English version 'Not accepting advice from others is your heavy burden; eating without moderation, greedily indulging in the taste of alcohol, is your heavy burden; not having proper monastic robes, wearing secular clothing, is your heavy burden; outwardly appearing to follow the Dharma, but inwardly harboring flattery and deceit, is your heavy burden; not controlling the six senses (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind), breaking precepts, and indulging in desires, is your heavy burden; levying taxes from the people and building temples, is your heavy burden; worshiping ghost mothers and praying for blessings and wishes, is your heavy burden; falsely claiming to use the Buddha's teachings, using spells and incantations to cure illnesses, is your heavy burden; betraying the support of the community and violating the four major prohibitions (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, and lying), is your heavy burden; dwelling without a fixed abode, not returning to the temple monastery, is your heavy burden. Those who do not relinquish these burdens will fall into hell after death.' The Buddha said, 'There is a great white elephant, strong enough to move mountains, destroy land to form ravines, uproot trees, and shatter rocks; this elephant is incomparably strong, but if someone were to tie its feet with a single hair, the elephant would be crippled and unable to move again.' The Buddha told his disciples, 'You should understand this parable, you should think about it carefully! If there is a virtuous person who cultivates the Way at home, detests all that the world has to offer, understands that life is suffering, emptiness, and not-self, and constantly desires to leave the world, to renounce family and children for the sake of cultivating the Way, they should approach a wise teacher, receive and hold the monastic robes. On the day of departure, the wife and children weep with reluctance, lamenting with sorrowful voices, their words bitter and painful. When this virtuous person sees this scene, their heart feels lost and bewildered, their will immediately turns and changes, and they are deluded by their wife and children, no longer having the aspiration to leave home and cultivate, this is like tying the elephant's feet with a hair, making it unable to move again, and enduring decline for a long time!' The Buddha said, 'Nothing is stronger than the mind, the mind is an enemy, constantly deceiving and misleading people, the mind leads people to hell, the mind leads people to the realm of hungry ghosts, the mind leads people to the realm of animals, the mind leads people to the realms of gods and humans, all forms and appearances are created by the mind, the one who can subdue their mind and cultivate the Way, their strength is the greatest. I have struggled with my mind for countless kalpas, and only now have I attained Buddhahood, walking alone in the three realms, all of this is done by the mind. Of all fragrances, none is comparable to candana (sandalwood); its fragrance is immeasurable, and its price is more precious than the gold of Jambudvipa (the southern continent). Moreover, it can cure people's illnesses, if a person is poisoned, has a headache and fever, grind some candana powder, apply it to the affected area, or take it internally, the illness will be cured immediately, all beings, there is no one who does not wish to obtain it. Someone' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

