t25n1505 four agamas summary commentary.g2.0f

English

English version There is the appearance of a life-force root. The combination of yin and yang essence (like water on a lotus leaf) congeals, gradually growing and hardening, taking on the form of a life-force, but not yet forming male or female sexual organs, therefore it is different. Question: How are the directions distinguished? Answer: The directions are four: Jambudvipa (the continent we inhabit, South Jambudvipa), Purvavideha (East Videha), Godaniya (West Godaniya), and Uttarakuru (North Kuru). They appear in different directional forms. Purvavideha is in the east, followed by Godaniya in the west, Uttarakuru in the north, and South Jambudvipa in the south. The beings in these places have limited lifespans and happiness, and various living necessities are valued by them, and they are different from each other, the higher the world, the more wonderful it is. Question: There are two actions in the heavens, lust and abandoning bonds. Which of these two is (done by the devas)? Answer: Devas have the actions of holding hands, verbal expression, and seeing to engage in lust (sutra). Engaging in lust will receive retribution, abandoning bonds will no longer enter into reincarnation. There are three ways of engaging in lust in the heavens: holding hands, verbal expression (generating lust through speech), and seeing. Verbal expression occurs in the Nirmanarati heaven. In this heaven, men and women admire each other, express their love to each other, and lust quickly arises. If only one party admires, it does not constitute lust. It is like men and women holding hands in the human realm, if the man has no affection, it is like the embrace between mother, sisters, and daughters. The Paranirmitavasavartin devas can freely enjoy themselves with the men they love, so they can transform to satisfy lust (the five heavens refer to this situation, both men and women have desires, one transforms into an image that pleases the other, and then completes lust through speech). Seeing occurs in the Paranirmitavasavartin heaven, where devas admire each other, look at each other, and lust arises. There is also looking without admiration, like the situation in the Paranirmitavasavartin heaven, so it is said that the Paranirmitavasavartin heaven is corresponding (the six heavens refer to this situation, devas see the images transformed by others and generate admiration, thereby completing lust). Question: You have already spoken about verbal expression and seeing, why didn't you speak about holding hands earlier? Answer: There are two types of holding hands: embracing and holding hands (sutra). There are three types of devas who engage in lust by holding hands: co-acting lust, embracing lust, and holding hands lust. Co-acting lust will be discussed later. Embracing lust occurs in the Yama heaven, where devas admire each other, like embracing a woman, lust quickly arises, if only one party admires, it does not constitute lust. It is like the joy brought by mutual embrace in the human realm, it is the same in the Yama heaven. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

如是得不着意。如尊长夜起乐喜意,是故焰摩(秦言夜半)。   问:云何执手行淫?   答:兜率陀,彼展转发淫,如女共执手行,如是淫生,独一染着。如相抱不染着,如尊长自有侍从,喜是故,名兜率陀(秦言止足天,不犯他淫。梵曰自有己慧不仰人,故曰自也)。   问:云后当说俱行。此云何?   答:俱行者,三十二(第二天也)、大王、地(修妒路)。有二着二淫,此一切淫行,依二彼行义。此二想师说如人。彼三十三须弥顶,彼如人行淫。四大王游乾陀罗上(秦言持天地也),彼亦如人。地者,此间地树河山上居处,爱所欲得。此一切天如所说,有下风而无便利,转上转上两倍乐。此辈天欲界住者。   问:趣云何?   答:趣者,地狱、畜生、饿鬼(修妒路)。地狱、畜生、饿鬼,此是三趣,无善趣故恶趣。彼地狱,寒、热、因缘想(修妒路)。寒地狱、热地狱、因缘想地狱。狱一义,极苦。是故地狱中无可乐,是故地狱。彼多种此当说。彼寒地狱者,能语、不了语、不语(修妒路)。三语相寒地狱:能语、不了语、不语。极多语彼能语者,字可了,是故能语。   问:云何能语?   答:能语頞浮陀(秦言卒起)、尼赖浮陀(秦言不卒起)、阿波簸(秦言战修 现代汉语译本 如果这样还是不能产生欲望,就像尊长在夜晚起来享受快乐一样,因此叫做焰摩(Yama,秦言夜半)。 问:什么是执手行淫? 答:在兜率陀(Tushita)天,他们互相传递欲望,就像女子互相执手行走一样,这样就产生了淫欲,只有单一的染着。就像互相拥抱却没有染着,就像尊长有自己的侍从,因为喜欢所以快乐,因此叫做兜率陀(Tushita,秦言止足天,不犯他淫。梵语的意思是自有己慧不仰人,所以叫做自也)。 问:之后应当说俱行,这是什么意思? 答:俱行是指三十二天(第二天也)、四大王天、地居天(修妒路)。有二种染着和二种淫欲,这一切淫行都依赖于这二种行为的意义。这二种想法是老师所说的,就像人一样。三十三天在须弥山顶,他们像人一样行淫。四大王天在游乾陀罗(Gandhara)山上(秦言持天地也),他们也像人一样。地居天是指此间居住在地上的树、河、山上的天人,他们爱着所想要得到的东西。所有这些天都像所说的那样,有下风而没有便利,越往上越快乐两倍。这些天都住在欲界。 问:趣是什么意思? 答:趣是指地狱、畜生、饿鬼(修妒路)。地狱、畜生、饿鬼,这是三恶趣,因为没有善趣所以是恶趣。地狱有寒地狱、热地狱、因缘想(修妒路)。寒地狱、热地狱、因缘想地狱。狱是一个意思,指极度的痛苦。因此地狱中没有可快乐的事情,所以叫做地狱。这些种类很多,之后会说到。寒地狱有能语、不了语、不语(修妒路)。三种语言相关的寒地狱:能语、不了语、不语。极多语言的是能语地狱,字可以理解,所以叫做能语。 问:什么是能语? 答:能语是指頞浮陀(Arbuda,秦言卒起)、尼赖浮陀(Nirarbuda,秦言不卒起)、阿波簸(Atata,秦言战修

