禅行道,佛弟难陀饮酒醉,数往来到其边歌戏。比丘白佛言:‘我欲避之去。’佛言:‘不须,是难陀于今当得道迹。’佛即遣阿难往到其家,摩诃迦叶随其后。舍利弗为说经,目揵连现神足,难陀便欢喜,即得道迹。佛说比丘行道,当但坚心者,何忧不得道?比丘闻佛说此语,欢喜意解便得阿罗汉。”   佛姑子名须那察多,随侍佛八年,便生念:“与我兄弟俱行,而独端正有三十二相。”便恶意生。随佛后扫佛迹,不令人见佛相,复于人中说佛无道,但言语中人意耳。舍利弗、阿难闻之,便愁忧不乐。佛言:“须那察多不为说我恶,为称誉佛功德耳。言语中人意者,人意多病故。”佛语舍利弗:“须那察多不挍计但瞋耳,何以故不计?佛有三十二相光明神足,但降伏邪道故。”佛数教诫须那察多,正真之言是邪待之祷,是故瞋耳。   佛有姑姊,年老手自作金缕织,成袈裟,持上佛。佛不受。如是复言:“佛当哀怜我故,当受之令我得福。”阿难白佛言:“可为我受之?”佛语阿难:“令持与诸比丘僧。我亦是比丘僧,不如与众人,后世当为因缘。今世相见欢喜 现代汉语译本:‘共同邪淫,邪淫会使人堕入恶道,永无出头之日。’于是天神便下凡来救助他。佛说:‘人只要不能持守戒律,如果能持守戒律,最终不会担心被邪道所侵扰。’ 佛说:‘过去有一位比丘(bhiksu,佛教出家男众),坐禅修行,佛的弟弟难陀(Nanda,佛陀的堂弟)喝醉了酒,多次到他身边唱歌嬉戏。’比丘对比丘(佛陀)说:‘我想避开他离开这里。’佛说:‘不必,这难陀(Nanda)如今应当证得道迹(正在修行道路上)。’佛立即派阿难(Ananda,佛陀十大弟子之一)前往他家,摩诃迦叶(Mahakasyapa,佛陀十大弟子之一)紧随其后。舍利弗(Sariputra,佛陀十大弟子之一)为他说经,目犍连(Maudgalyayana,佛陀十大弟子之一)展现神足通,难陀(Nanda)便心生欢喜,立即证得道迹(正在修行道路上)。佛说比丘(bhiksu)修行,只要坚定内心,何愁不能得道?’比丘(bhiksu)听了佛说的这些话,欢喜开悟,便证得了阿罗汉(Arhat,断尽烦恼,证入涅槃的圣者)。 佛的姑母的儿子名叫须那察多(Sunaksatra,人名),跟随侍奉佛八年,便生起念头:‘我和我的兄弟一起修行,而他独自端正,具有三十二相(Mahapurusa Laksana,佛的三十二种殊胜的相貌)。’便生起恶意。跟随在佛的后面扫掉佛的足迹,不让人看见佛的相,又在人群中说佛没有道,只是言语中合乎人意罢了。舍利弗(Sariputra)、阿难(Ananda)听了这些话,便忧愁不乐。佛说:‘须那察多(Sunaksatra)不是在说我的坏话,而是在称赞佛的功德啊。说言语中合乎人意,是因为人意念多病啊。’佛告诉舍利弗(Sariputra):‘须那察多(Sunaksatra)不计较,只是在嗔怒罢了,为什么不计较呢?佛有三十二相(Mahapurusa Laksana),光明神足,只是为了降伏邪道罢了。’佛多次教诫须那察多(Sunaksatra),正真的言语,是邪道所等待的,所以他才嗔怒啊。 佛有一位姑母的姐姐,年老了,亲手用金线织成袈裟(kasaya,佛教僧侣所穿的法衣),献给佛。佛没有接受。姑母的姐姐又说:‘佛应当怜悯我,应当接受它,让我得到福报。’阿难(Ananda)对比丘(佛陀)说:‘可以为我接受它吗?’佛告诉阿难(Ananda):‘让她拿去给各位比丘僧(bhiksu sangha,佛教僧团)。我也是比丘僧(bhiksu sangha),不如给众人,后世当成为因缘。今生相见欢喜。

English version: 'To commit adultery together, adultery causes people to fall into evil paths with no time to escape.' Then the heavenly beings came down to save him. The Buddha said, 'People just cannot keep the precepts; if they can keep them, they will not worry about being affected by evil paths.' The Buddha said: 'In the past, there was a bhiksu (monk), who was practicing meditation. Nanda (Buddha's cousin), the Buddha's brother, was drunk and repeatedly came to his side to sing and play.' The bhiksu (monk) said to the Buddha: 'I want to avoid him and leave.' The Buddha said: 'No need, this Nanda (Buddha's cousin) should attain the path soon.' The Buddha immediately sent Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) to his home, with Mahakasyapa (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) following behind. Sariputra (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) explained the scriptures to him, and Maudgalyayana (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) displayed his supernatural powers. Nanda (Buddha's cousin) was delighted and immediately attained the path. The Buddha said that when a bhiksu (monk) practices, as long as he is firm in his heart, why worry about not attaining the path?' The bhiksu (monk) heard these words of the Buddha, was delighted and enlightened, and attained Arhat (one who has extinguished all afflictions and entered Nirvana). The Buddha's aunt's son was named Sunaksatra (name of a person), who served the Buddha for eight years, and then he had the thought: 'I practice with my brothers, but he alone is handsome and has the thirty-two marks (Mahapurusa Laksana, the