慧命舍利弗白佛言：“世尊！阿那婆达多龙王池水因缘如是势力。” 佛言：“善哉善哉！舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王离三种畏。何等为三？所谓：得离迦楼罗畏；离热沙畏；若余龙王行欲法时蛇形色相，彼阿那婆达多龙王行欲之时无此形相。舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王宫中，坐禅比丘住在彼处。舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王宫中，神通比丘有威德者住在彼处。舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王随住何宫，若有入者无诸衰恼。” 慧命舍利弗白佛言：“世尊！希有世尊！阿那婆达多龙王宫殿，成就如是未曾有法。希有世尊！如是龙宫彼三种过一切皆无。希有世尊！随何众生入彼宫者免三种过。希有世尊！彼龙王宫神通威德坐禅比丘入彼处住。希有世尊！彼龙池处出四大河多人受用。彼四大河生四大海大众生处、无量百千诸众生等受用之处，所谓：沙门及婆罗门，人非人等受用之处。世尊！阿那婆达多龙王成就如是无量功德。” 佛言：“舍利弗！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是。舍利弗！譬如阿那婆达多龙王离三种畏。舍利弗！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是，已得出过三恶道畏。何等三畏？一地狱畏、二饿鬼畏、三畜生畏。 “舍利弗！譬如阿那婆达多龙王池水，出四大河多人受用。舍利弗！菩萨摩诃萨亦复如是， 现代汉语译本 ’ 慧命舍利弗（Sariputra）对佛说：‘世尊！阿那婆达多（Anavatapta）龙王池水的因缘竟然有如此大的势力。’ 佛说：‘很好，很好！舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王远离三种畏惧。哪三种呢？就是：能够远离迦楼罗（Garuda）的畏惧；远离热沙的畏惧；其他龙王行欲事时会显现蛇的形貌，但阿那婆达多龙王行欲事时却没有这种形貌。舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王的宫殿中，有坐禅的比丘住在那里。舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王的宫殿中，有具神通、有威德的比丘住在那里。舍利弗！阿那婆达多龙王无论住在哪个宫殿，如果有人进入，都不会有各种衰败和烦恼。’ 慧命舍利弗对佛说：‘世尊！真是稀有啊，世尊！阿那婆达多龙王的宫殿，成就了这样未曾有过的功德。真是稀有啊，世尊！这样的龙宫没有那三种过患。真是稀有啊，世尊！无论什么众生进入那个宫殿，都能免除三种过患。真是稀有啊，世尊！那个龙王宫殿中有具神通威德、坐禅的比丘住在那里。真是稀有啊，世尊！那个龙池流出四大河，很多人都从中受益。这四大河又流向四大海，成为众多生物的栖息地，无数的众生都在那里受益，包括沙门（Sramana）和婆罗门（Brahmana），以及人和非人等等。世尊！阿那婆达多龙王成就了这样无量的功德。’ 佛说：‘舍利弗！菩萨摩诃萨（Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）也是这样。舍利弗！譬如阿那婆达多龙王远离三种畏惧。舍利弗！菩萨摩诃萨也是这样，已经能够超出三恶道的畏惧。哪三种畏惧呢？一是地狱的畏惧，二是饿鬼的畏惧，三是畜生的畏惧。 ‘舍利弗！譬如阿那婆达多龙王池水，流出四大河，很多人都从中受益。舍利弗！菩萨摩诃萨也是这样，

English version ’ The wise Sariputra (Sariputra) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! The conditions surrounding the Anavatapta (Anavatapta) Dragon King's pool are so powerful.' The Buddha said: 'Excellent, excellent! Sariputra! The Anavatapta Dragon King is free from three fears. What are the three? They are: being free from the fear of the Garuda (Garuda); being free from the fear of hot sand; and while other Dragon Kings display serpentine forms when engaging in sensual activities, the Anavatapta Dragon King does not have this form when engaging in sensual activities. Sariputra! In the palace of the Anavatapta Dragon King, there are meditating Bhikkhus residing there. Sariputra! In the palace of the Anavatapta Dragon King, there are Bhikkhus with supernatural powers and majestic virtue residing there. Sariputra! Whichever palace the Anavatapta Dragon King resides in, those who enter it will be free from all decline and affliction.' The wise Sariputra said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! It is rare, World Honored One! The palace of the Anavatapta Dragon King has achieved such unprecedented merits. It is rare, World Honored One! Such a dragon palace is free from those three faults. It is rare, World Honored One! Whatever beings enter that palace are spared from three faults. It is rare, World Honored One! In that Dragon King's palace, Bhikkhus with supernatural powers, majestic virtue, and engaged in meditation reside there. It is rare, World Honored One! That dragon pool gives rise to four great rivers, benefiting many people. These four great rivers flow into the four great seas, becoming habitats for numerous beings, where countless beings benefit, including Sramanas (Sramana) and Brahmanas (Brahmana), humans and non-humans, and so on. World Honored One! The Anavatapta Dragon King has achieved such immeasurable merits.' The Buddha said: 'Sariputra! The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (Bodhisattva-Mahasattva) is also like this. Sariputra! Just as the Anavatapta Dragon King is free from three fears. Sariputra! The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva is also like this, having already transcended the fears of the three evil paths. What are the three fears? First, the fear of hell; second, the fear of hungry ghosts; and third, the fear of animals.' 'Sariputra! Just as the Anavatapta Dragon King's pool gives rise to four great rivers, benefiting many people. Sariputra!

