English version: Karmic Retribution. At that time, the assembly, having heard these words, slightly relieved their sorrow and grief, and requested again, 'The sixteen great Arhats you mentioned, we do not know what their names are.' Qingyou (Celebrated Friend) replied, 'The first venerable one is named Pindola Bharadvaja (the first of the Sixteen Arhats), the second venerable one is named Kanakavatsa (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the third venerable one is named Kanakabharadvaja (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the fourth venerable one is named Suvinda (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the fifth venerable one is named Nakula (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the sixth venerable one is named Bhadra (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the seventh venerable one is named Kalika (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the eighth venerable one is named Vajraputra (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the ninth venerable one is named Subhaka (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the tenth venerable one is named Panthaka (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the eleventh venerable one is named Rahula (Buddha's son), the twelfth venerable one is named Nagasena (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the thirteenth venerable one is named Ingata (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the fourteenth venerable one is named Vanavasin (one of the Sixteen Arhats), the fifteenth venerable one is named Ajita (one of the Sixteen Arhats), and the sixteenth venerable one is named Cudapanthaka (one of the Sixteen Arhats).' These sixteen great Arhats all possess immeasurable merits such as the Three Clear Knowledges, Six Supernatural Powers, and Eight Deliverances. They are free from the defilements of the Three Realms, recite and uphold the Three Baskets (Tripitaka), and are well-versed in external scriptures. Because they have received the Buddha's command, they extend their lifespans with supernatural powers, and until the World-Honored One's True Dharma should abide in the world, they constantly attend and protect it, and serve as true fields of merit for donors, enabling those who give to receive great karmic rewards. At that time, the Bhikshus, Bhikshunis, and others requested again, 'We do not know where these sixteen venerable ones mostly reside, protecting the True Dharma and benefiting sentient beings.' Qingyou (Celebrated Friend) replied, 'The first venerable one, with his retinue of one thousand Arhats, mostly resides in Western Godaniya Continent. The second venerable one, with his retinue of five hundred Arhats, mostly resides in the northern country of Kashmir. The third venerable one, with his retinue of six hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Eastern Purvavideha Continent. The fourth venerable one, with his retinue of seven hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Northern Uttarakuru Continent. The fifth venerable one, with his retinue of eight hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Southern Jambudvipa Continent. The sixth venerable one, with his retinue of nine hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Tamradvipa. The seventh venerable one, with his retinue of one thousand Arhats, mostly resides in Simhala (Sri Lanka). The eighth venerable one, with his retinue of one thousand one hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Parasika (Persia). The ninth venerable one, with his retinue of nine hundred Arhats, mostly resides in the Fragrant Intoxication Mountain.