Chinese

时,复作此念:‘得一铁丸,烁开咽喉;得大火聚,入中而坐;又得一黑闇处,令离光焰,及除冷病。不亦快乎!’是时,狱卒化作良医,幻提铁丸,如大药丸,着其口中,令急含口。又化大车,作金莲花,上有童子,执拂鼓舞。病人见已,心生爱着:‘此化热暖,必除我冷。’即前往趣,气绝命终,生铁丸窟无间。   “此地狱中,是饿鬼道极苦恼处。有一铁山,纵广正等二十五由旬。彼山东向有一小孔,如摩伽陀斗,但出黑烟。既入彼中,釰虫、刀虫唼食其身,烟动其眼,不见火焰。周障驰走,头打铁山,脑碎髓出,如破酪瓶,铁丸顶入,从足而出,乃至略说,一念顷死,一念顷生。罪毕,食涕唾鬼中、食脓血鬼中,从是展转,生厕神中,伺求不净,取而饮食。是中罪毕,生畜生中,多受诸狗等身。从是毕已,复生贫穷,孤露、疽癞、恶疮、哆病消癁,一切诸衰,以为严饰。人所恶见,寒饿而死。如是相貌,受报好丑,闻说之时,身毛皆竖,而况眼见!是故,汝等当起大悲,救其苦难。所以尔者?诸饿鬼等,皆是过去,汝等父母、兄弟、姊妹,以颠倒愚痴,不肯求出世之乐,恋着三界,具造众罪。业力所感,生饿鬼中,苦恼交煎,无时出离,永失人身。以失人身,远离善友。远善友故,重翳疑网,永不得阿耨 现代汉语译本: 这时,他又产生这样的念头:‘如果能得到一个铁丸,烧开我的咽喉;如果能得到一大堆火焰,让我坐在其中;又能得到一个黑暗的地方,使我远离光焰,消除寒冷的疾病,那该有多么快乐啊!’这时,狱卒变化成一个好医生,幻化出一个铁丸,像一个大药丸,放在他的口中,让他赶紧含住。又幻化出一辆大车,变成金莲花,上面有童子拿着拂尘跳舞。病人看见后,心中产生爱恋和执着:‘这幻化的温暖,一定能消除我的寒冷。’就立刻前往追逐,结果气绝身亡,生到铁丸窟无间地狱中。 ‘这个地狱中,是饿鬼道最极度痛苦的地方。有一座铁山,纵横长宽都是二十五由旬(Yojana,古印度长度单位)。这座铁山的东面有一个小孔,像摩伽陀斗(Magadha measure,古印度容量单位),但只冒出黑烟。进入其中后,釰虫、刀虫叮咬吞食他的身体,烟熏他的眼睛,看不见火焰。他四处奔走,头撞铁山,脑浆碎裂流出,像打破的酪瓶一样,铁丸从头顶进入,从脚底穿出,乃至简单地说,一念之间死去,一念之间又活过来。罪业完毕后,他会生到食用涕唾的鬼中、食用脓血的鬼中,从这里辗转,生到厕神中,伺机寻找不干净的东西,拿来饮食。这里的罪业完毕后,会生到畜生道中,大多承受诸如狗之类的身体。从这里结束后,又会出生在贫穷、孤苦伶仃、身患恶疮、疾病缠身、身体消瘦的地方,一切衰败都用来装饰他。人们厌恶看见他,在寒冷和饥饿中死去。像这样的相貌,承受果报的好坏,听闻的时候,身上的毛发都会竖立起来,更何况亲眼看见!因此,你们应当生起大悲心,救度他们的苦难。为什么这么说呢?这些饿鬼等,都是过去世的你们的父母、兄弟、姐妹,因为颠倒愚痴,不肯寻求出世的快乐,贪恋执着三界,造作各种罪业。被业力所感,生到饿鬼道中,苦恼交加,没有出离的时候,永远失去人身。因为失去人身,远离善友。因为远离善友的缘故,重重地被疑网遮蔽,永远无法得到阿訇

English version: Then, he would have this thought: 'If I could get an iron ball to melt open my throat; if I could get a great pile of fire to sit in; and if I could get a dark place to be away from the light and flames, and to get rid of this cold sickness, how happy would I be!' At that time, the prison guard transformed into a good doctor, magically producing an iron ball, like a large medicinal pill, and put it in his mouth, telling him to hold it quickly. He also transformed a large cart into a golden lotus flower, upon which there were children holding whisks and dancing. When the sick person saw this, love and attachment arose in his heart: 'This transformed warmth will surely eliminate my cold.' He immediately went forward to pursue it, but his breath expired and he died, and was born in the Iron Ball Cave Avici (Avici, the lowest level of hell). 'In this hell, it is the place of extreme suffering in the realm of hungry ghosts. There is an iron mountain, whose length, width, and height are all twenty-five Yojana (Yojana, an ancient Indian unit of distance). On the east side of this mountain, there is a small hole, like a Magadha measure (Magadha measure, an ancient Indian unit of volume), but it only emits black smoke. Once inside, sword-worms and knife-worms bite and devour his body, the smoke stings his eyes, and he cannot see the flames. He runs around in a panic, his head hitting the iron mountain, his brains shattered and flowing out like a broken pot of curds. The iron ball enters from the top of his head and exits from his feet, and to put it briefly, he dies in one thought and is reborn in the next. When his sins are