爾時世尊，從本座起，詣安陀林，於一樹下，晝日棲止，宴寂而坐。是時諸苾芻眾，于其園林，別會一舍，依次而坐，所謂尊者阿難、尊者聞二百億、尊者阿泥樓馱、尊者舍利子，如是等諸苾芻眾，既共集會，乃相謂言：「世間人眾，何所修作，多獲義利？」尊者阿難言：「色相行業，若人修作，多獲義利。」尊者聞二百億言：「精進行業，若人修作，多獲義利。」尊者阿泥樓馱言：「工巧行業，若人修作，多獲義利。」尊者舍利子言：「智慧行業，若人修作，多獲義利。」如是說已，咸作念言：「我等今者言說差別，不相齊等，所謂各各建立最勝。若以此義，往問世尊，必為我等隨應宣說。如其所說，我等奉持。何以故？世尊大師，能斷疑故，是大悲者。譬如日光燭諸幽暗，以一切智，破諸疑惑；解除苦網救度有情，令歸正道；等視有情，猶如一子；一切法中，而得自在；以一切法，作大利益。大牟尼尊，能與一切息諸疑惑；佛常勤為解除疑結，是故我等宜共往問。」時諸苾芻互言議已，欲往見佛

爾時世尊，從本座起，前往安陀林，在一棵樹下，白天休息，安靜地坐著。當時，眾比丘在園林中，各自聚集在一處，依次坐下，包括尊者阿難、尊者聞二百億、尊者阿泥樓馱、尊者舍利子等眾比丘。他們聚在一起，互相說道：『世間眾人，修習什麼行為，能獲得最大的利益呢？』尊者阿難說：『如果修習色相行業，就能獲得最大的利益。』尊者聞二百億說：『如果修習精進行業，就能獲得最大的利益。』尊者阿泥樓馱說：『如果修習工巧行業，就能獲得最大的利益。』尊者舍利子說：『如果修習智慧行業，就能獲得最大的利益。』他們這樣說完，都想到：『我們現在所說的各有不同，並不一致，各自都認為自己所說是最殊勝的。如果把這個問題去問世尊，他一定會為我們隨宜宣說。我們按照他所說的去做。為什麼呢？因為世尊是大師，能夠斷除疑惑，是大慈大悲的人。就像日光照亮所有黑暗，以一切智慧，破除所有疑惑；解除痛苦的羅網，救度眾生，讓他們迴歸正道；平等看待眾生，如同看待自己的孩子；在一切法中，都能自在；以一切法，作最大的利益。大牟尼尊，能夠讓一切眾生息滅疑惑；佛陀常常勤奮地為眾生解除疑結，所以我們應該一起去請問他。』當時，眾比丘互相商議后，想要去見佛陀。

No. 173

The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of Prince Fuli Spoken by the Buddha, Volume 1

Translated by the Tripitaka Master Shi Hu, the Great Master of Dharma Transmission, the Purple-Robed Monk, the Attendant of the Imperial Court, and the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, etc., under Imperial Decree, from the Western Regions

At that time, the World Honored One rose from his seat and went to the Andha Grove. There, under a tree, he rested during the day, sitting in peaceful solitude. At that time, the assembly of monks, in the garden, gathered separately in a hall, sitting in order. Among them were the Venerable Ananda, the Venerable Vimsatikoti, the Venerable Anuruddha, and the Venerable Sariputra, and other monks. Having gathered together, they spoke to each other, saying, 'Among the people of the world, what practices, when cultivated, yield the greatest benefit?' The Venerable Ananda said, 'If one cultivates practices related to physical appearance, one will obtain the greatest benefit.' The Venerable Vimsatikoti said, 'If one cultivates practices of diligent effort, one will obtain the greatest benefit.' The Venerable Anuruddha said, 'If one cultivates practices of skillful craftsmanship, one will obtain the greatest benefit.' The Venerable Sariputra said, 'If one cultivates practices of wisdom, one will obtain the greatest benefit.' Having spoken thus, they all thought, 'Our words are different and not in agreement, each of us establishing our own as the most superior. If we were to ask the World Honored One about this matter, he would surely explain it to us accordingly. We will follow what he says. Why is that? Because the World Honored One is the great master, able to dispel doubts, and is of great compassion. Like the sunlight illuminating all darkness, with all-encompassing wisdom, he breaks through all doubts; he releases the net of suffering, saves sentient beings, and leads them back to the right path; he regards all sentient beings equally, as if they were his own children; in all dharmas, he is free; with all dharmas, he brings the greatest benefit. The Great Muni, the Honored One, is able to extinguish all doubts; the Buddha is always diligent in resolving the knots of doubt, therefore we should go together to ask him.' At that time, the monks, having discussed among themselves, desired to go and see the Buddha.

。

是時世尊在於林中，以凈天耳過於人耳，聞苾芻眾以如是事集會議論，即從三摩地起，詣苾芻所。時諸苾芻，前迎世尊，設座奉請。佛就座已，告苾芻言：「諸苾芻！向聞汝等共相議言：『世間人眾，何所修作，多獲義利？』初阿難言，色相修作多獲義利；聞二百億言，精進修作多獲義利；阿泥樓馱言，工巧修作多獲義利；舍利子言，智慧修作多獲義利。如是說已，又起念言：『所說差別，不相齊等，所謂各各建立最勝。若以此義，往問世尊，佛必為我隨應宣說。如其所說，我等奉持。』是事云何？」

諸苾芻白佛言：「誠哉！世尊！我等曏者為以此緣集會議論，愿佛今時開決疑惑。」

爾時世尊為發此緣，說伽陀曰：

「色相工巧與精進，　　智慧于中為最勝； 　若諸有情修福因，　　所獲福果又極勝。」

說是伽陀已，復告苾芻言：「諸苾芻，或時有人，於色相等，若隨修作，非一切種、一切時，多獲義利。若修福力，於一切種及一切時，多獲義利。諸苾芻！如福力者，我不見有一法，而諸有情隨修作已，多獲義利。何以故？諸苾芻！我念過去世時有王，名曰眼力，安止王城，善布國政，威神廣大，安隱豐樂，人民熾盛。其王有後，名曰廣照，色相殊妙，人所樂見

現代漢語譯本：當時，世尊在林中，以清凈的天耳，超越人耳的聽力，聽見比丘們在議論這件事，便從禪定中起身，來到比丘們所在的地方。比丘們上前迎接世尊，設定座位，恭請世尊入座。佛陀坐下後，對比丘們說：『諸位比丘！我剛才聽到你們在議論：『世間眾人，修習什麼才能獲得最大的利益？』最初阿難說，修習外貌儀態能獲得最大的利益；二百億說，修習精進能獲得最大的利益；阿泥樓馱說，修習工巧技藝能獲得最大的利益；舍利子說，修習智慧能獲得最大的利益。』這樣說完后，又想到：『所說的各有不同，不能相互比較，各自都認為自己所說的最殊勝。如果把這個問題去問世尊，佛陀一定會為我們隨順解答。我們按照佛陀所說的去做。』事情是這樣的嗎？」 比丘們回答佛陀說：『確實如此，世尊！我們剛才正是因為這個原因在議論，希望佛陀現在能為我們解開疑惑。』 這時，世尊爲了闡明這個道理，說了偈語： 『外貌儀態、工巧技藝和精進，其中智慧最為殊勝；如果眾生修習福德的因，所獲得的福報也極其殊勝。』 說完偈語后，佛陀又對比丘們說：『諸位比丘，有時有人，在修習外貌儀態等方面，並非在所有情況下都能獲得最大的利益。如果修習福德的力量，在所有情況下都能獲得最大的利益。諸位比丘！對於福德的力量，我沒有看到有哪一種法，眾生修習后，能獲得更大的利益。為什麼呢？諸位比丘！我記得過去世時有一位國王，名叫眼力，安居在王城，善於治理國家，威望廣大，國家安穩富足，人民興盛。這位國王有一位王后，名叫廣照，容貌非常美麗，令人喜愛。』

English version: At that time, the World Honored One was in the forest, and with his pure heavenly ear, surpassing human ears, he heard the monks discussing this matter. He then arose from his samadhi and went to where the monks were. The monks went forward to greet the World Honored One, set up a seat, and invited him to sit. After the Buddha was seated, he said to the monks, 'Monks! I just heard you discussing: 『What practice do people in the world engage in to gain the greatest benefit?』 Initially, Ananda said that practicing physical appearance brings the greatest benefit; two hundred billion said that practicing diligence brings the greatest benefit; Anuruddha said that practicing skillful crafts brings the greatest benefit; and Sariputra said that practicing wisdom brings the greatest benefit.』 After saying this, you also thought: 『What was said is different and cannot be compared, each considering their own statement to be the most superior. If we ask the World Honored One about this, the Buddha will surely explain it to us accordingly. We will act according to what the Buddha says.』 Is this the case?' The monks replied to the Buddha, 'Indeed, World Honored One! We were just discussing this matter for this reason, and we hope that the Buddha can now resolve our doubts.' At this time, the World Honored One, in order to clarify this principle, spoke a verse: 'Physical appearance, skillful crafts, and diligence, among them wisdom is the most superior; if sentient beings cultivate the cause of merit, the resulting blessings are also extremely superior.' After speaking the verse, the Buddha again said to the monks, 'Monks, sometimes people, in practicing physical appearance and so on, do not gain the greatest benefit in all circumstances. If one cultivates the power of merit, one can gain the greatest benefit in all circumstances. Monks! Regarding the power of merit, I have not seen any dharma that, when practiced by sentient beings, can bring greater benefit. Why is that? Monks! I remember in a past life there was a king named Eye Power, who resided in the royal city, was good at governing the country, had great prestige, and the country was peaceful, prosperous, and the people were thriving. This king had a queen named Broad Illumination, whose appearance was very beautiful and pleasing to see.'

。彼廣照后，後於一時，與王同會，嬉戲娛樂，由戲樂故，誕生一子，容止端嚴，人所樂見，殊妙過人，具天色相。而彼太子生生廣植妙色相因，由彼具足殊妙色相，是故今為立名色力。如是次第，乃至其後，別生三子：彼第一者，精進具足，第二工巧具足，第三智慧具足。

「複次，苾芻！彼廣照后，最後復有一子托陰，是日忽然其王宮中，種種珍寶自天而降；復有微妙種種莊嚴珠寶、露幔，俱時出現，覆王后上。時眼力王，見是希有殊特事已，中心異之；即召相師，而詢問言：『今此希有殊特之相，其故云何？』相師對曰：『大王當知，王后有子，托質聖胎，其子大福，具大威德，當具名稱。』王聞語已，復生驚歎，乃至后時，其廣照后，忽起思念，乃作是言：『大哉！我今欲乘上妙師子之座，覆以白蓋及須寶拂。』即以此事，具白于王。王聞其言，心生歡喜，敕令周遍清凈嚴潔宮城內外，如其所欲，悉為辦造。

「又復一時，彼廣照后，忽起思念，乃作是言：『我今往彼大金寶聚，踞于其上，隨意舉手，自取金寶，普為一切，廣行佈施，使匱乏者財寶豐盈。』以事聞王，王隨所作。

「又復一時，彼廣照后，忽起思念，乃作是言：『快哉！我今欲令釋放一切禁系

現代漢語譯本：廣照王后後來在某個時候，與國王一同聚會，嬉戲娛樂。因為嬉戲娛樂的緣故，生下了一個兒子，容貌端正莊嚴，人們都喜歡見到他，非常奇妙，超越常人，具有天生的美好相貌。而這位太子生生世世廣泛地種下了美好相貌的因，因為他具備非常奇妙的相貌，所以現在為他取名為色力。像這樣依次下去，直到後來，又分別生了三個兒子：第一個兒子，精進具足；第二個兒子，工巧具足；第三個兒子，智慧具足。 現代漢語譯本：『再者，比丘！』廣照王后，最後又有一個兒子投胎。就在那天，忽然國王的宮殿中，各種珍寶從天而降；又有微妙的各種裝飾珠寶、露幔，同時出現，覆蓋在王后身上。當時眼力王，見到這種稀有奇特的事情后，心中感到驚異；就召見相師，詢問說：『現在這種稀有奇特的現象，是什麼原因呢？』相師回答說：『大王應當知道，王后懷有身孕，胎兒具有聖潔的品質，這個孩子福報很大，具有很大的威德，將來會很有名聲。』國王聽了這話，更加驚歎，直到後來，廣照王后，忽然產生一個想法，就說：『太好了！我現在想要乘坐上等的獅子寶座，上面覆蓋著白色的傘蓋和珍貴的拂塵。』就把這件事，詳細地告訴了國王。國王聽了她的話，心中非常高興，命令周遍地把宮城內外打掃乾淨，按照她所希望的，全部都準備好了。 現代漢語譯本：『又過了一段時間，廣照王后，忽然產生一個想法，就說：『我現在想要去到那個大金寶堆，坐在上面，隨意舉起手，自己拿取金寶，普遍地為一切人，廣泛地進行佈施，使那些缺乏財寶的人都變得富有。』把這件事告訴了國王，國王就按照她所說的做了。 現代漢語譯本：『又過了一段時間，廣照王后，忽然產生一個想法，就說：『太好了！我現在想要釋放所有被關押的人。』

English version: Queen Guangzhao, later at a certain time, gathered with the king, playing and enjoying themselves. Because of this playing and enjoyment, she gave birth to a son, whose appearance was upright and dignified, pleasing to all who saw him. He was exceptionally wonderful, surpassing ordinary people, and possessed a naturally beautiful appearance. This prince, life after life, had extensively planted the causes for a beautiful appearance. Because he possessed such a remarkably wonderful appearance, he was now named 'Color Power'. In this order, and later, she gave birth to three more sons: the first son was complete in diligence, the second son was complete in craftsmanship, and the third son was complete in wisdom. English version: 'Furthermore, Bhikshus!' Queen Guangzhao, finally had another son conceived. On that very day, suddenly in the king's palace, various treasures descended from the sky; and various exquisite decorative jewels and canopies appeared simultaneously, covering the queen. At that time, King Eye Power, seeing this rare and extraordinary event, was astonished in his heart; he immediately summoned a diviner and asked, 'What is the reason for this rare and extraordinary phenomenon?' The diviner replied, 'Great King, you should know that the queen is pregnant, and the fetus has a sacred quality. This child has great blessings, great power and virtue, and will be very famous in the future.' The king, upon hearing this, was even more amazed. Later, Queen Guangzhao suddenly had a thought and said, 'Wonderful! I now wish to sit on a superior lion throne, covered with a white canopy and precious whisks.' She then told the king about this in detail. The king, upon hearing her words, was very happy and ordered the entire palace, inside and out, to be cleaned and prepared according to her wishes. English version: 'After some time, Queen Guangzhao suddenly had a thought and said, 'I now wish to go to that great pile of gold treasures, sit on it, and freely raise my hand to take gold treasures, and universally give them to everyone, widely practicing generosity, so that those who lack wealth will become rich.' She told the king about this, and the king did as she said. English version: 'After some time, Queen Guangzhao suddenly had a thought and said, 'Wonderful! I now wish to release all those who are imprisoned.'

