大正藏第 17 册 No. 0816 佛说道神足无极变化经   No. 816 [No. 815]   佛说道神足无极变化经卷第一   西晋安息三藏安法钦译   闻如是:   一时佛游于忉利天上,在巴质树下绀琉璃石,佛坐其上为母说法,尽夏三月,与大比丘僧众俱,比丘八千皆得罗汉,诸垢已尽、神足备具、能在所作为;菩萨七万二千人,神通已达,皆得陀邻尼,悉知一切人心之所行所欲,自在遍至诸无央数佛刹。时佛与无央数之众眷属围绕而为说法。   尔时诸天众中,有二天子:一名曰月天子,二名曰月星天子,在众会中坐。于是月天子从座起,更整衣服前下右膝,叉手长跪白佛言:“愿欲说者,今欲所问!”佛言:“恣所欲问。”于是月天子踊跃即说偈问佛言: “为一切大悲,  纯厚而得利;  立之得至道,  甚净施甘露。  既已得自安,  灭除诸垢秽;  复能安一切,  是故愿欲问。  于无数劫中,  所行甚勤苦;  悉舍诸所有,  布施无厌足。  为一切等心,  等忧于众人;  今愿用是故,  欲问人中尊!  其有见佛身,  众好自庄严;  皆发踊跃意,  所得因福田。  广长无边际,  无量过大海;  是 现代汉语译本 闻如是: 一时,佛在忉利天(Trayastrimsa,欲界六天之一,位于须弥山顶)上,在巴质树下的绀琉璃石上,佛坐在上面为母亲说法,讲了整个夏季三个月。与众多大比丘僧人在一起,有八千比丘都已证得阿罗汉果位,各种烦恼已经断尽,具备神通,能够随心所欲地行动。还有七万二千位菩萨,神通已经通达,都获得了陀邻尼(Dharani,总持、忆持之意),完全了解一切众生的内心所想和愿望,自在地遍及无数的佛刹。当时,佛与无数的眷属围绕在一起说法。 这时,在诸天众中,有两位天子:一位名叫月天子(Candra Deva),一位名叫月星天子,在集会中就坐。于是,月天子从座位上起身,整理好衣服,向前走,右膝跪地,合掌长跪,对佛说:‘我想提问,现在想请问!’佛说:‘随意提问。’于是,月天子欢喜踊跃,立即用偈语向佛提问: ‘为了对一切众生的大慈悲,纯粹厚道而使众生获得利益; 树立正见使众生到达至道,以甚深清净的教法施予甘露。 既已让自己得到安稳,灭除各种烦恼污垢; 又能使一切众生得到安稳,因此我想要提问。 在无数劫的时间里,所做的事情非常勤奋艰苦; 完全舍弃所有的一切,布施而没有厌倦满足的时候。 为了对一切众生平等相待,像对待自己一样关心众人; 现在我希望因为这个缘故,向人中之尊提问! 那些见到佛身的人,佛身具有各种美好的相好庄严; 都会生起欢喜踊跃的心意,因为佛是他们所得到的殊胜福田。 佛的功德广大而没有边际,无量无边超过大海;' 是

English version Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling in the Trayastrimsa Heaven (one of the six heavens of the desire realm, located on the summit of Mount Sumeru), under the Parijata tree on a lapis lazuli stone. The Buddha sat upon it, teaching the Dharma to his mother for the entire three months of summer. He was with a great assembly of Bhikshus (monks); eight thousand Bhikshus had all attained the Arhatship (one who is worthy), their defilements were exhausted, they possessed divine powers, and were able to act as they wished. There were also seventy-two thousand Bodhisattvas, who had mastered their spiritual powers, and had all obtained Dharani (mnemonic devices, incantations), fully knowing the thoughts and desires of all beings, freely pervading countless Buddha-lands. At that time, the Buddha was surrounded by countless retinues, teaching the Dharma. Then, among the assembly of Devas (gods), there were two Deva-putras (divine beings): one named Candra Deva (Moon God), and the other named Candra-tāra Deva (Moon-star God), sitting in the assembly. Thereupon, Candra Deva rose from his seat, adjusted his robes, stepped forward, knelt on his right knee, joined his palms, and said to the Buddha: 'I wish to speak, I now wish to ask!' The Buddha said: 'Ask as you wish.' Then, Candra Deva rejoiced and immediately spoke in verse, asking the Buddha: 'For the great compassion towards all beings, purely and sincerely benefiting them; Establishing them to attain the supreme path, bestowing the nectar of the profound and pure Dharma. Having already attained peace for oneself, eliminating all defilements and impurities; And also being able to bring peace to all beings, therefore I wish to ask. In countless kalpas (eons), the practices undertaken were extremely diligent and arduous; Completely relinquishing all possessions, giving without weariness or satisfaction. Treating all beings with equality, caring for everyone as for oneself; Now I wish, for this reason, to ask the Honored One among humans! Those who see the Buddha's body, adorned with countless beautiful marks and characteristics; All generate joyful and exuberant minds, for the Buddha is the field of merit they have obtained. The Buddha's merits are vast and boundless, immeasurable and exceeding the great ocean;' Is

