大正藏第 17 册 No. 0740 佛说頞多和多耆经 No. 740 佛说頞多和多耆经 失译人今附西晋录 闻如是： 一时佛在为耶国时有多树木处，与众比丘僧俱，比丘有五百人。月十五日盛满时，夜半寂然安静，比丘僧自相难问。时栴檀调弗天人，持天形状威神光耀来，直前趣佛。至佛前已，悉脱身上珍宝着一面，但披一领衣，前以头面着佛足，礼毕问佛言：“诸可过去佛正觉弟子有经，经名頞多和多耆，佛弟子今亦复说是頞多和多耆经，愿佛为我说是经，当使弟子奉持。”佛默然不应。栴檀调弗，稽首而却坐。 佛即为比丘僧说经言：“我为若说頞多和多耆经，皆听着心中，念之勿得忘。” 比丘言：“愿佛说，我皆当受经戒。” 佛言：“布施有八事。何谓为八？愚痴人布施，但布施不知其恩善所在。既布施不达世间无有常，痴人持作常。世间苦无极，愚人持作乐。世间所有，愚人言，是我所有可常得。世间人皆颠倒，不净臭处恶露，愚人用作好，不知作善得善，作恶得恶，愚人施与人，不知其人德深浅，持善心施与得道者，福不可量。” 佛告诸比丘：“何以知？愚人不知布施有十因缘。何等为十？愚人布施不知为尊自用所与 现代汉语译本 《佛说頞多和多耆经》 失译者姓名已不可考，现依附于西晋时期的记录。 我听闻是这样的： 一时，佛陀在为耶国（Vaisali）的多树林处，与五百位比丘僧众在一起。在月圆之夜的十五日，夜半时分，万籁俱寂，比丘僧众们互相请教疑问。这时，栴檀调弗天人（Candana Devaputra），以天人的威严和光芒显现，径直来到佛陀面前。到达佛陀面前后，他脱下身上的珍宝放在一旁，只披着一件袈裟，以头面触碰佛陀的双足，行礼完毕后向佛陀问道：‘过去诸佛正觉的弟子们有流传一部经典，名为《頞多和多耆经》（Atavatagiya Sutra），佛陀的弟子们现在也同样在说这部《頞多和多耆经》。希望佛陀能为我宣说这部经典，我当奉持。’佛陀默然不语。栴檀调弗天人，叩首后退坐在一旁。 佛陀随即为比丘僧众宣说此经，说道：‘我为你们宣说《頞多和多耆经》，你们都要用心听着，牢记在心，不要忘记。’ 比丘们说道：‘希望佛陀宣说，我们都将接受经中的教诫。’ 佛陀说道：‘布施有八种情况。哪八种呢？愚痴的人布施，只是布施，却不知道布施的恩德和善报在哪里。已经布施了，却不明白世间万物都是无常的，愚痴的人认为布施是永恒不变的。世间的痛苦没有尽头，愚痴的人却认为世间是快乐的。世间的所有事物，愚痴的人说，是‘我’所拥有的，可以永远得到。世间的人都颠倒错乱，把不干净、恶臭的污秽之物，愚痴的人却认为美好，不知道行善会得到善报，作恶会得到恶报。愚痴的人施舍给他人，不知道那个人德行深浅，以善良的心施舍给得道的人，福报是不可估量的。’ 佛陀告诉诸位比丘：‘凭什么知道呢？愚痴的人不知道布施有十种因缘。哪十种呢？愚痴的人布施，不知道要尊敬长辈，只顾自己使用和给予。’