。』以事聞王，王隨所欲，敕令內外，釋諸禁系。

「又復一時，彼廣照后，忽起思念，乃作是言：『快哉！我今欲遊園林。』以事聞王，王隨所欲，使凈園林，令其觀賞。

「又復一時，彼廣照后，忽起思念，乃作是言：『快哉！我今於此宮屬多人眾前，以如是事，發誠實語：「若我真實有福報者，惟愿天人速疾奉我殊妙莊嚴勝師子座。我若得已處其座上，廣為人眾宣說法要。」』如是言已，颙俟諸天，降希有相。以事聞王，時眼力王，即于宮中，敕令周遍清凈嚴潔所有王城內外，一切人眾，悉著凈衣及妙嚴飾，各持異香華鬘，咸來集會。時廣照后，以眾嚴具殊妙嚴飾，宮嬪、眷屬、侍從圍繞，出詣眾前，相好莊嚴，其猶天女；一切人眾，咸所瞻仰，俱生歡悅。是時王后，于諸有情，隨起慈心，仰瞻虛空，以其真實加持力故，說伽陀曰：

「『天主人主及解脫，　　是三福力若最勝； 　　由此真實我今時，　　愿天速布師子座。』

「說是伽陀已，即時忽然天降勝妙師子之座及散妙華；空中諸天，悉皆胥悅。時彼人眾，見是希有殊特事已，咸生愛樂，俱共嘆異，說伽陀曰：

「『希有大福大力能，　　一切世間今供養； 　　人間所欲天能成，　　彼天福力為勝上

現代漢語譯本：『她將此事稟告國王，國王順從她的意願，下令宮內外解除所有禁錮。』 『又過了一段時間，那位廣照王后，忽然心生一念，於是說道：『真好啊！我現在想去園林遊玩。』她將此事稟告國王，國王順從她的意願，讓人把園林打掃乾淨，讓她觀賞。』 『又過了一段時間，那位廣照王后，忽然心生一念，於是說道：『真好啊！我現在想在這宮殿眾多人面前，說出這樣誠實的話：「如果我真的有福報，只願天人迅速奉上殊勝美妙莊嚴的獅子座。如果我得到它並坐在上面，就為大眾宣講佛法要義。」』說完這話，她就仰望天空，等待諸天降下稀有的景象。她將此事稟告國王，當時的眼力王，立即在宮中下令，讓整個王城內外都打掃得乾淨整潔，所有人都穿上乾淨的衣服和華麗的裝飾，各自拿著不同的香花，都來到這裡。當時廣照王后，用各種華麗的裝飾打扮自己，宮女、眷屬、侍從圍繞著她，走到眾人面前，相貌莊嚴，如同天女一般；所有人都仰望著她，都感到非常喜悅。這時王后，對所有眾生，生起慈悲之心，仰望天空，憑藉她真實的加持力，說了偈語： 『天主、人主和解脫，這三種福力如果最殊勝；由此真實我今時，愿天速降獅子座。』 『說完這偈語，立刻忽然天降殊勝美妙的獅子座，並散落美妙的鮮花；空中的諸天，都非常喜悅。當時那裡的人們，看到這稀有殊勝的事情后，都心生愛慕，一起讚歎稱奇，說了偈語：』 『稀有的大福大能力，一切世間現在都供養；人間所求天能成，那天福之力最為殊勝。』

English version: 'She reported this matter to the king, and the king, following her wishes, ordered the release of all those imprisoned inside and outside the palace.' 'After another period of time, that Queen Guangzhao suddenly had a thought and said, 'How wonderful! I now wish to stroll in the gardens.' She reported this matter to the king, and the king, following her wishes, had the gardens cleaned so she could enjoy them.' 'After another period of time, that Queen Guangzhao suddenly had a thought and said, 'How wonderful! I now wish to speak these truthful words before the many people in this palace: 「If I truly have blessings, may the heavenly beings quickly present me with a magnificent and adorned lion throne. If I obtain it and sit upon it, I will expound the essence of the Dharma to the masses.」' Having said this, she looked up to the sky, awaiting the descent of rare phenomena from the heavens. She reported this matter to the king, and King Yanli immediately ordered the entire city, inside and outside the palace, to be cleaned and tidied. All the people were to wear clean clothes and beautiful ornaments, each holding different fragrant flowers, and all were to come. At that time, Queen Guangzhao, adorned with various magnificent ornaments, surrounded by palace maids, relatives, and attendants, came before the crowd, her appearance dignified, like a celestial maiden; all the people looked up to her, and all felt great joy. At this time, the queen, with compassion for all sentient beings, looked up to the sky, and through the power of her true blessings, spoke a verse:' 'The Lord of Heaven, the Lord of Men, and liberation, if these three blessings are the most supreme; by this truth, I now wish that the heavens quickly bestow a lion throne.' 'Having spoken this verse, immediately a magnificent lion throne descended from the heavens, and beautiful flowers were scattered; the heavenly beings in the sky were all very joyful. At that time, the people there, seeing this rare and extraordinary event, all felt admiration, and together they praised and marveled, speaking a verse:' 'Rare is the great blessing and power, which the entire world now offers; what is desired in the human realm, the heavens can fulfill, the power of that heavenly blessing is most supreme.'

「時廣照后，心生歡喜，處師子座；升是座已，即時大地六種震動，其師子座，從地踴起，住虛空中，高七人量，復有種種殊妙珍寶莊嚴，露幔覆于座上。彼諸人眾，見是福力瑞相殊特，生欣樂意，各以所持異香華鬘，供獻王后，合掌肅恭，以利益心，居前而坐，聽受其語。

「時眼力王，見是事已，極大歡悅，與諸官屬，合掌肅恭，依次而坐。

「爾時廣照后，即說伽陀曰：

「『人當修作諸福因，　　如彼所作勿間斷； 　　隨其樂欲施作時，　　由福藏故獲妙樂。』

「說是伽陀已，空中自然有聲贊言：『汝今善說！最上善說！』又復空中，奏天微妙可愛音樂。其眼力王與諸人眾，聞說伽陀，時自然天降殊妙衣服及莊嚴具，各墮其身，王及人眾，即以所降衣服莊嚴，前奉王后，異口同音，作是贊言：『善說！善說！』即時王后，從師子座，自空徐下，安處於地。爾時天樂即隨停止，復奏人間所有音樂，王及人眾，咸生尊重。廣供奉已，悉皆歡喜。時廣照后，回入宮中，既入宮已，彼師子座，空中隨隱。時諸人眾，顯明觀見，如上瑞相，歡喜贊言：『奇哉福力，具大威德。奇哉福力，是甘美果

English version 'At that time, Queen Guangzhao, feeling joyful, sat upon the lion throne; as soon as she was seated, the earth immediately trembled in six ways, and her lion throne rose from the ground, suspended in the air, reaching a height of seven men, adorned with various exquisite treasures, and a magnificent canopy covered the seat. Those people, witnessing this extraordinary auspicious sign of blessed power, were filled with joy, and each offered the various fragrances and garlands they held to the Queen, respectfully joining their palms, with a mind of benefiting all beings, they sat in front, listening to her words. 'At that time, King Yanli, seeing this situation, was extremely delighted, and with his officials, respectfully joined their palms, and sat down in order. 'Then Queen Guangzhao spoke a verse: 'People should cultivate the causes of various blessings, just as she has done, without interruption; when they are willing to do so, due to the accumulation of blessings, they will obtain wonderful joy.' 'After reciting the verse, a voice naturally arose in the air, praising: 'You have spoken well! Utterly well spoken!' And in the air, heavenly, exquisite, and lovely music was played. King Yanli and the people, hearing the verse, at that moment, naturally, heavenly clothes and ornaments descended, each falling upon their bodies, the king and the people, then used the descended clothes and ornaments, to present to the Queen, unanimously praising: 'Well spoken! Well spoken!' At that time, the Queen, from the lion throne, slowly descended from the air, and stood securely on the ground. Then the heavenly music ceased, and all the music of the human world was played again, the king and the people, all felt respect. After making extensive offerings, everyone was very happy. At that time, Queen Guangzhao, returned to the palace, and after entering the palace, the lion throne, disappeared into the air. At that time, the people, clearly saw, the auspicious signs as mentioned above, and joyfully praised: 'Truly marvelous is the power of blessings, possessing great virtue. Truly marvelous is the power of blessings, this is a sweet fruit!'

現代漢語譯本 那時，廣照王后在宮中，所有思慮和行動都停止了；直到十個月期滿，在太陽初升時，誕生了太子，容貌端正莊嚴，令人喜愛；當時大地發生了六種震動；在宮殿內，空中自然降下七種珍寶；王城內外，到處都降下各種美妙的天衣，以及最令人愉悅的美麗鮮花；所有地方的花樹、果樹都開花結果；到處都灑下細微的甘雨；四方緩緩吹起，適宜的和風。太子出生后，安穩地站在地上；當時四大天王，以他們的威神力，忽然使地面裂開，涌出用上妙珍寶裝飾的勝妙獅子座，奉獻給太子。帝釋天主，用天上的妙蓋和各種寶拂，遮蓋在太子上方。忉利天的天眾，降下天上的妙衣和寶露幔，又或者降下各種珍寶，或者裝飾品，或者美妙的衣飾，或者天上的妙花，或者香末、涂香、花環，或者天樂發出美妙的歌聲。毗首羯磨天子，用天神的力量，將王城內外的一切荊棘、沙礫清除，鋪上絲綢，用珠寶瓔珞裝飾，豎立起微妙的各種寶幢幡，遍灑清凈的旃檀香水，周圍安置各種美妙的香瓶，散佈各種鮮花，乃至一切令人愉悅的佈置。此外，還有一百頭大象，從曠野中，自然地進入王宮，住在馬廄里。還有一百頭牛來到田野里，不用耕耘，自然地按時，一切種子都完全成熟。 此外，在獅子座下，有五大寶藏，充滿各種珍寶，顯現出入口，可以隨意取用，永遠不會用盡。而且當時，所有一切有怨恨的眾生，在很短的時間內，都互相產生了慈愛之心。

English version At that time, Queen Guangzhao, in the palace, ceased all thoughts and actions; until after ten months were completed, at the time when the sun first rose, the prince was born, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, pleasing to all; at that moment, the earth shook in six ways; within the palace, seven treasures naturally rained down from the sky; inside and outside the royal city, everywhere rained down various wonderful celestial garments, as well as the most delightful and beautiful flowers; all the flower trees and fruit trees everywhere blossomed and bore fruit; fine sweet rain sprinkled everywhere; gentle and harmonious breezes arose slowly from all directions. After the prince was born, he stood firmly on the ground; at that moment, the Four Great Heavenly Kings, with their divine power, suddenly caused the ground to split open, and a magnificent lion throne adorned with supreme treasures emerged, offered to the prince. Lord Śakra, with a celestial canopy and various jeweled whisks, covered the prince above. The gods of Trayastriṃśa heaven rained down celestial garments and jeweled veils, or rained down various treasures, or ornaments, or beautiful attire, or celestial flowers, or powdered incense, perfumed ointment, garlands, or celestial music emitting wonderful songs. The celestial son Viśvakarman, with divine power, cleared away all thorns and gravel inside and outside the royal city, laid down silk, adorned it with jeweled necklaces, erected subtle banners and flags of various treasures, sprinkled pure sandalwood water everywhere, placed various wonderful fragrance bottles around, scattered various flowers, and made all other pleasing arrangements. Furthermore, a hundred elephants, from the wilderness, naturally entered the royal palace and stayed in the stables. And a hundred cows came to the fields, without plowing, naturally, on time, all seeds fully matured. Furthermore, beneath the lion throne, there were five great treasuries, filled with various treasures, with their entrances revealed, available for use at will, never to be exhausted. Moreover, at that time, all beings with enmity, in a very short time, developed loving-kindness towards each other.

。

「爾時太子，以宿命力神通威德，生已即時觀察四方，說伽陀曰：

「『人當修作諸福因，　　如彼所作勿間斷； 　　隨其樂欲施作時，　　由福藏故獲妙樂。』

「是時空中，別有一類天眾，見此廣大神通威德希有殊特福力事已，皆生歡悅，深心愛樂，為其發起福威力故，說伽陀曰：

「『四大王天諸天子，　　忉利天宮天主等， 　　彼諸福力極可愛，　　見此勝福復忻樂。』

「時眼力王，與其宮嬪、侍衛、眷屬、耆舊臣佐等，顯觀如是吉祥勝相，咸生嘆異，作如是言：『奇哉！太子，有大福力。奇哉！太子，具大名稱。今人中生，乃有如是天中吉祥廣大勝相，俱時出現。』時王歡喜，憐愛子故，敕主藏者：『汝今應開我之庫藏，廣出一切所有金寶，我當爲施所有一類善祝願者，使彼皆得財寶豐盈，令其為我妙善稱讚，廣作福事；然復愿我生生廣集吉祥勝福，當爲太子安立名字。』即時謂彼諸臣佐言：『今此太子當立何名？』近臣白言：『大王！今此太子，現生廣有吉祥福力勝相出現，是故宜應立名福力。』即時王敕福力為名。

「爾時王以福力太子，授其八母：二母抱持，二母乳哺，二母濯浣，二母嬉戲

現代漢語譯本 『那時，太子憑藉宿命的力量、神通的威德，出生后立即觀察四方，說了偈語： 『人們應當修作各種福德的因，就像他們所做的那樣不要間斷； 隨著他們樂意施作的時候，由於福德的積聚而獲得美妙的快樂。』 『這時，空中，另有一類天眾，見到這廣大神通威德稀有殊特的福力事蹟后，都心生歡喜，內心深愛，爲了發起他的福德威力，說了偈語： 『四大王天的諸天子，忉利天宮的天主等， 他們那些福力極其可愛，見到這殊勝的福德更加歡喜快樂。』 『這時，眼力王，和他的宮嬪、侍衛、眷屬、年老的臣佐等，顯見如此吉祥殊勝的相貌，都感到驚歎奇異，這樣說道：『奇特啊！太子，有大福力。奇特啊！太子，具有大名聲。如今在人中出生，竟然有如此天上的吉祥廣大殊勝的相貌，同時出現。』這時國王歡喜，因為憐愛兒子，命令主管庫藏的人：『你現在應當打開我的庫藏，廣泛拿出一切所有的金銀財寶，我將施捨給所有一類善於祝願的人，使他們都得到財寶豐盈，讓他們為我美妙地稱讚，廣泛地做福德之事；而且希望我生生世世廣泛積聚吉祥殊勝的福德，應當為太子安立名字。』立即對那些臣佐說：『現在這個太子應當立什麼名字？』近臣稟告說：『大王！現在這個太子，出生就廣泛有吉祥福力殊勝的相貌出現，因此應該立名為福力。』立即國王命令以福力為名。 『那時，國王把福力太子，交給他的八個母親：兩個母親抱持，兩個母親哺乳，兩個母親洗滌，兩個母親嬉戲。

English version 'At that time, the Crown Prince, with the power of his past lives, his spiritual powers and majestic virtue, immediately observed the four directions upon birth and spoke the following verse: 'People should cultivate the causes of various blessings, just as they do, without interruption; When they are happy to perform them, they obtain wonderful joy because of the accumulation of blessings.' 'At this time, in the sky, there was another group of heavenly beings who, upon seeing this great spiritual power, majestic virtue, rare and extraordinary blessings, all felt joy and deep love in their hearts. To initiate his power of blessings, they spoke the following verse: 'The sons of the Four Heavenly Kings, the lords of the Trayastrimsha Heaven, and others, Their blessings are extremely lovely, and seeing this superior blessing, they are even more joyful and happy.' 'At this time, King Eye-Power, along with his concubines, attendants, family members, and elderly ministers, clearly saw such auspicious and superior signs, and they all felt amazed and said: 'How wonderful! The Crown Prince has great blessings. How wonderful! The Crown Prince has a great reputation. Now, being born among humans, there are such auspicious, vast, and superior signs of the heavens appearing simultaneously.' At this time, the king was joyful, because he loved his son, and ordered the one in charge of the treasury: 'You should now open my treasury and widely take out all the gold and treasures. I will give them to all those who are good at making wishes, so that they may all obtain abundant wealth, and let them praise me wonderfully and widely do meritorious deeds; and I also hope that in all my lives, I will widely accumulate auspicious and superior blessings, and I should establish a name for the Crown Prince.' Immediately, he said to those ministers: 'What name should this Crown Prince be given?' A close minister reported: 'Great King! Now this Crown Prince, upon birth, has widely displayed auspicious blessings and superior signs, therefore, he should be named Blessing-Power.' Immediately, the king ordered that he be named Blessing-Power. 'At that time, the king entrusted the Crown Prince Blessing-Power to his eight mothers: two mothers held him, two mothers nursed him, two mothers washed him, and two mothers played with him.'