有四摄法摄取众生。何等为四？布施、爱语、利行、同事。此四摄法菩萨所行多人受用。 “又舍利弗！譬如阿那婆达多龙王池处因缘有四大海。如是如是！舍利弗！菩萨出生萨婆若智。 “又舍利弗！譬如大海，无量众生依住安乐。如是如是！舍利弗！三有众生依萨婆若得安乐住。三者所谓：欲有、色有及无色有。舍利弗！此门如是！应当善知。 “舍利弗！所有三千大千世界众生安乐，一切皆因菩萨而生、依菩萨有。何以故？舍利弗！发菩提心常行不断，次第相续乃至受记；得受记已，阿耨多罗三藐三菩提觉；阿耨多罗三藐三菩提觉已，转于法轮，若诸沙门、若婆罗门、若天、若魔、若梵、若余，皆不能转如是正法。以闻法故出生四众，所谓：比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷，以彼因缘得无量乐、得天人乐、得解脱乐。 “舍利弗！汝意云何？此法何生？” 慧命舍利弗白佛言：“世尊！从菩萨生。” 佛言：“舍利弗！汝意云何？三有所摄，若利若养，随何等物一切皆是菩萨先时所作之恩，岂有人能报恩者不？” 慧命舍利弗言：“世尊！无能报也。何以故？菩萨出生一切法故。” 佛言：“舍利弗！譬如有人贫无财物，有大富者多有财物，以悲愍心舍而施 现代汉语译本：有四种摄取众生的方法，称作四摄法。是哪四种呢？布施（Dāna，慷慨施予）、爱语（Priyavacana，和蔼可亲的言语）、利行（Arthakriya，做对他人有益的行为）、同事（Samānārthatā，与他人同甘共苦）。这四种摄法是菩萨所修行的，能让很多人受益。 ‘又，舍利弗（Śāriputra，佛陀的十大弟子之一）！譬如阿那婆达多龙王池（Anavatapta，传说中位于喜马拉雅山的圣湖）的因缘，有四大海。如此这般！舍利弗！菩萨出生一切智（Sarvajñatā，对一切事物和现象的完全理解）。’ ‘又，舍利弗！譬如大海，无量众生依靠它居住并获得安乐。如此这般！舍利弗！三有（Tribhava，三种存在状态）的众生依靠一切智而得到安乐的住所。三有指的是：欲有（Kāmadhātu，欲望界）、色有（Rūpadhātu，色界）以及无色有（Arūpadhātu，无色界）。舍利弗！这个法门就是这样！应当好好地了解。’ ‘舍利弗！所有三千大千世界（Trisāhasra-mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu，佛教宇宙观中的一个巨大世界系统）众生的安乐，一切都是因为菩萨而产生，依靠菩萨而存在。为什么呢？舍利弗！菩萨发起菩提心（Bodhi-citta，觉悟之心）并持续不断地修行，次第相续直到获得授记（Vyākaraṇa，佛陀对未来成佛的预言）；得到授记之后，证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提（Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi，无上正等正觉）；证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提之后，转动法轮（Dharmacakra-pravartana，宣讲佛法），无论是沙门（Śrāmaṇa，出家修行者）、婆罗门（Brāhmaṇa，印度教祭司）、天（Deva，天神）、魔（Māra，恶魔）、梵（Brahmā，梵天）还是其他人，都不能转动这样的正法。因为听闻佛法，所以出生四众（Catuḥ-pariṣad，佛教的四种僧众），也就是比丘（Bhikṣu，男性出家僧人）、比丘尼（Bhikṣuṇī，女性出家僧人）、优婆塞（Upāsaka，男性在家居士）、优婆夷（Upāsikā，女性在家居士），因为这些因缘而得到无量的快乐、得到天人的快乐、得到解脱的快乐。’ ‘舍利弗！你认为怎么样？此法从何处产生？’ 慧命舍利弗对佛说：‘世尊！从菩萨产生。’ 佛说：‘舍利弗！你认为怎么样？三有（Tribhava，三种存在状态）所包含的，无论是利益还是供养，所有的一切都是菩萨先前所作的恩德，难道有人能够报答这份恩情吗？’ 慧命舍利弗说：‘世尊！没有人能够报答。为什么呢？因为菩萨出生了一切法。’ 佛说：‘舍利弗！譬如有一个人贫穷没有财物，有一个大富之人有很多财物，以悲悯之心舍弃并施与’

English version: There are four ways to gather beings, called the Four Means of Conversion. What are the four? Giving (Dāna, generosity), loving speech (Priyavacana, kind and affectionate words), beneficial conduct (Arthakriya, acting in ways that benefit others), and cooperation (Samānārthatā, sharing joys and sorrows with others). These four means of conversion are practiced by Bodhisattvas and benefit many people. 