大正藏第 24 册 No. 1477 佛说戒消灾经   No. 1477   佛说戒消灾经一卷   吴月支优婆塞支谦译   闻如是:   一时佛在舍卫国。   尔时有一县,皆奉行佛五戒、十善,一县界无酿酒者。中有大姓家子,欲远贾贩,临行父母语其子言:“汝勤持五戒,奉行十善,慎莫饮酒,犯佛重戒。”受教而行。往到他国,见故同学、亲友相得欢喜。将归,出蒲萄酒,欲共饮之。辞曰:“吾国土奉佛五戒,无敢犯者,饮酒后生为人愚痴,不值见佛。且辞亲行,父母相诫,以酒蒸仍违教犯戒,罪莫大也。知识区区,别久会同,心虽悦喜,不宜使吾犯戒,违亲教也。”   主人言:“吾与卿同师,恩则兄弟,吾亲则是子亲,父母相钦,岂可违之!若吾在卿家,必顺子亲。”事不获已,乃听饮之。醉卧三日,醒悟,心悔怖惧。   事讫还家,具首于亲,父母报言:“汝违吾教,加复犯戒,乱法之渐,非孝子也。无得说之,为国作先。”便以所得物逐令出国,无宜留此。   子以犯戒,为亲所逐,乃到他国,住客舍家。主人所事三鬼神能作人,现对面饮食、与人语言。主人事之,积年疲劳,居财空尽,而家疾病、死丧不绝,患厌此鬼,私共论之。   鬼知人 现代汉语译本 《佛说戒消灾经》一卷 吴月支优婆塞支谦译 我是这样听说的: 一时,佛陀在舍卫国。 当时有一个县,全县的人都奉行佛的五戒(不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语、不饮酒)、十善(不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语、不两舌、不恶口、不绮语、不贪欲、不嗔恚、不邪见),整个县境内没有酿酒的人。其中有一户大户人家的儿子,想要到远方去做买卖,临行前父母告诉他说:‘你要勤持五戒,奉行十善,千万不要饮酒,触犯佛的重戒。’他接受教诲后就出发了。到了别的国家,见到以前的同学、亲友,彼此相见非常欢喜。朋友拿出葡萄酒,想要一起喝。他推辞说:‘我的国家奉行佛的五戒,没有人敢违犯。饮酒后生生世世为人会愚痴,不能值遇佛陀。而且我是告别父母出来的,父母告诫我不要饮酒,现在因为贪图一时之快而违背教诲、触犯戒律,罪过没有比这更大的了。朋友之间的情谊虽然重要,离别很久后重逢也令人高兴,但我不应该因此而犯戒,违背父母的教诲。’ 主人说:‘我和你曾经是同门师兄弟,情谊如同兄弟一般,我的父母就是你的父母,彼此互相敬重,怎么可以违背呢!如果我在你家,一定会顺从你的父母。’他推辞不掉,最终还是喝了酒。醉倒后睡了三天,醒来后,心中后悔,感到害怕。 事情结束后回到家,他把事情的经过全部告诉了父母,父母责备他说:‘你违背我的教诲,又触犯戒律,这是扰乱佛法的开端,不是孝顺的儿子。不要再说了,这是给国家带坏头。’于是就把他赚来的东西没收,把他赶出国境,不让他留在这里。 这个儿子因为犯戒,被父母赶了出来,于是到了别的国家,住在旅店里。旅店的主人供奉三个鬼神,这三个鬼神能够变化成人形,面对面地和人一起吃喝,与人交谈。主人供奉他们,多年来耗尽了精力,家里的财产也全部耗尽,而且家里疾病、死亡的事情接连不断,对这些鬼神感到厌恶,私下里一起议论这件事。 鬼神知道人们的想法

English version The Sutra of Buddha Speaking on Eliminating Disasters Through Precepts, One Volume Translated by Upasaka Zhi Qian of the Yuezhi Kingdom of Wu Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in Shravasti (a major city in ancient India). At that time, there was a county where everyone observed the Buddha's Five Precepts (no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no false speech, no intoxicants) and the Ten Virtues (abstaining from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, false speech, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle chatter, greed, anger, and wrong views). Within the entire county, no one brewed alcohol. Among them was the son of a wealthy family who wanted to travel far for trade. Before leaving, his parents told him, 'You must diligently uphold the Five Precepts, practice the Ten Virtues, and be careful not to drink alcohol, violating the Buddha's serious precepts.' He accepted their teachings and set off. Upon arriving in another country, he met former classmates and friends, and they were delighted to see each other. His friend