。令彼八母，依時養育、乳哺、濯浣及戲玩等，乃至余諸妙好樂具，一切供給，受用豐足，愿速成長，如凈蓮華處於池沼。其後太子漸成長已，習學諸書，隨學即能窮究奧妙，于剎帝利王種族中，乃至一切所應學者，學悉通達。而彼太子，深信賢善，內心清凈，一切所行，自利利他，具悲愍者。於法自在，哀拯有情，作諸佈施，無所積集，一切能捨，大舍遍舍，無有少分而不捨者。謂若沙門、婆羅門，貧窮孤露、諸乞丐者，或有來求自身血肉，是時太子于乞丐人，即起慈心，觀如虛空，乃作是念：『快哉！我今令其乞者得滿所愿，隨即施與，況復所有金銀珍寶，飲食衣服，涂香華鬘，諸臥具等，及余所欲諸受用具，愿我一切應念出現，得已施彼一切求者，使令意願皆悉圓滿。』」太子具是德故，名稱遍滿於閻浮提，下至龍界，上徹梵天，一切普聞

現代漢語譯本：讓那八位乳母，按照時令哺育、餵養、洗滌和嬉戲等，乃至其他各種美妙的娛樂用具，都全部供給，使其享用豐足，愿他迅速成長，如同清凈的蓮花生長在池塘中。之後，太子漸漸長大，學習各種書籍，一學就能深入研究其中的奧妙，在剎帝利王族中，乃至一切應該學習的知識，都全部通達。而這位太子，深信賢善，內心清凈，一切行為，都是爲了利益自己和他人，具有悲憫之心。他對於佛法自在通達，哀憐救濟眾生，廣行佈施，不積聚財物，一切都能捨棄，大舍遍舍，沒有絲毫吝惜。如果沙門、婆羅門，貧窮孤苦、乞丐等人，或者有人來求自身的血肉，這時太子對乞丐之人，立即生起慈悲之心，視如虛空，於是這樣想：『太好了！我今天讓那些乞求的人都能滿足願望。』隨即施捨給他們，更何況是金銀珍寶，飲食衣服，涂香花環，各種臥具等，以及其他所需要的各種享用之物，愿我的一切都能應念出現，得到后就施捨給所有求取的人，使他們的願望都能夠圓滿。』太子具有這樣的德行，所以他的名聲傳遍整個閻浮提，下至龍界，上至梵天，一切地方都普遍聽聞。 現代漢語譯本：讓那八位乳母，按照時令哺育、餵養、洗滌和嬉戲等，乃至其他各種美妙的娛樂用具，都全部供給，使其享用豐足，愿他迅速成長，如同清凈的蓮花生長在池塘中。之後，太子漸漸長大，學習各種書籍，一學就能深入研究其中的奧妙，在剎帝利王族中，乃至一切應該學習的知識，都全部通達。而這位太子，深信賢善，內心清凈，一切行為，都是爲了利益自己和他人，具有悲憫之心。他對於佛法自在通達，哀憐救濟眾生，廣行佈施，不積聚財物，一切都能捨棄，大舍遍舍，沒有絲毫吝惜。如果沙門、婆羅門，貧窮孤苦、乞丐等人，或者有人來求自身的血肉，這時太子對乞丐之人，立即生起慈悲之心，視如虛空，於是這樣想：『太好了！我今天讓那些乞求的人都能滿足願望。』隨即施捨給他們，更何況是金銀珍寶，飲食衣服，涂香花環，各種臥具等，以及其他所需要的各種享用之物，愿我的一切都能應念出現，得到后就施捨給所有求取的人，使他們的願望都能夠圓滿。』太子具有這樣的德行，所以他的名聲傳遍整個閻浮提，下至龍界，上至梵天，一切地方都普遍聽聞。

May he grow quickly, like a pure lotus flower in a pond. Later, when the prince gradually grew up, he studied various books, and upon learning, he could delve into their profound mysteries. Among the Kshatriya royal lineage, he mastered all that was to be learned. This prince deeply believed in virtue and goodness, his heart was pure, and all his actions were for the benefit of himself and others, filled with compassion. He was free in the Dharma, mercifully saving sentient beings, practicing generosity, not accumulating wealth, able to give up everything, giving greatly and completely, without holding back even a little. If there were monks, Brahmins, the poor, the orphans, or beggars, or if someone came seeking his own flesh and blood, at that time the prince would immediately feel compassion for the beggar, viewing him as empty space, and think: 『How wonderful! Today I will fulfill the wishes of those who beg.』 He would then give to them, not to mention gold, silver, jewels, food, clothing, fragrant ointments, flower garlands, various bedding, and other desired things. May all that I need appear at the thought, and having obtained it, I will give it to all who seek, so that their wishes may be completely fulfilled.』 Because the prince possessed such virtues, his name spread throughout Jambudvipa, down to the dragon realm, and up to the Brahma heaven, and was heard everywhere.

「複次，福力太子，乃至后時，與彼四兄出遊園苑；而於中路，有無數千鍼口餓鬼，居山半腹，容貌羸瘦，其猶聚骨，遍身熾焰，鬼眾圍繞人所不見，唯福力太子先睹其狀。而彼餓鬼，合掌居前，白太子言：『汝大福德，有大名稱，是悲愍者。我等飢渴，苦惱所逼，愿今餉我，少分飲食。我等宿世，造慳吝因，故此生中，墮餓鬼界，無數千歲，不得水飲，況復于食而可見邪？』時福力太子，仰瞻虛空，即起悲念：『快哉！我今若得天降少分飲食，當用餉此諸餓鬼眾。』是時忽然有多飲食，自天而降。福力太子，即以此食，餉諸餓鬼。彼餓鬼眾，宿業力故，悉不能見，咸作是言：『太子！我昔聞汝是悲愍者，何故今時不以飲食餉於我等？』太子告言：『我以天降飲食，前授汝等，云何於今不取食邪？』餓鬼白言：『太子！我等宿業力故，悉不能見。』時福力太子，復起是念：『愍哉！慳吝是不可愛。』乃作是言：『若諸福報有大力能，以我如是真實語故，令此餓鬼得見飲食，一切隨應皆能取食

English version The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of Prince Fulili, Volume 1, Spoken by the Buddha Taisho Tripitaka Volume 03, No. 0173, The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of Prince Fulili The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of Prince Fulili, Volume 2, Spoken by the Buddha Translated by the Tripitaka Master, Chao Feng Da Fu, Shi Guang Lu Qing, Dharma Master, and Purple-Robed Monk, Shi Hu, and others, by Imperial Decree, from the Western Heaven 'Furthermore, Prince Fulili, later on, went to the garden with his four elder brothers; and on the way, there were countless thousands of needle-mouthed hungry ghosts, dwelling on the mountainside, their appearances emaciated, like gathered bones, their bodies ablaze with flames, surrounded by a multitude of ghosts, unseen by people, only Prince Fulili saw their forms first. And those hungry ghosts, with palms together, stood before him, and said to the prince: 『You have great merit, a great name, and are compassionate. We are hungry and thirsty, tormented by suffering, we wish that you would now give us a small portion of food. In our past lives, we created the cause of stinginess, therefore in this life, we have fallen into the realm of hungry ghosts, for countless thousands of years, we have not had water to drink, how much less food to see?』 At that time, Prince Fulili, looking up at the sky, immediately had a thought of compassion: 『How wonderful! If I could now obtain a small portion of food from the heavens, I would use it to give to these hungry ghosts.』 At that time, suddenly, much food descended from the heavens. Prince Fulili, immediately used this food to give to the hungry ghosts. Those hungry ghosts, due to the power of their past karma, were all unable to see it, and all said: 『Prince! I have heard that you are compassionate, why do you not now give us food?』 The prince said: 『I have given you the food that descended from the heavens, why do you not take it now?』 The hungry ghosts said: 『Prince! Due to the power of our past karma, we are all unable to see it.』 At that time, Prince Fulili, again had this thought: 『How pitiful! Stinginess is not to be loved.』 Then he said: 『If the blessings have great power, by my true words, may these hungry ghosts be able to see the food, and all be able to take it as they should.』

。』發是言已，彼諸餓鬼，悉能見食，即時各變，面相如人。福力太子，心生歡喜，遂以飲食，恣其所取。彼餓鬼眾，既得食已，頓止飢渴，身力完具，壯實充盛，無醜惡形，乃于福力太子，各起清凈歡喜之意；即時命終，皆得生於兜率天上，旋處空中，白太子言：『太子！我等得生兜率天上，皆由汝之威神建立。』

「福力太子，聞此妙善語已，深大慶悅，即時前進詣園林中，與彼諸兄，共會議言：『世間人眾，何所修作，多獲義利？』彼色相具足者言：『今此世間色相行業，若人修作，多獲義利。何故知邪？謂若有人，他昔未見，見即歡喜；昔未信重，見已信重。如我往昔，師尊仙人，亦作是說，若有具足妙色相者，為人所喜，妙色可觀，瞻奉愛樂；猶如智人，樂最上法，設諸供養。』

「複次，精進具足者言：『非修色相多獲義利！今此應知，精進行業，若人修作，多獲義利。何以故？雖修色相，而無精進，豈能現世及他世中，獲可意果？或謂色相多獲義利者，彼是愚人，癡見所覆。如我所說，精進行業，于現世中能成可意果者，謂猶農夫植種，商賈獲利，仕者受祿，學人通教，修習禪定，得輕安果，皆為現世精進所成諸可意果

現代漢語譯本：『當他發出這個聲音時，那些餓鬼都能看見食物，並且立刻改變了面貌，變得像人一樣。福力太子心中非常高興，於是就讓它們隨意取用食物。那些餓鬼們得到食物后，立刻止住了飢餓和乾渴，身體變得強壯有力，不再有醜陋的模樣，他們對福力太子都產生了清凈歡喜的心意；隨即他們就去世了，都轉生到了兜率天，在空中盤旋，對太子說：『太子！我們能夠轉生到兜率天，都是因為您的威神力量。』 福力太子聽到這些美妙的話語后，心中非常高興，立刻走到園林中，和他的哥哥們一起商議說：『世間的人們，做什麼修行，才能獲得最大的利益呢？』其中一個外貌出衆的哥哥說：『現在這個世間，修習外貌的行業，如果有人修習，就能獲得最大的利益。為什麼這麼說呢？因為如果有人，以前沒見過你，見到你就會歡喜；以前不信任你，見到你就會信任你。就像我以前的老師仙人也說過，如果有人擁有美好的外貌，就會被人喜歡，外貌美好，值得觀看，讓人愛慕；就像有智慧的人，喜歡最上乘的佛法，會供養佛法一樣。』 另外，一個精進的哥哥說：『修習外貌並不能獲得最大的利益！現在應該知道，精進行業，如果有人修習，才能獲得最大的利益。為什麼呢？即使修習外貌，如果沒有精進，怎麼能在今生和來世獲得如意的結果呢？那些認為修習外貌能獲得最大利益的人，都是愚蠢的人，被癡迷的見解所矇蔽。就像我所說的，精進行業，在今生就能成就如意的結果，就像農夫種植莊稼，商人獲得利潤，當官的獲得俸祿，學習的人通曉教義，修習禪定的人獲得輕安的果實，這些都是今生精進所成就的如意結果。』

English version: 'When he uttered this sound, those hungry ghosts were able to see the food, and immediately their faces transformed, becoming like those of humans. Prince Fukuryoku was overjoyed, and so he allowed them to take food as they pleased. Once the hungry ghosts had received the food, they immediately stopped being hungry and thirsty, their bodies became strong and powerful, and they no longer had ugly appearances. They all developed pure and joyful intentions towards Prince Fukuryoku; then they passed away and were all reborn in the Tushita Heaven, hovering in the air, they said to the prince: 『Prince! Our rebirth in the Tushita Heaven is all due to your majestic power.』 Prince Fukuryoku, upon hearing these wonderful words, was deeply delighted. He immediately went to the garden and discussed with his brothers, saying: 『What practices should people in the world cultivate to gain the greatest benefit?』 One of the brothers, who had a beautiful appearance, said: 『In this world, the practice of cultivating one's appearance, if someone cultivates it, will bring the greatest benefit. Why do I say this? Because if someone has never seen you before, they will be happy to see you; if they did not trust you before, they will trust you after seeing you. Just like my former teacher, the sage, also said, if someone has a beautiful appearance, they will be liked by people, their appearance will be beautiful and worth seeing, and people will love and admire them; just like wise people who love the supreme Dharma and make offerings to it.』 Furthermore, another brother, who was diligent, said: 『Cultivating one's appearance does not bring the greatest benefit! Now it should be known that the practice of diligence, if someone cultivates it, will bring the greatest benefit. Why is that? Even if one cultivates their appearance, without diligence, how can one obtain desirable results in this life and the next? Those who think that cultivating one's appearance brings the greatest benefit are foolish people, blinded by deluded views. As I said, the practice of diligence can achieve desirable results in this life, just like farmers planting crops, merchants making profits, officials receiving salaries, students understanding teachings, and those who practice meditation obtaining the fruit of lightness and ease, all these are desirable results achieved through diligence in this life.』

。又此精進，於他世中能成可意果者，謂生善趣及生天界，大富自在，現證解脫，皆為他世精進所成諸可意果。由此一切功德，皆以精進而為依止。又此精進，能治怯弱，若運精進，無有少法而難成者。』

「複次，工巧具足者言：『汝諸仁者，雖復多種所說，而實不能稱可我心。何以故？所有精進，若無工巧，而終不能現有所成；若復精進同工巧作，乃能如實所作現成。是故應知，工巧行業，若人修作，多獲義利。又復具工巧者，若王、若臣，若沙門、婆羅門，諸長者等，乃至下族中人，及諸工巧之者，悉來供獻。』

「複次，智慧具足者言：『汝等當知，人所修作，多獲義利者，且非色相，亦非精進，又非工巧。何以故？所觀色相，若無智慧，雖復相似而不凈妙。所起精進，若無智慧，雖得義利而無有成。所作工巧，若無智慧，雖復營修不能攝持。是故應知，智慧能成一切事業，若人修作，多獲義利。又此智慧，能得色相，能成工巧，能發精進，能獲人中一切妙樂。』

「爾時福力太子，熙怡瞻視具智慧者，而謂之言：『如是，如是！汝言真實。所有色相、工巧、精進，若無智慧，不能多獲義利。故知智慧普能攝持諸如實果。仁者！然此智慧若無福力，諸有所作，亦不得成

現代漢語譯本：此外，這種精進，在來世中能成就令人滿意的結果，指的是投生善道和天界，擁有巨大的財富和自由，以及當下證得解脫，這些都是來世精進所成就的令人滿意的結果。因此，一切功德都以精進為基礎。而且，這種精進能夠克服怯懦，如果運用精進，就沒有什麼事情是難以成就的。 現代漢語譯本：『再者，具備工巧技能的人說：『各位仁者，你們所說的雖然很多，但實際上並不能讓我滿意。為什麼呢？因為所有的精進，如果沒有工巧技能，最終都不能成就任何事情；如果精進與工巧技能相結合，才能真正地成就所做的事情。所以應該知道，工巧行業，如果有人修習，就能獲得很多利益。而且，具備工巧技能的人，無論是國王、大臣、沙門、婆羅門，還是長者等，甚至下層階級的人，以及那些有工巧技能的人，都會前來供奉。』 現代漢語譯本：『再者，具備智慧的人說：『你們應當知道，人們所修習的，能夠獲得很多利益的，並非是外在的色相，也不是精進，更不是工巧技能。為什麼呢？因為所觀察的色相，如果沒有智慧，即使相似也不清凈美好。所發起的精進，如果沒有智慧，即使獲得利益也沒有成就。所做的工巧，如果沒有智慧，即使經營修習也不能把握。所以應該知道，智慧能夠成就一切事業，如果有人修習，就能獲得很多利益。而且，這種智慧，能夠獲得美好的色相，能夠成就工巧技能，能夠激發精進，能夠獲得人世間一切美好的快樂。』 現代漢語譯本：『這時，福力太子，面帶喜悅地看著具備智慧的人，對他說：『是這樣，是這樣！你說的真實。所有的色相、工巧、精進，如果沒有智慧，就不能獲得很多利益。所以知道智慧能夠普遍地把握一切真實的結果。仁者！然而這種智慧如果沒有福力，所做的一切，也不能成就。』

English version: Furthermore, this diligence, in future lives, can achieve desirable results, referring to being born in good realms and heavenly realms, possessing great wealth and freedom, and attaining liberation in the present life, all of which are desirable results achieved through diligence in future lives. Therefore, all merits are based on diligence. Moreover, this diligence can overcome timidity, and if diligence is applied, there is nothing that is difficult to achieve. English version: 'Furthermore, one skilled in craftsmanship says: 'Gentlemen, although you have said much, it does not truly satisfy my heart. Why is that? Because all diligence, without craftsmanship, ultimately cannot achieve anything; if diligence is combined with craftsmanship, then what is done can be truly achieved. Therefore, it should be known that the craft industry, if one practices it, can obtain many benefits. Moreover, those skilled in craftsmanship, whether they are kings, ministers, ascetics, Brahmins, elders, or even people of lower classes, and those with craftsmanship, will all come to offer gifts.' English version: 'Furthermore, one endowed with wisdom says: 'You should know that what people cultivate to obtain many benefits is not external appearance, nor diligence, nor craftsmanship. Why is that? Because the observed appearance, without wisdom, even if similar, is not pure and beautiful. The diligence that is initiated, without wisdom, even if benefits are obtained, there is no achievement. The craftsmanship that is done, without wisdom, even if managed and practiced, cannot be grasped. Therefore, it should be known that wisdom can achieve all undertakings, and if one cultivates it, one can obtain many benefits. Moreover, this wisdom can obtain beautiful appearances, can achieve craftsmanship, can inspire diligence, and can obtain all the wonderful pleasures in the human world.' English version: 'At that time, Prince Fukuli, with a joyful expression, looked at the one endowed with wisdom and said to him: 'It is so, it is so! What you say is true. All appearances, craftsmanship, and diligence, without wisdom, cannot obtain many benefits. Therefore, it is known that wisdom can universally grasp all true results. Gentlemen! However, this wisdom, without the power of merit, cannot achieve anything that is done.'

