《異出菩薩本起經》一卷

釋迦文佛，前世宿命為人時，在夫婁多摩國，世世代代行善，經過無數世才得以成佛。

佛為菩薩時，名叫摩納，住在山中，身穿鹿皮衣。

當時他進入一座城市，城名叫缽摩訶，國王名叫耆耶。菩薩看到城中人們匆匆忙忙，就問路上的行人說：『今天城裡，為什麼這麼匆忙？』行人回答說：『今天佛要來了！』

菩薩聽到佛要來，內心非常高興，心裡說：『今天見到佛來，我要向佛求我心中所希望的。』

一會兒，有一個女人，名叫俱夷，拿著盛水的瓶子，還有七朵花，花名叫優缽。

菩薩追上去叫住她說：『大姐請留步！』俱夷就停下來等他。菩薩說：『請把夫人手中的優缽花給我。』俱夷說：『今天佛要來了，大王在浴室裡，我正要用花獻給大王，花不能給你！』菩薩說：『我用一百錢買你的花。』俱夷說：『花不能給你！』菩薩說：『你可以自己再去採。』俱夷說：『不行！』菩薩又說：『我用五百錢買你的花。』俱夷心裡想：『這花才值兩三錢，現在竟然出五百錢買。』就給了菩薩五朵優缽花，自己留了兩朵。

菩薩從懷裡拿出帶的錢，正好有五百，全部給了她，各自離開了。

俱夷心裡想：『這個道人，穿著鹿皮衣，竟然有五百銀錢，全部用來買花，懷疑他不是普通人啊。』

English version Taisho Tripitaka Volume 03, No. 0188, The Sutra of the Different Origins of the Bodhisattva

The Sutra of the Different Origins of the Bodhisattva, one scroll

Translated by Layman Nie Daozhen of the Western Jin Dynasty

When Shakyamuni Buddha was a human in his past life, he was in the country of Fuluoduo, and he did good deeds in every life. After countless lives, he finally became a Buddha.

When the Buddha was a Bodhisattva, he was named Mana, and he lived in the mountains, wearing deerskin clothes.

At that time, he entered a city named Bomohe, and the king was named Qiye. The Bodhisattva saw people in the city hurrying, so he asked a passerby on the road, 'Why is everyone in the city so hurried today?' The passerby replied, 'The Buddha is coming today!'

When the Bodhisattva heard that the Buddha was coming, he was very happy in his heart and thought, 'Today when I see the Buddha coming, I will ask the Buddha for what I desire in my heart.'

After a while, there was a woman named Juyi, holding a water bottle and seven flowers, called Utpala.

The Bodhisattva followed and called out to her, 'Elder sister, please stop!' Juyi stopped and waited for him. The Bodhisattva said, 'Please give me the Utpala flowers in your hand.' Juyi said, 'Today the Buddha is coming, the king is in the bathhouse, and I am going to offer the flowers to the king, so I cannot give them to you!' The Bodhisattva said, 'I will buy your flowers for one hundred coins.' Juyi said, 'I cannot give you the flowers!' The Bodhisattva said, 'You can go and pick more yourself.' Juyi said, 'I cannot!' The Bodhisattva said again, 'I will buy your flowers for five hundred coins.' Juyi thought to herself, 'These flowers are only worth two or three coins, but now he is offering five hundred coins to buy them.' So she gave the Bodhisattva five Utpala flowers and kept two for herself.

The Bodhisattva took out the money he was carrying, which happened to be five hundred, and gave it all to her. Then they each went their own way.

Juyi thought to herself, 'This Taoist, wearing deerskin clothes, actually had five hundred silver coins, and he used them all to buy flowers. I suspect he is not an ordinary person.'

。」即隨而呼之曰：「男子，男子！且止！」菩薩即止待之。俱夷曰：「卿以誠告我，我以華與卿；不者，我奪卿華去。」菩薩言：「我買華，從百錢上至五百，何故奪我華？」俱夷曰：「此華王家華，我力勢能奪卿。」

菩薩即以誠告之：「我聞佛今日當來到，欲以華上之，從佛求心中所欲愿者。」俱夷曰：「大善！愿我後生，為卿作婦，卿後生好惡者，我當爲卿作婦，必置我心，令佛知之。」菩薩曰：「可！」便以手中華二枚，與菩薩令上佛。俱夷言：「婦人不能得前，愿以華累卿。」菩薩便受之，各自別去。

須臾佛來到，國王以下至萬民，皆以百種雜華，散佛頭上，華皆墮地。

菩薩持華五枚，散佛頭上，華皆留止，上向成行，如根生不墮地；菩薩持俱夷華，散佛頭上，華復留止，上向成行，在兩肩不墮地，佛知菩薩至心。

佛言：「令汝得心中所欲愿者，卻後九十劫，劫名拔羅，汝當爲釋迦文佛。」菩薩聞佛語，心中大歡喜，即布發令佛足蹈之，故立於佛前踴躍，佛以神接之，即去地四丈九尺，無所播持，從上來下。

