English version He took the clothes and all kinds of treasures, brought them home and took them to the market. He traded them for good meat and shared it with everyone. Isn't this a great plan? At that time, the foxes said to the fox king, 'We, the foxes, are afraid of humans. We steal pigs, sheep, and hunt wild animals, which is very hard work and we cannot make a living. Your Majesty has such wonderful skills, why don't you go quickly?' When the fox king heard this, he was moved. He silently recited the 'Abandoning Evil and Following Goodness Sutra'. For three days and three nights, he recited more than three hundred volumes of the Small Vehicle Nine-Part Bureau Teaching Sutra, understanding it thoroughly. Then, he changed his form and flew into the air, staying in front of the king's palace, one thousand feet above the ground, preaching the Dharma, just as he had said. The king of that country, the palace women, concubines, and hundreds and thousands of family members, as well as the citizens of the country, gathered together at once. They looked up, sighed, choked, and wept with sorrow. Seeing this scene, they deeply believed in it, with sincere intentions, but without understanding the truth. They blindly believed and obeyed. When the fox king saw this, he was very happy and thought to himself. The fox king said to the crowd, 'Sacrificing one's life for the Dharma, such teachings can reveal the truth.' But although these people heard the Dharma, none of them truly did it. In front of the palace, thirteen people gave up their lives at the same time. The fox said to the crowd, 'This is great, there is nothing better than this. Such teachings encourage people to give up their lives and property. You give me your treasures and fine clothes, and I will take them away.' So, the crowd exhausted everything, giving him their precious items and the clothes on their bodies. The fox king said to the crowd again, 'Those who give up their lives like this are the most excellent. I will use my divine power to take them away and place them in the treasure hall of Jade Mountain.' After saying these words, only a gust of wind was seen, and those dead people and all the treasures were taken away by him, leaving nothing behind. In this way, he went back and forth into the capital, passing □□ days. After the fox king got the dead people, he ate them, and then sent the fox to transform into a human, carrying the treasures to the market to buy meat. When he arrived at the butcher's shop, he discussed the price of the meat. Unexpectedly, there were several fierce dogs at the butcher's shop, fighting each other for bones, tearing at each other. When the fox saw the dogs, he was frightened and panicked, and suddenly turned back into the form of a fox. The dogs immediately pounced on him and bit him to death. The butcher got these treasures and dared not hide them, so he told the mayor and said to him: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Initially, someone visited another person with a treasure, jointly discussing the price of meat and promising to buy it. Subsequently, they saw dogs fighting, which suddenly transformed into a fox. The dogs immediately chased and killed the fox. I reported all the above matters, escalating it to the king. Upon seeing it, the king said, 'This is the treasure my youngest son plays with, originally intended to be offered to the Buddha. Why is it in the hands of a fox today?' At that time, there was a righteous person named Lingzhen (meaning righteous person), who immediately knelt down and reported to the king, 'Please grant me ten thousand deaths before I dare to speak.' The king then graciously said that even a hundred deaths would not be blamed; if there is anything to say, just say it. Lingzhen respectfully clasped his hands forward, approached