。是故實知，若人修福，多獲義利。何以故？福是純一果，福為光澤果，福為可意果，福是適悅果。如是福果，我不能盡說其功德，今為汝等，使開覺故，于福門中，說一少分，汝等善聽。由有福故，能獲色相，福具精進，福得吉祥亦獲大富，福具智慧，福能歌詠正法功德，福具聰利，福游正道，福生上族，福得宿念，福具名稱，福圓戒行，福能佈施，福力常得諸根不壞，福常快樂，有福常受智者所供，福完諸力，福常會遇善友知識，福力能作一切事業——謂若耕植田里，或復商賈求利少施其功大獲積集，富盛自在。有福即能于思念間，虛空自然雨其衣服飲食珍寶，一切具足，隨受快樂。福獲可意妙好舍宅；福于現世，及於他生，常得姝麗、妻女、眷屬及財谷等。福者所行之地，自然無其荊棘沙礫，住立平穩；福者亦獲廣大身相；若有患人，福者手所觸時，病隨輕差；又復福者隨觸於人，即能出彼飲食、衣服、珍寶、財谷，給用無盡；福者常得天龍夜叉羅剎鬼等隨處衛護，其猶雨時護苗稼神守護亦然。福者常得多人尊重愛樂；福有善譽，福為人讚

現代漢語譯本：因此確實可知，如果有人修習福德，就能獲得許多利益。為什麼呢？因為福德是純一的果報，福德是光彩照人的果報，福德是令人滿意的果報，福德是使人愉悅的果報。像這樣的福德果報，我不能完全說盡它的功德，現在爲了你們，使你們開悟覺醒，在福德的法門中，只說其中的一小部分，你們要好好聽。因為有福德的緣故，能夠獲得美好的容貌，福德具備精進的力量，福德能夠得到吉祥，也能獲得巨大的財富，福德具備智慧，福德能夠歌頌正法的功德，福德具備聰慧敏捷，福德能夠行走在正道上，福德能夠出生在高貴的家族，福德能夠獲得宿命通，福德具備美好的名聲，福德能夠圓滿戒律的修行，福德能夠行佈施，福德的力量常常使得諸根不壞，福德常常帶來快樂，有福德的人常常受到智者的供養，福德能夠圓滿各種力量，福德常常會遇到善良的朋友和知識淵博的人，福德的力量能夠成就一切事業——比如耕種田地，或者經商求利，稍微付出一些努力就能獲得大量的積累，變得富有而自在。有福德的人，即使在思念之間，虛空中也會自然降下衣服、飲食、珍寶，一切都具足，隨心所欲地享受快樂。福德能夠獲得令人滿意的美好住宅；福德在現世以及來世，常常能夠得到美麗動人的妻子、女兒、眷屬以及財物穀物等。有福德的人所行走的地方，自然沒有荊棘沙礫，行走平穩；有福德的人也能獲得高大的身相；如果有患病的人，有福德的人用手觸控時，病痛就會減輕或痊癒；而且有福德的人觸控他人時，就能使他們獲得飲食、衣服、珍寶、財物穀物，供給使用無窮無盡；有福德的人常常得到天龍、夜叉、羅剎、鬼等隨處護衛，就像下雨時守護莊稼的神靈一樣守護著他們。有福德的人常常得到許多人的尊重和愛戴；福德有美好的名聲，福德為人稱讚。 English version: Therefore, it is truly known that if a person cultivates blessings, they will obtain many benefits. Why is this so? Because blessings are the pure and singular result, blessings are the result of radiance, blessings are the result of satisfaction, and blessings are the result of joy. Such are the results of blessings, I cannot fully describe their merits. Now, for your sake, to awaken your understanding, I will speak of a small portion of the path of blessings. You should listen carefully. Because of blessings, one can obtain a beautiful appearance. Blessings possess diligence, blessings bring good fortune and great wealth. Blessings possess wisdom, blessings can sing the praises of the merits of the righteous Dharma. Blessings possess intelligence and quickness, blessings allow one to walk the righteous path. Blessings lead to birth in a noble family, blessings grant the ability to remember past lives, blessings bring a good reputation, blessings perfect the practice of precepts, blessings enable giving, the power of blessings ensures that the senses remain intact, blessings bring constant happiness, those with blessings are often honored by the wise, blessings perfect all powers, blessings often lead to encounters with good friends and knowledgeable people. The power of blessings can accomplish all endeavors—such as cultivating fields, or engaging in commerce for profit, with little effort one can accumulate great wealth and become prosperous and free. Those with blessings, even in thought, will have clothes, food, and treasures naturally rain down from the sky, everything is complete, and they can enjoy happiness as they wish. Blessings bring desirable and beautiful dwellings; blessings in this life and in future lives often bring beautiful wives, daughters, family members, and wealth and grains. The places where those with blessings walk are naturally free of thorns and gravel, and they walk smoothly; those with blessings also obtain a large physical form; if there are sick people, when those with blessings touch them with their hands, their illnesses will lessen or be cured; moreover, when those with blessings touch others, they can provide them with food, clothing, treasures, and wealth and grains, for endless use; those with blessings are often protected by gods, dragons, yakshas, rakshasas, and ghosts everywhere, just as the gods who protect crops during rain protect them. Those with blessings are often respected and loved by many people; blessings have a good reputation, and blessings are praised by others.

「太子說是諸福事時，四兄異見，修作不同，於是太子，又復言曰：『我今欲與諸兄潛適他國，隨所住處，證驗其事。為當色相人多修邪？或復精進、工巧、智慧福力人多修邪？』是時四兄，聞其言已，悉隨所行，不復告白父王，即適他國。

「入一國已，易其裝飾，各求棲止。時色相具足者，以妙色故，人所瞻睹，皆生悅意，隨獲富盛，受用資養。精進具足者，以勇力故，能有所取；而忽見一迅流大河，深廣可怖，中有極大旃檀香樹，彼精進者，取得其樹，貨易獲利，而成富盛，受用資養

So the prince said again: 『I now want to secretly go with you brothers to other countries, and based on where we live, verify this matter. Are those with good looks more likely to practice evil, or are those who are diligent, skillful, wise, and blessed more likely to practice evil?』 At that time, the four brothers, upon hearing these words, all acted according to their own ideas, without informing their father, and went to other countries. English version: 'After entering a country, they changed their attire and each sought a place to live. At that time, the one with good looks, because of his beautiful appearance, was pleasing to everyone who saw him, and thus quickly became wealthy, enjoying various material provisions. The diligent one, because of his courage and strength, was able to obtain something; he suddenly saw a swift and large river, deep and wide, which was frightening. In the river was a huge sandalwood tree. This diligent one took the tree, used it for trade, obtained benefits, became wealthy, and enjoyed various material provisions.'

「爾時福力太子，隨自勝福大威德力，周行施作利益福事。一日忽過貧人之舍，乃入其中，以彼太子福威力故，是舍忽有廣大吉祥勝相出現，金寶財谷，周匝充盈。時彼貧人，見已驚怪歡喜，思念：『此如是事，昔所未有，由何所起？從何所來？豈非此人來我舍中，是其威力之所致邪？』又念：『我昔極受貧苦，今獲勝利，一切豐盈，必由是人來此所致，使我舍中吉祥相現。此人大福，有大名稱，宜應于彼尊重供養。』由是尊奉，相續無間。太子于其貧人舍中，致諸富盛，令快樂已，乃至后時，遍流聲譽：『某甲舍中，昔甚貧匱，有一異人，來入其舍，彼威力故，是舍忽然吉祥相現。』諸人聞已，于福力太子咸生信重，俱共贊言：『奇哉！勝福，有大力能。』又以太子福威力故，于彼方處，華樹果樹，開敷結實，時令不愆，遍灑甘雨，種子產生，而得滋茂。時諸人眾，于福力太子，深生愛樂，俱來瞻仰

現代漢語譯本：具備精巧技藝的人，憑藉其精巧的技藝，無論做什麼事，都能因此獲得財富和興盛，享受豐厚的物質供養。具備智慧的人，憑藉其巧妙的智慧，能夠化解強大的怨恨，又能親近有財力的人，使他們心情愉悅，從而獲得衣物、財寶等，按照自己的意願享受物質供養。 當時，福力太子憑藉自身強大的福德和威望，四處施行利益眾生的善事。有一天，他偶然經過一個貧困人家的住所，便走了進去。由於太子的福德威力的緣故，這戶人家突然出現了廣大的吉祥景象，金銀財寶和糧食堆滿了屋子。當時，這戶貧困人家看到這種情況，既驚奇又高興，心想：『這種事情，以前從未發生過，這是怎麼回事？從哪裡來的？難道不是因為這個人來到我家，是他的威力所導致的嗎？』他又想：『我以前非常貧困，現在卻獲得了勝利，一切都變得富足，這一定是這個人來到這裡所導致的，才使得我家出現了吉祥的景象。這個人福德深厚，名聲遠揚，我應該對他尊敬供養。』於是，他便恭敬地侍奉太子，沒有間斷。太子在這戶貧困人家中，使他們變得富裕興盛，讓他們快樂之後，這件事甚至傳遍了四方，人們都說：『某某人家，以前非常貧困，有一個異人來到他們家，因為他的威力，他們家突然出現了吉祥的景象。』人們聽到后，都對福力太子產生了敬重之心，一起讚歎說：『真是奇妙啊！福德深厚，有強大的力量。』又因為太子的福德威力的緣故，在那個地方，花樹果樹都按時開放結果，甘霖普降，種子生長，並且茂盛。當時，眾人對福力太子產生了深深的愛戴，都來瞻仰他。

English version: Those skilled in craftsmanship, through their skillful abilities, can accomplish various tasks, thereby gaining wealth and prosperity, and enjoying abundant material provisions. Those endowed with wisdom, through their clever intelligence, can resolve great animosities, and also befriend those with wealth and power, pleasing them and making them happy, thus obtaining clothing, treasures, and other things, enjoying material provisions as they desire. At that time, Prince Fortune Power, relying on his own great merit and powerful virtue, traveled around performing beneficial deeds for the welfare of all beings. One day, he happened to pass by the dwelling of a poor person and entered it. Due to the power of the prince's merit, this house suddenly manifested vast auspicious signs, with gold, treasures, and grains filling the place. When the poor person saw this, he was both astonished and delighted, thinking: 'Such a thing has never happened before. How did this come about? Where did it come from? Could it be that this person came to my house, and it is due to his power?' He also thought: 'I was extremely poor before, but now I have gained victory, and everything is abundant. This must be because this person came here, causing auspicious signs to appear in my house. This person has great merit and a great reputation, and I should respect and make offerings to him.' Therefore, he respectfully served the prince without interruption. The prince made this poor person's house wealthy and prosperous, and after making them happy, the matter even spread far and wide, with people saying: 'So-and-so's house was very poor before, but a remarkable person came to their house, and because of his power, their house suddenly manifested auspicious signs.' Upon hearing this, people developed respect for Prince Fortune Power, and together they praised him, saying: 'How marvelous! He has great merit and great power.' Furthermore, due to the power of the prince's merit, in that place, flowering trees and fruit trees blossomed and bore fruit in due season, sweet rain fell everywhere, seeds grew, and flourished. At that time, the people developed deep love and respect for Prince Fortune Power, and they all came to gaze upon him.

「是時太子，為諸來者普攝其心，故作是念：『快哉！今時我此舍中，可能獲得一切珍寶，種種樂具，及諸妙巧悅意等物，給所來者使令具足。』發是心時，應念即現諸珍寶等，皆悉豐盈。時諸人眾，驚異嘆言：『奇哉！大福，為甘美果。』乃于太子咸生尊重。是時太子，即為諸人，如其所應，以四攝法，平等攝持，悉令和合，所謂同一佈施、愛語、利行、同事。由是名稱普聞一切國邑聚落。

「乃至后時，太子漸次到一國中，見其國王治罰一人善醫業者，敕彼獄官，破其身胑，斷截手足。流血既多，楚毒苦惱，是時被治罰人見太子已，發大苦聲，啼泣告言：『仁者！救我。仁者！救我。』太子即時惻愴斯事，乃自思惟：『我今作何方便救此人苦？』由是念間，忽生智解，如我所有施作福力世間現見。作是念已，悲心內激，即破自身，多出其血，授彼令飲，苦惱得除。太子又見手足已斷甚大苦惱，即取利刀斷己手足，置於彼人手足斷處。是時太子觀察虛空，普於一切有情隨起慈心，即發廣大真實愿言：『我於此生，曾無少分不善之業，若我所說為真實者，愿令此人手足斷處，即於今時支節相合，平復如故。』發是言已，彼人即時支節相合，身體完具，平復如故

現代漢語譯本 當時太子爲了普遍地攝受所有來訪者的心，就產生了這樣的想法：『太好了！現在這個時候，我的住所中，能夠獲得一切珍寶，各種各樣的娛樂器具，以及各種精巧美妙令人喜悅的物品，供給所有來訪的人，使他們都能夠滿足。』當他產生這個想法的時候，就立刻顯現出各種珍寶等物，都非常豐盛。當時的人們，都驚奇地感嘆說：『太神奇了！這是多麼大的福報，真是甘美的果實啊！』於是都對太子產生了敬重之心。當時太子，就為這些人，按照他們各自的情況，用四攝法平等地攝受他們，使他們都能夠和合相處，這四攝法就是：佈施、愛語、利行、同事。因此，太子的名聲普遍傳遍了所有的國家和村落。 後來，太子逐漸來到一個國家，看到那個國家的國王正在懲罰一個擅長醫術的人，命令獄官，要破開他的身體，砍斷他的手腳。流了很多血，痛苦不堪，這時被懲罰的人看到太子后，發出很大的痛苦的呼喊聲，哭著說：『仁者！救救我。仁者！救救我。』太子立刻對這件事感到悲傷，於是自己思考：『我現在用什麼方法才能救這個人脫離痛苦呢？』就在他思考的時候，忽然產生了智慧的理解，就像我所做的一切善行福德，在世間都能顯現出來一樣。產生這個想法后，悲憫之心在內心激發，就破開自己的身體，流出很多血，給那個人喝，他的痛苦就消除了。太子又看到那個人手腳被砍斷，非常痛苦，就拿起鋒利的刀，砍斷自己的手腳，放在那個人的手腳斷處。這時太子觀察虛空，普遍地對一切有情眾生生起慈悲之心，就發出了廣大真實的誓願：『我這一生，從來沒有做過任何不善的事情，如果我所說的是真實的，愿這個人手腳斷裂的地方，立刻在此時此刻，肢體相合，恢復如初。』發完這個誓願后，那個人立刻肢體相合，身體完整，恢復如初。

English version At that time, the Crown Prince, in order to universally gather the hearts of all who came, had this thought: 'Wonderful! Now, in my dwelling, it is possible to obtain all kinds of treasures, various kinds of enjoyable things, and all sorts of exquisite and pleasing objects, to provide for all who come, so that they may all be satisfied.' When he had this thought, various treasures and other things immediately appeared, all in great abundance. At that time, the people were amazed and exclaimed: 'How marvelous! Such great blessings, truly sweet fruits!' And so they all developed respect for the Crown Prince. At that time, the Crown Prince, for all these people, according to their respective situations, used the four means of gathering to equally embrace them, enabling them to live in harmony. These four means are: giving, kind speech, beneficial action, and cooperation. Because of this, the Crown Prince's name spread throughout all the countries and villages. Later, the Crown Prince gradually arrived in a country and saw that the king of that country was punishing a person skilled in medicine, ordering the prison officials to break his body and cut off his hands and feet. Much blood flowed, and he was in great pain. At this time, the person being punished saw the Crown Prince and cried out in great pain, weeping and saying: 'Kind one! Save me. Kind one! Save me.' The Crown Prince immediately felt compassion for this matter, and then thought to himself: 'What means can I use now to save this person from suffering?' Just as he was thinking, wisdom arose, just as all the good deeds and merits I have done are manifested in the world. After having this thought, compassion arose in his heart, and he broke open his own body, letting much blood flow, and gave it to that person to drink, and his suffering was relieved. The Crown Prince then saw that the person's hands and feet had been cut off, causing great suffering, so he took a sharp knife and cut off his own hands and feet, placing them at the places where the other person's hands and feet had been cut off. At this time, the Crown Prince observed the void, and universally generated a compassionate heart for all sentient beings, and made a great and true vow: 'In this life, I have never done any unwholesome deeds. If what I say is true, may the places where this person's hands and feet were cut off, immediately at this moment, be joined together, and be restored as before.' After making this vow, that person's limbs immediately joined together, his body was complete, and he was restored as before.

