菩薩處胎經全身舍利品第九
Chapter 9: Bodhisattva in the Womb - Full Body Relics
爾時,世尊告諸來會者:「念我古昔所行功德,捨身受身非一非二,今當為汝說一形法。云何名一形法?此大地種,厚八十四萬億里;乃有利風,厚八十四萬億里;風下有水,厚八十四萬億里;水下有火,厚八十四萬億里;火下有沙,厚八十四萬億里;沙下有金剛剎,厚八十四萬億里,諸佛全身舍利,盡在彼金剛剎中。金剛剎復厚八十四萬億里,下有諸佛碎身舍利,盡在彼剎。彼有佛剎名曰妙音(丹本香),佛名不住如來,十號具足,今現在說法,初善、中善、竟善。淨修梵行國土成就彼佛舍利極小微細,能現佛身弟子眷屬周旋授化,如我今日處胎說法。彼諸眾生不見我,我此眾生不見彼,破有至無永寂寞性住無疑處,是謂一舍利之所感也。」佛復告諸來會者:「碎身舍利下,厚八十四萬億里,國土名清淨,佛名遍光十號具足,彼佛今現在說法,初、中、竟善,淨修梵行。彼佛光明色色各異,一一光明皆成就佛,一一諸佛盡說六度無極。何謂六度?布施、持戒、忍辱、精進、禪定、智慧,善權方便降伏心識,不生愚癡,無婬、無欲,曉了觀法如月除雲。復自觀身彼我無異,心得空定皆悉成就,端坐道場稱揚正法無怯弱心。去此下方光明佛剎,八十四萬億里,有土名曰施無盡藏,佛號觀(丹鄉勸)助如來,十號具足,今現在說法,初、中、竟善,常修梵行,所施惠物,有人執持便得道果,是謂如來一未曾有施。無盡世界下有法鼓世界,厚八十四萬億里,佛名善見,十號具足,今現在說法。彼土眾生,盡同一姓一字無若干名,聞法則解不重思惟,彼土乃有全身舍利,過去億千萬佛皆留舍利。彼土舍利,我亦有分非一非二。彼佛舍利不住一處非不住,周旋往來恒河沙剎土,光相具足隨眾生化無懈怠者,三十一億結使斷滅,妄想纏連二萬二千,十八持勝不共之法,示現教化受無畏證。」
At that time, the World-Honored One addressed the assembled assembly: "Remember the meritorious deeds I performed in ancient times. I abandoned one body and took on another, not just once or twice. Now I will explain to you the Dharma of a single form. What is this singular Dharma? This great earth element is 84 trillion miles thick. Above it is a wind element, also 84 trillion miles thick. Below the wind is water, 84 trillion miles thick. Below the water is fire, 84 trillion miles thick. Below the fire is sand, 84 trillion miles thick. Below the sand is a vajra realm, 84 trillion miles thick. The complete bodily relics of all Buddhas are within that vajra realm. Again, the vajra realm is 84 trillion miles thick, and beneath it lie the fragmented bodily relics of all Buddhas, also within that realm. There is a Buddha realm called Wonderful Sound. (In another version, 'Fragrant')The Buddha there is called the Thus Come One of Non-Abiding, possessing the ten epithets in full. He is currently expounding the Dharma; his teaching is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end. The pure cultivation of the holy life and the perfect land where that Buddha resides display his relics, which are extremely subtle and minute. Yet they can manifest the Buddha’s body, disciples, and assembly, moving about and transforming beings—just as I, today, while dwelling in a womb, deliver teachings. Those beings do not see me, and my beings do not see them. They shatter existence until they reach non-existence, eternally abiding in tranquility, dwelling in a state free from doubt. This is the effect of a single relic."
The Buddha then addressed the assembly: "Beneath the fragmented bodily relics, 84 trillion miles down, there is a land called Purified. The Buddha there is called Universal Light, possessing the ten epithets in full. That Buddha is currently expounding the Dharma, good in the beginning, middle, and end; the pure cultivation of the holy life is thriving. That Buddha’s light is of various colors, each distinct. Each beam of light perfects and becomes a Buddha, and each of these Buddhas fully expounds the six perfections. What are the six? Generosity, moral discipline, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom. Through skillful means, they subdue the mind and consciousness, giving rise to no ignorance, no lust, no desire. They clearly perceive the nature of phenomena like the moon emerging from the clouds. They then contemplate their own body as not different from others, attain the Samadhi of Emptiness, and are fully accomplished. Upright in the seat of enlightenment, they proclaim the true Dharma without any timidity.
"Below this realm, 84 trillion miles directly beneath the radiant Buddha land, there is a land called the Inexhaustible Treasury of Giving. The Buddha there is the Thus Come One of Encouraging Assistance, possessing the ten epithets in full. He is currently expounding the Dharma, good in the beginning, middle, and end; always cultivating the holy life. For any gift offered, those who receive it attain the fruit of the path simply by holding it. This is an unprecedented act of giving by the Thus Come One."
"The Inexhaustible Treasury world is beneath the Dharma Drum world, 84 trillion miles thick. The Buddha there is called Good Vision, possessing the ten epithets in full. He is currently expounding the Dharma. The beings in that land all share a single surname and one name—no differing names. Upon hearing the Dharma, they immediately understand without further thought. That land contains complete bodily relics; countless Buddhas over millions of eons have left their relics there. I have my share of those relics, not just one kind or two. Those Buddha relics do not dwell in a single place, yet not a single place is without them. They travel widely, journeying through Buddha lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, fully endowed with light and form, ceaselessly transforming beings—never lax. Their thirty-one billion burdens of afflictions are extinguished; their twenty-two thousand entanglements of false imagination are severed; they possess the eighteen unique qualities of a Buddha and demonstrate the supreme teachings of fearlessness to transform beings."
