仁王護國般若波羅蜜經囑累品第八
The Perfection of Wisdom Sutra for Humane Kings Who Wish to Protect Their States, Chapter Eight: Entrusting the Dharma
經有三段，今是第三流通分。所言囑累者，明如來慇懃囑寄國王、累眾菩薩，故云囑累品也。此品分為四段：第一誡勅月光總勸流通，以明囑累；後五濁世下，第二七門別誡諸國王及四部弟子；爾時十六大國王聞佛七誡下，第三明諸國王不制四部弟子；爾時無量大眾下，第四明時眾歡喜受持。就前總勸流通內又分為三：初誡勅月光，明法滅時節；二此經三寶下，明所付人；三為三界眾生下，明流通利益。
佛告波斯匿王：「我誡勅汝等，吾滅度後八十年八百年八千年中，無佛無法無僧、無信男信女，時此經三寶付囑諸國王四部弟子，受持讀誦解說其義，為三界眾生開空慧道，修七賢行，十善行化一切眾生。」
所言八十年者，佛滅度後也。佛滅度後一百年中，五師持法各二十年，迦葉、阿難、末田地此三人親見佛化，行法如佛在世，故法不滅。三人逕六十年。第四商那和修、第五優婆毱多，此二師各二十年持法。商那和修當八十年，以不親覩佛化，故威儀法滅也。言八百年者，正證法滅。五百年內，二十五師並是聖人相傳，故證法不滅。六七二百年內，馬鳴、龍樹二人傳法，以弘法人強，故法不滅。八百年中餘人弘法，以人弱故，令法滅也。言八千年者，像末法滅也。由末法眾生好行邪法、惡賤正法，正法不行，故像末二法滅耳。依《涅槃經》像末世有十二萬大菩薩善持我法，我法不滅。前就凡夫，故云滅也。言無佛法僧者，正明法滅，故須付囑。無信男信女者，明前無三寶可歸依，故無生信處。以無信心謗毀三寶，故令不現。第二明所付人中有二：初付囑國王，有威力，護法功強，故先付之；二付四部弟子，此是通付一切眾生，以四部攝眾生盡故。第三明流通利益，內文言為三界眾生開空慧道者，證無所得解，故云開空慧道也。又云：證二無我理，故云開空慧道也。言修七賢行者，即七方便也，一五停心觀、二別想念處、三總想念處、四煖法、五頂法、六忍法、七世第一法。言十善行化一切眾生者，一不殺、二不盜、三不邪婬、四不妄語、五不惡口、六不兩舌、七不綺語、八不貪、九不瞋、十不邪見。以此十行教化眾生，故云十善行化一切眾生。總勸流通竟。
「後五濁世，比丘比丘尼四部弟子、天龍八部、一切神王、國王大臣、太子王子，自恃高貴，滅破吾法，明作制法，制我四部弟子比丘比丘尼不聽出家行道，亦復不聽造作佛像形、佛塔形，立統官制眾安籍記僧，比丘地立、白衣高座，兵奴為比丘，受別請法，知識比丘共為一心，親善比丘為作齋會求福，如外道法，都非吾法。當知爾時正法將滅不久。」
"In the later Age of Degeneration, the fourfold assembly of bhikshus and bhikshunis, the eight kinds of celestial beings, all the spirit-kings, kings, ministers, princes, and crown princes — trusting in their own high status and power — will destroy my Dharma. They will openly create new rules, restricting my fourfold community of monks and nuns: forbidding them from leaving home to practice the Way, also forbidding them from making images of the Buddha or building stupas. They will establish official positions to control the monastic community, keep registers to record the monks, make monks stand while laypeople sit on high seats, press soldiers and servants into becoming monks, adopt the practice of accepting private invitations for offerings, and have learned monks unite as one to hold prayer assemblies for blessings just like non-Buddhist rituals — none of this is my Dharma. Know that when these times come, the true Dharma will soon be destroyed."
後五濁下，第二七門別誡，即為七別：一不得障人出家等；二不得俗官治僧；三不得繫縛比丘；四不得非法說經，似師子身內虫；五不得驅使比丘似兵奴法；六明非法得罪制之莫為，自作罪過破壞國土也；七不得依託佛法求世名利。若為此七事，違教失理，行義不立。為是義故，佛法速滅。第一不得障人出家中為二：初總明五濁；二從比丘下，別明七事。所言五濁者，一眾生濁、二命濁、三見濁、四煩惱濁、五劫濁。二從比丘下，別明七事者，一不聽出家、二不聽造像等、三立統官、四安籍記僧、五不得比丘立地白衣高坐、六不得兵奴為比丘、七不得受別請行法。七邪法興，七正法滅。
In the later age of the Five Turbidities, the second section gives specific prohibitions in seven points: 1. Do not obstruct others from becoming monastics. 2. Do not let secular officials govern monastics. 3. Do not bind or imprison monks. 4. Do not teach the Dharma unlawfully, like a worm eating the lion's body from within. 5. Do not treat monks like soldiers or slaves. 6. Those who violate the Dharma will incur offenses; do not commit them, for doing so will destroy the nation. 7. Do not rely on the Buddhadharma to seek worldly fame and profit.
If any of these seven things are done, the teachings are violated and the truth is lost; the practice of righteousness cannot stand. For this reason, the Buddhadharma will quickly decline.
