ZP00 0019.The play of the Lotus Garden, a tale in accordance with the divine Dharma..g2.0f

English

Don't call me. The delightful garden in the human realm. The enjoyment of fortunate and harmonious bees. The great joy of generosity is the karma of previous lives. Even if beautiful, it is the nature of impermanent samsara. Even if wealthy, it is the illusory enjoyment. Even if used, the deception of desires cannot be satisfied. Meaningless is the place of samsara. You too, put on armor for your mind. I too, will paint on my heart. What change is there in a decided agreement? Let's happily and harmoniously embark on the path of Dharma. Accumulated wealth has no meaning. Even if you search diligently, it is the enjoyment of others. The retinue you protect has no meaning. Even if protected with love, it is the enemy's sway. The stacked castle has no meaning. Thinking of benefiting, it becomes a life-cutting torrent. The cultivated field has no meaning. Considered good, it is a slaughterhouse for insects. However, it needs to be extended slowly. Hasty actions cannot be completed from beginning to end. If the vow of the heart is written on the heart, your own mind will be more free. So it is said. At that time, a sage named Dondrup (义成) lived in that area. He possessed a loving heart. He possessed peaceful conduct. He especially delighted in benefiting beings. When he arrived there, two bees went to him and respectfully prostrated. They offered the sweetness of honey. They greeted him with pleasant words and prayed: "Alas! Alas! Great heavenly sage. You are the representative of the teacher, please speak the Dharma that is like the teacher's teachings. You are the lamp of the teachings, please speak the Dharma that is the essence of practice. You are the holy Sangha, please show the conduct of the sons of the Victorious Ones. I also wish to follow in the footsteps of the venerable one to learn." After praying in this way, the sage, although knowing, still revealed a joyful expression. He enhanced the radiance of his body, He raised the volume of his voice and spoke the Dharma: Namo Ārya Dampa. (藏文,梵文天城体,梵文罗马拟音,汉语字面意思) The best of men, the protector, became the god of gods. The incomparable tamer, the charioteer. I prostrate to that supreme being. Please turn the minds of the six realms towards the Dharma. Two small bees who were connected by karma from the past. If you sincerely practice the Dharma, please pay attention to these points. Please analyze the necessity of the Victorious One's teachings. The essence of Dharma.

请放在心里。唉呀!六道轮回的众生们,从前就在轮回的此地漂泊了很久,后来业和烦恼的错觉也没有穷尽。无数的劫中,连听闻三宝(དཀོན་མཆོག,Deva-ratna,deva-ratna,天尊宝)的名号也很难,能遇到佛陀的教法就像星星一样稀少。现在第四导师净饭王的儿子,导师中的至尊释迦牟尼佛降临世间,三次转动法轮,圆满了五百乘十的教法量。自己有修持佛法的意愿,在具足顺缘,被善知识摄受的此时,如果不用心修持佛法,以后就不会生在这样的地方,连听闻三宝的名号也很难。唉呀!错觉的轮回世间人,执着于无实义的组合事物为常有。外面的器世界,器世界的地水火风空五大元素是不常有的,里面的有情众生,生命是不常有的,中间的四季日月的光辉是不常有的,国王和佛子等圣人,也请看他们示现无常涅槃的方式。世间最大的梵天自在天,众生的主宰,何况是被死主用绳索牵引呢?谁也不知道何时会死,这里没有死亡的定准。死亡的因缘多,生存的因缘少。因此如果不迅速修持佛法,死亡何时到来是无法确定的,所有的众生都像被关进屠宰场的牲畜一样。唉呀!死后不是什么都没有,而是去往轮回的此地再次受生。无论生在哪里都没有安乐的时候,十八地狱被寒热痛苦煎熬,饿鬼饥渴,畜生互相吞食,人类寿命短促,阿修罗争斗,天人放逸散乱,死亡堕落。无论在哪里都没有安乐,都是火坑。生和生世的痛苦连续不断地轮回,应该对轮回的法生起厌离心。唉呀!安乐和痛苦由业所生,业是造作者,如同画师一般。业成熟了,百劫也不会空耗。自己所造的业,他人不会感受,也不会改变。善业成就善趣天界解脱,恶业成就恶趣轮回痛苦。即使是微小的因,也会成熟广大的果。天界的安乐幸福和财富,以及恶趣地狱的痛苦