brought out grape wine, wanting to drink together. He declined, saying, 'My country observes the Buddha's Five Precepts, and no one dares to violate them. After drinking alcohol, one will be foolish in future lives and unable to encounter the Buddha. Moreover, I bid farewell to my parents before leaving, and they warned me not to drink alcohol. Now, indulging in momentary pleasure and violating the teachings and precepts is a great sin. Although friendship is important, and reunion after a long separation is joyful, I should not violate the precepts and disobey my parents' teachings.' The host said, 'You and I were once fellow disciples, and our friendship is like that of brothers. My parents are like your parents, and we respect each other. How can we disobey them! If I were in your home, I would certainly obey your parents.' Unable to refuse, he eventually drank the wine. He was drunk and slept for three days. Upon waking up, he felt remorse and fear. After the matter was over, he returned home and told his parents everything. His parents rebuked him, saying, 'You disobeyed our teachings and violated the precepts. This is the beginning of disrupting the Dharma and is not the act of a filial son. Say no more, this sets a bad example for the country.' So they confiscated the goods he had earned and banished him from the country, not allowing him to stay there. Because the son had violated the precepts, he was driven out by his parents. He then went to another country and stayed in a guesthouse. The owner of the guesthouse served three ghosts who could transform into human form, eat and drink with people face to face, and talk to them. The owner served them, exhausting his energy for many years, and all the family's wealth was depleted. Moreover, illnesses and deaths occurred in the family one after another. They became disgusted with these ghosts and secretly discussed the matter. The ghosts knew what people were thinking --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

意而患苦之,鬼自相共议:“此人财产空讫,正为吾耳,未曾有益,令相厌患。宜求珍宝以施与之,令其心悦!”便行盗他方国王库藏好宝,积置园中,报言:“汝事吾历年,勤苦甚久,今欲福汝,使得饶富,此乃快乎?”主人言:“受大神恩。”鬼曰:“汝园中有金银,可往取之,方有大福,令得汝愿。”主人欣然入园,见物奇异,负摙归舍,辞谢受恩:“明日欲设饮食,愿屈顾下。”施设肴馔皆办,鬼神来诣门,见舍卫国人在主人舍,便奔走而去。主人追呼请还:“今设微供皆已办具,大神既已顾下,委去何为?”神曰:“卿舍尊客,吾焉得前。”重复惊走。   主人还归坐自思惟:“吾舍之中,无有异人,正有此人耳!”即出语言,恭设所有,极相娱乐,饮食已竟,因问之曰:“卿有何功德于世?有此吾所事神畏子而走?”客具说佛功德、五戒、十善;实犯酒戒,为亲所逐,尚余四戒,故为天神所营护,卿神不敢当之。主人言:“吾虽事此神,久厌之,今欲奉持佛五戒。”因从客受三自归、五戒、十善,一心精进,不敢懈怠。问佛所在,可得见不?