English version If one still cannot attain intention in this way, it is like an elder arising at night to enjoy pleasure; therefore, it is called Yama (秦言夜半, 'night half'). Question: What is 'holding hands and engaging in sexual activity'? Answer: In Tushita (兜率陀), they transmit desire to each other. Just as women hold hands and walk, sexual desire arises in this way, with only a single attachment. It is like embracing without attachment, like an elder having their own attendants, being happy because of liking them; therefore, it is called Tushita (秦言止足天, 'contentment heaven, not violating others' sexuality.' The Sanskrit meaning is 'having one's own wisdom and not relying on others,' therefore it is called 'self'). Question: Afterwards, it should be said about 'acting together.' What does this mean? Answer: 'Acting together' refers to the Thirty-two Heavens (the second heaven), the Four Great Kings, and the Earth (修妒路). There are two kinds of attachments and two kinds of sexual desires. All these sexual activities rely on the meaning of these two kinds of actions. These two ideas are what the teacher said, like humans. The Thirty-three Heavens are on the summit of Mount Sumeru; they engage in sexual activity like humans. The Four Great Kings roam on Mount Gandhara (秦言持天地也, 'holding heaven and earth'); they also act like humans. 'Earth' refers to those who dwell on trees, rivers, and mountains on this earth, loving what they desire to obtain. All these devas are as described, having downward wind but no convenience, with pleasure doubling as they ascend higher. These devas dwell in the desire realm. Question: What is 'gati' (趣)? Answer: 'Gati' refers to hells, animals, and hungry ghosts (修妒路). Hells, animals, and hungry ghosts are the three evil destinies, because there are no good destinies, they are evil destinies. Hells include cold hells, hot hells, and hells of conditioned thought (修妒路). Cold hells, hot hells, and hells of conditioned thought. 'Hell' has one meaning, referring to extreme suffering. Therefore, there is nothing enjoyable in hell; therefore, it is called hell. There are many kinds of these, which will be discussed later. Cold hells include those that can speak, those that cannot speak clearly, and those that cannot speak (修妒路). Three kinds of cold hells related to language: those that can speak, those that cannot speak clearly, and those that cannot speak. The hell with the most language is the hell of those that can speak; the words can be understood, therefore it is called 'can speak.' Question: What is 'can speak'? Answer: 'Can speak' refers to Arbuda (頞浮陀, 秦言卒起, 'sudden arising'), Nirarbuda (尼赖浮陀, 秦言不卒起, 'not sudden arising'), Atata (阿波簸, 秦言战修 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