。太子見已，意願圓滿，即作是念：『我以勤勇，所作得成，出自身血，救此人苦。斷自手足，續其支節。又以真實大誓願力，使彼身命全復如故。愿我以此最上善根，成就阿耨多羅三藐三菩提果，當以法味授于彼人，畢竟令住安樂涅槃。』發是愿時，一切大地六種震動，帝釋天宮亦復震警。

「爾時帝釋天主，即自思惟：『此何事相？』而復觀察，乃見福力太子作彼最上極難行事，歡喜嘆異。又念：『今此大威德者，作是難事，何所求邪？我今宜往證驗其故。』即變婆羅門相自天而降，住太子前告言：『太子！我向見汝斷自手足，何所為邪？』太子答言：『仁者！他有苦惱，即我苦惱；若他快樂，即我快樂。故我向者見一被治罰人，甚大苦惱，我時乃以真實力故，棄捨自身手足支分，填續其人所斷割處，願力真誠，彼獲如故。』

「是時帝釋天主，愈生嘆異，即複本形，告太子言：『汝今豈非以不實心，或異所求，或退轉故，舍自身邪？』太子白言：『天主！我所棄捨自身手足，無不實心，亦無異求，又非退轉。』帝釋復言：『汝若然者，云何使我證知是事。』太子白言：『天主！汝豈不聞，如我所作，皆真實力

現代漢語譯本：太子看到這一切，心願圓滿，就想：『我憑藉勤奮和勇敢，所做的事情已經成功，我用自己的血肉，解救了這個人的痛苦。我斷了自己的手腳，接續了他的肢體。又以真實的大誓願力，使他的身體和生命完全恢復如初。我願以此最上等的善根，成就無上正等正覺的果位，當以佛法的滋味教導他，最終讓他安住在安樂的涅槃境界。』當他發出這個願望時，整個大地發生了六種震動，帝釋天的宮殿也震動起來。 這時，帝釋天主自己思量：『這是怎麼回事？』又仔細觀察，看到福力太子做了這樣最上等、極其難行的事，歡喜讚歎，感到驚異。又想：『現在這位大威德者，做這樣艱難的事情，是爲了什麼呢？我應該去驗證一下原因。』於是就變成婆羅門的樣子從天上降落，站在太子面前說：『太子！我剛才看到你砍斷自己的手腳，是爲了什麼呢？』太子回答說：『仁者！別人的痛苦，就是我的痛苦；如果別人快樂，就是我的快樂。所以我剛才看到一個被懲罰的人，非常痛苦，我當時就用真實的力量，捨棄自己的手腳肢體，填補他被割斷的地方，因為我的願力真實誠懇，所以他恢復了原樣。』 這時，帝釋天主更加感到驚異，就恢復了原來的樣子，告訴太子說：『你現在難道不是因為不真實的心，或者有其他的企圖，或者退轉了，才捨棄自己的身體嗎？』太子回答說：『天主！我所捨棄的自己的手腳，沒有不真實的心，也沒有其他的企圖，更不是退轉。』帝釋又說：『你如果真是這樣，要怎樣讓我知道這件事呢？』太子回答說：『天主！你難道沒聽說，我所做的一切，都是真實的力量嗎？』

English version: The prince, seeing this, his wish fulfilled, thought: 'Through my diligence and courage, what I have done has been accomplished. I have used my own flesh and blood to relieve this person's suffering. I severed my own limbs to restore his. And with the power of my true and great vow, I have completely restored his body and life to their original state. I vow that with this supreme root of goodness, I will attain the fruit of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, and I will teach him the taste of the Dharma, ultimately leading him to abide in the peaceful state of Nirvana.' When he made this vow, the entire earth shook in six ways, and the palace of the Deva Indra also trembled. At that time, the lord of the Devas, Indra, pondered to himself: 'What is the meaning of this?' Upon further observation, he saw that Prince Fukuryoku had performed this supreme and extremely difficult act, and he was filled with joy, praise, and astonishment. He also thought: 'Now, this great and virtuous one, doing such a difficult thing, what is he seeking? I should go and verify the reason.' So he transformed himself into the form of a Brahmin and descended from the heavens, standing before the prince and saying: 'Prince! I just saw you cut off your own limbs, what was the purpose?' The prince replied: 'Kind sir! The suffering of others is my suffering; if others are happy, then I am happy. Therefore, when I saw a person being punished and in great pain, I used the power of truth to give up my own limbs and fill the places where his were severed. Because my vow was true and sincere, he was restored to his original state.' At this time, the lord of the Devas, Indra, was even more astonished, and he returned to his original form, saying to the prince: 'Are you not now abandoning your body because of an insincere heart, or some other intention, or because you have regressed?' The prince replied: 'Lord of the Devas! In giving up my own limbs, there was no insincere heart, no other intention, and no regression.' Indra then said: 'If that is so, how can you make me know this?' The prince replied: 'Lord of the Devas! Have you not heard that everything I have done is through the power of truth?'

。』太子即於一切有情，隨起慈心，觀察四方以實願力，說伽陀曰：

「『若我所言是真實，　　貪愛自身為纏縛； 　　真實不退轉今時，　　愿我此身即如故。』

「說是伽陀已，太子身胑即獲如故。由是空中遍雨天華，奏天微妙可愛音樂，和風徐起，現諸瑞相。

佛說福力太子因緣經卷第三

西天譯經三藏朝奉大夫試光祿卿傳法大師賜紫沙門臣施護等奉　詔譯

「爾時帝釋天主，見是福力，現生果報，希有瑞相，又知人天悉皆胥悅，心頗異之。乃謂福力太子言：『太子！汝今如是勤修勝行，有何所求？』太子白言：『天主！我為求證阿耨多羅三藐三菩提果，拯拔一切有情，出生死海，悉令安住究竟涅槃。』時帝釋天主，知福力太子勤求阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，深心不動，猶若須彌，稱可其意，作是贊言：『善哉，善哉！大士！汝有廣大最上願力，必當速證阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』如是言已，隱身不現。

「複次，於後彼國之王耆年而終，其王未立灌頂太子，於是王之宗族臣佐人民，共會議言：『我等於今當令何人紹灌頂位？』時一人言：『若有福力大名稱者，可宜紹位

現代漢語譯本：太子隨即對一切有情眾生生起慈悲之心，觀察四方，以真實的願力，說了偈語： 『如果我所說的是真實的，貪愛自身就是一種束縛； 真實不退轉的此時此刻，愿我的身體恢復如初。』 說完偈語后，太子的身體立即恢復如初。因此，空中遍佈天花，奏響美妙動聽的音樂，和風緩緩吹起，呈現出各種吉祥的徵兆。 《佛說福力太子因緣經》卷第二 大正藏第03冊 No. 0173 《福力太子因緣經》 《佛說福力太子因緣經》卷第三 西天譯經三藏朝奉大夫試光祿卿傳法大師賜紫沙門臣施護等奉詔譯 這時，帝釋天主看到福力太子顯現的果報，以及這稀有的吉祥徵兆，又知道人天都非常喜悅，心中感到非常驚異。於是對福力太子說：『太子！你現在如此勤奮地修行殊勝的善行，有什麼所求呢？』太子回答說：『天主！我爲了求證阿耨多羅三藐三菩提的果位，救拔一切有情眾生，脫離生死苦海，讓他們都安住在究竟的涅槃之中。』當時，帝釋天主知道福力太子勤求阿耨多羅三藐三菩提的決心堅定不動搖，如同須彌山一般，非常讚賞他的心意，讚歎說：『太好了，太好了！大士！你擁有如此廣大最上的願力，必定能夠迅速證得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。』說完這些話后，帝釋天主就隱身不見了。 再後來，那個國家的國王年老去世，國王沒有冊立太子繼承王位。於是，國王的宗族、大臣和人民共同商議說：『我們現在應當讓誰來繼承王位呢？』這時，有一個人說：『如果有人擁有福德和名望，可以繼承王位。』

English version: The prince then, with a compassionate heart towards all sentient beings, observed the four directions and, with his sincere vows, spoke the following verse: 'If what I say is true, then attachment to oneself is a bondage; If this truth does not waver, may my body be restored to its original state.' After reciting the verse, the prince's body was immediately restored to its original state. Consequently, heavenly flowers rained down from the sky, exquisite and delightful music was played, a gentle breeze arose, and various auspicious signs appeared. 'The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of Prince Fortunate Power,' Volume Two Taisho Tripitaka Volume 03, No. 0173, 'The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of Prince Fortunate Power' 'The Sutra of the Causes and Conditions of Prince Fortunate Power,' Volume Three Translated by the Tripitaka Master, Chao Feng Da Fu, Shi Guang Lu Qing, Dharma Master, and Purple-Robed Monk, Shi Hu, and others, by Imperial Decree, from the Western Regions. At that time, the Lord of the Devas, Sakra, witnessing the results of Prince Fortunate Power's actions and these rare auspicious signs, and knowing that both humans and devas were delighted, was greatly astonished. He then said to Prince Fortunate Power, 'Prince! You are now so diligently cultivating these superior practices, what is it that you seek?' The prince replied, 'Lord of the Devas! I seek to attain the fruit of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, to liberate all sentient beings from the sea of birth and death, and to settle them in ultimate Nirvana.' At that time, the Lord of the Devas, knowing that Prince Fortunate Power's determination to seek Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi was firm and unwavering, like Mount Sumeru, approved of his intention and praised him, saying, 'Excellent, excellent! Great being! You possess such vast and supreme vows, you will surely quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.' After saying these words, he disappeared. Furthermore, later, the king of that country grew old and passed away. The king had not established a crown prince to succeed him. Therefore, the king's relatives, ministers, and people discussed together, saying, 'Who should we appoint to succeed to the throne now?' At that time, one person said, 'If there is someone with great fortune and reputation, he should be the one to succeed to the throne.'

。』如是言已，眾意悉同，即遣使人周行求訪。

「是時福力太子，當繼王位，善根開發，與諸侍從，出遊園林；太子行時，道路平坦，觸處皆無荊棘砂礫；于其中路，吉祥相現：細雨散空，旋布其頂；異色飛鳥，順次宛轉；童男童女，發勝妙聲，踴躍奔馳，咸生歡悅；一切人眾，身毛喜豎，皆得輕安。又聞空中悅意之言。太子睹斯事相，即起思念：『此相出現，我當決定紹灌頂位。』作是念已，進詣園中，受諸福樂。其園有一大無憂樹，華開茂盛，太子于彼安然寢寐。諸同往者，樂華果故，各于園中，隨處遊賞。又復太子，福威力故，彼有龍王，忽然從地涌出千葉微妙蓮華，其量廣大，色香具足，最上可愛。而彼龍王，又以神力徐置太子在蓮華上；爾時太子都無動覺。由是漸過食時，日正中分，余諸樹影悉皆移動，唯無憂樹影覆太子身，如故不動。又彼園中諸餘華樹，皆悉傾向，大無憂樹，吉祥勝相，悅意可觀。

「時福力太子，夢見自身處穢污上，又見自身穢污所染，又見自以舌舐虛空，又見自身蓮華中立，又見自身上起山峰，又見眾人頂禮於己。太子寤已，隨應占察如上所夢：『如我夢見自身在於穢污上者，我必應居灌頂王位，大富自在，斯為前相。如我所見穢污染身者，我應處於大師子座

『說完這些話，大家的意見都一致了，立即派遣使者四處尋訪。 當時，福力太子即將繼承王位，他的善根已經開發，於是和侍從們一起出遊園林；太子行走時，道路平坦，到處都沒有荊棘砂礫；在道路中間，出現了吉祥的景象：細雨從空中飄落，盤旋在太子的頭頂；各種顏色的飛鳥，依次盤旋飛舞；童男童女發出美妙的聲音，歡快地奔跑，都感到非常高興；所有的人都感到身上汗毛豎立，都感到輕鬆安適。又聽到空中傳來悅耳的聲音。太子看到這些景象，就想：『這些景象出現，我必定會繼承灌頂王位。』這樣想著，就進入園中，享受各種福樂。園中有一棵高大的無憂樹，花開茂盛，太子在那裡安然入睡。其他一同前往的人，因為喜歡花果，各自在園中隨意遊玩。又因為太子的福德威力，有一位龍王，忽然從地裡涌出一朵千葉微妙的蓮花，這朵蓮花巨大無比，顏色和香氣都非常完美，極其可愛。龍王又用神力慢慢地把太子放在蓮花上；這時太子完全沒有感覺到。就這樣漸漸地過了吃飯的時間，到了正午，其他樹的影子都移動了，只有無憂樹的影子覆蓋著太子的身體，像原來一樣沒有移動。而且園中其他的花樹，都向著大無憂樹傾斜，吉祥美好的景象，令人賞心悅目。 當時，福力太子夢見自己身處污穢之中，又夢見自己被污穢所染，又夢見自己用舌頭舔舐虛空，又夢見自己站在蓮花之中，又夢見自己身上升起山峰，又夢見眾人向自己頂禮。太子醒來后，就根據夢境占卜：『我夢見自己身處污穢之中，我必定會登上灌頂王位，大富大貴，這是預兆。我夢見自己被污穢所染，我應該坐在大師子座上。

'Having spoken thus, everyone agreed, and immediately sent messengers to seek and inquire everywhere.' 'At that time, Prince Fukuli was about to succeed to the throne. His good roots had developed, and he went to the garden with his attendants. When the prince walked, the road was flat, and there were no thorns or gravel anywhere. In the middle of the road, auspicious signs appeared: fine rain scattered in the air, swirling above his head; birds of various colors flew in sequence; young boys and girls made beautiful sounds, jumping and running, all feeling joyful; everyone's body hair stood on end, and they all felt light and at ease. They also heard pleasant words in the air. When the prince saw these signs, he thought: 'These signs appear, I will surely inherit the coronation throne.' With this thought, he entered the garden and enjoyed all kinds of blessings. There was a large Ashoka tree in the garden, with flourishing flowers. The prince slept peacefully there. The others who went with him, because they liked the flowers and fruits, each wandered around the garden. Moreover, because of the prince's power of merit, a dragon king suddenly emerged from the ground with a thousand-petaled exquisite lotus flower. The lotus was vast, with perfect color and fragrance, and was extremely lovely. The dragon king then slowly placed the prince on the lotus with his divine power; at that time, the prince felt nothing at all. Thus, the time for eating gradually passed, and it was noon. The shadows of all the other trees had moved, but only the shadow of the Ashoka tree covered the prince's body, remaining still as before. Moreover, all the other flowering trees in the garden leaned towards the great Ashoka tree, a beautiful and auspicious sight, pleasing to the eye.' 'At that time, Prince Fukuli dreamed that he was in a filthy place, and also dreamed that he was stained by filth, and also dreamed that he was licking the void with his tongue, and also dreamed that he was standing in a lotus flower, and also dreamed that a mountain peak rose from his body, and also dreamed that everyone was bowing down to him. After the prince woke up, he interpreted his dreams accordingly: 'As I dreamed that I was in a filthy place, I must be enthroned as the coronation king, with great wealth and freedom, this is a sign. As I saw myself stained by filth, I should be seated on the great lion throne.'