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 十尊者与自眷属千三百阿罗汉。多分住在三十三天。第十一尊者与自眷属千一百阿罗汉。多分住在毕利飏瞿洲。第十二尊者与自眷属千二百阿罗汉。多分住在半度波山。第十三尊者与自眷属千三百阿罗汉。多分住在广胁山中。第十四尊者与自眷属千四百阿罗汉。多分住在可住山中。第十五尊者与自眷属千五百阿罗汉。多分住在鹫峰山中。第十六尊者与自眷属千六百阿罗汉。多分住在持轴山中。诸仁者若此世界。一切国王辅相大臣长者居士。若男若女发殷净心。为四方僧设大施会。或设五年无遮施会。或庆寺庆像庆经幡等施设大会。或延请僧至所住处设大福会。或诣寺中经行处等。安布上妙诸坐卧具。衣药饮食奉施僧众。时此十六大阿罗汉。及诸眷属随其所应分散往赴。现种种形蔽隐圣仪。同常凡众密受供具。令诸施主得胜果报。如是十六大阿罗汉。护持正法饶益有情。至此南赡部洲人寿极短至于十岁。刀兵劫起互相诛戮。佛法尔时当暂灭没。刀兵劫后人寿渐增至百岁位。此洲人等厌前刀兵残害苦恼复乐修善。时此十六大阿罗汉。与诸眷属复来人中。称扬显说无上正法。度无量众令其出家。为诸有情作饶益事。如是乃至此洲人寿六万岁时。无上正法流行世间炽然无息。后至人寿七万岁时。无上正法方永灭没。时此十六大阿罗汉。与诸眷属于此洲地俱来集会。以神通力用诸七宝造窣堵波严丽高广。释迦牟尼如来应正等觉。所有遗身驮 { "translations": [ "现代汉语译本：", "第十尊者（Arhat）与他的一千三百位阿罗汉眷属，大多住在三十三天（佛教宇宙观中的一个天界）。", "第十一尊者（Arhat）与他的一千一百位阿罗汉眷属，大多住在毕利飏瞿洲（Purva-videha，东胜身洲）。", "第十二尊者（Arhat）与他的一千二百位阿罗汉眷属，大多住在半度波山（Pandava Mountain）。", "第十三尊者（Arhat）与他的一千三百位阿罗汉眷属，大多住在广胁山中。", "第十四尊者（Arhat）与他的一千四百位阿罗汉眷属，大多住在可住山中。", "第十五尊者（Arhat）与他的一千五百位阿罗汉眷属，大多住在鹫峰山中（灵鹫山，位于今印度比哈尔邦）。", "第十六尊者（Arhat）与他的一千六百位阿罗汉眷属，大多住在持轴山中。", "诸位仁者，如果这个世界（指我们所居住的娑婆世界）的一切国王、辅相、大臣、长者、居士，无论是男人还是女人，发出真诚清净的心，为四方僧（来自四面八方的僧侣）设置大型布施法会，或者设置五年一次的无遮施会（不加限制的布施法会），或者庆祝寺庙、佛像、经幡等设置大型法会，或者邀请僧侣到所居住的地方设置大型祈福法会，或者前往寺庙中的经行处等地方，安置上好的各种坐卧用具，用衣服、药物、饮食供奉僧众。", "这时，这十六位大阿罗汉，以及他们的眷属，会根据情况分散前往，显现各种各样的形态，隐藏圣者的威仪，如同普通的凡人一样秘密地接受供养，使各位施主得到殊胜的果报。这十六位大阿罗汉，护持正法，饶益有情众生，直到这南赡部洲（Jambudvipa，我们所居住的地球）的人寿极其短暂，只有十岁的时候，刀兵劫（战争灾难）兴起，人们互相诛杀，佛法在那个时候将会暂时灭没。", "刀兵劫过后，人寿逐渐增加到一百岁的时候，这个洲的人们厌倦了之前的刀兵残害的痛苦，又喜欢修行善事。这时，这十六位大阿罗汉，与他们的眷属，再次来到人间，称扬显说无上的正法，度化无量的众生，让他们出家，为各种有情众生做饶益的事情。像这样直到这个洲的人寿达到六万岁的时候，无上的正法在世间流行，炽盛而不停止。后来到了人寿七万岁的时候，无上的正法才永远灭没。", "这时，这十六位大阿罗汉，与他们的眷属，在这个洲的土地上一起到来，用神通力，用各种七宝建造窣堵波（Stupa，佛塔），非常庄严美丽高大，用来安放释迦牟尼如来应正等觉（Sakyamuni Tathagata Arhat Samyaksambuddha）的所有遗身（舍利）。", "english_translations": [ "English version:", "The tenth Arhat, along with his retinue of thirteen hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Trayastrimsa (the Heaven of Thirty-Three).", "The eleventh Arhat, along with his retinue of eleven hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Purva-videha (Eastern Videha Continent).", "The twelfth Arhat, along with his retinue of twelve hundred Arhats, mostly resides on Pandava Mountain.", "The thirteenth Arhat, along with his retinue of thirteen hundred Arhats, mostly resides in the Wide Ridge Mountain.", "The fourteenth Arhat, along with his retinue of fourteen hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Habitable Mountain.", "The fifteenth Arhat, along with his retinue of fifteen hundred Arhats, mostly resides on Vulture Peak Mountain (Grdhrakuta Mountain, located in present-day Bihar, India).", "The sixteenth Arhat, along with his retinue of sixteen hundred Arhats, mostly resides in Axis-Holding Mountain.", "O virtuous ones, if in this world (referring to the Saha world where we live), all kings, advisors, ministers, elders, and laypeople, whether male or female, generate sincere and pure minds, and establish large-scale almsgiving ceremonies for the Sangha from all directions, or establish five-year unrestricted almsgiving ceremonies, or celebrate temples, Buddha images, prayer flags, and other large-scale ceremonies, or invite the Sangha to their residences to establish large-scale blessing ceremonies, or go to places such as the walking paths in temples, and arrange excellent sitting and sleeping accommodations, offering clothing, medicine, and food to the Sangha.", "At this time, these sixteen great Arhats, along with their retinues, will disperse and go according to the circumstances, manifesting various forms, concealing the demeanor of saints, secretly receiving offerings like ordinary mortals, so that all donors may obtain supreme rewards.
