description: "西晋时期高僧竺法护翻译的《佛说海龙王经》是大乘佛教重要经典之一。该经由佛陀向海龙王及其眷属宣说，强调众生平等、慈悲利他的菩萨行思想，并深入阐述缘起性空、因果业力的教义。经文以龙宫法会为背景，融合海洋神话与佛法哲理，形象生动。此经不仅展现了大乘佛教的包容性与实践性，还对汉传佛教伦理观念和民间信仰产生了深远影响，是研究早期大乘思想与文化交融的重要文献。"

### 舍利品第十七

> Chapter 17: Sariputra

爾時海龍王子及一切龍白佛言：「未曾有。世尊！如來所說普安一切，授諸龍決開化眷屬皆發道意。又以加恩乞施皂衣，使諸龍分。各以供養稽首奉事。緣是得護因發道意，慈愍眾生遵四等心慈悲喜護，興隆四恩惠施仁愛，利人等利一切救濟合聚。由此行德沙不雨身離於眾患，又寂意時不失天身，變為蛇虺臨食意後不遭蝦蟇，金翅鳥王不取食之。佛化四鳥皆識宿命，金仁佛時為四比丘，坐行兇暴不順正法逼迫同學故，墮金翅鳥自首悔過，改心易行發大道意，行四等心不害群黎，以得善護吾等永安不復見食，志不懷懼，長夜無難，皆蒙佛恩。今如來受龍王請，所演廣覆，譬如虛空無所不蓋。于今世尊還閻浮利，海中諸龍無所依仰，唯加大哀，佛滅度時在此大海留全舍利，一切眾類皆得供養華香、伎樂、被服、幢幡，轉加功德，速脫龍身，疾得無上正真之道。續見救濟，惟佛垂恩，威德兼加，所願得果。」

佛言：「善哉，從爾所志！」

> The Buddha said, "Excellent, may it be as you wish!"

時須菩提謂諸龍子：「諸仁者等勿建此心，則為妨廢一切之德。所以者何？佛泥洹後舍利分布八方，上下天、龍、鬼神、一切人民、蚑行喘息、人物之類，皆當供養華香伎樂稽首自歸，變化現光見者歡喜，知佛威神巍巍無極。緣是信之，皆發無上正真道意；或成緣覺，或得聲聞，或生天上，還得人身，與法相值，世世得度；如是之計普蒙獲濟。今者卿等各自求願，使佛、世尊在於大海而取滅度，供全舍利，獨欲奉侍。一切眾生何緣得度？永為窮厄無一救護！以故吾言勿發此心，令佛世尊海中滅度，獨奉全舍利而供養乎！」

諸龍答曰：「唯須菩提勿宣斯言！無以己身限礙之智，以限如來無極之慧。如來功德聖道自在，無不變現，無遠無近，無彼無此，普遊十方其若虛空。發意之頃，能令海中諸龍神宮，三千大千世界州城、郡國、縣邑、丘聚，人中曠野天上世間，各各化現佛全舍利一切供養，於佛身體不增不減；分身十方無數佛土，亦無所分，普現一切，不去不來。譬如日影現於水中，佛亦不生亦不滅度，云何欲限如來慧乎？欲限如來為限虛空。」

> The dragons replied, "Please, Subhuti, do not speak such words! Do not measure the limitless wisdom of the Tathagata with the limited understanding of your own mind. The Tathagata's virtues and sacred power are completely free, appearing everywhere without obstruction—no far, no near, no this, no that—roaming throughout the ten directions like space itself. In the blink of an eye, he can manifest within the dragon palaces in the sea, and across the three thousand great thousand worlds—its cities, provinces, counties, towns, villages, human settlements, wildernesses, heavenly realms, and all worlds—each appearing with the Buddha's complete relics and every offering. Yet the Buddha's body neither increases nor decreases. He multiplies his manifestations throughout countless Buddha lands in the ten directions, yet without any actual division. He appears everywhere, yet neither comes nor goes. Just as the reflection of the sun appears in water, the Buddha is neither born nor passes away. So how could you seek to limit the wisdom of the Tathagata? To try to limit the Tathagata is to try to limit empty space itself."

時須菩提聞諸龍子歎如來德，無窮無極，不可譬喻，默而無言。海中諸龍、虛空諸天及諸鬼、神踊躍歡喜，皆發無上正真道意。時佛歎嗟諸龍子曰：「善哉，善哉！仁等鑒明！誠如所云，無有異也。佛道高妙，無邊無際，無方無圓，無廣無狹，無遠無近，譬如虛空，不可為喻。」