。如我所見上起山峰者，我應於一切處常居最上。如我所見眾人頂禮者，我應為彼眾所尊重。如是等事，審佔其相，我今決定為灌頂王。』

「爾時彼國臣佐，先遣使人周行求訪到彼園中，具見太子次第相續吉祥勝相；心生驚異，此大福力，有大名稱。即時速還，具陳上事。時諸臣佐，聞彼言已，皆生歡喜。即依法儀，悉備所須，行詣園中，授其灌頂，到已見諸吉祥勝相。

「時福力太子，即于微妙大蓮華上，結加趺坐。以福力開發故，四大天王奉天莊嚴大師子座，帝釋天主奉天妙蓋及眾寶拂，忉利諸天奉種種寶嚴飾露幔，散眾寶華如雲而下。四大王天諸天子眾，雨種種寶，奏天微妙可愛音樂，及散妙衣。國中園林，周遍清凈，一切悉無荊棘砂礫。豎立幢幡珠繒交絡，設妙香瓶，散諸異華與天宮等。帝釋天主，敕毗首羯磨天子，普于園林，悉令化出四寶所成廣大樓閣，以備太子隨意受用。時彼臣佐，又觀如是希有勝相，轉復異之，咸各肅恭，虔命太子處師子座，頂禮尊奉，如其法儀，為授灌頂。太子得灌頂已，身出光明，周遍照耀一由旬量，映蔽日光而不顯現。是時眾中，有一類人，見斯光已，咸悉稱言：『此勝光王。』一類人言：『此福力王

『正如我所見，那些攀登高峰的人，我應當在所有地方都居於最高的位置。正如我所見，眾人向我頂禮，我應當被眾人所尊敬。像這樣的事情，仔細觀察其徵兆，我現在決定成為灌頂之王。』 『那時，那個國家的臣子們，先派遣使者四處尋訪，來到那個園林中，詳細地看到了太子接連不斷的吉祥殊勝之相；心中感到驚異，此等大福德之力，擁有如此大的名聲。他們立即快速返回，詳細稟告了上述情況。當時，各位臣子聽聞此言后，都感到非常歡喜。他們立即按照法儀，準備好一切所需之物，前往園林，為太子舉行灌頂儀式，到達后看到了各種吉祥殊勝之相。 『當時，福力太子，就在微妙的大蓮花上，結跏趺坐。因為福力的顯現，四大天王奉上天界莊嚴的大師子座，帝釋天主奉上天界的精美寶蓋和各種寶拂，忉利天的諸天奉上各種寶物裝飾的露幔，散下如雲般的各種寶花。四大王天的諸天子們，降下各種寶物，演奏天界美妙動聽的音樂，並散下精美的衣物。國內的園林，到處都清凈無比，一切都沒有荊棘和沙礫。豎立著幢幡，珠繒交錯，擺放著精美的香瓶，散發著各種奇花，與天宮一樣。帝釋天主，命令毗首羯磨天子，在園林中普遍化出四寶所成的廣大樓閣，以供太子隨意享用。當時，那些臣子們，又看到如此稀有殊勝的景象，更加感到驚異，都恭敬肅穆，虔誠地請太子登上師子座，頂禮尊奉，按照法儀，為太子舉行灌頂儀式。太子得到灌頂后，身上發出光明，照耀周圍一由旬的範圍，遮蔽了日光，使其無法顯現。這時，人群中，有一類人，看到這光明后，都稱讚說：『這是勝光王。』另一類人說：『這是福力王。』

'As I see those who climb the peaks, I should always dwell in the highest place everywhere. As I see the multitude bowing to me, I should be respected by them. Such things, carefully observing their signs, I now decide to be the enthroned king.' 'At that time, the ministers of that country first sent messengers to search around and visit that garden, where they saw in detail the auspicious and excellent signs of the prince in succession; they were amazed in their hearts, this great power of merit, possessing such a great reputation. They immediately returned quickly and reported the above matters in detail. At that time, when the ministers heard these words, they were all very happy. They immediately prepared everything needed according to the rituals, went to the garden, and performed the enthronement ceremony for the prince, and upon arrival, they saw all kinds of auspicious and excellent signs.' 'At that time, Prince Fukuli, sat in the lotus position on a wonderful great lotus flower. Because of the development of his merit, the Four Heavenly Kings offered a magnificent lion throne of heavenly adornment, the Lord of the Devas, Indra, offered a wonderful heavenly canopy and various jeweled whisks, the devas of Trayastrimsa offered canopies decorated with various treasures, and scattered various jeweled flowers like clouds. The sons of the Four Great King Heavens rained down various treasures, played wonderful and lovely heavenly music, and scattered exquisite garments. The gardens in the country were clean and pure everywhere, without any thorns or gravel. Banners and streamers were erected, with pearls and silks intertwined, exquisite incense bottles were placed, and various exotic flowers were scattered, like the heavenly palace. The Lord of the Devas, Indra, ordered the son of Vishvakarman to transform the gardens into vast pavilions made of four treasures, for the prince to use as he pleased. At that time, the ministers, seeing such rare and excellent sights, were even more amazed, and they all respectfully and solemnly invited the prince to ascend the lion throne, bowing and honoring him, and according to the rituals, performed the enthronement ceremony for the prince. After the prince was enthroned, his body emitted light, illuminating an area of one yojana around him, obscuring the sunlight so that it could not be seen. At this time, among the crowd, one group of people, seeing this light, all praised and said: 'This is King of Victorious Light.' Another group said: 'This is King of Merit Power.'

「爾時福力王將入王城，帝釋天主等，于其王前，隨依法儀，作供獻已，隱復天宮。時福力王，既入城已，善布國政，人民熾盛，安隱豐樂，息諸斗諍，卻除他敵，悉無賊盜、饑饉、疾病，愛護人民，猶如一子。華果樹林，悉皆茂盛，時令不愆，稼穡豐阜，雨澤順時，大地受潤。複次，其後王之四兄，聞斯異事，咸生驚怪，共會議言：『福力太子，勝過我等，福慧二全，以福力故，為大國王，最上大富，稱可我心，我等今時宜共往彼。』於是四兄，同詣福力王所。到已即時咸祝之言：『愿汝最勝增長壽命。』又復贊言：『善哉！大王！汝昔要期，今能固立福慧若斯，勝過我等，於他國中，統王大位，皆由汝勝福力所成。我等親朋，具悉瞻睹。』

「時福力王，從師子座歡喜而下，致敬問訊，如應施設高廣之座，命彼諸兄次第而坐。諸兄即令王複本座。眾坐已定，作諸供獻。如先所論，互談議已，皆生決定歡喜之心。時王起尊重意，各以所奉。如是集會過二三日，王為諸兄及彼人眾開發，令知福非福事，說伽陀曰：

「『無福者墮地獄中，　　受大苦惱常無間； 　　或墮餓鬼或畜生，　　受飢渴苦及負重。 　　無福之者壞其身，　　無福為奴重疲極， 　　無福墮于聾啞中，　　無福愚鈍多邪慧

現代漢語譯本：當時，福力王將要進入王城時，帝釋天主等眾神，在他的面前，按照儀軌，供奉完畢后，就隱身返回天宮。那時，福力王進入王城后，妥善治理國家政事，人民興旺，安寧富足，平息各種爭鬥，驅除外敵，沒有盜賊、饑荒、疾病，愛護人民，如同對待自己的孩子一樣。花果樹木，都茂盛生長，時令沒有差錯，莊稼豐收，雨水及時，大地得到滋潤。此外，後來，王的四個哥哥，聽說了這些奇異的事情，都感到驚奇，一起商議說：『福力太子，勝過我們，福德和智慧都具備，因為他的福力，成為大國王，最富有，很合我們的心意，我們現在應該一起去拜訪他。』於是，四個哥哥，一同前往福力王那裡。到達后，立刻都祝賀他說：『愿您最尊貴，壽命增長。』又讚歎說：『太好了！大王！您以前的誓願，現在能夠堅定地實現，福德和智慧如此之高，勝過我們，在其他國家中，統治著王位，都是因為您殊勝的福力所成就的。我們這些親朋好友，都親眼看到了。』 當時，福力王從獅子座上高興地下來，行禮問候，按照禮儀設定高大的座位，讓他的哥哥們依次坐下。哥哥們就讓福力王回到原來的座位。大家坐定后，進行各種供奉。像之前所說的那樣，互相交談議論后，都產生了堅定的歡喜之心。這時，福力王升起尊重的心意，各自拿出所奉獻的禮物。這樣過了兩三天，福力王為他的哥哥們和那裡的人們開示，讓他們明白福與非福的道理，說了偈語：『沒有福德的人會墮入地獄，遭受巨大的痛苦，永無間斷；或者墮入餓鬼道或者畜生道，遭受飢渴的痛苦和揹負重物的勞累。沒有福德的人會毀壞自己的身體，沒有福德的人會做奴隸，非常疲憊，沒有福德的人會墮入聾啞的境地，沒有福德的人愚笨遲鈍，多有邪惡的智慧。』

English version: At that time, when King Fuklila was about to enter the royal city, the Lord Shakra and other deities, in front of him, after making offerings according to the rituals, concealed themselves and returned to the heavenly palace. Then, after King Fuklila entered the royal city, he managed the national affairs well, the people prospered, were peaceful and wealthy, he quelled all kinds of disputes, drove away foreign enemies, there were no thieves, famine, or diseases, and he loved the people as if they were his own children. The flowering and fruit trees all grew luxuriantly, the seasons were not in error, the crops were abundant, the rain was timely, and the earth was nourished. Furthermore, later, the king's four elder brothers, having heard of these extraordinary events, were all amazed, and discussed together, saying: 'Prince Fuklila, surpasses us, possessing both blessings and wisdom, because of his blessings, he has become a great king, the wealthiest, which is very pleasing to our hearts, we should now go and visit him together.' Therefore, the four brothers, together went to where King Fuklila was. Upon arriving, they immediately congratulated him, saying: 'May you be the most honored, and your life be extended.' They also praised him, saying: 'Excellent! Great King! Your previous vows, you are now able to firmly realize, your blessings and wisdom are so high, surpassing us, in other countries, ruling the throne, all of which is achieved because of your superior blessings. We, your relatives and friends, have all witnessed this with our own eyes.' At that time, King Fuklila happily descended from the lion throne, paid his respects and greetings, and according to the etiquette, set up high seats, and had his brothers sit down in order. The brothers then had King Fuklila return to his original seat. After everyone was seated, they made various offerings. As mentioned before, after talking and discussing with each other, they all developed a firm sense of joy. At this time, King Fuklila raised a respectful intention, and each presented their offerings. After two or three days, King Fuklila enlightened his brothers and the people there, making them understand the principles of blessings and non-blessings, and spoke the verses: 'Those without blessings will fall into hell, suffering great pain, without interruption; or fall into the realm of hungry ghosts or animals, suffering from hunger and thirst and the fatigue of carrying heavy loads. Those without blessings will destroy their own bodies, those without blessings will be slaves, extremely exhausted, those without blessings will fall into the state of being deaf and mute, those without blessings are foolish and dull, and have much evil wisdom.'

現代漢語譯本 有福之人所做的善行會得到很好的守護，在任何時候都不會散失。 有福之人所行之事不會懈怠疲倦，常常生起堅固勇猛的心。 如同大傘覆蓋，廕庇廣闊無邊，又能制止消除各種惡劣的雨水。 如同小牛跟隨母牛常常得到乳汁餵養，有福之人所愿所想都能如意實現。 又如劫樹，令人喜悅地觀看，常常獲得一切想要的果實。 有福之人能夠具備忍辱的力量，並且得到令人喜悅的大吉祥。 他們的信仰堅定深厚，可以依靠追隨，生生世世都具有美好的容貌。 有福之人廣泛傳播美好的名聲，能夠具備廣博的知識和智慧。 見到他們的人都會生起愛慕喜悅的心，並且能夠獲得過目不忘的記憶力。 有福之人臨終時沒有疾病，臨終時也會歡喜地離去。 極其惡劣的景象不會出現，遠離驚恐和苦惱。 有福之人臨終時會享受天上的快樂，天宮樓閣會出現在他們面前。 忉利天、夜摩天的諸位天人，都會前來迎接他們。 兜率天宮的諸位天子，化樂天的天眾也是如此。 他化自在天的欲界天人，都會前來衛護有福之人。 有福之人猶如大梵天王，無數天眾都尊敬侍奉他們。 在他們所處的一千個梵界中，他們廣大尊貴，自在無礙。 有福之人所做的一切都會成功，並且常常處於快樂的境地。 一切眾生都會對他們生起愛慕喜悅的心，甚至外在的環境也不會對他們造成傷害。 這時，各位兄弟和他們的人眾，聽了這些偈語后，對福力王都心悅誠服，非常歡喜。他們清楚地知道，無論今生還是來世，福力都是最殊勝的。

English version The good deeds done by the blessed are well protected and are never lost at any time. The actions of the blessed are never lazy or weary, and they always arise with a firm and courageous heart. Like a vast umbrella covering and sheltering, they can also prevent and eliminate all kinds of evil rain. Like a calf that always gets milk from its mother, the blessed can fulfill all their wishes and desires. Like the wish-fulfilling tree, which is pleasing to behold, they always obtain all the fruits they desire. The blessed are able to possess the power of patience and obtain great auspiciousness that brings joy. Their faith is deep and firm, and they can be relied upon and followed. In every life, they possess beautiful appearances. The blessed spread their good reputation far and wide, and they possess extensive knowledge and wisdom. Those who see them will develop a heart of love and joy, and they will also gain the ability to remember everything they hear. The blessed have no illness at the time of their death, and they will also depart with joy. Extremely evil scenes will not appear, and they will be far from fear and suffering. The blessed will enjoy heavenly bliss at the time of their death, and heavenly palaces and pavilions will appear before them. The gods of Trayastrimsa and Yama heavens will come to welcome them. The princes of Tushita heaven and the heavenly beings of Nirmanarati heaven will also do the same. The gods of Paranirmitavasavartin heaven will all come to protect the blessed. The blessed are like the Great Brahma King, and countless heavenly beings respect and serve them. In the thousand Brahma realms where they reside, they are vast, noble, and free.