the king, and reported, 'The one who preached in the air before was a fox spirit's sorcery. I wanted to say it at the time, but I was afraid of going against the king's will and dared not speak out. Now that I see this verification, I am willing to state the truth even if it means death.' The king asked Lingzhen, 'Why did you know it at that time?' Lingzhen replied, 'I only recited his scriptures but did not understand the meaning. He advised people to abandon evil and follow good, but there was no dissolving of right and wrong, no annihilation of gain and loss, no unity of each other, no integration of fragrance and stench. Emptying the mind and quieting the intention, all things are the same. With this verification, I knew it at that time. If flying is a sage, then wouldn't all flying birds be great sages?' The king said to Lingzhen, 'Wrong, what should be done?' Lingzhen said to the king, 'You can gather troops, assemble many generals and fierce dogs, defy that hill, cut off the heavenly seed, and let the right view prevail.' The king then adopted Lingzhen's words and ordered the army to choose an auspicious day to defy that hill. The fox transformed into a human to greet the king, but the fierce dogs rushed up, and the fox transformed back into its original form. The dogs immediately killed the fox, and all the treasures were recovered. The king then returned to the country and issued notices in various states, asking people to come and claim their lost items. This proves that all the countless words in the world, the mouth speaks as if it is right, but the heart is full of evil thoughts. Slandering the right Dharma, acting improperly, emotionally clinging to greed and acceptance. How should one distinguish? May the World Honored One clearly distinguish and explain, so that future generations of sentient beings may be free from deceptive words. The Buddha told Wuzheng Bodhisattva Mahasattva (meaning great Bodhisattva), 'What you ask is for all sentient beings in the future, upon hearing those who mix Buddhist teachings, to distinguish their right and wrong, truth and falsehood, and those who compete for gain and loss. You say that the Six Heretical Teachers (referring to six types of heretics), such as Titizi (founder of Jainism), and all their words, are only confined to their own sects, affirming the divine self and... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

体。推寻理路意在断常。九十五道杂类鬼神。入人身内住持建立而作鬼语。所有言说乍轻乍重都无首尾。虽言说善复言道恶浮祚沈意在贪取。小乘九部所有教法皆是一向断恶趣归善果附傍鬼神。是故鬼神妖魅片兴相似不正善恶。遂便妖通而能诵得。何以故。一切众生谄曲诈伪虚多实少。恳悦心傍常怀鬼意。是故大圣识机知变。附傍鬼心而与说法。不堪顿旧附而拉诱。渐渐前进引向圆教。虽有别教九部圆教十二。如此谄曲诈伪虚多实少。恳悦心佞。亦当读诵不解中义。消伏三毒。融是丧非。一向无之。如此之徒与彼狐魅妖术等无差异。举世无量信诳者众信实者少。是故以诳相诳而受诳语。既受诳已信顺于诳。没命丧身种种宝物常施与诳。何以故。盲无慧目。不睹真处圆融之理。复无真善知识第相诲约。居近恶友纯是不祥。设有正士而语实法。违于信诳反更相仇。是以读诵讲说乐著名闻自无消融。不语则已。语则贪□取法卖佛望空指注。岂非口便似正心处邪中。谤是行非情存取受。统束如此之徒名之为伪亦名为邪。如此邪伪是外邪伪。 悟正菩萨摩诃萨前白佛言。世尊如来照境玄见处远。豫知下方之事。唯愿慈尊说真说伪说正说邪。说内道说外道说理说表。令无量大众不为众惑所诳也。 佛告悟正菩萨摩诃萨 现代汉语译本 体：推究事物的道理，意在分辨断灭和常存的两种极端。九十五种外道杂类的鬼神，进入人体内居住，建立根据地，说鬼话。他们所说的话，时轻时重，没有头绪。虽然也说些善事，又说些恶事，贪图福报，沉迷于贪婪。小乘佛教的九个部类的所有教法，都是一味地断除恶趣，归向善果，依附于鬼神。因此，鬼神妖怪的邪说一时兴起，表面相似，不正当，不善良。于是就妖通，能够背诵经文。为什么呢？因为一切众生谄媚虚伪，虚情假意多，真心实意少，表面恭敬，内心却常常怀着鬼蜮伎俩。所以大圣人能识别时机，了解变化，依附于鬼神的心意而为他们说法，不一下子就改变他们原有的依附，而是引导他们，渐渐前进，引导他们走向圆满的教义。即使有别教的九部和圆教的十二部，像这样谄媚虚伪，虚情假意多，真心实意少，表面恭敬的人，也会读诵经文，却不理解其中的含义，消除三毒（贪嗔痴），融合是非，一概否定。这样的人和那些狐狸精妖怪的妖术没有什么区别。世上无数人相信虚妄，相信真实的人很少。所以用虚妄来欺骗虚妄，接受虚妄的言语。既然接受了虚妄，就相信顺从虚妄，不惜性命，丧失身体，把各种宝物常常施舍给虚妄。为什么呢？因为盲人没有智慧的眼睛，看不到真理，看不到圆融的道理。又没有真正的善知识来互相教诲约束，居住在恶友附近，全是不吉祥。即使有正直的人说真实的话，也违背了他们所相信的虚妄，反而互相仇视。因此，读诵讲说，喜欢追求名声，自己却不能消除烦恼。不说话就算了，一说话就贪婪，窃取佛法，出卖佛，指望空洞的承诺。这难道不是口头上好像很正，心里却邪恶吗？诽谤正法，行为不正，心里只想着贪取。统统像这样的人，叫做虚伪，也叫做邪恶。这样的邪恶虚伪是外在的邪恶虚伪。 悟正菩萨摩诃萨（Enlightenment Correct Bodhisattva Mahāsattva）向前对佛说：‘世尊，如来照见一切境界，玄妙地看到遥远的地方，预先知道下方的事情。只希望慈悲的世尊说出什么是真，什么是伪，什么是正，什么是邪，什么是内道，什么是外道，什么是理，什么是表，让无数的大众不被各种迷惑所欺骗。’ 佛告诉悟正菩萨摩诃萨（Enlightenment Correct Bodhisattva Mahāsattva）：