Please keep it in mind. Alas! Sentient beings in the six realms of samsara, have long wandered in this place of samsara since before, and later the illusion of karma and afflictions has not been exhausted. In countless eons, even hearing the name of the Three Jewels is difficult, encountering the Buddha's teachings is as rare as stars. Now the fourth guide, the son of King Śuddhodana, the supreme among guides, Shakyamuni Buddha, has come to the world, turned the wheel of Dharma three times, and perfected the measure of the teachings of five hundred times ten. One has the desire to practice the Dharma, and at this time when the favorable conditions are complete and one is embraced by a virtuous friend, if one does not sincerely practice the Dharma, one will not be born in such a place in the future, and even hearing the name of the Three Jewels will be difficult. Alas! The deluded worldly people of samsara, cling to impermanent compounded things as permanent. The outer container world, the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and space of the container world are impermanent, the inner sentient beings, life is impermanent, the glory of the four seasons and the sun and moon in between is impermanent, even kings and bodhisattvas, please look at the way they show impermanent nirvana. Even the greatest Brahma and Indra, the lord of beings, what need is there to mention being dragged by the noose of the Lord of Death? No one knows when they will die, there is no certainty of death here. There are many causes of death and few causes of life. Therefore, if one does not quickly practice the Dharma, it is impossible to determine when death will come, all beings are like livestock trapped in a slaughterhouse. Alas! After death, it is not that there is nothing, but one goes to this place of samsara to be born again. No matter where one is born, there is no time of happiness, the eighteen hells are tormented by hot and cold suffering, the pretas are hungry and thirsty, the animals devour each other, humans have short lives, asuras fight and quarrel, gods are careless and distracted, and fall from death. No matter where there is no happiness, it is a pit of fire. Birth and the suffering of lifetimes continuously revolve, one should develop renunciation towards the Dharma of samsara. Alas! Happiness and suffering are caused by karma, karma is the creator, like a painter. When karma ripens, it will not be wasted even in a hundred eons. One's own actions will not be experienced by others, nor will they change. Virtuous deeds accomplish happiness, the heavens, liberation, and evil deeds accomplish suffering, the lower realms, and samsara. Even a small cause will ripen into a great result. The happiness, bliss, wealth of the gods in the heavens, and the suffering of the hells in the lower realms.

唉!痛苦虽然难以忍受, 乃是自己所造的业所生,没有其他原因。 因此无论何时何地, 都要以正念和正知,谨慎为基础, 认真对待因果取舍之理。 唉玛!引导解脱道的殊胜明灯, 一切功德的来源,善知识, 末法时代如同真佛般的行持者, 慈悲恩德无量胜过诸佛。 如果未依止真正的善知识, 犹如盲人进入没有目标的道路。 因此,如意宝、如意树, 首先要观察并依止圣洁的怙主, 最后学习其思想行为,心意相融。 如此有缘者不会落入魔的掌控, 将获得诸佛欢喜的妙道。 唉玛!寂灭涅槃的寂静之地, 远离轮回一切烦恼的妙法, 痛苦及其原因灭尽的真实究竟, 具有无漏道的解脱圣城, 诸佛菩萨的财富充满其中, 声闻缘觉圣者安住之处, 理应精勤修持那解脱之道。 唉玛!永不欺骗的殊胜皈依处, 无与伦比的珍贵三宝恩德者, 我们也因托付于彼皈依处而满足, 你们也理应投入于此皈依处。 若从内心深信恭敬地皈依, 三时永不欺骗,无与伦比的三宝, 能救脱轮回痛苦的三宝, 皈依所获福德等同虚空。 今生八难十六怖畏等, 消除一切不顺损害之众, 来世必定能从堕入恶趣轮回的 一切痛苦中解脱出来, 因此,时时忆念不忘三宝, 再三皈依并祈祷。 唉玛!是无量诸佛逝去的足迹, 是所有佛子唯一行走的道路, 无与伦比的殊胜菩提心珍宝, 请生起愿菩提心和行菩提心。 如此便能获得佛子之名, 从安乐道走向安乐之地, 证得圆满正等觉已为时不远。 三界众生皆是恩重如山的父母, 犹如无依无靠、失去朋友的盲人在荒野游荡, 虽欲求安乐,却行着痛苦之因。 对此

Alas! Although suffering is hard to bear, It is caused by one's own actions, there is no other cause. Therefore, at all times and in all circumstances, With mindfulness and awareness, based on caution, Be diligent in the principles of cause and effect, acceptance and rejection. Alas! The supreme lamp that guides the path to liberation, The source of all virtues, the virtuous friend, In the degenerate age, acting like a true Buddha, Compassion and kindness are immeasurable, surpassing all Buddhas. If one does not rely on a true virtuous friend, It is like a blind person entering a path without a destination. Therefore, like a wish-fulfilling jewel, a wish-fulfilling tree, First, examine and rely on the holy protector, Finally, learn their thoughts and actions, and blend your mind with theirs. Such fortunate ones will not fall under the power of demons, And will find the good path that pleases the Buddhas. Alas! The peaceful abode of Nirvana, The Dharma that is free from all the afflictions of Samsara, The true ultimate, where suffering and its causes are exhausted, The holy city of liberation, with the stainless path, Filled with the wealth of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, A place where the Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas reside, It is wise to strive to cultivate that path of liberation. Alas! The supreme refuge that never deceives, The incomparable, precious Three Jewels of kindness, We are also content because we have entrusted ourselves to that refuge, You should also devote yourselves to this refuge. If you take refuge with heartfelt faith and respect, The Three Jewels are incomparable, never deceiving at any time, The Three Jewels can save you from the suffering of Samsara, The merit of taking refuge is equal to the extent of the sky. In this life, the eight fears and sixteen dangers, etc., Eliminate all unfavorable and harmful forces, In the future, you will surely be liberated from all the sufferings of wandering in the evil realms of bad migrations, Therefore, always remember the Three Jewels without forgetting, Again and again, take refuge and pray. Alas! The footprints of countless Buddhas who have passed away, The only path traversed by all Bodhisattvas, The incomparable, supreme treasure of Bodhicitta, Please generate the aspiration and the engagement Bodhicitta. Thus, one will obtain the name of a Buddha's child, And go from the path of happiness to the place of happiness, Attaining perfect enlightenment is not far away. These beings of the three realms are kind parents, Like a helpless, friendless blind person wandering in the wilderness, Although they desire happiness, they engage in the causes of suffering.