exhausted, he will be born among the ghosts who eat snot and saliva, and among the ghosts who eat pus and blood. From there, he will be reborn among the toilet gods, waiting to find unclean things to take and eat. When his sins there are exhausted, he will be born among the animals, mostly receiving bodies such as dogs. After that is finished, he will be born in poverty, orphaned, with festering sores, diseases, emaciation, and all kinds of decay as adornments. People hate to see him, and he dies of cold and hunger. Such an appearance, receiving the results of good and bad deeds, even hearing about it makes the hair on one's body stand on end, let alone seeing it with one's own eyes! Therefore, you should arouse great compassion and save them from their suffering. Why is that? These hungry ghosts are all your parents, brothers, and sisters from the past, who, because of their inverted foolishness, were unwilling to seek the joy of liberation from the world, and were attached to the Three Realms, creating all kinds of sins. Affected by the power of karma, they were born into the realm of hungry ghosts, suffering and tormented, with no time to escape, and forever losing their human bodies. Because they lost their human bodies, they are far from good friends. Because they are far from good friends, they are heavily obscured by the net of doubt, and will never attain Anuttara --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

多罗三藐三菩提。是故当知,甚可愍伤,拔苦厄尔得解脱。”   尔时,会中有一菩萨,名曰月爱,曾已薰一习大悲行海。见是事已,身体捍动、筋脉抽切、悲感势恼,从坐而趣,头面作礼,悲泪满目,前白佛言:“呜呼!婆伽婆!愿教我等救护之法,多所安稳!”   尔时,世尊告月爱菩萨:“善哉!大士!真是大悲,修大悲者。愍伤一切故,问我此事。汝当善听。善男子!我有胜大悲曰陀罗尼门,名曰‘嚫那毕唎多大道场会甘露味法’,不可思议,具大慈悲,有大威势,能碎地狱、畜生、饿鬼广大业山,亦能令菩萨速得如来一子之地,复得成就一百一十种大慈悲心,能令持者现身证得大悲轮顶王陀罗尼大悲不坏藏三昧门。善男子!此大神咒,能灭饿鬼饿渴剧火,施与清凉甘露美味,毕定速得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。譬如夜月,能除郁蒸,此陀罗尼亦复如是。汝当系念,一心谛听,勿令忘失。我今说之。   “善男子!若有比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷、童男、童女及诸人天,意欲受持此方便法者,应须召请尽十方界一切六趣诸饿鬼神众。当作是念:‘南无佛陀耶!南无达摩耶!南无僧伽耶!南无本尊释迦牟尼如来!南无安住大地菩萨众!南无一切龙天善神!愿以威神加哀护助。我今召请十方刹土尽虚 现代汉语译本:阿耨多罗三藐三菩提(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。因此应当知道,他们是多么值得怜悯和悲伤,脱离痛苦和灾难才能得到解脱。” 当时,法会中有一位菩萨,名叫月爱(Candra-priya),曾经熏习过广大的慈悲行海。见到这种情况后,身体颤抖,筋脉抽搐,悲伤和感动交织,从座位上起身,头面顶礼,眼中充满悲伤的泪水,向前对佛说:“呜呼!婆伽婆(Bhagavan,世尊)!愿您教导我们救护众生的方法,使他们得到更多的安稳!” 当时,世尊告诉月爱菩萨:“善哉!大士!你真是具有大慈悲心,修行大慈悲的人。因为怜悯和悲伤一切众生,所以问我这件事。你应该好好听着。善男子!我有一个殊胜的大慈悲陀罗尼门,名叫‘嚫那毕唎多大道场会甘露味法’,不可思议,具足大慈悲,有大威势,能够摧毁地狱、畜生、饿鬼广大业力之山,也能令菩萨迅速证得如来一子之地,又能够成就一百一十种大慈悲心,能够令受持者现身证得大悲轮顶王陀罗尼大悲不坏藏三昧门。善男子!这个大神咒,能够灭除饿鬼的饥饿和干渴的剧烈火焰,施与清凉的甘露美味,必定迅速证得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。譬如夜晚的月亮,能够消除闷热,这个陀罗尼也像这样。你应该集中意念,一心谛听,不要忘记。我现在就说给你听。 “善男子!如果有比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞(Upasaka,男居士)、优婆夷(Upasika,女居士)、童男、童女以及诸人天,想要受持这个方便法,应当召请尽十方界一切六道诸饿鬼神众。应当这样想念:‘南无佛陀耶(Namo Buddhaya,皈依佛)!南无达摩耶(Namo Dharmaya,皈依法)!南无僧伽耶(Namo Sanghaya,皈依僧)!南无本尊释迦牟尼如来(Namo Sakyamuni-tathagata,皈依本师释迦牟尼如来)!南无安住大地菩萨众(Namo Prthivi-sthitah Bodhisattva-gana,皈依安住于大地的菩萨众)!南无一切龙天善神(Namo Sarva-naga-deva-yaksa,皈依一切龙天善神)!愿以威神加哀护助。我今召请十方刹土尽虚