客曰:“佛在舍卫国给孤独园中,往立可见。”   主人一心到彼,经历一亭,中。有一女人端正,是啖人鬼妇也。男子行路迥远,时日逼暮,从女人寄止一 现代汉语译本:因为(主人)心怀忧虑而感到痛苦,众鬼便互相商议:‘这个人已经家徒四壁,这正是因为我们的缘故,却从未给我们带来任何好处,反而让他对我们感到厌恶。不如去寻找珍宝来施舍给他,让他心情愉悦!’于是便去盗取其他国王的国库中的珍宝,堆积在园中,(然后)告诉(主人)说:‘你侍奉我多年,勤劳辛苦了很久,现在想要给你带来福报,让你变得富裕,这难道不好吗?’主人说:‘感谢大神的恩赐。’鬼说:‘你的园中有金银,可以去取用,这样才会有大福报,让你实现愿望。’主人欣然进入园中,看到这些奇异的财物,便背着、拉着运回家中,辞谢(鬼神)的恩惠:‘明天想要准备饮食,希望您能屈尊光临。’(主人)准备好各种菜肴,鬼神来到门前,看到舍卫国的人在主人的家中,便奔跑着离开了。主人追上去呼唤请他回来:‘现在准备的微薄供品都已经准备好了,大神既然已经光临,为何要离开呢?’神说:‘你家中有尊贵的客人,我怎么能进去呢?’(说完)再次惊慌逃走。 主人回去后坐在那里自己思考:‘我的家中,没有其他人,只有这个人啊!’于是走出去对客人说话,恭敬地拿出所有东西,极尽娱乐款待,饮食完毕后,便问他说:‘您有什么功德于世?为什么我所侍奉的神会害怕您而逃走呢?’客人详细地说了佛的功德、五戒、十善;(说自己)确实犯了酒戒,被亲人赶了出来,但还剩下四条戒律,所以受到天神的庇护,您的神不敢与您对抗。’主人说:‘我虽然侍奉这个神,但早就厌恶他了,现在想要奉持佛的五戒。’于是就向客人受了三皈依、五戒、十善,一心精进,不敢懈怠。问佛在哪里,可以见到吗?客人说:‘佛在舍卫国的给孤独园中,前往那里就可以见到。’ 主人一心前往那里,经过一个亭子,亭子中有一个端庄的女人,是食人鬼的妻子。男子在遥远的路途上行走,当时天色已晚,便向女人请求借宿一晚。

English version: Because (the master) was worried and suffered, the ghosts discussed among themselves: 'This person is now penniless, which is because of us, but he has never brought us any benefit, and instead he feels disgusted with us. It would be better to find treasures to give to him, to make him happy!' So they went to steal treasures from the treasuries of other kings, piled them up in the garden, and (then) told (the master): 'You have served me for many years, working hard for a long time, and now I want to bring you good fortune, to make you rich, isn't that good?' The master said: 'Thank you for the great god's grace.' The ghost said: 'There is gold and silver in your garden, you can go and take it, then you will have great fortune and your wishes will be fulfilled.' The master happily entered the garden, saw these strange treasures, and carried and dragged them back home, thanking (the ghost) for his kindness: 'I want to prepare food and drink tomorrow, I hope you can condescend to visit.' (The master) prepared all kinds of dishes, and the ghost came to the door, saw the person from Śrāvastī (舍卫国) in the master's house, and ran away. The master chased after him and called him back: 'Now the meager offerings that have been prepared are all ready, since the great god has already visited, why do you want to leave?' The god said: 'You have a distinguished guest in your house, how can I enter?' (After saying this) he fled in panic again. The master went back and sat there thinking to himself: 'In my house, there is no one else, only this person!' So he went out and spoke to the guest, respectfully took