English version The Sutra Spoken by the Buddha on Atavatagiya Translator lost to history, now appended to the records of the Western Jin Dynasty. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in a place with many trees in the country of Vaisali (为耶国), together with a sangha of five hundred bhikkhus. On the fifteenth day of the full moon, in the stillness of midnight, the bhikkhus were questioning each other. At that time, Candana Devaputra (栴檀调弗天人), manifesting the majestic and radiant form of a deva, went directly to the Buddha. Upon arriving before the Buddha, he removed all the jewels from his body and placed them to one side, wearing only a single robe. He prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and after paying homage, asked the Buddha: 'The disciples of the Buddhas of the past, who attained perfect enlightenment, have a sutra called the Atavatagiya Sutra (頞多和多耆经). The Buddha's disciples now also speak of this Atavatagiya Sutra. I hope the Buddha will expound this sutra for me, so that I may uphold it.' The Buddha remained silent. Candana Devaputra bowed his head and retreated to sit to one side. The Buddha then spoke this sutra to the sangha of bhikkhus, saying: 'I will expound the Atavatagiya Sutra for you. Listen carefully, keep it in your hearts, and do not forget it.' The bhikkhus said: 'We hope the Buddha will expound it, and we will all receive the precepts of the sutra.' The Buddha said: 'There are eight aspects of giving. What are the eight? A foolish person gives, but only gives, not knowing where the merit and goodness of giving lie. Having given, they do not understand that all things in the world are impermanent; a foolish person considers giving to be permanent. The suffering of the world is endless, but a foolish person considers the world to be joyful. All things in the world, a foolish person says, are 'mine' and can be obtained forever. The people of the world are all deluded, considering unclean, foul-smelling filth to be beautiful; a foolish person does not know that doing good brings good results, and doing evil brings evil results. A foolish person gives to others, not knowing the depth of their virtue; giving with a good heart to those who have attained the Way brings immeasurable blessings.' The Buddha told the bhikkhus: 'How do you know? A foolish person does not know that there are ten causes and conditions for giving. What are the ten? A foolish person gives, not knowing to respect elders, only caring about their own use and giving.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

者得善；愚人不至心施与人也；愚人既施与人与时不敬重，不自手与，传教人与施，人不欲望其福，不即得其福者，自用忘其福；愚人施与佛辟支佛阿罗汉，不能自知其福大；愚人施与，不信佛、辟支佛、阿罗汉、阿那含、斯陀含、须陀洹，皆用为弃损，无有后生；愚人施与，欲但得名字，欲使人称誉。是为愚人布施。” 佛说经已，栴檀调弗，及诸比丘，皆欢喜，前为佛作礼。 佛说頞多和多耆经 现代汉语译本：这样的人才能得到善报；愚笨的人不真心诚意地施舍给别人；愚笨的人即使施舍给别人，给予的时候也不恭敬重视，不亲自用手给予，而是转手教别人给予，这样的人不期望得到福报，也就不能立即得到福报，自己用掉了反而忘记了福报；愚笨的人施舍给佛（Buddha，觉悟者）、辟支佛（Pratyekabuddha，缘觉或独觉）、阿罗汉（Arhat，断尽烦恼的圣者），却不能自己知道这样做福报很大；愚笨的人施舍，却不相信佛、辟支佛、阿罗汉、阿那含（Anagamin，不还果）、斯陀含（Sakrdagamin，一来果）、须陀洹（Srotapanna，入流果），都认为这些是无用的损失，没有来世的福报；愚笨的人施舍，只是为了得到名声，想要别人称赞。这就是愚笨的人的布施。’ 佛说完这部经后，栴檀调弗（Candana Tāvatiṁsa，人名），以及各位比丘（Bhikkhu，出家修行的僧人），都非常欢喜，上前向佛行礼。 佛说頞多和多耆经（Aṭṭhakavagga，八品经）

English version: 'Such a person obtains goodness; a foolish person does not sincerely give to others; even if a foolish person gives to others, they do not respect the giving, nor do they give with their own hands, but instruct others to give, such a person does not expect blessings, and thus does not immediately receive blessings, using them up and forgetting the blessings; a foolish person gives to the Buddha (Buddha, the awakened one), Pratyekabuddha (Pratyekabuddha, a solitary awakened one), and Arhat (Arhat, a perfected being who has extinguished all defilements), but does not know that doing so brings great blessings; a foolish person gives, but does not believe in the Buddha, Pratyekabuddha, Arhat, Anagamin (Anagamin, a non-returner), Sakrdagamin (Sakrdagamin, a once-returner), or Srotapanna (Srotapanna, a stream-enterer), considering all of these as useless losses, without future blessings; a foolish person gives only to gain fame, wanting others to praise them. This is the giving of a foolish person.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, Candana Tāvatiṁsa (Candana Tāvatiṁsa, a personal name), and all the Bhikkhus (Bhikkhu, monks), were delighted and bowed to the Buddha. The Buddha spoke the Aṭṭhakavagga (Aṭṭhakavagga, the Book of Eights). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