English version: Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment). Therefore, it should be known that they are so pitiable and sad, only by escaping suffering and calamity can they attain liberation.' At that time, in the assembly, there was a Bodhisattva named Candra-priya (Moon-love), who had cultivated a vast ocean of compassionate practices. Seeing this situation, his body trembled, his muscles twitched, and he was overwhelmed with sorrow and emotion. He rose from his seat, prostrated himself with his head to the ground, his eyes filled with tears of sorrow, and said to the Buddha, 'Alas! Bhagavan (World Honored One)! May you teach us the method of saving sentient beings, so that they may attain more peace and stability!' At that time, the World Honored One said to the Bodhisattva Candra-priya, 'Excellent! Great being! You are truly compassionate, a practitioner of great compassion. Because you pity and grieve for all sentient beings, you ask me about this matter. You should listen carefully. Good man! I have a supreme great compassionate Dharani-gate, called 'Cinnabirita Great Assembly of the Ambrosial Taste Dharma', inconceivable, possessing great compassion, having great power, able to crush the vast mountain of karma of hells, animals, and hungry ghosts, and also able to enable Bodhisattvas to quickly attain the position of a son of the Tathagata, and also able to accomplish one hundred and ten kinds of great compassionate minds, able to enable the holder to attain in this very life the Great Compassionate Wheel Crown King Dharani, the Great Compassionate Indestructible Treasury Samadhi-gate. Good man! This great divine mantra is able to extinguish the fierce flames of hunger and thirst of hungry ghosts, bestow cool ambrosial deliciousness, and will certainly quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Just like the night moon, which can dispel sultriness, this Dharani is also like that. You should focus your mind, listen attentively with one heart, and do not forget it. I will now speak it for you.' 'Good man! If there are Bhikshus (monks), Bhikshunis (nuns), Upasakas (male lay practitioners), Upasikas (female lay practitioners), young boys, young girls, and all humans and devas, who wish to receive and uphold this expedient method, they should summon all the hungry ghosts and deities of the six realms throughout the ten directions. They should think thus: 'Namo Buddhaya (Homage to the Buddha)! Namo Dharmaya (Homage to the Dharma)! Namo Sanghaya (Homage to the Sangha)! Namo Sakyamuni-tathagata (Homage to the fundamental teacher, Sakyamuni Tathagata)! Namo Prthivi-sthitah Bodhisattva-gana (Homage to the Bodhisattva assembly abiding on the earth)! Namo Sarva-naga-deva-yaksa (Homage to all dragon gods and benevolent spirits)! May you, with your majestic power, have compassion and protect and assist us.

