### （三三）尸毘王剜眼施鷲緣

> Chapter 33: King Shibi Plucks Out His Eyes as an Offering to the Hawk

佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時諸比丘安居欲竟，自恣時到，春秋二時，常來集會，聽佛說法。其中或有浣衣薰鉢打染縫治，如是各各皆有所營。時彼眾中，有一比丘，名曰尸婆，年老目瞑，坐地縫衣，不見絍針，作是唱言：「誰貪福德？為我絍針。」爾時世尊，聞比丘語，尋即往至，捉比丘手，索針欲貫。時老比丘，識佛音聲，白言：「世尊如來！往昔三阿僧祇劫，修大慈悲，滿足六波羅蜜，具菩薩行，斷除結使，功德備足，自致作佛。今者何故猶於我所，求索福德？」佛告比丘：「由我昔來宿習不忘，故於汝所，猶修福德。」

> The Buddha was staying at the Jeta Grove in the Garden of the Benefactor for the Orphaned and the Alone, near the city of Shravasti. At that time, the monks' summer retreat was coming to an end, and the time for the Pavarana ceremony had arrived. During the spring and autumn seasons, the monks would regularly gather to listen to the Buddha's teachings. Among them, some were washing their robes, some were perfuming their bowls, some were dyeing and sewing their robes—each one was busy with their own tasks. In that assembly, there was a monk named Shiba, who was old and blind in both eyes. He sat on the ground sewing his robe but couldn't see the needle's eye. So he called out, "Whoever desires merit, please thread this needle for me." At that moment, the World-Honored One heard the monk's words and immediately went to him. He took the old monk's hand, asked for the needle, and began to thread it. The old monk recognized the Buddha's voice and said, "World-Honored One, Tathagata! In the past, through countless eons, you cultivated great compassion, perfected the six perfections, fulfilled the bodhisattva path, eliminated all defilements, and completed all virtues, thereby attaining Buddhahood. Why is it that now you still seek merit from someone like me?" The Buddha told the monk, "Because since beginningless time, I have never forgotten my practice of giving—through countless lifetimes, I have always cultivated merit, never abandoning it even for a moment. Therefore, even now, in this very moment with you, I continue to cultivate merit." Note: The text above is a modern English translation of the original Chinese Buddhist scripture, making the story accessible to contemporary readers while preserving its spiritual meaning and narrative flow. The title "Pavarana" refers to the monastic ceremony marking the end of the summer retreat. "Tathagata" is an epithet of the Buddha meaning "Thus Come One." "Six perfections" refer to the bodhisattva practices of generosity, ethical conduct, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom.

時諸比丘聞佛世尊作是語已，即白佛言：「如來往昔，於彼耆舊老比丘所，修何功德？願為解說。」爾時世尊告諸比丘：「汝等諦聽！吾當為汝分別解說。乃往過去無量世中，波羅㮈國有王，名曰尸毘，治正國土，人民熾盛豐樂無極。時尸毘王常好惠施，賑給濟乏，於諸財寶頭目髓腦，來有乞者終不悋惜。精誠感應，動天宮殿，不安其所。時天帝釋，作是念言：『我此宮殿，有何因緣，動搖如是？將非我今命欲盡耶？』作是念已尋自觀察，見尸毘王，不惜財寶，有來乞者，皆悉施與，精誠感應，動我宮殿，物不安所。我今當往，試其善心為虛為實？即便化作一大鷲身，飛來詣王，啟白王言：『我聞大王，好喜布施，不逆眾生；我今故來，有所求索，唯願大王！遂我心願。』時王聞已，甚懷歡喜，即答鷲言：『隨汝所求，終不悋惜。』鷲白王言：『我亦不須金銀珍寶及諸財物，唯須王眼以為美饍，願王今者，見賜雙眼。』時尸毘王聞鷲語已，生大歡喜，手執利刀，自剜雙眼，以施彼鷲，不憚苦痛，無有毛髮悔恨之心。爾時天地六種震動，雨諸天花，鷲白王言：『汝今剜眼，用施於我，無悔恨耶？』王答鷲言：『我施汝眼，今者實無悔恨之心。』鷲語王言：『若無悔心，以何為證？』王答鷲言：『今施汝眼，無悔心者，當令我眼還復如故。』作是誓已，時王雙眼，如前無異。鷲復釋身，讚言：『奇哉！未曾有也。汝於今者，能捨難捨，為求釋梵轉輪聖王、世俗榮樂？』王答釋曰：『我今不求釋梵及以轉輪、世俗榮樂，以此施眼善根功德，使我來世得成正覺，度脫眾生。』發是願已，時天帝釋，還詣天宮。」佛告諸比丘：「欲知彼時尸毘王者則我身是，彼時鷲者今老比丘是。由於彼時布施眼目不悋惜故，自致成佛，是故今者，猶於汝上，修於福德，尚無厭足。」