out everything, and entertained him to the fullest extent. After the meal, he asked him: 'What merit do you have in the world? Why does the god I serve fear you and run away?' The guest explained in detail the Buddha's (佛) merits, the Five Precepts (五戒), and the Ten Virtues (十善); (saying that) he had indeed broken the precept against alcohol, and was driven out by his relatives, but he still had four precepts left, so he was protected by the gods, and your god dared not oppose you.' The master said: 'Although I serve this god, I have long been disgusted with him, and now I want to uphold the Buddha's Five Precepts.' So he received the Three Refuges (三自归), the Five Precepts, and the Ten Virtues from the guest, and was diligent with all his heart, not daring to be lazy. He asked where the Buddha was, and could he be seen? The guest said: 'The Buddha is in the Jeta Grove (给孤独园) in Śrāvastī, you can see him if you go there.' The master went there with all his heart, passing through a pavilion, in which there was a dignified woman, who was the wife of a man-eating ghost (啖人鬼). A man was traveling a long distance, and it was getting late, so he asked the woman for a night's lodging. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

宿,女即报言:“慎勿留此,宜急前去。”男子问曰:“用何等故,将有意乎?”女人报曰:“吾已语卿,用复问为?”男子自念:“前舍卫国人,完佛四戒,我神尚为畏之乃尔,我已受三自归、五戒、十善,心不懈怠,何畏惧乎!”遂自留宿。啖人鬼见护戒威神徘徊其旁,去亭四十里,一宿不归。   明日男子进路,见鬼所啖人骸骨狼藉,衣毛为起,心怖而悔,退自思惟:“我在本国,家居衣食极快足用,空为此人所化,言佛在舍卫国,未睹奇妙,反见骸骨纵横,恶意更生。”自念不如还彼女人,将归本土,共居如故,不亦乐乎。即时回还还至亭所,因从女人复求留宿。女人谓男子:“何复还耶?”答曰:“行计不成,故回还耳,复寄一宿。”女言:“卿死矣,吾夫是啖人鬼,方来不久,卿急去。”此男子不信,遂止不去,心更迷惑,淫意复生,不复信佛三自归之德、五戒、十善之心,天神即去,无复护之。鬼得来还,女人恐鬼食此男子,哀愍藏之瓮中,鬼闻人气谓妇言:“尔得肉耶?吾欲啖之。”妇言:“我不行。何从得肉?”妇问鬼:“卿昨夜何以不归?”鬼言:“坐汝所为而舍尊客宿,令吾见逐。”瓮中男子逾益恐怖,不复识三自归意。妇言:“卿何以不得肉乎?”鬼言:“正为汝舍佛弟子,天神逐我出 现代汉语译本 那女子便告知男子:‘千万不要留在这里,应该赶快离开。’男子问道:‘因为什么缘故,将要发生什么事吗?’女子回答说:‘我已经告诉你了,为什么还要再问?’男子心想:‘之前舍卫国的人,仅仅是奉行了佛的四条戒律,我的神识尚且畏惧他们到如此地步,我现在已经受了三皈依、五戒、十善,内心不懈怠,有什么好畏惧的呢!’于是就留下来住宿。啖人鬼见到护戒的威神在他旁边徘徊,便离开了亭子四十里,一夜没有回来。 第二天,男子继续赶路,看见鬼吃掉的人的骸骨散乱地堆积着,汗毛都竖了起来,心中恐惧而后悔,退回来自己思量:‘我在本国,家里的衣食非常充足,白白地被这个人所迷惑,说佛在舍卫国,我还没见到什么奇妙之处,反而看见了骸骨横陈,更加产生了恶意。’心想不如回到那个女人身边,带她回本土,像以前一样一起生活,不也很快乐吗。’立刻返回到亭子那里,于是又向那女子请求留宿。女子对男子说:‘你为什么又回来了?’回答说:‘行程没有成功,所以回来了,再借宿一晚。’女子说:‘你死定了,我的丈夫是啖人鬼,马上就要回来了,你快走。’这男子不相信,于是就留下来不走,内心更加迷惑,淫欲之心又产生了,不再相信佛的三皈依的功德、五戒、十善的力量,天神就离开了,不再保护他。鬼回来了,女人害怕鬼吃掉这个男子,可怜他,就把他藏在瓮中,鬼闻到人的气味,对妻子说:‘你得到肉了吗?我想吃掉它。’妻子说:‘我没有出去,从哪里得到肉?’妻子问鬼:‘你昨天晚上为什么没有回来?’鬼说:‘因为你让尊贵的客人住宿,使我被驱逐。’瓮中的男子更加恐惧,不再记得三皈依的意义。妻子说:‘你为什么得不到肉呢?’鬼说:‘正是因为你收留了佛的弟子,天神驱逐我出去。’
