English version: ‘Is it permissible for a trained person to recite the precepts?’ The Buddha said, ‘It is not.’ The third subsidiary summary states: ‘Without announcing the distinction and purity of the boundary, nor performing karma, flying in the air without holding consent, one may only establish a subsequent boundary after dissolving the preceding one.’ At that time, the Buddha was in Śrāvastī. The Venerable Upāli asked the World Honored One: ‘Can a person residing within a boundary announce purity to those outside the boundary?’ The Buddha said, ‘No.’ ‘Can a person residing outside a boundary announce purity to those inside the boundary?’ The Buddha said, ‘No.’ ‘Can a person residing within a boundary perform karma for those outside the boundary?’ The Buddha said, ‘No.’ ‘Can a person residing outside a boundary perform karma for those inside the boundary?’ The Buddha said, ‘No.’ ‘If someone flies through the air holding consent and departs, is it still considered holding consent?’ The Buddha said, ‘No, one should obtain consent again.’ ‘If one does not dissolve the preceding boundary, can one establish a subsequent boundary?’ The Buddha said, ‘No, one should dissolve the preceding boundary with a white four-karma procedure before establishing the subsequent one.’ The fourth subsidiary summary states: ‘Not entering a boundary, abandoning a boundary, the boundary of a tree has the World Honored One, not transgressing and being able to transgress, the one performing karma dies.’ The Venerable Upāli asked the World Honored One: ‘Is it permissible to enter one boundary with another boundary?’ The Buddha said, ‘No.’ ‘How many types of boundaries do not intermingle?’ The Buddha said, ‘Namely, a small altar and a place where water is currently standing, as well as the boundaries of bhikṣus and bhikṣuṇīs, these do not enter each other.’ ‘If a boundary is established first, how many methods are there for abandoning it?’ The Buddha said, ‘There are five: one is that the entire assembly returns to lay life, two is that the entire assembly simultaneously changes gender, three is that the entire assembly resolves to abandon it, four is that the entire assembly simultaneously passes away, and five is to dissolve it with a white four-karma procedure.’ ‘Is it permissible to use one tree as a marker for two boundaries?’ The Buddha said, ‘Taking each side can serve as a marker for three boundaries, or as a marker for four boundaries, measuring and knowing the divisions can all be accomplished.’ At that time, the World Honored One was wandering among humans in the country of Kāśī. Upon encountering a certain place, he smiled. The usual practice of the World Honored One, if --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

微笑时,即于口中,出五种色:青、黄、赤、白及以红光,或时下照、或复上升。其光下者,至等活地狱、黑绳地狱、众合地狱、号叫地狱、大号叫地狱、烧然地狱、大烧然地狱、无间地狱、疱形地狱、连疱地狱、阿吒吒地狱、阿呵呵地狱、阿呼呼地狱、青莲花地狱、红莲花地狱、大红莲花地狱。如是等处,若受炎热皆得清凉,居处寒冰便获温暖。彼诸有情各得安乐,皆作是语:“我与汝等,为从此死生余处耶?”尔时世尊令彼有情生信心故,复现余相。彼见相已咸作是语:“我等不于此死而生余处,然我必由希有大人威神力故,令我身心现处安乐。”既生敬信,能灭地狱所有诸苦,于人天处受胜妙身,当为法器得见真理。其光上升者,从四大王众天,至三十三天、夜摩天、睹史多天、乐变化天、他化自在天、梵众天、梵辅天、大梵天、少光天、无量光天、极光净天、少净天、无量净天、遍净天、无云天、福生天、广果天、无烦天、无热天、善现天、善见天,乃至色究竟天,于此光中演说苦空无常无我等法,并说二伽他曰: “汝当求出离, 于佛教勤修, 降伏生死军, 如象摧草舍。 于此法律中, 常为不放逸, 能竭烦恼海, 当尽苦边际。” 时彼光明遍照三千大千世界已,还至佛 现代汉语译本:微笑时,从佛的口中,会发出五种颜色的光芒:青色、黄色、红色、白色以及红光,这些光芒有时向下照射,有时向上升腾。光芒向下照射时,到达等活地狱(Sañjīva,众合地狱),黑绳地狱(Kālasūtra,黑线地狱),众合地狱(Saṃghāta,压迫地狱),号叫地狱(Raurava,哭号地狱),大号叫地狱(Mahāraurava,大哭号地狱),烧热地狱(Tapana,热地狱),大烧热地狱(Pratāpana,大热地狱),无间地狱(Avīci,无间断地狱),疱形地狱(Arbuda,疱地狱),连疱地狱(Nirarbuda,疱裂地狱),阿吒吒地狱(Aṭaṭa,寒冷地狱),阿呵呵地狱(Hahava,寒冷地狱),阿呼呼地狱(Huhuva,寒冷地狱),青莲花地狱(Utpala,青莲花地狱),红莲花地狱(Padma,莲花地狱),大红莲花地狱(Mahāpadma,大莲花地狱)。在这些地方,遭受炎热之苦的有情众生都能感受到清凉,身处寒冰之中的有情众生则感到温暖。他们都感到安乐,并说道:‘我们和你们,难道是从这里死去而转生到其他地方了吗?’这时,世尊为了让这些有情众生生起信心,又示现了其他的瑞相。他们看到这些瑞相后,都说道:‘我们不是从这里死去而转生到其他地方,而是因为希有的大人物的威神之力,才让我们身心感到如此安乐。’他们因此生起了敬信之心,能够灭除地狱中的所有痛苦,在人天善道中获得殊胜美妙的身体,成为堪受佛法的法器,得见真理。光芒向上升腾时,从四大王众天(Cāturmahārājika,四大天王所居之天)开始,到达三十三天(Trāyastriṃśa,帝释天),夜摩天(Yāma,时分天),睹史多天(Tuṣita,知足天),乐变化天(Nirmāṇarati,乐化天),他化自在天(Paranirmita-vaśavartin,他化自在天),梵众天(Brahma-pāriṣadya,梵众天),梵辅天(Brahma-purohita,梵辅天),大梵天(Mahābrahman,大梵天),少光天(Parīttābha,少光天),无量光天(Apramāṇābha,无量光天),极光净天(Ābhāsvara,光音天),少净天(Parīttaśubha,少净天),无量净天(Apramāṇaśubha,无量净天),遍净天(Śubhakṛtsna,遍净天),无云天(Anabhraka,无云天),福生天(Puṇyaprasava,福生天),广果天(Bṛhatphala,广果天),无烦天(Avṛha,无烦天),无热天(Atapa,无热天),善现天(Sudṛśa,善现天),善见天(Sudarśana,善见天),乃至色究竟天(Akaniṣṭha,色界顶天)。在这光明之中,佛陀演说苦、空、无常、无我等佛法,并说了两首伽陀(Gāthā,偈颂): ‘你们应当寻求出离,于佛教法中勤奋修行,降伏生死大军,如大象摧毁草屋。 在此佛法之中,常不放逸,能竭尽烦恼之海,当能穷尽痛苦的边际。’ 这时,那光明遍照三千大千世界之后,又回到佛陀那里。