「時福力王，為諸人眾廣說福事，開發心已，觀察虛空，作是念言：『快哉！我今可能遍於王城內外，悉雨種種珍寶衣服。』發是心時，忽有種種殊妙衣服，及悅意華諸妙珍寶，自天而降，悉皆充滿王城內外。現是相時，人天胥悅，咸生驚異，悉起廣大凈信之心，俱發是言：『快哉！天子，有是福力，具大威德。』

「複次其後諸小國王，聞是事已，咸起思念：『彼王有大福力，具大名稱，我今宜應往彼尊奉。』由是諸王共會一處，各領四兵，所謂象、馬、車、步兵眾，同詣福力王所，下車前進，肅恭伸拜，合掌白言：『天子大福，具大名稱，為大國王，威德特尊，我等今時故來親奉。』

「時福力王，即復致問，普為慰安，如次坐已，並其官屬，各與無價上妙珍寶；又以十善法門，普為攝化。是時諸王，俱獲勝利，各還本國。

「複次，其後父眼力王，展轉聞知如是奇事，先遣使人詣彼國已，自當速疾與諸官屬，終日竟夜，促途前進。父王到已，愛念子故，即時遙見，雙目淚垂，悲喜交盈，聲哀心切，速從車下，前執其手，久而視之，父王乃言：『我是汝父，汝必深知，我今年耄衰朽若斯，國政甚難，我不堪任，今付于汝，汝當負荷

現代漢語譯本 『當時福力王為眾人廣泛宣說福報之事，啓發他們的心意后，觀察虛空，心中想道：『太好了！我現在能夠遍佈整個王城內外，降下各種珍寶和衣服。』當他生起這個念頭時，忽然有各種殊勝美妙的衣服，以及令人喜悅的鮮花和各種珍寶，從天而降，全部充滿王城內外。出現這種景象時，人天都感到喜悅，都感到驚奇，都生起了廣大的清凈信心，一起說道：『太好了！天子，有這樣的福力，具有如此大的威德。』 『其次，後來的各個小國王，聽到這件事後，都開始思考：『那位國王有很大的福力，具有很大的名聲，我現在應該去他那裡尊奉他。』因此，各個國王聚集在一起，各自率領四種軍隊，即像兵、馬兵、車兵和步兵，一同前往福力王那裡，下車前進，恭敬地行禮，合掌說道：『天子福報廣大，具有很大的名聲，作為大國王，威德特別尊貴，我們現在特意前來親近侍奉。』 『當時福力王，隨即再次詢問，普遍地進行慰問安撫，按照次序坐下後，連同他的官員屬下，各自給予無價的上等珍寶；又用十善法門，普遍地進行攝受教化。這時，各個國王都獲得了勝利，各自返回自己的國家。 『其次，後來父眼力王，輾轉聽聞了這樣的奇事，先派遣使者前往那個國家，自己也應當迅速地與各位官員屬下，日夜兼程，加快速度前進。父王到達后，因為愛念兒子的緣故，立刻遠遠地看見了他，雙眼流下眼淚，悲傷和喜悅交織在一起，聲音哀切，內心急切，迅速從車上下來，上前握住他的手，看了很久，父王才說道：『我是你的父親，你一定很清楚，我今年已經年老體衰，像這樣衰朽，治理國家政事非常困難，我不能勝任，現在把國家交給你，你應當承擔起來。』

English version 'At that time, King Fortune Power extensively preached about the matters of blessings to the people, having opened their minds, he observed the void and thought: 'Wonderful! I am now able to shower various treasures and clothes throughout the entire city and its surroundings.' When he had this thought, suddenly various exquisite and wonderful clothes, as well as pleasing flowers and various precious treasures, descended from the sky, completely filling the city and its surroundings. When this phenomenon appeared, both humans and celestial beings were delighted, all were amazed, and all developed great pure faith, saying together: 'Wonderful! The Son of Heaven has such blessings and possesses such great power and virtue.' 'Furthermore, later, the various small kings, having heard of this matter, all began to contemplate: 'That king has great blessings and possesses great renown, I should now go to him and honor him.' Therefore, the various kings gathered together, each leading four types of troops, namely elephant troops, horse troops, chariot troops, and infantry, and together they went to King Fortune Power. They dismounted from their chariots, advanced respectfully, bowed with their palms together, and said: 'Your Majesty has great blessings, possesses great renown, and as a great king, your power and virtue are especially esteemed. We have come here today specifically to be close to and serve you.' 'At that time, King Fortune Power immediately inquired again, offering universal comfort and reassurance. After they were seated in order, he gave each of them, along with their officials and subordinates, priceless superior treasures; he also used the ten virtuous practices to universally guide and transform them. At this time, all the kings achieved victory and returned to their respective countries.' 'Furthermore, later, King Father Eye Power, having heard of such extraordinary events through various channels, first sent messengers to that country, and then he himself, along with his officials and subordinates, traveled day and night, speeding forward. When the father king arrived, out of love for his son, he immediately saw him from afar, tears streaming from his eyes, filled with both sorrow and joy, his voice mournful and his heart anxious. He quickly got out of his chariot, went forward to hold his hand, and after looking at him for a long time, the father king said: 'I am your father, you must know well that I am now old and frail, so decayed, that governing the country is very difficult, I am unable to do it, now I entrust the country to you, you should take on this responsibility.'

'Having spoken, he immediately removed his own jeweled crown and placed it on his son's head. The son, following his father's instructions, also took charge of the kingdom.'

The kingdom was prosperous, and his prestige was exceptionally high. He universally provided all the people with precious jewels and wealth, and he guided them with the ten virtuous practices. At that time, the people of Jambudvipa lived in prosperity and peace, without strife, eliminating foreign enemies, and there were no thieves, famine, or diseases, nor were there any poor or disabled people. They all possessed abundant wealth and treasures, had large families, and lived as they wished. Moreover, in all places, thorns and gravel were naturally removed. The seasons were regular, the rain was abundant, flowers and fruits flourished, and crops were plentiful. The people all knew that this was the result of increased fortunate power, and they often practiced giving, performed various meritorious deeds, purified themselves, and observed the precepts. The people of Jambudvipa, upon death, were all reborn in the Heaven of the Four Great Kings; King Fortunate Power developed the roots of goodness for countless people, bringing great benefits in this life and the next, and countless thousands of people were reborn in the Tushita Heaven upon death.'

。彼時帝釋天主者，今目乾連苾芻是。而彼國王趣命終者，即魔王是。彼貧人者，今羅睺羅苾芻是。彼受治罰善醫業者，今憍陳如苾芻是。諸苾芻！以是緣故當知福力，而諸有情於一切時，應廣修作諸勝行業。故我先說彼福力者，我不見有少法隨修作已多獲義利。」

爾時諸苾芻咸生疑念，俱白佛言：「世尊！彼福力王乃往古世修何行業感是報應，統王諸國具大名稱，威德特尊受天人福，諸有所須于思念間一切如應，自天而降生時地動，空中雨寶降師子座，帝釋奉蓋現寶藏等，是事云何？愿佛開決。」

佛言：「諸苾芻！福力王者，于累生中積修福業，行愿廣大緣力合集，決定如應受勝福報。又諸苾芻！汝等當知，一切有情所作行業，皆非外緣可得，亦非地界、水界、火界、風界所成，若善、不善隨蘊、處、界起諸行業。」即說伽陀曰：

「假使經百劫，　　不壞諸業因， 　因緣和合時，　　有情隨受果。

「諸苾芻！我念過去久遠世時，有佛出世，號無能勝如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。其佛普於世間作佛事已，乃至最後於一國中入無餘依大涅槃界，如薪盡火滅。而彼國王收其舍利，造立寶塔廣大供養

現代漢語譯本：當時的天帝釋，就是現在的目犍連比丘。而那個臨終的國王，就是魔王。那個窮人，就是現在的羅睺羅比丘。那個接受懲罰的善醫，就是現在的憍陳如比丘。各位比丘！因此你們應當知道福報的力量，一切眾生在任何時候，都應該廣泛地修習各種殊勝的善行。所以我先前說過的福報力量，我沒有見到有任何一種法，只要稍微修習就能獲得巨大的利益。 當時，各位比丘都產生了疑惑，一起對佛說：『世尊！那個福力王在過去世修了什麼善行，才感得這樣的果報，統治各個國家，擁有巨大的名聲，威德特別尊貴，享受天人的福報，所有需要的物品，只要一想，一切都如願以償，從天而降，出生時大地震動，空中降下寶物，降下獅子座，帝釋天奉上寶蓋，出現寶藏等等，這是怎麼回事呢？希望佛陀為我們開示。』 佛說：『各位比丘！福力王，在累世中積累修習福業，發願廣大，因緣力量聚合，必定會如願以償地獲得殊勝的福報。還有各位比丘！你們應當知道，一切眾生所作的善惡行為，都不是外在的因緣所能造成的，也不是地界、水界、火界、風界所能形成的，無論是善是惡，都隨著蘊、處、界而產生各種行為。』於是說了偈語： 『即使經過百千劫，所造的業因也不會壞滅，當因緣和合的時候，眾生就會隨之承受果報。』 『各位比丘！我回憶過去久遠世的時候，有佛出世，號為無能勝如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世間解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。那位佛在世間普遍地做了佛事之後，乃至最後在一個國家中進入無餘依大涅槃界，就像柴火燒盡，火焰熄滅一樣。而那個國王收集了他的舍利，建造寶塔，廣做供養。

English version: At that time, the Lord Śakra was now the Bhikṣu Maudgalyāyana. And that king who was about to die was the demon king. That poor man was now the Bhikṣu Rāhula. That good physician who received punishment was now the Bhikṣu Kauṇḍinya. Bhikṣus! Therefore, you should know the power of merit, and all sentient beings at all times should extensively cultivate all kinds of superior virtuous actions. Therefore, I said earlier about the power of merit, I have not seen any dharma that, if practiced even slightly, can obtain great benefits. At that time, all the Bhikṣus had doubts and together said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What virtuous actions did that King of Merit Power cultivate in past lives to receive such a reward, ruling over various countries, possessing great fame, being especially honored in virtue, enjoying the blessings of gods and humans, and having all his needs fulfilled as soon as he thought of them, descending from the sky, the earth shaking at his birth, treasures raining down from the sky, a lion throne descending, Śakra offering a canopy, and treasures appearing, etc.? How did this happen? We hope the Buddha will explain it to us.' The Buddha said: 'Bhikṣus! The King of Merit Power, in many lifetimes, accumulated and cultivated meritorious deeds, made great vows, and the power of causes and conditions gathered together, so he was destined to receive superior rewards as he wished. Also, Bhikṣus! You should know that all the actions of sentient beings are not caused by external conditions, nor are they formed by the earth element, water element, fire element, or wind element. Whether good or bad, all actions arise according to the aggregates, sense bases, and elements.' Then he spoke a verse: 'Even after hundreds of thousands of kalpas, the causes of karma will not be destroyed. When causes and conditions come together, sentient beings will receive the corresponding results.' 'Bhikṣus! I remember in the distant past, a Buddha appeared in the world, named Unsurpassed Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksaṃbuddha, Vidyācaraṇasaṃpanna, Sugata, Lokavid, Anuttara, Puruṣadamyasārathi, Śāstā Devamanuṣyāṇāṃ, Buddha, Bhagavān. That Buddha, after universally performing the Buddha's work in the world, finally entered the great Nirvāṇa realm without remainder in one country, like a fire extinguished when the firewood is burned out. And that king collected his relics, built a pagoda, and made extensive offerings.'

。其後諸苾芻眾，鳴于犍椎擊鼓發螺，普告大眾，時苾芻等無數百千人集會一處，彼大法師于吉祥日廣為諸人宣說法要。是時國中有一博戲者，名曰得勝，深著博弈戲玩等事，妻名廣勝，子亦同名。是人先積家財，以博戲故內外財物輸於他人，皆悉散蕩，唯存所著㲲衣二段並常持蓋革屣及五金錢。其人一時忽作是言：『我不造福，因受斯貧苦。』言已吁嘆，持如上物即出其舍，訪求博戲次第。行至說法之所，見大法師處師子座，人眾圍繞合掌聽法。是人睹斯勝相生清凈心，自念：『我今亦此聽法。』即以諸物置於一處，合掌諦誠聽受所說。時彼法師說伽陀曰：

「『人當修作諸福因，　　如彼所作勿間斷； 　　隨其樂欲施作時，　　由福藏故獲妙樂。』

「彼人聞是伽陀已，乃思其言：『由福藏故獲妙樂者，我往生中不造福因故受貧苦，我今宜應隨力施作少分福事。』即自惟忖：『我之家財悉已散蕩，而今但有隨身諸物。是中取五金錢及㲲一假若行施者，又慮貧劇致殞身命；若不佈施永壞福因，於他世中而無所託。我今以何方便能離貧苦存活身命，隨修福事不壞勝因？然我今者寧受饑貧必營福事，宜以金錢及㲲衣施

現代漢語譯本：之後，眾多的比丘們敲響犍椎，擊鼓，吹響海螺，普遍告知大眾。當時，無數百千的比丘們聚集在一處，那位大法師在吉祥的日子裡為眾人廣泛宣講佛法要義。當時，國中有一個賭徒，名叫得勝，他深深沉迷於賭博玩樂等事。他的妻子名叫廣勝，兒子也同名。這個人先前積攢了家財，因為賭博的緣故，內外財物都輸給了別人，全部散盡，只剩下身上穿的兩段毛氈衣服，以及常戴的帽子、皮鞋和五個銅錢。這個人一時忽然說道：『我不造福，所以才遭受這樣的貧困。』說完，他嘆息著，拿著上述物品就出了家門，尋找賭博的機會。他走到說法的地方，看見大法師坐在獅子座上，眾人圍繞著他合掌聽法。這個人看到這殊勝的景象，生起了清凈的心，心想：『我現在也在這裡聽法。』於是就把自己的東西放在一處，合掌誠心誠意地聽受所說的佛法。當時，那位法師說了一首偈子： 『人們應當修作各種福德的因，就像他們所做的那樣不要間斷；隨著他們樂意施作的時候，由於福德的積藏，就能獲得美妙的快樂。』 那個人聽了這首偈子后，就思考其中的含義：『由於福德的積藏就能獲得美妙的快樂，我往昔的生命中沒有造作福德的因，所以才遭受貧困的痛苦。我現在應該盡力施作少許的福德之事。』他隨即思量：『我的家財都已經散盡，而現在只有隨身的這些東西。如果從中拿出五個銅錢和一段毛氈去佈施，又擔心貧困到極點會喪失性命；如果不佈施，就會永遠斷絕福德的因，在來世中就沒有依靠。我現在用什麼方法才能既能擺脫貧困，又能保全性命，同時還能隨力修習福德之事，不破壞殊勝的因緣呢？然而，我現在寧願忍受飢餓貧困，也一定要經營福德之事，應該把銅錢和毛氈佈施出去。』

English version: After that, the assembly of monks sounded the ghanṭā, beat the drums, and blew the conch shells, universally announcing to the multitude. At that time, countless hundreds and thousands of monks gathered in one place, and that great Dharma master, on an auspicious day, widely expounded the essentials of the Dharma to the people. At that time, there was a gambler in the country named Desheng, who was deeply addicted to gambling and playing. His wife was named Guang Sheng, and his son had the same name. This person had previously accumulated family wealth, but due to gambling, his internal and external possessions were lost to others, all scattered, leaving only two pieces of felt clothing he was wearing, along with his usual hat, leather shoes, and five copper coins. This person suddenly said, 'I did not create merit, therefore I suffer such poverty.' Having said this, he sighed, took the aforementioned items, and left his house, seeking opportunities for gambling. He arrived at the place where the Dharma was being preached and saw the great Dharma master sitting on the lion throne, surrounded by people who were listening to the Dharma with their palms together. This person, seeing this auspicious sight, generated a pure mind and thought, 'I will also listen to the Dharma here now.' So he placed his belongings in one place, joined his palms, and sincerely listened to what was being said. At that time, the Dharma master spoke a gāthā: 'People should cultivate the causes of all merits, just as they do, without interruption; when they are willing to give and act, they will obtain wonderful joy because of the accumulation of merit.' After hearing this gāthā, that person pondered its meaning: 'Because of the accumulation of merit, one obtains wonderful joy. In my past lives, I did not create the causes of merit, therefore I suffer the pain of poverty. Now I should do my best to perform a small amount of meritorious deeds.' He then thought: 'My family wealth has all been scattered, and now I only have these things with me. If I take five copper coins and one piece of felt to give as alms, I worry that extreme poverty will lead to my death; if I do not give alms, I will forever cut off the cause of merit, and in future lives, I will have no support. What method can I use now to both escape poverty and preserve my life, while also cultivating meritorious deeds and not destroying the auspicious causes? However, I would rather endure hunger and poverty now and definitely engage in meritorious deeds. I should give away the copper coins and the felt clothing.'

