大正藏第 17 册 No. 0739 佛说慢法经 No. 739 佛说慢法经 西晋沙门法炬译 佛告阿难：“有人事佛以后便富贵；有人事佛以后衰丧不利者。” 阿难问佛：“云何俱事佛，衰、利不同？何故得尔？” 佛语阿难：“有人事佛，当求明师；得了了者，从受戒法。为除诸想，与经相应；精进奉行，不失其教。受者不犯，如毛发者，是人不犯道禁，常为诸天、善神侍卫拥护，所向谐偶，财利百倍，众人所敬，后当得佛，何况富利！如是人辈事佛，为真佛弟子。 “又复有人事佛，不值明师，亦无经像，又复不礼敬。不知不解，强教人受法戒，无有至信。受戒之后，故复犯众戒。心意蒙冥、犹豫，不肯读经、行道、作福，乍信、乍不信。复不能念斋日、烧香、燃灯作礼。故复瞋恚、嚾呼、骂詈，出入咒咀，口初不合，心怀憎嫉，使人杀生。眼见经像，无有礼敬之心。若其有经，趣挂着壁，或掷床席之上，或着故衣被弊筐器中，或以妻子、小儿不净手弄之；烟熏屋漏，不复瞻视；亦不烧香、燃灯向之作礼，与外经书无异。善神离之，恶鬼得其便，随逐不置，因衰病之。适得疾病，恐怖犹豫，自念言：‘我初事佛，云何故复疾病也？’不能自信，呼 现代汉语译本 《佛说慢法经》 西晋沙门法炬译 佛陀告诉阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）: '有些人事奉佛以后便变得富贵；有些人事奉佛以后却衰败不利。' 阿难问佛: '为什么同样是事奉佛，结果却有衰败和顺利的不同？这是什么缘故呢？' 佛告诉阿难: '有些人事奉佛，应当寻求有智慧的老师（明师）；得到真正明了佛法的人，向他学习戒法。为了去除各种妄想，使自己的言行与佛经相应；精进地奉行佛法，不违背佛的教诲。受戒的人不违犯戒律，哪怕像毛发一样细小的过失也不犯，这样的人不违犯道的禁忌，常有诸天和善神侍卫拥护，所做的事情顺利如意，获得的财富利益百倍增长，受到众人的尊敬，将来能够成佛，更何况是富裕和利益呢！这样的人事奉佛，才是真正的佛弟子。 '还有些人事奉佛，遇不到有智慧的老师，也没有佛经佛像，又不礼敬佛法。对佛法一知半解，却勉强教别人受戒，没有真正的信心。受戒之后，又故意违犯各种戒律。心意昏昧、犹豫不定，不肯读经、修行、做善事，时而相信，时而不相信。又不能在斋日持斋、烧香、点灯、礼拜。常常发怒、喧哗、谩骂，出入时口出恶语，心中充满憎恨嫉妒，甚至指使别人杀生。眼睛看到佛经佛像，却没有礼敬之心。如果家里有佛经，就随便挂在墙上，或者扔在床席上，或者放在破旧的衣物和筐子里，或者让妻子、小孩用不干净的手去玩弄；被烟熏、被屋顶漏雨淋湿，也不再管它；也不烧香、点灯向佛经佛像礼拜，和对待其他的书没有什么区别。善神会离开他，恶鬼会趁机作祟，跟随他，使他衰败生病。一旦生了病，就感到恐惧和犹豫，心里想：‘我当初事奉佛，为什么还会生病呢？’不能够相信自己，呼喊……'

