English version The Four Realms The darkness prison (Heian Yu) that arises later makes it impossible for people to see their own form. Your Majesty is naturally a lamp of wisdom (Hui Deng), do not follow the long darkness again. In the eight great hells, there are the sufferings of burning, roasting, slaughtering, and cutting. All kinds of tortures are experienced, and the pain is immeasurable and incomparable. If someone follows ignorance and delusion, creating all kinds of evil karma. In the space of a breath, hearing these great sufferings. If his heart is not frightened, then he is like a person of wood and stone. The eyes see the images of retribution, and also hear the wise ones explain. They adopt the Buddha's scriptures and truly contemplate in their hearts. Then they should feel great fear, let alone experience it themselves? Among all the sufferings endured, the suffering of Avici Hell (Wuze) is the greatest. Among all the pleasures enjoyed, the exhaustion of desire is the first pleasure. Three times each day and night, three hundred spears pierce the body. Wanting to compare the suffering of Avici Hell, a hundred thousand times is not enough to describe it. Countless kinds of tortures, seeking death is impossible. Enduring the punishment for hundreds of thousands of years, the evil karma must be exhausted before it ends. The unclean and painful retribution is the result of body, speech, and mind as seeds. If the seeds are not planted, there will be no fruit, Your Majesty should cut off the root of suffering. If one falls into the animal realm (Chusheng Qu), there is the suffering of being bound and killed. Because of greed, harm, and a crazed mind, they form grudges and devour each other. Or because people want to obtain jewels, fur, tails, skin, flesh, and bones. Therefore, they lose their lives, suffering the pain of dissection, skinning, and cutting. A fine horse has great strength, but must wear a neck yoke and endure the suffering of being ridden. If it is wild and untamed, it will suffer whipping and flogging. Hungry ghosts think of food and drink, but what they think of never exists. Forced by hunger, thirst, cold, and heat, there is no rest in the long night. Or the body is as huge as a mountain, but the throat is as thin as a needlepoint. Hunger and thirst burn inside, but facing food, they cannot swallow it. Or they see feces, pus, and saliva, and run and rush in groups to grab them. But when they arrive, they naturally disappear, and the loss of hope increases suffering and distress. Hunger and thirst torment their insides, and tumors, goiters, and carbuncles grow on their bodies. They further grab and fight each other, gnawing and sucking pus and blood. The emaciated sores are skin and bones, naked with long hair disheveled. The body is as thin as a dry tree, and blazing flames spew from the mouth. Turning around to burn their own bodies, the shape is like a burning Tala tree. Being in summer, hoping for the coolness of the night.

English version The moonlight increases the cold, In winter, people long for the warmth of daytime; when the sun rises, the ice becomes even more frozen. Towards the trees, the fruits will melt; towards the river, the water will dry up. Having passed through fifteen thousand years, Sustaining life through karma, yet unable to stop. Enduring immeasurable suffering for a long time, This is all due to the karmic causes from past lives. Various afflictions press upon, Pure suffering, without any interruption. Greedy and stingy, extremely attached, The Buddha said this is the cause of falling into the realm of hungry ghosts. Although being born in the heavens is joyful, When the blessings are exhausted, there will be great suffering. This is not the fruit of the wise and holy, The wise do not rely on it. The body loses its luster, No longer enjoying the original seat. The flower crown on the head suddenly withers and falls, Dust suddenly adheres to the body. Sweat flows from the armpits, One should know that the time of death has arrived. The pure karma of the good realms is exhausted, And one will fall again into the three evil paths. Or be born as an Asura (a warlike deity), Often troubled by greed and jealousy. Even if one has wisdom and intelligence, Ultimately, one cannot see the true truth. In the six realms (six destinies) of samsara, The cycle continues without ceasing. Do not accept the supreme Dharma and be reborn, Because birth is a vessel for enduring many sufferings. Even if a flame is burning on the top of your head, Maintain right mindfulness, and carefully do not think about it. Do not accept future karmic retribution, Concentrate diligently on cultivating Discipline (Sila), meditation (Dhyana), and wisdom (Prajna), Be peaceful, subdued, and unmoving. One should seek the path of Nirvana, Ultimately to be free from the cycle of birth and death. Mindfulness, investigation of Dharma, diligence, Joy, tranquility, Samadhi, equanimity, These seven factors of enlightenment (Seven Bodhyangas), Are the pure path of nectar. Without wisdom, one cannot enter meditation, Without meditation, there is no wisdom. When both are accomplished, One can transcend the stream of birth and death. The boundless ocean of great suffering, Looks as shallow as water in a cow's footprint. The fourteen unanswerable questions (Fourteen Unanswered Questions), The Buddha said one should not contemplate. This is not a safe path, Nor is it a place of extinction. Ignorance (Avidya) conditions volitional formations (Samskara), Which in turn conditions consciousness (Vijnana). Name and form (Namarupa) arise from consciousness, The six sense bases (Sadayatana) arise from name and form. The six sense bases give rise to six contacts (Sparsa), From contact arise feelings (Vedana). Feelings are the cause of craving (Trsna), From craving arise four kinds of clinging (Upadana). The four kinds of clinging give rise to becoming (Bhava), Because of craving, there is future birth. From birth comes old age and death, Sorrow, grief, and various sufferings. The gathering of immeasurable sufferings, When birth ceases, all is extinguished. What is shown by the most supreme one, Is the profound and subtle law of dependent origination (Pratityasamutpada).