English version Therefore, now I wish to ask, about the one whose virtue is unsurpassed. Who has no different intentions, nor any different thoughts; A hero among the three realms (Trailokya), who fully understands all thoughts. What his body should do, he never follows others; Therefore, now I wish to ask, about the great wise one of the world. Whether there is virtue or no virtue, praise and slander; Whether there is fame or no fame, whether there is suffering or happiness. Who knows all eight worldly affairs (the eight worldly winds: gain, loss, disgrace, fame, praise, ridicule, suffering, and happiness), distinguishes and fully understands them; Therefore, I wish to ask, the one who has departed from all fears. And protects all people, guarding himself without difference; For these there is no increase or decrease, all three realms are like this! Who has compassion for others, without doubt or hatred; Therefore, I wish to ask, the one whose conduct is like the earth. Giving and upholding precepts, his heart is very pure; Rather give up his life, than violate the precepts. As the body and mouth act, so is the mind! Therefore, I wish to ask, the one who has transcended the world. Who subdues his mind with patience, stands firm and diminishes himself; These are all created by wisdom, fully seeing the places of diligence and hardship. All kinds of likes, dislikes, anger, all can endure; Therefore, I wish to ask, the one who has completed all that needs to be done. Whose strength of diligence is very strong, surpassing all discussions; Works diligently for the world, never for himself. Day and night constantly seeking, like a swift river flowing into the sea; Therefore, I wish to ask, the one whose virtue is like the heavens. For these matters of desire, the three realms no longer move him; All affections, he is able to subdue. Dhyana (meditation) and supernatural powers are fully possessed! Therefore, I wish to ask, the hero among men. For great wisdom, he has crossed over and has no attachment; The various evils of kalpas (aeons), he has abandoned. Even when in a secluded place -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ,  自在知诸法;  是故愿欲问,  别于俗而作。  神足功德智,  灭诸不可行;  从是到他刹,  不誉慈心想。  供养于诸佛,  于佛亦无想;  是故愿欲问,  爱世人示现。  是时魔皆来,  悉共大聚会;  即以道法力,  众魔皆自坏。  于是降魔已,  自致道乃成;  是故愿欲问,  其功为最胜。  一切住于地,  金座地踊出;  即时逮觉道,  佛智不可量。  便起到他处,  皆悉解诸议;  是故愿欲问,  人中之最上。  一切智功德,  为尊中复尊!  已得如佛意,  如法说经行。  合会为已度,  导师为一切;  以故问其议,  三界皆蒙恩。”

