English version: The Buddha Speaks the Cunda Sutra Thus have I heard: At one time, the World-Honored One was in the Ghosilarama (Ghosilarama: Ghosila Grove) in Kauśāmbī (Kauśāmbī: an ancient Indian city). At that time, there was a great venerable one named Cunda (Cunda: name of a venerable monk), who came to the place where the Buddha was. Having arrived, he paid homage, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Can endless merit still be obtained? I wish the World-Honored One would explain it to me in detail.' At that time, the World-Honored One said to the great venerable Cunda: 'Excellent! Excellent! You are able to ask the Tathagata about endless merit. Now listen carefully, and I will explain it to you. Cunda! This endless merit is very profound and subtle, and its name is widely known. If a person sincerely turns to it, they will obtain great rewards. And this merit is of seven kinds, its fame is universal, very deep and vast. If a good man or good woman, with a sincere heart, can fulfill these dharmas, that person, in the four kinds of deportment (walking, standing, sitting, and lying down), will constantly increase endless merit, and the merit increased will be inconceivable and immeasurable. What are the seven?' 'Cunda! If there is a good man or good woman who, with great faith, donates gardens, forests, ponds, and marshes, providing for the Sangha from all directions to walk, practice, and rest. Cunda! This is the first kind of endless merit, with great rewards, receiving great praise, its fame is universal, very deep and vast. If a good man or good woman can fulfill this dharma, that person, in the four kinds of deportment, will constantly increase endless merit, and the merit increased will be inconceivable and immeasurable.' 'Furthermore, Cunda! If there is a good man or good woman who, with great faith, establishes monasteries in those forests, allowing the Sangha to dwell in peace. Cunda! This is the second kind of endless merit, with great rewards, even to the extent that its fame is universal, very deep and vast.

“复次尊那!若有善男子善女人,发大信心,或见霜雪严凝风雨寒冷,而见是已,便能修撰种种饮食、汤药、卧具、衣物、鞋履等,于众僧中供给供养。如是众僧风雨不侵不受寒冷,承是供养得大安乐。尊那!此是第七无尽功德,有大果报,乃至名闻普遍甚深广大。若善男子善女人,发志诚心能具足此法,是人于四威仪中,恒得增长无尽功德,所增功德不可思议不可称量。   “尊那!如是七种无尽功德法,若有善男子善女人,发至诚心具足此法,所获无尽功德不可思议不可称量,功德甚多,名大功德蕴。尊那!譬如五大河恒流其水,所谓:殑伽河、阎母那河、萨啰喻河、爱啰嚩帝河、末呬河。而此河水不可限量,如是河水乃至盛水之器,百数千数百千亿数,其水甚多,名为水蕴;无尽功德亦复如是!   “尊那!此七种无尽功德法悉皆具足,是善男子善女人,所获功德不可思议不可称量,具大名闻及大果报,功德甚多,名为大功德蕴。”   尔时大尊者尊那复白佛言:“世尊!此无尽功德,若人具足此法真实不虚,获大果报具大称赞,名闻普遍甚深广大?”   佛告大尊者尊那言:“如汝所说,实获此无尽功德,果报如是!”   佛言:“尊那!复有七种无尽功德法,有大 不可称量。 ‘复次,尊那(Cunda,人名)!如果有善男子、善女人,发起大信心,看到霜雪严寒凝结,风雨交加,天气寒冷,因此便能准备各种饮食、汤药、卧具、衣物、鞋子等,在众僧中供给供养。这样,众僧就不会受到风雨侵袭,不受寒冷,承受这些供养而得到极大的安乐。尊那!这是第七种无尽功德,有极大的果报,乃至名声传遍,非常深广。如果善男子、善女人,以真诚的心能够具足这种做法,这个人在行住坐卧四种威仪中,都能不断增长无尽的功德,所增长的功德不可思议,不可称量。 ‘尊那!像这样七种无尽功德法,如果有善男子、善女人,以至诚的心具足这些做法,所获得的无尽功德不可思议,不可称量,功德非常多,称为大功德蕴。尊那!譬如五大河流不停地流淌,它们是:殑伽河(Ganga,恒河)、阎母那河(Yamuna,亚穆纳河)、萨啰喻河(Sarayu,萨拉यु河)、爱啰嚩帝河(Iravati,伊洛瓦底江)、末呬河(Mahi,马希河)。这些河水不可斗量,乃至用成百上千、成百千亿的器皿来盛水,水量也非常多,称为水蕴;无尽功德也像这样!’ ‘尊那!这七种无尽功德法全部具足,这位善男子、善女人,所获得的功德不可思议,不可称量,具有很大的名声和很大的果报,功德非常多,称为大功德蕴。’ 这时,大尊者尊那又对佛说:‘世尊!这种无尽功德,如果有人具足这种做法,真实不虚,获得很大的果报,具有很大的称赞,名声传遍,非常深广吗?’ 佛告诉大尊者尊那说:‘正如你所说,确实能获得这种无尽功德,果报就是这样!’ 佛说:‘尊那!还有七种无尽功德法,具有很大的…

Immeasurable. ‘Furthermore, Cunda (name of a person)! If there are good men and good women who generate great faith, and upon seeing the frost and snow severely congealed, the wind and rain cold, they are then able to prepare various foods, medicines, bedding, clothing, shoes, and so on, and provide offerings to the Sangha. In this way, the Sangha will not be invaded by wind and rain, nor suffer from the cold, and will receive great joy from these offerings. Cunda! This is the seventh inexhaustible merit, with great karmic rewards, even to the extent that the reputation spreads widely and deeply. If good men and good women, with sincere hearts, are able to fully practice this Dharma, then such a person will constantly increase inexhaustible merit in the four dignities (walking, standing, sitting, and lying down), and the merit increased will be inconceivable and immeasurable.’ ‘Cunda! Like these seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious Dharmas, if there are good men and good women who, with sincere hearts, fully practice these Dharmas, the inexhaustible merit they obtain will be inconceivable and immeasurable, and the merit will be very great, called a great accumulation of merit. Cunda! For example, the five great rivers constantly flow with their water, namely: the Ganga River (Ganga, the Ganges), the Yamuna River (Yamuna, the Yamuna), the Sarayu River (Sarayu, the Sarayu), the Iravati River (Iravati, the Irrawaddy River), and the Mahi River (Mahi, the Mahi River). And this river water cannot be measured, even if hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of millions of vessels are used to hold the water, the amount of water is still very large, called a water accumulation; inexhaustible merit is also like this!’ ‘Cunda! If these seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious Dharmas are all fully practiced, the merit obtained by these good men and good women will be inconceivable and immeasurable, with great fame and great karmic rewards, and the merit will be very great, called a great accumulation of merit.’ At that time, the great Venerable Cunda again said to the Buddha: ‘World Honored One! If a person fully practices this inexhaustible merit, truly and without falsehood, will they obtain great karmic rewards, have great praise, and have a reputation that spreads widely and deeply?’ The Buddha told the great Venerable Cunda: ‘As you say, one will indeed obtain this inexhaustible merit, and the karmic rewards will be like this!’ The Buddha said: ‘Cunda! There are also seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious Dharmas, with great… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