大得栴檀香树，束薪卖之，无买之者。佛在世时，所说经法，令人得道，无不度者。般泥洹后，十二部经留在世间，动有卷数，无人视者，亦如栴檀，束薪卖之，无有买之者也。一切臭木，莫过伊兰，其臭毒恶，人见恶之，畏闻其气。伊兰栴檀生有四辈。何谓为四？一曰有栴檀树，伊兰绕之；二曰有伊兰树，栴檀围之；三曰有栴檀，栴檀自为丛林；四曰有伊兰，伊兰以相围绕。何谓栴檀伊兰绕之？有家长者，直信为道，妻子室内不从其教，奉邪倒见，祠祀鬼妖，不从教令，是谓栴檀伊兰绕之者也。何谓伊兰栴檀围之？有家长者，信邪倒见，祠祀鬼妖，妻子、儿妇、家内大小直信三尊，不失八斋，布施为德，六度不废。长者呵止，不从其教，窃避为之，是谓伊兰为主，栴檀围之者也。何谓栴檀栴檀以为丛林？有家长者为道，室家眷属，皆随其教，不相违戾，直信三尊，心意和同，是谓栴檀栴檀以为丛林者也。何谓伊兰伊兰自相围绕？有家长者，信邪倒见，具行十恶，祠祀鬼妖，阖门烹杀，意同欢喜，是谓伊兰伊兰自相围绕者也。此四辈因缘，皆由宿命意行不同，故令不和。是以律经明晓因缘，获罪福事，若祠祀家杀生，鬼饲不与从事，不食其饮食，若入山泽，见飞鸟走兽聚食，终不惊怛，断其食味。若见屠杀猪羊、网猎 现代汉语译本： 譬如有一棵巨大的栴檀香树（Candana，一种珍贵的香木），如果把它捆成柴火来卖，就没有人会买。佛陀在世的时候，所说的经法，能够使人得道，没有不能得度的。佛陀般涅槃（Parinirvana，佛陀的圆寂）之后，十二部经（Twelve Divisions of the Scriptures，佛教经典的不同分类）留在世间，动辄就有许多卷帙，却没有人去看，也就像栴檀香木一样，捆成柴火来卖，没有人会买。 一切臭木之中，没有比伊兰（Erandaka，一种臭木）更臭的了，它的臭味非常恶劣，人们见到它就厌恶，害怕闻到它的气味。伊兰和栴檀生长的情况有四种。哪四种呢？第一种是栴檀树，被伊兰缠绕；第二种是伊兰树，被栴檀包围；第三种是栴檀树，栴檀树自身形成丛林；第四种是伊兰树，伊兰树互相缠绕。 什么叫做栴檀被伊兰缠绕呢？有一位家长或长者，正直诚信地信奉佛道，但是他的妻子和家人不听从他的教导，信奉邪恶颠倒的见解，祭祀鬼神妖怪，不听从他的教令，这就是所谓的栴檀被伊兰缠绕。什么叫做伊兰被栴檀包围呢？有一位家长或长者，信奉邪恶颠倒的见解，祭祀鬼神妖怪，但是他的妻子、儿媳、家中的大小都正直诚信地信奉三宝（Three Jewels，佛、法、僧），不违背八斋戒（Eight Precepts，佛教的戒律），布施行善，六度（Six Perfections，布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧）不废止。长者呵斥阻止，他们不听从他的教导，偷偷地去做，这就是所谓的伊兰为主，栴檀包围。 什么叫做栴檀树自身形成丛林呢？有一位家长或长者信奉佛道，他的家人和眷属，都随从他的教导，不互相违背，正直诚信地信奉三宝，心意和睦相同，这就是所谓的栴檀树自身形成丛林。什么叫做伊兰树互相缠绕呢？有一位家长或长者，信奉邪恶颠倒的见解，完全奉行十恶业（Ten Non-virtuous Actions，杀生、偷盗、邪淫、妄语、两舌、恶口、绮语、贪欲、嗔恚、邪见），祭祀鬼神妖怪，全家一起烹杀牲畜，心意相同，感到欢喜，这就是所谓的伊兰树互相缠绕。 这四种情况的因缘，都是由于前世的意念和行为不同，所以导致不和。因此律经明白晓示因缘，关于获得罪业或福报的事情，如果祭祀的家庭杀生，用来喂养鬼神，不要参与这些事情，不吃他们的饮食。如果进入山林沼泽，看见飞鸟走兽聚集在一起吃东西，始终不要惊吓驱赶它们，断绝它们的食物。如果看见屠宰猪羊、设下罗网进行狩猎

English version: It is like a large Candana (sandalwood) tree, if you bundle it into firewood and sell it, no one will buy it. When the Buddha was in the world, the Dharma (teachings) he spoke enabled people to attain enlightenment, and there was no one who could not be liberated. After the Buddha's Parinirvana (final departure), the Twelve Divisions of the Scriptures (different categories of Buddhist texts) remained in the world, often in many volumes, but no one looked at them. It is just like the Candana, bundled into firewood and sold, with no one to buy it. Among all foul-smelling woods, none is worse than Erandaka (castor oil plant), its odor is extremely unpleasant, people hate to see it and fear to smell its scent. There are four kinds of situations in which Erandaka and Candana grow. What are the four? The first is a Candana tree, entwined by Erandaka; the second is an Erandaka tree, surrounded by Candana; the third is Candana, with Candana forming a forest; the fourth is Erandaka, with Erandaka mutually entwined. What is meant by Candana being entwined by Erandaka? There is a head of household or elder, who sincerely believes in the Buddhist path, but his wife and family do not follow his teachings, adhering to evil and inverted views, worshiping ghosts and demons, and not following his commands. This is what is meant by Candana being entwined by Erandaka. What is meant by Erandaka being surrounded by Candana? There is a head of household or