于是月天子说偈赞佛已,白佛言:“世尊!云何菩萨摩诃萨逮大神通智之持,得最度无极?云何菩萨得不可思议善权方便,得知他人心之所议?云何菩萨得知一切法,为一行、为一味、为一入、为一教说?云何得智自恣为他人说?云何菩萨得甚深戒,不有放逸行,自致无上正真道而不离佛?所问如是。世尊!愿为解说之”。   佛告月天子:“善哉善哉!天子!欲习如来业;欲被大僧那僧涅;欲入大战中作大导师;欲度一切;欲作大船;欲转大法轮;欲作大布施;欲作大法身; 现代汉语译本 ‘自在知诸法;  是故愿欲问,  别于俗而作。  神足功德智,  灭诸不可行;  从是到他刹(其他佛土),  不誉慈心想。  供养于诸佛,  于佛亦无想;  是故愿欲问,  爱世人示现。  是时魔皆来,  悉共大聚会;  即以道法力,  众魔皆自坏。  于是降魔已,  自致道乃成;  是故愿欲问,  其功为最胜。  一切住于地,  金座地踊出;  即时逮觉道,  佛智不可量。  便起到他处,  皆悉解诸议;  是故愿欲问,  人中之最上。  一切智功德,  为尊中复尊!  已得如佛意,  如法说经行。  合会为已度,  导师为一切;  以故问其议,  三界皆蒙恩。’ ‘于是月天子(Chandra Deva)说偈赞佛已,白佛言:‘世尊!云何菩萨摩诃萨(Bodhisattva-Mahasattva,伟大的菩萨)逮大神通智之持,得最度无极?云何菩萨得不可思议善权方便,得知他人心之所议?云何菩萨得知一切法,为一行、为一味、为一入、为一教说?云何得智自恣为他人说?云何菩萨得甚深戒,不有放逸行,自致无上正真道而不离佛?所问如是。世尊!愿为解说之’。 佛告月天子(Chandra Deva):‘善哉善哉!天子!欲习如来业;欲被大僧那僧涅(maha-samnaha-samnahye,伟大的盔甲);欲入大战中作大导师;欲度一切;欲作大船;欲转大法轮(Dharma wheel);欲作大布施;欲作大法身;’

English version ‘Knowing all dharmas freely; Therefore, I wish to ask, acting differently from the mundane. With the wisdom of miraculous powers and merits, eliminating all impossibilities; From here to other Buddha-lands, without praising thoughts of loving-kindness. Making offerings to all Buddhas, without any thought of the Buddhas; Therefore, I wish to ask, showing love to the people of the world. At that time, all the demons came, gathering together in a great assembly; Immediately, with the power of the Dharma, all the demons destroyed themselves. Having subdued the demons, attaining the Way and achieving enlightenment; Therefore, I wish to ask, whose merit is the most supreme. All dwelling on the earth, a golden seat sprang forth from the ground; Immediately attaining the path of enlightenment, the Buddha's wisdom is immeasurable. Then rising and going to other places, resolving all doubts; Therefore, I wish to ask, who is the most supreme among people. The merit of all-knowing wisdom, is the most honored among the honored! Having attained the Buddha's intention, expounding the scriptures and practicing according to the Dharma. Uniting to liberate those who are to be liberated, being a guide for all; Therefore, I ask about this, so that the three realms may receive grace.’ ‘Then Chandra Deva, having praised the Buddha with verses, said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! How does a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (great Bodhisattva) attain the power of great supernatural wisdom, and achieve the ultimate liberation without limit? How does a Bodhisattva attain inconceivable skillful means, and know the thoughts in others' minds? How does a Bodhisattva know all dharmas, as one practice, one taste, one entry, and one teaching? How does one attain the wisdom to freely speak to others? How does a Bodhisattva attain profound precepts, without engaging in lax behavior, and attain unsurpassed, true enlightenment without leaving the Buddha? These are my questions. World Honored One! I wish you would explain them.’ The Buddha said to Chandra Deva: ‘Excellent, excellent! Son of Heaven! Wishing to practice the deeds of the Tathagata; wishing to don the great armor (maha-samnaha-samnahye); wishing to enter the great battle and be a great guide; wishing to liberate all; wishing to build a great ship; wishing to turn the great Dharma wheel; wishing to make great offerings; wishing to create a great Dharma body;’ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