能正观察 真实见之上 如是真实见 是则为见佛 正见正思惟 正语正业命 正念正方便 及正三摩提 八分圣贤道 寂灭当修习 生为真谛苦 恩爱则是集 苦灭名解脱 到彼谓八道 为见彼真谛 常勤修正智 虽处五欲乐 慧者能出离 能证正法者 皆从凡夫起 不从虚空堕 亦不从地出 明哲无畏王 领要不待烦 宜修正法桥 越度生死渊 如上诸深法 出家犹难精 况复御世主 而能具足行 随时渐修习 勿令日空过 一切人修善 常生随喜心 自行三种业 正回向佛道 当于未来世 受此无量福 常生天人中 得为自在王 与大菩萨众 游戏诸神通 方便化众生 严净佛国土 施戒慧为种 往返人天中 无垢净名称 流布十方国 世间导人主 上生化天王 令舍五欲乐 远离诸放逸 众生迷正济 漂浪随四流 无量生死苦 度令至彼岸 缘此成佛道 究竟大涅槃 劝发诸王要偈 现代汉语译本 能够以正确的观察方式，如实地见到真理，这样的真实见解，就是见到了佛。 正确的见解、正确的思维、正确的言语、正确的行为、正确的生命、正确的念头、正确的精进以及正确的禅定，这八个部分构成了圣贤之道，应当修习以达到寂灭的境界。 生存的本质是苦，恩爱是产生苦的原因。苦的止息称为解脱，达到解脱的途径就是八正道。 为了见到这些真谛，应当经常勤奋地修正自己的智慧。 即使身处五欲的快乐之中，有智慧的人也能从中解脱出来。 能够证悟正法的人，都是从凡夫开始的，不是从虚空中掉下来的，也不是从地里冒出来的。 明智而无畏的君王，掌握要领而不感到烦恼，应该修造正法的桥梁，以越过生死的深渊。 像上面所说的这些深奥的佛法，即使是出家人也很难精通，更何况是治理国家的君主，要完全做到就更难了。 应该随时逐渐地修习，不要让日子空过。对于一切人所做的善事，要常常生起随喜之心。 自己实行身、口、意三种善业，并且正确地回向于成佛之道，那么在未来的世间，就能获得无量的福报。 常常出生在天界或人间，成为自在的君王，与大菩萨们一起，游戏各种神通。 方便地教化众生，庄严清净佛的国土。以布施、持戒、修慧作为种子，在人天之间往返。 没有瑕疵的清净名声，流布在十方世界。世间的引导者和君主，上升到天界化作天王。 让他们舍弃五欲的快乐，远离各种放逸的行为。众生迷惑而找不到正确的道路，漂泊流浪在四种烦恼的洪流中。 经历无量生死的痛苦，引导他们到达解脱的彼岸。凭借这些功德成就佛道，最终达到大涅槃的境界。 劝勉诸位君王的重要偈颂。

English version Being able to observe correctly and truly see reality, such a true understanding is to see the Buddha. Right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right mindfulness, right effort, and right concentration – these eight parts constitute the Noble Eightfold Path, which should be practiced to attain Nirvana (Nirvana). The essence of existence is suffering (Dukkha), and attachment is the cause of suffering. The cessation of suffering is called liberation (Nirvana), and the path to liberation is the Eightfold Path. In order to see these truths, one should diligently cultivate one's wisdom. Even when amidst the pleasures of the five desires, the wise can liberate themselves from them. Those who can realize the Right Dharma all start from being ordinary beings; they do not fall from the sky, nor do they emerge from the ground. Wise and fearless kings, grasping the essentials without being troubled, should build the bridge of the Right Dharma to cross the abyss of birth and death. The profound Dharma mentioned above is difficult for even monks to master, let alone rulers of countries to fully practice. One should gradually cultivate at all times, not letting the days pass in vain. For all the good deeds done by everyone, one should always generate a heart of rejoicing. Practice the three good karmas of body, speech, and mind, and correctly dedicate them to the path of Buddhahood, so that in future lives, one can receive immeasurable blessings. Constantly be born in the heavens or among humans, becoming a sovereign king, playing with various supernatural powers together with great Bodhisattvas. Skillfully teach sentient beings, adorn and purify the Buddha's land. Take generosity (Dana), morality (Sila), and wisdom (Prajna) as seeds, traveling back and forth between humans and gods. A flawless and pure reputation spreads throughout the ten directions. The guide and ruler of the world ascends to the heavens and transforms into a heavenly king. Let them abandon the pleasures of the five desires and stay away from all kinds of indulgence. Sentient beings are confused and cannot find the right path, drifting and wandering in the four currents of affliction. Enduring immeasurable suffering of birth and death, guide them to the other shore of liberation. Relying on these merits, one achieves Buddhahood and ultimately attains the Great Nirvana. Essential verses to encourage all kings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
