聞如是：
Thus have I heard:
一時佛在拘薩國，多比丘俱行往竹中，一竹中止，行止𨽁中柏樹間。在時，佃家婆羅門，姓為蒲盧，一竹外多犁者共會飯，能五百犁。是時佛念日尚早，今居前一竹中，行到佃家。多犁者飯時會，佛便至佃家飯會處。佃家見佛從來，已見為說如是：「我為自犁自種，已自犁自種為食；卿具譚行者，可犁可種，已犁已種當食。」佛報佃家說如是：「我亦犁亦種，已犁已種食。」佃家報佛如是：「雖佛說如是，我為犁為種，已犁已種食。我不見卿種具，若牛、若槅、若轅、若扠鄧，但言佃家種，從後說絕。我不見種具，說種具令我知種。」佛報：「信為種，行為水，慧為牛，慚為犁，心為鄧，意為金，身守口守食為壟，至誠治不止為竟，精進不舍槅，行行為安隱，行不復還已，行無有憂。如是已種，從是致甘露；如是種，一切從苦得脫。」便佃家滿器飯至佛上：「真佛能佃，實佛大佃，願取我飯，哀故。」佛報說如是：「已說經故不可食，行者自知是法已問。佛說經常法如是，增法不必從是望道，但結盡疑索意止。是飯食飲供養祠，如是地入與中大福。」婆羅門復白佛：「我今為是食與誰？」佛報如是：「無有世間若天、若魔、若梵、若沙門，一切令是飯食不能得消，但佛亦得道者，持是飯行，至無有虫水便投中，若空地無有草掘埋。」婆羅門已受佛言便行，無有虫水投中，已投中烟出燃沸大沸作聲，譬喻如揣鐵赤葉鐵一日在火燒，便投水便熱出滊出沸大沸有聲。如是已婆羅門持飯著水中，便烟出然沸大沸作聲。婆羅門驚怖毛起，便持頭面著佛足作禮言：「我可從佛得作沙門，離惡受教誡，從佛受行。」佛言：「可淨行道已從是。」婆羅門從佛受教誡，竟佛法到得不著道。
At one time the Buddha was in the country of Kosala. Traveling together with many monks, he came to a bamboo grove. He stopped within a single bamboo, and as he walked and rested among the cypress trees there, it happened that a brahmin farmer of the Pulu clan had gathered with many plowmen outside that bamboo grove for a meal—five hundred plows. Then the Buddha thought, "The day is still early. Let me go on ahead of this single bamboo to the farmer's home." When the many plowmen had gathered for the meal, the Buddha went to the place where the farmer's meal was being served. The farmer saw the Buddha coming and, having seen him, said this: "I plow and plant for myself; having plowed and planted for myself, I eat. You, sir, who speak of practicing the way—you should plow and plant; having plowed and planted, you should eat."
The Buddha replied to the farmer: "I too plow and plant; having plowed and planted, I eat."
The farmer replied to the Buddha: "Though the Buddha says so, I plow and plant; having plowed and planted, I eat. I do not see your implements for planting—no ox, no yoke, no shaft, no goad. Yet you say the farmer plants. What you say afterward does not follow. I do not see the implements of planting. Tell me of the implements of planting so that I may know planting."
The Buddha replied: "Faith is the seed; conduct is the water; wisdom is the ox; shame is the plow; the mind is the goad; intention is the share; guarding body, guarding speech, and moderation in food are the furrows. Sincere and unremitting effort brings completion; diligence does not let go of the yoke. Walking in practice brings security; one who has practiced no longer turns back and has no sorrow. Thus having planted, from this one attains the deathless nectar; thus having planted, all are freed from suffering."
Then the farmer brought a full vessel of rice to the Buddha and said: "The true Buddha can farm; the real Buddha is a great farmer. Please accept my rice, out of compassion."
The Buddha replied: "Because I have spoken the teaching, I cannot eat it. One who practices knows this Dharma for himself, having asked about it. When the Buddha teaches, the constant Dharma is thus; the augmented Dharma need not be hoped for from this—only the ending of the bonds, the release from doubt, and the stilling of the mind. Food and drink offered in sacrifice—such an offering, given to the earth, brings great merit."
The brahmin again said to the Buddha: "To whom, then, should I give this food?"
The Buddha replied: "There is no one in the world—whether deva, Mara, Brahma, or renunciant—who can digest this food, except the Buddha or a disciple who has attained the path. Take this food, go to a body of water with no insects in it, and throw it in; or dig a hole and bury it in open ground where there is no grass."
Having received the Buddha's words, the brahmin went and threw it into a body of water with no insects. When it was thrown in, smoke rose and it seethed and boiled loudly—like a red-hot iron ball or iron leaf heated in fire for a day and then thrown into water, hissing, steaming, and boiling with a great noise. Thus when the brahmin placed the rice in the water, smoke rose and it seethed and boiled loudly. The brahmin, terrified and with his hair standing on end, bowed his head and face at the Buddha's feet and said: "May I receive ordination as a renunciant from the Buddha, abandon evil, receive the precepts, and practice under the Buddha."
The Buddha said: "Come; purified in conduct from this on."
The brahmin received the precepts from the Buddha, and having completed the Buddha's teaching, he attained the path of non-attachment.
佛說如是。