English version: When smiling, from the Buddha's mouth, five kinds of colors emanate: blue, yellow, red, white, and crimson light, sometimes shining downwards, sometimes rising upwards. When the light shines downwards, it reaches the Sañjīva hell (Sañjīva, Hell of Reviving), the Kālasūtra hell (Kālasūtra, Hell of Black Threads), the Saṃghāta hell (Saṃghāta, Hell of Crushing), the Raurava hell (Raurava, Hell of Screaming), the Mahāraurava hell (Mahāraurava, Great Hell of Screaming), the Tapana hell (Tapana, Hell of Burning), the Pratāpana hell (Pratāpana, Great Hell of Burning), the Avīci hell (Avīci, Hell of Incessant Suffering), the Arbuda hell (Arbuda, Hell of Blisters), the Nirarbuda hell (Nirarbuda, Hell of Burst Blisters), the Aṭaṭa hell (Aṭaṭa, Cold Hell), the Hahava hell (Hahava, Cold Hell), the Huhuva hell (Huhuva, Cold Hell), the Utpala hell (Utpala, Blue Lotus Hell), the Padma hell (Padma, Lotus Hell), and the Mahāpadma hell (Mahāpadma, Great Lotus Hell). In these places, beings suffering from heat experience coolness, and those dwelling in ice find warmth. All these beings find comfort and say, 'Have we and you died here and been reborn elsewhere?' At that time, the World-Honored One, to inspire faith in those beings, manifested further signs. Seeing these signs, they all said, 'We have not died here and been reborn elsewhere, but it is through the majestic power of a rare great being that we experience such comfort in body and mind.' Having generated reverence and faith, they are able to extinguish all the sufferings of hell, receive excellent and wonderful bodies in the realms of humans and gods, and become vessels of the Dharma, able to see the truth. When the light rises upwards, from the Cāturmahārājika heaven (Cāturmahārājika, Heaven of the Four Great Kings), it reaches the Trāyastriṃśa heaven (Trāyastriṃśa, Heaven of the Thirty-three), the Yāma heaven (Yāma, Heaven of Time), the Tuṣita heaven (Tuṣita, Heaven of Contentment), the Nirmāṇarati heaven (Nirmāṇarati, Heaven of Enjoying Transformation), the Paranirmita-vaśavartin heaven (Paranirmita-vaśavartin, Heaven of Controlling Others' Creations), the Brahma-pāriṣadya heaven (Brahma-pāriṣadya, Heaven of Brahma's Assembly), the Brahma-purohita heaven (Brahma-purohita, Heaven of Brahma's Ministers), the Mahābrahman heaven (Mahābrahman, Great Brahma Heaven), the Parīttābha heaven (Parīttābha, Heaven of Limited Light), the Apramāṇābha heaven (Apramāṇābha, Heaven of Immeasurable Light), the Ābhāsvara heaven (Ābhāsvara, Heaven of Radiant Light), the Parīttaśubha heaven (Parīttaśubha, Heaven of Limited Purity), the Apramāṇaśubha heaven (Apramāṇaśubha, Heaven of Immeasurable Purity), the Śubhakṛtsna heaven (Śubhakṛtsna, Heaven of Universal Purity), the Anabhraka heaven (Anabhraka, Heaven Without Clouds), the Puṇyaprasava heaven (Puṇyaprasava, Heaven of Merit-born), the Bṛhatphala heaven (Bṛhatphala, Heaven of Great Reward), the Avṛha heaven (Avṛha, Heaven of No Trouble), the Atapa heaven (Atapa, Heaven of No Heat), the Sudṛśa heaven (Sudṛśa, Heaven of Good Appearance), the Sudarśana heaven (Sudarśana, Heaven of Clear Vision), and even to the Akaniṣṭha heaven (Akaniṣṭha, Heaven of the Highest Form). Within this light, the Buddha expounds the Dharma of suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self, and speaks two Gāthās (Gāthā, Verses): ‘You should seek liberation, diligently cultivate in the Buddha's teachings, subdue the army of birth and death, like an elephant destroying a grass hut. In this Dharma, always be diligent and not lax, able to exhaust the ocean of afflictions, you will reach the end of suffering.’ Then, that light, having illuminated the three thousand great thousand worlds, returned to the Buddha. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