> At that time, the monks, upon hearing the World-Honored One speak these words, said to the Buddha, "In the past, what merits did the Thus-Come One cultivate in the presence of that elder monk? Please explain this for us." Then the World-Honored One told the monks, "Listen carefully, I will explain this to you in detail. In a distant past, in countless ages gone by, there was a king in the city of Varanasi named King Shibi, who ruled his kingdom rightly. The people were prosperous, abundant, and enjoyed great happiness. King Shibi loved to give alms, relieving those in need. Whether it was treasures, wealth, or even his head, eyes, marrow, or brain—whenever anyone came seeking, he never begrudged them. His sincere dedication stirred the heavens, shaking the celestial palaces, unsettling them. Then Shakra, the lord of gods, thought: 'Why is my palace trembling like this? Could my life be coming to an end?' Having thought this, he observed and saw King Shibi, who did not cherish his wealth but gave to all who came, and whose sincere dedication shook his palace, unsettling it. 'I shall now go and test whether his virtuous heart is true or false.' So he transformed into a great vulture and flew to the king, saying, 'I have heard, great king, that you delight in giving alms and never refuse beings. I have come now seeking something. I only ask, great king, that you fulfill my wish.' Hearing this, the king was overjoyed and replied to the vulture, 'Whatever you seek, I will not begrudge it.' The vulture said to the king, 'I do not need gold, silver, jewels, or any wealth. I only need the king's eyes as a fine meal. I pray that you now grant me your two eyes.' When King Shibi heard the vulture's words, he was filled with great joy. Taking a sharp knife, he gouged out his own eyes and gave them to the vulture, without fearing the pain, and without a hair's breadth of regret. At that moment, the earth trembled in six ways, and celestial flowers rained down. The vulture said to the king, 'You have gouged out your eyes and given them to me. Do you have no regret?' The king replied, 'I gave you my eyes, and truly I have no regret.' The vulture said, 'If you have no regret, what proof can you offer?' The king replied, 'If my giving of my eyes comes without regret, let my eyes be restored as they were.' As he made this vow, his eyes were restored exactly as before. The vulture then revealed his original form as Shakra and praised him, saying, 'Extraordinary! This has never been seen before. You have been able to give what is most difficult to give—are you seeking to become a Brahma king, a Shakra, a wheel-turning sage king, or worldly glory?' The king replied to Shakra, 'I do not seek the glory of Brahma, Shakra, or a wheel-turning sage king, nor worldly pleasures. With the merit of this gift of my eyes, I vow that in a future life I may attain true enlightenment and liberate all beings.' After he made this vow, Shakra returned to his heavenly palace." The Buddha told the monks, "Know that King Shibi of that time was myself, and the vulture was the elder monk of today. Because I gave my eyes without begrudging them, I attained Buddhahood. Therefore, even now, I still cultivate merit above you, never feeling satisfied."

爾時諸比丘聞佛所說，歡喜奉行。

> At that time, all the monks heard what the Buddha had said, rejoiced and faithfully put it into practice.