**First prohibition: Do not obstruct people from becoming monastics (in two parts):** First, a general explanation of the Five Turbidities. Second, starting from "monks," specific details on the seven matters.
**The Five Turbidities are:** 1. The turbidity of sentient beings 2. The turbidity of lifespan 3. The turbidity of views 4. The turbidity of afflictions 5. The turbidity of the era
**Starting from "monks," the seven specific matters are:** 1. Not allowing people to become monastics 2. Not allowing the making of statues, etc. 3. Establishing secular officials over monastics 4. Registering monastics in official records 5. Not allowing monastics to stand while laypeople sit high 6. Not allowing soldiers or slaves to become monks 7. Not allowing acceptance of private invitations to conduct Dharma activities
When these seven unwholesome practices arise, the seven true teachings will be destroyed.
「大王！壞亂吾道是汝等自作，自恃威力制我四部弟子，百姓疾病無不苦難，是破國因緣，說五濁罪過窮劫不盡。」
"Great King, it is you yourselves who have corrupted and disrupted my Dharma by your own doing. You rely on your own power and might to control my fourfold assembly of disciples. There is no suffering or hardship that the common people do not endure due to illness. This is the cause of your nation's ruin, and even if I were to speak of the offenses of the Five Turbidities for eons, I would never reach the end of them."
大王壞亂吾道下，第二不得俗官治僧。言自恃威力制四部弟子者，五篇七聚外更作俗法治比丘等，以護法善神瞋，使令疾病破壞國土，五濁增長也。
「大王！法末世時，有諸比丘四部弟子，國王大臣各作非法之行，橫與佛法眾僧作大非法，作諸罪過，非法非律繫縛比丘如獄囚法，當爾之時法滅不久。」
大王法末世時下，第三不得繫縛比丘如獄囚法。當戒律法中極，但有驅擯出家眾；今行俗法，當知法滅不久。
「大王！我滅度後未來世中，四部弟子，諸小國王太子王子乃是任持護三寶者，轉更滅破三寶，如師子身中虫自食師子，非外道也。多壞我佛法，得大罪過。正教衰薄，民無正行。以漸為惡，其壽日減至于百歲。人壞佛教，無復孝子，六親不和，天神不祐，疾疫惡鬼日來侵害。災怪首尾連禍縱橫，死入地獄餓鬼畜生，若出為人兵奴。果報如響如影，如人夜書，火滅字存。三界果報亦復如是。」
大王我滅度後下，第四誡四部眾國王等，皆是任持佛法人，還自破滅，令使國土諸災競起，皆由破法使之然也。就文有二：初明非法說經；二正法衰薄下，明其損失。初明非法說經有三：初法說；二如師子下；喻；三多壞我佛法下，合譬也。第二損失內，正法衰薄，得種種苦事也。
「大王！未來世中一切國王太子王子，四部弟子橫與佛弟子書記制戒，如白衣法、如兵奴法。若我弟子比丘比丘尼立籍，為官所使，都非我弟子，是兵奴法。立統官攝僧，典主僧籍，大小僧統共相攝縛，如獄囚法、兵奴之法。當爾之時，佛法不久。」
大王未來世下，第五誡國王太子四眾。立籍制約如兵奴法，立統官治人如俗法，當知佛法滅亦不久。
「大王！未來世中諸小國王四部弟子，自作此罪，破國因緣，身自受之，非佛法僧。」
大王未來世中諸小國下，第六誡小國四眾。明非法得罪，制之莫為。自作罪過，破壞國土，自身受之，不關三寶也。
「大王！未來世中流通此經，七佛法器，十方諸佛常所行道，諸惡比丘多求名利，於國王太子王子前自說破佛法因緣、破國因緣，其王不別信聽此語，橫作法制不依佛戒，是為破佛破國因緣。當爾之時，正法將滅不久。」
大王未來世中流通此經下，第七誡諸比丘不依七佛教，依託佛法求世名利，往國王邊自說破佛法因緣。文有三別：初明比丘等邪說佛法；二其王不別下，明國王不知三寶也；三當爾之時下，滅正法也。
爾時十六大國王聞佛七誡所說未來世事，悲啼涕泣聲動三千，日月五星、二十八宿失光不現。時諸國王等各各至心受持佛語，不制四部弟子出家行道，當如佛教。爾時大眾，十八梵天王、六欲諸天子皆悉歎言：「當爾之時，世間空虛，是無佛世。」
爾時十六國下，品中大段第三，諸國王聞佛七誡不制四眾。就文為二：初十六國王悲歎驚怖，傷己已往愆，依教不制四眾。第二十八梵天等傷歎云當當爾之時世間空虛是無佛世者，歎正法滅盡，故名無佛世也。
爾時無量大眾中百億菩薩，彌勒、師子月等，百億舍利弗、須菩提等，五百億十八梵、六欲諸天、三界六道阿須輪王等，聞佛所說護佛果因緣、護國土因緣，歡喜無量，為佛作禮，受持般若波羅蜜。
爾時無量大眾下，品內大段第四，時眾聞法歡喜奉行。就文有三：初列百億菩薩眾，第二列百億舍利弗等，第三五百億色欲二界天、六道阿須輪王等眾，悉奉行也。