空界一切六趣饿鬼有情类,以三宝威神力故,悉至我所。’作是说已,面向东方,即诵召请神咒七遍。”   尔时,世尊即为月爱宣说召请陀罗尼咒。即说咒曰:   “那谟 菩布哩(一) 怛他伽哆耶(二)”   佛告月爱:“召请彼已,尔时十方一切六趣饿鬼鬼神悉赴集,瞻仰行者,如见父母。行者尔时应当起大悲心,而语之言:‘汝当善听!我今以此陀罗尼开汝咽喉,施汝清凉、柔软快乐,欲令汝等,自恣饮食甘露美味。’”   尔时,世尊说开咽喉陀罗尼咒曰:   “唵(一) 菩布哩(二) 迦怛哩(三) 怛哆伽哆(四)   “诵此陀罗尼神咒满七遍已,是诸鬼等,以此咒力,咽喉通息、猛火息灭,无复痛恼、身心泰然。尔时,行者当先施水。欲施水者,每于晨朝或日中时,取一掬净水,面向东方,咒之七遍,向东散洒,著于空中。其水以此陀罗尼力,一渧堕地,变成十斛天甘露浆。诸鬼神等,充足饱满、欢喜无量。”   尔时,世尊为月爱故即说咒水陀罗尼咒曰:   “那谟 苏卢婆曳(一) 怛伽他哆耶(二) 怛铁他(三) 苏嚧苏嚧(四) 波啰苏噜 莎婆呵(五)”   佛告月爱菩萨言:“善男子!是名‘施甘露浆陀罗尼神咒’。复次,若诸人天,欲施 现代汉语译本:‘对于空界中一切六道饿鬼有情众生,以三宝(佛、法、僧)的威神力,全部来到我这里。’说完这些话后,面向东方,立即诵念召请神咒七遍。 这时,世尊就为月爱(菩萨名)宣说了召请陀罗尼咒。即说咒语如下: ‘那谟 菩布哩(Namo Bù bù lī,皈命 普遍) 怛他伽哆耶(dá tuō qié duō yé,如来) ’ 佛告诉月爱:‘召请他们之后,这时十方一切六道饿鬼鬼神全部前来聚集,瞻仰行者,如同见到父母。行者这时应当生起大悲心,对他们说:‘你们应当好好听着!我现在用这个陀罗尼打开你们的咽喉,施给你们清凉、柔软快乐,想要让你们能够随意饮食甘露美味。’ 这时,世尊说了开咽喉陀罗尼咒: ‘唵(ōng,咒语起始音) 菩布哩(Bù bù lī,普遍) 迦怛哩(jiā dá lī,断除) 怛哆伽哆(dá tuō qié duō,如来) ’ ‘诵念这个陀罗尼神咒满七遍后,这些鬼等,凭借这个咒语的力量,咽喉通畅,猛火熄灭,不再有痛苦烦恼,身心安泰。这时,行者应当先施水。想要施水的人,每天早晨或中午时,取一掬净水,面向东方,念咒七遍,向东散洒,洒在空中。这些水凭借这个陀罗尼的力量,一滴落到地上,变成十斛天甘露浆。众鬼神等,充足饱满,欢喜无量。’ 这时,世尊为了月爱(菩萨名)的缘故,就说了咒水陀罗尼咒: ‘那谟 苏卢婆曳(Namo Sū lú pó yè,皈命 妙色) 怛伽他哆耶(dá tuō qié duō yé,如来) 怛铁他(dá tiě tā,即说咒曰) 苏嚧苏嚧(Sū lú Sū lú,妙色 妙色) 波啰苏噜(bō là Sū lú,胜妙色) 莎婆呵(suō pó hē,圆满) ’ 佛告诉月爱菩萨说:‘善男子!这叫做‘施甘露浆陀罗尼神咒’。再次,如果诸人天,想要施…