English version The Buddha Speaks the Sutra of Disrespect (Man Fa Jing) Translated by the Shramana Dharmaruchi of the Western Jin Dynasty The Buddha told Ananda (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha): 'Some people become wealthy and noble after serving the Buddha; others decline and suffer misfortune after serving the Buddha.' Ananda asked the Buddha: 'Why is it that those who serve the Buddha have different outcomes of decline and prosperity? What is the reason for this?' The Buddha told Ananda: 'Some people, when serving the Buddha, should seek a wise teacher (Ming Shi); obtain one who truly understands, and receive the precepts from them. In order to eliminate all delusions, align oneself with the sutras; diligently practice and uphold the teachings without fail. Those who receive the precepts do not violate them, not even the slightest offense like a strand of hair. Such people do not violate the prohibitions of the Path, and are constantly attended and protected by devas and benevolent spirits. Their endeavors are harmonious and successful, their wealth and benefits increase a hundredfold, they are respected by all, and in the future, they will attain Buddhahood, let alone wealth and benefit! Such people who serve the Buddha are true disciples of the Buddha. 'Furthermore, some people serve the Buddha but do not encounter a wise teacher, nor do they have sutras or images, and they also do not pay respects. They have little understanding, yet they force others to receive the precepts, lacking genuine faith. After receiving the precepts, they deliberately violate them. Their minds are clouded, hesitant, and unwilling to read the sutras, practice the Way, or perform meritorious deeds, sometimes believing and sometimes not. They also fail to observe the fast days, burn incense, light lamps, or perform prostrations. They often become angry, clamorous, scold, and curse, uttering evil words, their mouths never closed, harboring hatred and jealousy, even instigating others to kill. When they see sutras or images, they have no respect in their hearts. If they have sutras, they casually hang them on the wall, or throw them on the bed, or place them in old clothes and worn-out baskets, or allow their wives and children to play with them with unclean hands; they are smoked by smoke and leaked on by rain, and they no longer care for them; they also do not burn incense, light lamps, or prostrate to them, treating them no differently from external scriptures. Benevolent spirits leave them, and evil ghosts take advantage of them, following them and causing them to decline and become ill. When they become ill, they are terrified and hesitant, thinking to themselves: 'I initially served the Buddha, why am I still getting sick?' Unable to trust themselves, they cry out...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

使至医师。医师卜问、解除、镇厌无益，遂便祷赛邪神，众过遂增。妖魅恶鬼，屯守其门，遂便丧衰、死亡，不离门户。财产衰耗，家室病疾，更相注续，不离床席。命终罪辜，堕泥犁中，当被考治谪罚，无有岁数。是人但坐，不能专一，志意犹豫，无所专据，不信佛法，故得其罪殃，衰耗如是。 “世间人不知佛法者，谓呼事佛令得殃衰，不知其人行自不正，违犯佛经戒。心专行恶，众态具足，身自招之，无有与者。” 阿难闻之，便头面着地，为佛作礼，欢喜奉行。 佛说慢法经 现代汉语译本： 使人去找医生。医生占卜、解除、镇压邪祟都无济于事，于是就祈祷祭祀邪神，各种过错就更加增多。妖魔鬼怪，聚集在他们的门前，于是就衰败、死亡，不离开家门。财产衰减耗尽，家人疾病缠身，互相传染，一直躺在床上。命终之后因罪受罚，堕入泥犁（地狱）之中，应当被拷问惩治，没有期限。这个人只是因为不能专心一意，意志犹豫不定，没有专一的信仰，不相信佛法，所以才得到这样的罪恶报应，衰败耗损就是这样造成的。 ‘世间人不了解佛法的人，认为是因为信奉佛才导致灾祸衰败，却不知道是他们自己的行为不正，违背了佛经戒律。心中只想作恶，各种恶行都做尽，是自己招来的，没有人会给予他们这些。’ 阿难（佛陀的弟子）听了这些话，就头面着地，向佛作礼，欢喜地接受并遵行。 《佛说慢法经》

English version: They send for a physician. The physician's divination, exorcisms, and suppressions are of no avail, so they pray and make offerings to evil spirits, and their various transgressions increase. Demons and evil ghosts gather at their gates, and then decline and death do not leave their households. Their property dwindles, and their family members suffer from illnesses, infecting each other, remaining constantly in bed. After death, they are punished for their sins and fall into Naraka (hell), where they are interrogated and punished without end. This person suffers because they cannot be single-minded, their will is hesitant and uncertain, they have no focused faith, and they do not believe in the Buddha's teachings, thus they receive such sinful retribution, and decline and depletion occur in this way. ‘Those in the world who do not understand the Buddha's teachings think that worshipping the Buddha causes misfortune and decline, but they do not realize that their own actions are improper, violating the precepts of the Buddhist scriptures. Their minds are set on doing evil, and they commit all kinds of evil deeds. They bring this upon themselves, and no one gives it to them.’ Ananda (Buddha's disciple), upon hearing this, prostrated himself before the Buddha, rejoicing and vowing to follow these teachings.