。』作是念時，而彼法師又說伽陀曰：

「『善法應當速疾修，　　即能息除諸罪業； 　　如是宜修勝福因，　　一切罪業非所樂。』

「彼人復聞是伽陀已，審思其言『善法速修』，斯為決定，由是發起清凈施心，以所持蓋覆法師頂，取其革屣安師足下，散五金錢布于座側，舉㲲衣段被法師身。心大歡喜身毛皆豎，頂禮雙足益生凈信，發是愿言：『愿我以此為法佈施最上善根，此生已往，生生有大殊勝福力，具大名稱，受天人福，威德特尊統王諸國，若有所須應念即現，勝相出生獲無盡藏。』其發如是廣大愿已，時彼法師即為如應迴向功德。是時博戲者出離眾會，唯存一衣以覆其身，還復其舍。時妻及子見已驚異，念前所持諸物出外，應為博戲之所散蕩。妻故問言：『仁者！舍中但存我及於子，余無所有，豈非我等將亦壞邪？』彼人由是轉增逼迫受貧窮苦，自省斯緣，說伽陀曰：

「『世間何苦勝貧苦，　　而貧苦與死苦同； 　　寧當死苦尚甘心，　　彼貧窮苦不愛樂。』

「說是伽陀已，吁嘆而住

現代漢語譯本：當他這樣想的時候，那位法師又說了一首偈子： 『善行應當迅速修習，就能消除一切罪業； 應當修習殊勝的福德之因，一切罪業都不是我們所喜愛的。』 那個人聽了這首偈子后，仔細思考其中的『善行速修』，認為這是確定的道理，因此生起了清凈的佈施之心，用自己拿著的蓋子蓋在法師的頭上，把自己的鞋子放在法師的腳下，在座位旁邊散放了五枚金錢，把毛織的衣物披在法師身上。他心中非常歡喜，全身汗毛都豎了起來，頂禮法師的雙腳，更加生起了清凈的信心，發願說：『愿我以此作為法佈施最上等的善根，此生之後，生生世世都有殊勝的福力，具有大的名聲，享受天人的福報，威德特別尊貴，統治各個國家，如果有什麼需要，只要一想就能出現，出生時就具有殊勝的相貌，獲得無盡的寶藏。』他發了這樣廣大的願望后，當時那位法師就為他如理地迴向了功德。這時，那個賭博的人離開了聚會，只剩下一件衣服遮蓋身體，回到了家中。他的妻子和孩子看到後感到驚異，想到之前他拿著的那些東西出去，應該是在賭博中輸光了。妻子就問他說：『你啊！家裡只剩下我和孩子了，其他什麼都沒有了，難道我們也要遭殃了嗎？』那個人因此更加感到逼迫，承受貧窮的痛苦，自己反省其中的因緣，說了一首偈子： 『世間有什麼痛苦能勝過貧窮的痛苦呢，而貧窮的痛苦和死亡的痛苦一樣； 寧願承受死亡的痛苦還甘心，貧窮的痛苦實在是不喜歡。』 說完這首偈子，他嘆息著停了下來。

English version: As he thought this, that Dharma master then spoke a verse: 'Good deeds should be cultivated quickly, which can eliminate all karmic offenses; One should cultivate the cause of superior blessings, all karmic offenses are not desirable.' After hearing this verse, that person carefully considered the words 'good deeds should be cultivated quickly,' believing it to be a definite truth. Thus, he generated a pure mind of giving, using the cover he was holding to cover the Dharma master's head, placing his own shoes under the master's feet, scattering five gold coins beside the seat, and draping a woolen garment over the Dharma master's body. His heart was filled with great joy, his body hair stood on end, he bowed at the master's feet, and his pure faith grew even stronger. He made a vow, saying: 'May I, with this act of giving as the supreme root of good for the Dharma, in this life and in all future lives, have great and extraordinary blessings, possess great renown, enjoy the blessings of gods and humans, be especially honored in power and virtue, rule over all countries, and if there is anything needed, it will appear as soon as it is thought of, be born with auspicious marks, and obtain inexhaustible treasures.' After making such a vast vow, the Dharma master then appropriately dedicated the merit to him. At this time, the gambler left the gathering, with only one garment to cover his body, and returned home. His wife and children were astonished to see this, thinking that the things he had taken out earlier must have been lost in gambling. His wife then asked him: 'You! There is only me and the child left in the house, nothing else. Are we also going to suffer?' That person, because of this, felt even more pressured and suffered the pain of poverty. Reflecting on the cause of this, he spoke a verse: 'What suffering in the world is greater than the suffering of poverty, and the suffering of poverty is the same as the suffering of death; I would rather endure the suffering of death willingly, the suffering of poverty is truly undesirable.' After speaking this verse, he sighed and stopped.

。其後一時，彼妻持瓶詣井以汲，雖復下徹得水，其力不能出之；妻乃召夫令觀是事，其夫即時同力而舉，亦不能出；又呼其子，三人相與悍勇勞力方能小舉；怪而視之，乃見其下有五鐵甕，滿盛黃金聯接排置。夫先見已驚異思念，豈非先施今獲其果？熙怡瞻視，說伽陀曰：

「『奇哉功德現此處，　　一切過失悉蠲除； 　　今所得由先種生，　　施者果報知如是。』

「是時彼妻歡喜問言：『仁者！勝相如是，善語若斯，其故何邪？』夫為如應廣說其事。

「複次后時彼得勝博戲者，福力開發現獲斯果，由是展轉遍流聲譽，國中人民互相謂言：『奇哉希有殊特大福，忽然能獲大富自在。』彼人從是已後向佛法僧，倍勝於前極生凈信，日日于佛塔所廣大供養。復于正法聽受修習，又以上味飲食日供凈眾及余沙門、婆羅門、孤露乞人，亦復隨應供給所須悉令滿足。又復廣營精舍，令彼四方苾芻居止承事供養，由是名聞流佈城邑。其後彼國王忽命終無紹繼者，時諸臣佐親屬，審知是人有大福力具大名稱，共議勤請紹其王位。時博戲者即隱本名，人皆稱謂得勝大王

現代漢語譯本：過了一會兒，他的妻子拿著瓶子去井邊打水，雖然瓶子能下到井底取到水，但她卻無力將水提上來。妻子便叫來丈夫看這情況，丈夫立刻和她一起用力提，也提不上來。又叫來他們的兒子，三個人一起使勁用力，才勉強把瓶子提起來一點。他們感到奇怪，仔細一看，原來井下有五個鐵甕，裡面裝滿了黃金，彼此相連排列著。丈夫先看到后，既驚奇又思索，難道是以前的佈施現在得到了回報？他高興地看著，說了偈語： 『奇妙啊，功德竟然顯現在這裡，一切過失都消除了；今天所得的都是由先前的善因所生，佈施的果報就是這樣啊。』 這時，他的妻子高興地問道：『仁者！這殊勝的景像是這樣，這善妙的言語又是這樣，這是什麼緣故呢？』丈夫便如實地詳細地說了這件事。 後來，他又因為賭博獲勝，福德之力顯現，得到了這樣的果報。因此，他的名聲傳遍了全國，國中的人們互相說道：『真是奇特稀有，殊勝的大福啊，竟然能突然獲得如此大的財富和自在。』這個人從此以後對佛法僧的信仰，比以前更加堅定，每天都在佛塔前廣做供養。他又聽受修習正法，並且每天用上好的飲食供養僧眾以及其他的沙門、婆羅門、孤兒、乞丐，也按照他們的需要給予供給，使他們都得到滿足。他還廣泛地修建精舍，讓四方的比丘居住，承事供養，因此他的名聲傳遍了城邑。後來，國王突然去世，沒有繼承人，當時的大臣和親屬，知道這個人有大福德，具有很大的名聲，就共同商議，懇請他繼承王位。這時，這個賭博的人就隱去了原來的名字，人們都稱他為得勝大王。

English version: After a while, his wife took a bottle to the well to draw water. Although the bottle could reach the bottom and get water, she was unable to lift it up. The wife then called her husband to see what was happening. The husband immediately joined her in trying to lift it, but they couldn't. They then called their son, and the three of them together, with great effort, managed to lift the bottle up a little. They were surprised and looked closely, only to find that there were five iron urns at the bottom of the well, filled with gold, connected and arranged in a row. The husband, upon seeing this, was both astonished and thoughtful, wondering if this was the result of his past generosity. He looked on with joy and spoke a verse: 'How marvelous, merit manifests here, all faults are eliminated; what is obtained today is born from past good causes, the result of giving is known to be like this.' At this time, his wife happily asked, 'Kind sir! This auspicious sight is like this, and these virtuous words are like this, what is the reason?' The husband then truthfully and in detail explained the matter. Later, he also won in gambling, and the power of his merit manifested, and he received such a reward. Because of this, his reputation spread throughout the country, and the people in the country said to each other, 'How marvelous and rare, such great and special fortune, to suddenly obtain such great wealth and freedom.' From then on, this person's faith in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha was even stronger than before, and he made extensive offerings at the stupa every day. He also listened to and practiced the Dharma, and every day he used the best food to make offerings to the Sangha, as well as other shramanas, Brahmins, orphans, and beggars, and he also provided for their needs, ensuring they were all satisfied. He also extensively built monasteries, allowing monks from all directions to reside, serve, and make offerings, and thus his fame spread throughout the city. Later, the king suddenly passed away without an heir. The ministers and relatives, knowing that this person had great merit and a great reputation, discussed together and earnestly requested him to inherit the throne. At this time, the gambler concealed his original name, and people all called him King 'Victorious'.

「時得勝王現獲如是悅意果報，起猛利心，勝前佈施，作諸福事，修持戒行，其王普為臣佐、親屬、一切人民開發福因已，后趣命終即生他化自在天，為彼天王之子。生彼天時有諸上妙悅意珍寶，及眾衣飾自空而降，身有光明映彼天眾光明不現，彼天見已咸皆驚歎，希有勝福果報若斯。」

佛告諸苾芻言：「汝等當知，彼得勝王者豈異人乎？即先所說福力王是。彼時初為博戲之者，能發喜心愛樂聽法，竭其所有以施法師，故於現生獲勝果報，紹繼王位開發福因；由此因緣，二十六生為他化自在天王；三十六生為化樂天王；三十六生為兜率天王；三十六生為夜摩天王；三十六生為忉利天王；三十六生為四大王天主；無數百生為金輪王；正法統化於四天下，七寶具足：所謂輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、主藏神寶、主兵神寶，如是七寶隨意受用。復有千子，最上色相，勇健精進能伏他軍，極海邊際大地境界，悉無盜賊刀杖等怖，咸修正法安隱而住。」

爾時世尊，為諸苾芻說伽陀曰：

「大士如是諸勝因，　　多生得為勝主宰； 　由佛普攝於世間，　　此是諸佛之所說

現代漢語譯本：'當時得勝王獲得瞭如此令人愉悅的果報，生起了強烈的信心，比之前更加慷慨地佈施，做了各種善事，修行戒律。這位國王普遍地為臣子、親屬和所有人民開示了福德的因緣之後，壽命終結后就轉生到他化自在天，成為那裡的天王之子。當他出生在那個天界時，有各種上等的、令人愉悅的珍寶和眾多的衣飾從空中降落，他身上散發的光芒使得其他天眾的光芒都黯然失色。那些天人看到后都驚歎不已，感嘆如此稀有殊勝的福報。' '佛陀告訴各位比丘說：『你們應當知道，那位得勝王難道是別人嗎？他就是之前所說的福力王。他當時最初只是一個賭博的人，能夠生起歡喜心，喜愛聽聞佛法，竭盡所有來供養法師，因此在今生獲得了殊勝的果報，繼承了王位，開示了福德的因緣；由於這個因緣，他有二十六世轉生為他化自在天的天王；三十六世轉生為化樂天的天王；三十六世轉生為兜率天的天王；三十六世轉生為夜摩天的天王；三十六世轉生為忉利天的天王；三十六世轉生為四大王天的天主；無數百世轉生為金輪王，以正法統治四天下，七寶具足：即輪寶、象寶、馬寶、珠寶、女寶、主藏神寶、主兵神寶，這七寶可以隨意享用。他還有一千個兒子，都具有最上等的容貌，勇猛健壯，能夠降伏敵軍，整個大海邊際的大地疆域，都沒有盜賊和刀劍等恐怖，都奉行正法，安穩地居住。』' '當時，世尊為各位比丘說了偈頌：' '大士如此種種殊勝因，多生得為殊勝之主宰；由佛普遍攝受於世間，這是諸佛所宣說的。'

English version: 'At that time, King 'Victorious' obtained such a pleasing reward. He generated a strong faith, gave more generously than before, performed various meritorious deeds, and practiced the precepts. This king, having universally revealed the causes of merit to his ministers, relatives, and all the people, after his life ended, was reborn in the Paranirmitavasavartin heaven, becoming the son of the king of that heaven. When he was born in that heaven, various superior and pleasing treasures and numerous ornaments descended from the sky. The light emanating from his body caused the light of the other heavenly beings to dim. Upon seeing this, those heavenly beings were amazed and exclaimed at such a rare and extraordinary reward of merit.' 'The Buddha told the monks, 『You should know, is that King 'Victorious' someone else? He is the King 'Power of Merit' mentioned earlier. At that time, he was initially just a gambler, but he was able to generate a joyful mind, love to hear the Dharma, and give all that he had to the Dharma teacher. Therefore, in this life, he obtained a superior reward, inherited the throne, and revealed the causes of merit. Because of this cause, he was reborn as the king of the Paranirmitavasavartin heaven for twenty-six lives; as the king of the Nirmanarati heaven for thirty-six lives; as the king of the Tusita heaven for thirty-six lives; as the king of the Yama heaven for thirty-six lives; as the king of the Trayastrimsa heaven for thirty-six lives; as the lord of the Four Heavenly Kings for thirty-six lives; and as a golden wheel-turning king for countless hundreds of lives. He ruled the four continents with the righteous Dharma, possessing the seven treasures: the wheel treasure, the elephant treasure, the horse treasure, the jewel treasure, the woman treasure, the treasure of the minister of the treasury, and the treasure of the minister of the army. He could use these seven treasures at will. He also had a thousand sons, all with the most superior appearances, brave and vigorous, able to subdue enemy armies. The entire land to the edge of the great sea was free from thieves, weapons, and other fears. They all practiced the righteous Dharma and lived in peace.』' 'At that time, the World Honored One spoke the following verses for the monks:' 'Such are the superior causes of a great being, in many lives he becomes a superior ruler; because the Buddha universally embraces the world, this is what all the Buddhas have proclaimed.'

。 　若得聞是希有事，　　及此神通廣大緣， 　造黑業者尚信生，　　誰諸智者不開覺？ 　是故如是大希有，　　大威德者隨所求； 　應當尊重正法門，　　復常思念諸佛教。」

佛告諸苾芻：「如我所說，汝等應當如是修學，是故常勤愛樂正法，尊重恭敬信奉供養，如是作已為所依止，如是學者得大利益。」

佛說此經已，諸苾芻等聞佛所說，皆大歡喜，信受奉行

現代漢語譯本：如果能夠聽聞這樣稀有的事情，以及這種神通廣大的因緣，即使是造作惡業的人也會因此生起信心，那麼哪位有智慧的人不會因此開悟覺醒呢？所以，像這樣的大稀有事，具有大威德的人能夠隨其所求而滿足；我們應當尊重正法之門，並且常常思念諸佛的教誨。 佛陀告訴各位比丘：『正如我所說的，你們應當這樣修學，所以要常常勤勉地愛樂正法，尊重、恭敬、信奉、供養它，這樣做了之後才能有所依止，像這樣學習的人才能獲得大利益。』 佛陀說完這部經后，各位比丘聽聞佛陀所說，都非常歡喜，信受奉行。

English version: If one can hear of such rare events, and the great karmic connections of such spiritual powers, even those who have committed dark deeds will develop faith. Who among the wise would not awaken to enlightenment? Therefore, such great rarities, those with great virtue can fulfill whatever they seek; we should respect the gate of the true Dharma, and constantly contemplate the teachings of all Buddhas. The Buddha told the monks, 'As I have said, you should practice in this way. Therefore, you should always diligently love the true Dharma, respect, revere, believe in, and make offerings to it. By doing so, you will have a foundation to rely on, and those who learn in this way will gain great benefits.' After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, all the monks, having heard what the Buddha said, were greatly delighted, and accepted and practiced it.