爾時世尊,即說偈言:
At that time, the World-Honored One spoke these verses:
「吾從無數劫, 往來生死道;
捨身復受身, 不離胞胎生。
計我所經歷, 記一不說餘;
純作白狗形, 積骨億須彌,
以針刺地種, 無不值我體;
何況餘色狗, 其數不可量。
吾故攝其心, 不令道放逸,
如人立須彌, 執不死藥執,
下人以瓶承, 注藥不遺落,
中間諸艱難, 隨嵐風所吹。
凡夫身如塵, 唯除入住人;
此二持瓶人, 何者為最妙?
下人執心正, 恒恐東西波;
受藥不失義, 故名神足道。
上有大慈心, 一說不尋究;
意識各各異, 成道亦如是。
我此苦忍界, 成佛由下人;
積行阿僧祇, 乃能成佛道。
從剎至一剎, 如是數千億;
如針投於海, 舒手便得之。
無慧抒水求, 積劫不能得;
世間愚惑人, 不別善惡行。
須彌四寶山, 謂為灰堆聚;
金翅飛鳥王, 謂呼蚊蚋是。
夏熱牛跡蟲, 不覩海廣大;
日光實野馬, 愚者謂火焰。
彼法非我造, 愚惑行自成;
出入識無間, 鍊精道術成。」
"For countless eons I wandered, Through the cycle of birth and death; Casting off bodies and taking new ones, Never free from the womb's grasp.
If I were to count my existences, And record just one type alone— Solely lives as a white dog— Their piled bones would equal Mount Sumeru.
Were you to pierce the ground with needles, Every one would strike my body; So many has my life been In other shades of dog as well, their numbers beyond measure.
Thus I rein in my mind, And do not let my path slacken. It is like a person standing on Mount Sumeru, Holding a vial of the deathless potion, While a person below catches it in a bottle, Pouring the medicine without spilling a drop.
Despite all the obstacles along the way— Winds of chaos swirling all around— An ordinary person's body is like dust, Except for those who have firmly taken hold.
Of these two who hold the bottle, Which one is the best? The one below holds their mind steady, Always wary of being swept east and west; Receiving the medicine without losing its meaning— Thus it is called the 'Path of Psychic Power.'
The one above has great compassion, But speaks once and does not pursue deeply; Each person's awareness is different, And achieving the path is likewise.
In this world of patience and suffering, Becoming a Buddha comes from the one below; Accumulating practice over countless eons, Only then can Buddhahood be attained.
From one realm to another, In such countless billions— Like a needle thrown into the sea, One reaches out and takes it instantly.
Those without wisdom, scooping for water, May search for eons but never find it. The foolish and deluded in this world, Cannot tell good deeds from bad.
Mount Sumeru of four precious jewels— They call it a heap of ash; The great king of the golden-winged birds— They call it a mosquito or gnat.
The summer-heat insect in a cow's track, Cannot see the vastness of the ocean; Sunlight is truly a mare's mirage, But fools say it's fire.
That truth is not my creation— Delusion and ignorance act on their own; But when awareness flows without interruption— Refined, practiced—the path is complete."
爾時,世尊即說呪曰:
At that time, the World-Honored One recited a mantra:
「伊禰魔禰 茶譬茶離譬淳同 翅離翅」
爾時,毘沙門大天王,即從坐起頭面禮佛足,「我當擁護行法善人、善男子、善女人,擁護其身三光三影。何等為三光三影?如我今日領羅剎眾,身影,身身影,影影。」
「何等為身影?何等為身身影?何等為影影?」爾時世尊,即以偈說曰:
「身為四大聚, 地、水、火、風成;
來往周旋處, 住亦不見住。
身及身身者, 周生年蛻身;
影影三句義, 如佛留神光。
白㲲裹魔祇, 香去處故香;
諸佛此要法, 清淨無瑕穢。
身身影教化, 度不得度脫;
或見身相法, 入定身身念,
影影無狐疑, 悉成無上道。」
爾時,提頭賴吒,欲得擁護諸法師,即說呪曰:
「伊醯 魔醯 閻浮 閻嵐浮突突勒翅
「我當擁護法師,億千百萬由旬內,令無嬈亂者。」
毘樓勒叉天王,即從坐起前白佛言:「我亦擁護真實法師。」即說呪曰:
「伽梨 伽羅梨 尼稚 究槃稚
「令億百萬由旬內無有觸嬈者。」
毘樓搏叉天王,即從坐起頭面禮足,前白佛言:「世尊!我當擁護真實法師。」即說呪曰:
「舍彌舍彌鉢婆大磨樓醯
「令百億由旬內無有觸嬈者。」爾時世尊,即說偈曰:
「花香色極妙, 感動諸佛國;
佛從無想念, 成佛一向道。
忍力無壃界, 破有無二乘;
全身舍利相, 及與微細塵,
拯濟恒沙等, 不墮三惡趣。
佛出勤苦劫, 覆護行大慈;
眾生無邊際, 令成無上道。」
爾時,座中三十二億眾生,即發無上平等道意。