'Furthermore, Śāriputra (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha)! It is like the Anavatapta Dragon King Lake (Anavatapta, a legendary sacred lake in the Himalayas) being the cause and condition for the four great oceans. Just so, Śāriputra! Bodhisattvas give rise to all-knowing wisdom (Sarvajñatā, complete understanding of all things and phenomena).' 'Furthermore, Śāriputra! It is like the great ocean, where countless beings rely on it for dwelling and happiness. Just so, Śāriputra! Beings in the three realms of existence (Tribhava, three states of existence) rely on all-knowing wisdom to attain a peaceful dwelling. The three realms are: the desire realm (Kāmadhātu, realm of desires), the form realm (Rūpadhātu, realm of form), and the formless realm (Arūpadhātu, realm of no form). Śāriputra! This Dharma gate is like this! You should understand it well.' 'Śāriputra! All the happiness of beings in the entire three-thousand-great-thousand world system (Trisāhasra-mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu, a vast world system in Buddhist cosmology) arises because of the Bodhisattva and depends on the Bodhisattva. Why is that? Śāriputra! The Bodhisattva generates the mind of enlightenment (Bodhi-citta, the mind of awakening) and constantly practices without interruption, in successive stages until receiving a prediction of Buddhahood (Vyākaraṇa, a prophecy by a Buddha about future Buddhahood); having received the prediction, they awaken to Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment); having awakened to Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, they turn the wheel of Dharma (Dharmacakra-pravartana, setting in motion the wheel of Dharma), and neither Śrāmaṇas (Śrāmaṇa, wandering ascetics), nor Brahmins (Brāhmaṇa, Hindu priests), nor gods (Deva, deities), nor demons (Māra, demons), nor Brahmā (Brahmā, the creator god), nor anyone else can turn such a true Dharma. Because of hearing the Dharma, the fourfold assembly (Catuḥ-pariṣad, the four groups of Buddhist followers) is born, namely: monks (Bhikṣu, ordained male monks), nuns (Bhikṣuṇī, ordained female monks), laymen (Upāsaka, male lay followers), and laywomen (Upāsikā, female lay followers), and because of these causes and conditions, they attain immeasurable joy, the joy of gods and humans, and the joy of liberation.' 