description: "大藏一覽是明代陳實編纂、姚舜漁重輯的佛教經典提要著作。該書成於晚明時期，基於當時流傳的大藏經內容，以提綱挈領方式系統分類並摘錄佛教核心典籍精華。全書分十門，涵蓋諸佛菩薩、因果業報、修行法門等主題，以偈頌和注釋相結合的形式呈現佛學體系。作為一部佛教入門指南，它不僅為明清信眾提供清晰的佛法脈絡，更因其簡明扼要的編排成為研究漢傳佛教教義的重要工具書，在佛教文獻學與普及教育領域具有承先啟後的歷史地位。"

### 五、四洲風物
> 5\. The Four Continents
「須彌山東有天下，名東弗於逮，其土正圓，縱廣九千由旬，人面亦圓，身長三肘半，三百歲少出多減，以穀、帛、珠璣市易自活。
> East of Mount Sumeru there is a world called Purvavideha. Its land is perfectly round, measuring nine thousand yojanas across. The people's faces are also round, and their bodies are three and a half cubits tall. They live for three hundred yearssome live longer, some shorter, and they support themselves by trading in grain, silk, and pearls.
「○須彌山西有天下，名西瞿耶尼，其土形如半月，縱廣八千由旬，人面亦爾，身長三肘半，二百歲少出多減，以牛、羊、珠寶市易自活。
> West of Mount Sumeru there is a world called Western Godaniya. Its land is shaped like a half-moon, measuring eight thousand yojanas from north to south and east to west, and people's faces are shaped the same way. They are three and a half cubits tall and live for two hundred years, though some live less and many live longer. They support themselves by trading cattle, sheep, and precious jewels.
「○須彌山南有天下，名南閻浮提，其土南狹北廣，狀如車箱，縱廣七千由旬，人面亦爾，身長三肘半，百歲少出多減，以金、銀、珍寶、穀帛市活。
> To the south of Mount Sumeru lies a continent called Jambudvipa. Its land is narrow in the south and wide in the north, shaped like a carriage box, measuring seven thousand yojanas in length and breadth. People's faces are the same shape. They are three and a half cubits tall and live a hundred yearsoften less, rarely more, trading and living by means of gold, silver, treasures, grain, and cloth.
「○須彌山北有天下，名北鬱單曰，其土正方，縱廣一萬由旬，人面亦方，像彼地形，身長七肘，衣重二兩，壽千歲，無增減，食自然粳米，天味具足以為揣食，無有市易，持生自活，無我、我所，起欲心時則熟視女人，捨之而去，彼女隨後往詣園林。若彼女人是彼男子父母中表之親，不應行欲者，樹不曲蔭，各自散去。若非親應行欲者，樹則曲蔭其身，隨意娛樂。彼人懷妊，七八日便產，隨生男女，置於路頭，捨之而去。諸有行人出指令嗽，指出指乳，過七日已，其兒成長，與彼人等，男向男眾、女向女眾。彼人命終，置四衢道，有憂慰禪伽鳥接彼死尸置於他方。」履字函第十卷、映字函第七卷
> North of Mount Sumeru lies a land called Uttarakuru. Its ground is square, measuring ten thousand yojanas across. The people's faces are likewise square, resembling the shape of the land. Their bodies are seven cubits tall, their clothing weighs only two ounces, and they live for a thousand years without increase or decrease. They eat naturally growing rice, and the flavors of heaven are complete, which they take as their food. There is no buying and selling; they sustain themselves simply by what they gather. They have no sense of "I" or "mine." When a man feels desire arise, he gazes steadily at a woman, then leaves her behind and goes on his way. The woman follows after him to a grove. If that woman is a relative of the man through his parents—someone with whom desire should not be engaged—the tree does not bend down to provide shade, and they each go their separate ways. If she is not a relative and desire may rightly be engaged, the tree bends down and shelters them, and they enjoy themselves as they wish. When the woman becomes pregnant, she gives birth after seven or eight days. Whether the child is male or female, it is placed at a crossroads and left there. Passing travelers point their fingers for the child to suckle, and milk flows from their fingers. After seven days, the child has grown up and is the equal of those people—boys joining the company of men, girls joining the company of women. When these people die, their bodies are placed at a four-way crossroads, and a bird called the Youwei Channa bird carries the corpse away to another place. Lüzi scroll 10, Yingzi scroll 7
《正法念處經》云：「鬱單越人於山障外徹見無礙，耳之所聞，若遠、若近，若大、若小，而皆得聞。弗婆提人亦名弗於逮於黑闇中亦見眾色，耳識所緣，盡一箭道。瞿阤尼人亦名瞿耶尼，眼識所緣，山壁無礙，眼識聞聲，如閻浮提蚖蛇之類眼中聞聲，瞿阤尼人亦復如是，如隔障礙聞眾音聲、見眾色像，亦復如是。」宜字函第四卷
《因本經》云：「閻浮提洲有五種勝三天下，上至他化自在天：一者、勇健，二者、正念，三者、佛出世處，四者、是修業地，五者、行梵行處。諸天及三天下各有三種勝閻浮提：一者、長壽，二者、色勝，三者、地勝。」映字函第八卷
《分別功德論．下》云：「婆拘羅尊者長壽第一，於百壽中而加六十。阿難問曰：『尊者長壽，何以不生三方？』荅曰：『諸佛不生三方，以其土人難化故。此土眾生利根捷疾，極惡勇猛，取道不難，是故往古諸佛皆生此中。』」渭字函