thirty-two auspicious marks of the Buddha).' Then he had malicious thoughts. He followed behind the Buddha and swept away the Buddha's footprints, not allowing people to see the Buddha's marks, and also said among the people that the Buddha had no path, but only spoke in accordance with people's intentions. Sariputra (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) and Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) heard these words and were sad and unhappy. The Buddha said: 'Sunaksatra (name of a person) is not speaking ill of me, but praising the Buddha's merits. Saying that he speaks in accordance with people's intentions is because people's minds are often sick.' The Buddha told Sariputra (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha): 'Sunaksatra (name of a person) does not calculate, but is only angry. Why does he not calculate? The Buddha has the thirty-two marks (Mahapurusa Laksana), bright and divine feet, but only to subdue evil paths.' The Buddha repeatedly taught Sunaksatra (name of a person), the true words are what the evil paths are waiting for, so he is angry. The Buddha had an aunt's older sister, who was old and made a kasaya (Buddhist monastic robe) with gold thread by hand and offered it to the Buddha. The Buddha did not accept it. The aunt's older sister said again: 'The Buddha should have compassion on me and accept it so that I may receive blessings.' Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) said to the Buddha: 'Can you accept it for me?' The Buddha told Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha): 'Let her give it to the bhiksu sangha (Buddhist monastic community). I am also a bhiksu sangha (Buddhist monastic community), it is better to give it to the people, it will be a cause in future lives. Meeting each other in this life is joyful.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

者,皆是前世亲里善知识。何以故知之?相见意解故。”佛言:“世间人相待,但苦薄不苦厚。”   佛言:“本侍佛者字弥喜,次字须那察多,次字阿难。”佛告诸比丘:“我年老欲得一人侍我。”舍利弗、摩诃迦叶、目揵连等,各自愿侍佛。佛言:“不得。”摩诃迦叶、目揵连,因禅思惟,知佛欲得阿难,便呼阿难言:“卿当侍佛。”阿难言:“我不敢侍佛,我不能侍佛。”目揵连言:“不得不侍佛。”阿难言:“当听我四事:一者、佛余衣我不欲受;二者、佛余饭我不用;三者、若有人请佛,诸比丘不行,我亦不行;四者、佛坐禅思道时,我当出入得自在。”佛言:“大善,听汝所愿。”于是阿难因侍佛,是故阿难独能问佛。   佛弟子阿那律、难提、金毗罗三人共坐,自思惟七事:一者、少欲得道,多欲不得道;二者、知足得道,不知足不得道;三者、精进得道,不精进不得道;四者、守六衰使不起得道,不守六衰,放使起者不得道;五者、自护得道,不自护不得道;六者、守意得道,不守意不得道;七者、智慧得道,不智慧不得道;共思惟七事。时去佛六十里。佛时坐禅,即知三人所念,便移意往坐三人前言:“善哉!善哉!我复语汝一事:不念家欲得道、念家欲不得道。”于是三人欢喜,即得菩 现代汉语译本: ‘这些人都是前世的亲戚和善知识。’ 为什么知道呢?因为(我们)相见时心意相通。’ 佛说:‘世间人相待,只怕关系淡薄不怕关系深厚。’ 佛说:‘最初侍奉我的叫弥喜(Mihixi),其次叫须那察多(Sunacatta),再次叫阿难(Ananda)。’ 佛告诉众比丘:‘我年老了,想找一个人侍奉我。’ 舍利弗(Sariputta)、摩诃迦叶(Mahakasyapa)、目犍连(Moggallana)等,各自愿意侍奉佛。佛说:‘不行。’ 摩诃迦叶、目犍连,通过禅定思惟,知道佛想让阿难侍奉,便呼唤阿难说:‘你应该侍奉佛。’ 阿难说:‘我不敢侍奉佛,我不能侍奉佛。’ 目犍连说:‘不得不侍奉佛。’ 阿难说:‘要听我的四件事:第一,佛剩下的衣服我不想要;第二,佛剩下的饭我不用;第三,如果有人请佛,其他比丘不去,我也不去;第四,佛坐禅思道时,我应当出入得自在。’ 佛说:‘很好,听从你的愿望。’ 于是阿难因此侍奉佛,所以阿难独自能够问佛。 佛弟子阿那律(Anuruddha)、难提(Nandi)、金毗罗(Kimbila)三人一起坐着,各自思惟七件事:第一,少欲才能得道,多欲不能得道;第二,知足才能得道,不知足不能得道;第三,精进才能得道,不精进不能得道;第四,守护六衰使之不生起才能得道,不守护六衰,放纵它们生起就不能得道;第五,自我守护才能得道,不自我守护不能得道;第六,守护意念才能得道,不守护意念不能得道;第七,有智慧才能得道,没有智慧不能得道。’ 他们一起思惟这七件事。当时距离佛六十里。佛当时正在坐禅,立刻知道这三人所想,便用意念移动到三人面前说:‘好啊!好啊!我再告诉你们一件事:不思念家才能得道,思念家就不能得道。’ 于是三人欢喜,立刻得到菩提。