'Śāriputra! What do you think? From where does this Dharma arise?' The Venerable Śāriputra said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! It arises from the Bodhisattva.' The Buddha said, 'Śāriputra! What do you think? Whatever is contained within the three realms of existence (Tribhava, three states of existence), whether it be benefit or sustenance, all of it is due to the kindness previously performed by the Bodhisattva. Is there anyone who can repay this kindness?' The Venerable Śāriputra said, 'World Honored One! No one can repay it. Why is that? Because the Bodhisattva gives rise to all Dharmas.' The Buddha said, 'Śāriputra! It is like a person who is poor and has no wealth, and a very rich person who has much wealth, who, with a compassionate heart, gives and bestows' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

之，多百多千无量无数，百千万亿皆能舍与。如是次第施第二人、施第三人、施第四人，乃至百千乃至无量百千众生，如是乃至一切众生。彼大富者所有财物一切舍与；又复施与一切无畏，令除怖畏，所有怨憎、系缚、斗诤，如是等畏皆令免脱；又复令离恶道怖畏；又与无量天人安乐。彼受施中有一众生为报恩故，破己一物以为百分，以一分物与前施者，既与物已，作如是心：‘我已报恩。’舍利弗！汝意云何？若此丈夫如是饶益一切众生，如是利益一切众生，彼一众生所破之物百分中一与前施者，报恩尽不？” 慧命舍利弗言：“世尊！不能尽也。” 佛言：“如是如是，舍利弗！菩萨亦尔。舍利弗！如悲心者利益一切，而一众生一物百分与悲心者一分之物。如是如是，舍利弗！有一施者，一切欲乐供养瞻视大乘行者，乃至命尽，彼人虽作如是供养，犹不报恩。” 尔时世尊告慧命舍利弗言：“善哉善哉！舍利弗！汝今真是我之弟子！随顺我教、善解我语。舍利弗！一切众生于菩萨所，若舍自肉，若皮、若筋、若骨、若身，如是乃至百千到舍，于菩萨恩百分之中不报其一；如是乃至千分、亿分、百千亿分，乃至数分不报其一，算数譬喻所不能及。何以故？舍利弗！菩萨之恩，世间天、人、阿修罗 现代汉语译本 ‘如果他拥有成百上千乃至无量无数的财富，都能全部施舍出去。像这样依次施舍给第二个人、第三个人、第四个人，乃至成百上千乃至无量百千的众生，像这样乃至一切众生。’这位大富之人将他所有的财物全部施舍出去；又施与一切众生无畏，使他们消除怖畏，所有怨恨、束缚、争斗，像这样的畏惧都让他们免于脱离；又使他们远离恶道的怖畏；又给予无量的天人和乐。这些接受施舍的人中，有一个众生为了报恩的缘故，将自己的一件物品分成一百份，用其中的一份给予之前的施舍者，给予之后，心中这样想：‘我已经报恩了。’舍利弗（Śāriputra，佛陀十大弟子之一，以智慧著称）！你认为怎么样？如果这位丈夫这样饶益一切众生，这样利益一切众生，那个众生所破开的物品的百分之一给予之前的施舍者，这样算是报恩完毕了吗？” 慧命舍利弗（Śāriputra）说：‘世尊（Lokajyestha，对佛陀的尊称）！不能算报恩完毕。’ 佛说：‘是的，是的，舍利弗（Śāriputra）！菩萨也是这样。舍利弗（Śāriputra）！就像具有悲心的人利益一切众生，而一个众生将一件物品分成一百份，只将其中一份给予具有悲心的人。就像这样，舍利弗（Śāriputra）！有一个施舍者，用一切欲乐供养瞻仰侍奉大乘的修行者，乃至到生命终结，这个人即使这样供养，仍然不能报答恩情。’ 这时，世尊（Lokajyestha）告诉慧命舍利弗（Śāriputra）说：‘好啊好啊！舍利弗（Śāriputra）！你现在真是我真正的弟子！能够随顺我的教导、善于理解我的话语。舍利弗（Śāriputra）！一切众生对于菩萨，如果舍弃自己的肉、皮、筋、骨、身体，像这样乃至成百上千次地舍弃，对于菩萨的恩情，连百分之一都无法报答；像这样乃至千分之一、亿分之一、百千亿分之一，乃至用算数都无法计算的程度都无法报答。为什么呢？舍利弗（Śāriputra）！菩萨的恩情，世间的天、人、阿修罗（Asura，古印度神话中的一种神）