elder, who believes in evil and inverted views, worshiping ghosts and demons, but his wife, daughters-in-law, and all members of the household sincerely believe in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), do not violate the Eight Precepts (moral guidelines), give alms and perform virtuous deeds, and do not abandon the Six Perfections (generosity, morality, patience, diligence, concentration, wisdom). The elder scolds and stops them, but they do not follow his teachings, secretly doing these things. This is what is meant by Erandaka being the main one, surrounded by Candana. What is meant by Candana forming a forest? There is a head of household or elder who believes in the Buddhist path, and his family and relatives all follow his teachings, not contradicting each other, sincerely believing in the Three Jewels, with their minds in harmony. This is what is meant by Candana forming a forest. What is meant by Erandaka mutually entwined? There is a head of household or elder who believes in evil and inverted views, fully practicing the Ten Non-virtuous Actions (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, hatred, wrong views), worshiping ghosts and demons, and the whole family together slaughters livestock, with their minds in agreement and feeling joyful. This is what is meant by Erandaka mutually entwined. The causes and conditions for these four situations are all due to the different intentions and actions in past lives, which lead to disharmony. Therefore, the Vinaya Sutra (monastic rules) clearly explains the causes and conditions, regarding matters of obtaining karmic offenses or blessings. If a family that worships sacrifices living beings to feed ghosts and spirits, do not participate in these things, and do not eat their food. If you enter the mountains and marshes and see birds and beasts gathering together to eat, never startle or drive them away, cutting off their food. If you see the slaughter of pigs and sheep, or the setting of nets for hunting --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

、刑戮罪人，不得看视，当避舍之。纵不得避，当起大慈，誓愿僧那：‘我得佛时，使我刹中，饮食自然，无令有此诸恶因缘！’” 曰：“昔者国王夫人付香不与屠者之妻，生死作对因缘，展转相缘，或罪缘福，或福缘罪，罪福之会，有二栽果，心以生想，为行种栽，以有根孽，后受报果，此屠者之妻，为罪缘福，后相经历，辄当过生，为种苦本，是以不与香也。 “夫父子、夫妇、兄弟、家室、知识、奴婢有五因缘。何谓为五？一曰怨家，二曰债主，三曰偿债，四曰本愿，五曰真友。何谓怨家？父子、夫妇、兄弟、宗亲、知识、奴婢相遇相杀，是谓怨家。何谓债主？父母致财，子散用之，是谓债主。何谓偿债？子主致财，供给父母，是谓偿债。何谓本愿？先世发意，欲为家室善心欢喜，厚相敬从，是谓本愿。何谓真友？先世宿命，以道法因缘共相承事，后相经过，生则明法，精进志和，是谓真友。 “昔者阿难邠邸家有五福德因缘。何谓为五？一曰时节，二曰身教，三曰口言，四曰一味，五曰和顺。何谓时节？昼夜六时，不失礼敬，是谓时节。何谓身教？长者起时，室内大小无不随者，是谓身教。何谓口言？长者欲有所作兴福事时，先报家中，皆从其教，是谓口言。何谓一味？衣食平等，奴婢 现代汉语译本：‘处决罪犯时，不得观看，应当避开。即使无法避开，也应当生起大慈悲心，发誓立下宏愿：‘我成佛时，要使我的刹土之中，饮食自然而生，没有这些恶劣的因缘！’ 有人问：‘过去国王的夫人不给屠夫的妻子香，这是为什么呢？’这是因为生死之间，善恶因缘相互交织，或者罪恶成为福报的因缘，或者福报成为罪恶的因缘。罪福交织，如同栽种两种不同的果树，心念产生想法，如同播下种子，有了根基，将来就会承受相应的果报。这个屠夫的妻子，是罪恶转化为福报的例子，后来相遇，往往会带来过度的欲望，成为痛苦的根源，所以不给她香。 ‘父子、夫妇、兄弟、家庭、亲友、奴婢之间有五种因缘。哪五种呢？一是怨家，二是债主，三是偿债，四是本愿，五是真友。什么是怨家？父子、夫妇、兄弟、亲属、朋友、奴婢之间相互残杀，这就是怨家。什么是债主？父母积攒的财产，被子女挥霍，这就是债主。什么是偿债？子女努力挣钱，供养父母，这就是偿债。什么是本愿？前世发愿，希望家庭和睦，善心欢喜，彼此尊敬顺从，这就是本愿。什么是真友？前世的因缘，因为道法而互相帮助，后来相遇，能够明白佛法，精进修行，志同道合，这就是真友。 ‘过去阿难（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）说，邠邸（Bin Di）家有五种福德因缘。哪五种呢？一是时节，二是身教，三是口言，四是一味，五是和顺。什么是时节？昼夜六时，不失礼敬，这就是时节。什么是身教？长者起身时，家中大小没有不跟随的，这就是身教。什么是口言？长者想要做善事，兴办福事时，先告诉家人，大家都听从他的教导，这就是口言。什么是一味？衣食平等，对待奴婢