妒路)。此三寒地狱能语。彼卒起者(数拘利至百为一,次复至百,如是五,名卒起),数为声如十摩竭(国人也)胡麻担一担二十聚也,念百岁取一胡麻,此时犹可尽。尔许百岁,彼卒起地狱众生命如此。四掬成一升,四升成一独笼奈,十六独笼奈成一佉隶(取也),二十佉隶成一担。如是命为十倍,成不卒起。以此十倍作已,余者亦尔知。若不卒起中,以寒身体疱着生,是故不卒起(无数疱着身也)。身无空处疱满,是故不卒起。战狱名寒内松落,作尔战唤阿波波。   问:云何不了语?   答:不了语者,阿吒鸺、吒鸺、优钵(修妒路)。此三不了语,大逼迫时不耐苦,称阿吒鸺、吒鸺,作如是不了,皮落如优钵(皮落但有肉存),甚寒因缘合会,使皮落如优钵花,部身亦尔。彼于此间诽谤贤人,优钵罗受罪(句倒,受罪如优钵)。   问:云何不能语?   答:不能语者,须揵提(极香花)、拘物度(白花)、分陀黎、钵暮(藕花。修妒路)。此四地狱不能语,唯极冬疾风吹身令强。须揵提(修妒路)、拘物度、分陀黎、藕花,随其象,身更苦,喟喘(喟音穹诡反)身战栗,住此诽谤贤人,是须揵提如是一切殃受此苦。如是十劫尽,是寒地狱十也。四方间轮围山(铁围)着(近也)上,狭如 现代汉语译本 卒起地狱。这三种寒地狱能够说话。那些卒起者(数拘利至百为一,然后再次至百,如此五次,名为卒起),数量之多,就像十摩竭国人所用的胡麻,用一担来装,分成二十堆,念诵一百年,取一粒胡麻,即使这样,时间也还可以穷尽。像这样的一百岁,那些卒起地狱众生的寿命就是如此。四掬成为一升,四升成为一个独笼奈,十六独笼奈成为一个佉隶(取也),二十佉隶成为一担。像这样寿命增加十倍,成为不卒起。用这十倍来计算,其余的也一样可以知道。如果是不卒起地狱中,因为寒冷身体上生出疱,所以叫不卒起(无数疱着身)。身上没有空的地方,都满了疱,所以叫不卒起。战狱的名字叫寒内松落,在那里战斗呼喊‘阿波波’。 问:什么是不了语地狱? 答:不了语地狱是阿吒鸺、吒鸺、优钵(修妒路)。这三种不了语地狱,在大逼迫的时候不能忍受痛苦,称呼‘阿吒鸺’、‘吒鸺’,发出这样不清不楚的声音,皮肉脱落就像优钵罗花(皮落但有肉存),因为极度寒冷的原因,使得皮肤脱落像优钵罗花一样,全身也是这样。他们在这里诽谤贤人,所以受优钵罗地狱的罪(句倒,受罪如优钵)。 问:什么是不能语地狱? 答:不能语地狱是须揵提(极香花)、拘物度(白花)、分陀黎、钵暮(藕花。修妒路)。这四种地狱不能说话,只有极冷的疾风吹在身上,使身体僵硬。须揵提(修妒路)、拘物度、分陀黎、藕花,随着各自的形象,身体更加痛苦,叹息喘气,身体战栗,住在这里诽谤贤人,像须揵提这样的一切罪恶都受这种苦。这样十劫结束,这就是寒地狱的第十种。四方之间轮围山(铁围山)靠近,狭窄如...

English version *Duta* (*Shudulu*). These three cold hells can speak. Those *Tsuqi* (counting from *Shu Kuli* to one hundred, then again to one hundred, five times like this, named *Tsuqi*), their number is like ten *Magadha* (a country's people) using sesame seeds, loading one *dan* into twenty piles, reciting for a hundred years, taking one sesame seed, even then, the time can still be exhausted. Like this hundred years, the lifespan of those *Tsuqi* hell beings is like this. Four handfuls make one *sheng*, four *sheng* make one *Du Long Nai*, sixteen *Du Long Nai* make one *Qielie* (take), twenty *Qielie* make one *dan*. Like this, the lifespan increases tenfold, becoming *Bu Tsuqi*. Using this tenfold to calculate, the rest can also be known. If it is in the *Bu Tsuqi* hell, because of the cold, blisters grow on the body, therefore it is called *Bu Tsuqi* (countless blisters on the body). There is no empty space on the body, all filled with blisters, therefore it is called *Bu Tsuqi*. The name of the war hell is Cold Inner *Songluo*, fighting and shouting 'Abo Abo' there. Question: What is the *Bu Liao Yu* hell? Answer: The *Bu Liao Yu* hells are *Azhaxiu*, *Zhaxiu*, *Youbo* (*Shudulu*). These three *Bu Liao Yu* hells, when greatly oppressed, cannot endure the suffering, calling out '*Azhaxiu*', '*Zhaxiu*', making such unclear sounds, the skin and flesh fall off like *Youbo Luo* flowers (skin falls off but flesh remains), because of extreme cold, causing the skin to fall off like *Youbo Luo* flowers, the whole body is like this. They slander virtuous people here, therefore they suffer the punishment of the *Youbo Luo* hell (sentence reversed, suffering punishment like *Youbo*). Question: What is the *Bu Neng Yu* hell? Answer: The *Bu Neng Yu* hells are *Xuqiantipo* (extremely fragrant flower), *Juwudu* (white flower), *Fentuli*, *Bomo* (lotus flower. *Shudulu*). These four hells cannot speak, only extremely cold strong winds blow on the body, making the body stiff. *Xuqiantipo* (*Shudulu*), *Juwudu*, *Fentuli*, lotus flower, according to their respective forms, the body suffers even more, sighing and panting, the body trembling, staying here slandering virtuous people, like *Xuqiantipo*, all such sins receive this suffering. Like this, ten *kalpas* end, this is the tenth of the cold hells. The *Lunwei* mountains (Iron Enclosure Mountains) on the four sides are close, narrow like... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