佛復言：「令汝後世得道度世，亦當如我作佛

於是就喊道：『男子，男子！請停下！』菩薩就停下來等他。俱夷說：『你誠實地告訴我，我就把花給你；不然，我就搶走你的花。』菩薩說：『我買花，從一百錢到五百錢，為什麼要搶我的花？』俱夷說：『這花是王家的花，我憑勢力就能搶你的。』 菩薩就誠實地告訴他：『我聽說佛今天會來到，想用花獻給他，向佛求心中所希望的願望。』俱夷說：『太好了！我願來世，做你的妻子，你來世無論好壞，我都做你的妻子，一定要把我的心意告訴佛，讓佛知道。』菩薩說：『可以！』就用手中的兩朵花，給菩薩讓他獻給佛。俱夷說：『婦人不能到前面去，希望把花托付給你。』菩薩就接受了，各自告別離去。 一會兒佛來了，國王以下到萬民，都用各種各樣的花，散在佛的頭上，花都掉在地上。 菩薩拿著五朵花，散在佛的頭上，花都停留在空中，向上排列成行，像生了根一樣不掉在地上；菩薩拿著俱夷的花，散在佛的頭上，花也停留在空中，向上排列成行，在兩肩不掉在地上，佛知道菩薩的真心。 佛說：『讓你得到心中所希望的願望，過九十劫后，劫名為拔羅，你將成為釋迦文佛。』菩薩聽到佛的話，心中非常歡喜，就鋪開頭髮讓佛踩在上面，所以在佛前跳躍，佛用神力接住他，就離開地面四丈九尺，沒有依靠，從上面下來。 佛又說：『讓你後世得道度世，也應當像我一樣成佛。』

Then he called out, 『Man, man! Please stop!』 The Bodhisattva stopped and waited for him. Kujiyi said, 『If you tell me the truth, I will give you the flowers; otherwise, I will take your flowers away.』 The Bodhisattva said, 『I bought the flowers, from one hundred coins to five hundred coins, why do you want to take my flowers?』 Kujiyi said, 『These flowers are the royal family's flowers, I have the power to take them from you.』 The Bodhisattva then truthfully told him, 『I heard that the Buddha will come today, and I want to offer the flowers to him, to ask the Buddha for the desires in my heart.』 Kujiyi said, 『Great! I wish in my next life to be your wife, and in your next life, whether you are good or bad, I will be your wife. I must let the Buddha know my heart.』 The Bodhisattva said, 『Okay!』 Then he took two flowers from his hand and gave them to the Bodhisattva to offer to the Buddha. Kujiyi said, 『Women cannot go to the front, I hope to entrust the flowers to you.』 The Bodhisattva accepted them, and they parted ways. Soon the Buddha arrived, and from the king down to the common people, all scattered various kinds of flowers on the Buddha's head, and the flowers all fell to the ground. The Bodhisattva held five flowers and scattered them on the Buddha's head, and the flowers all remained in the air, arranged in rows upwards, as if they had taken root and did not fall to the ground; the Bodhisattva held Kujiyi's flowers and scattered them on the Buddha's head, and the flowers also remained in the air, arranged in rows upwards, on both shoulders without falling to the ground. The Buddha knew the Bodhisattva's sincerity. The Buddha said, 『Let your heart's desires be fulfilled. After ninety kalpas, the kalpa will be named Balo, and you will become Sakyamuni Buddha.』 The Bodhisattva heard the Buddha's words and was very happy in his heart. He then spread out his hair for the Buddha to step on, and so he leaped in front of the Buddha. The Buddha used his divine power to catch him, and he rose four zhang and nine chi from the ground, without any support, and came down from above. The Buddha also said, 『Let you attain enlightenment and save the world in your next life, and you shall also become a Buddha like me.』

。」

是時佛者先世佛，號曰題和竭羅佛！

佛般泥洹去，菩薩還入山中，壽終以後，即上生第二忉利天上，諸天皆共護視；天上壽盡，即復來下生鳩夷那竭國，為飛行皇帝，主四天下；壽終即覆上生第二忉利天上，作帝釋。如是終而復始，凡三十六為天帝釋，八萬四千世為飛行皇帝。

如是壽終以後，即上生第四兜率天上，即復下生迦維羅衛國。迦維羅衛國者，天地之中央也；佛生者，不可邊土余國，地為之傾側。

迦維羅衛國王，為人仁賢，即下入王夫人腹中，但有不凈故，無所附近。

左右群臣，及鄰國請可屬迦維羅衛國者，聞王夫人有娠，皆來賀大王，前為夫人作禮。

太子從腹中見外人，如蒙羅縠中視見外人；外人作禮，太子于腹中，以手攘之。所以攘之者何？不欲煩擾天下人也。

夫人懷抱太子時，天上諸神，日持天上飯食，來置夫人前，夫人不知飯食所從來？不能復食王家飯食，王家飯食，苦且辛。

太子以四月八日夜半時生，從母右脅生墮地，行七步之中，舉足高四寸，足不蹈地，即復舉右手言：「天上天下，尊無過我者！」

四天王即來下作禮，抱持太子，置黃金機上，和湯浴形，王與夫人、左右皆驚

當時，這位佛陀是前世的佛，名號叫做題和竭羅佛！ 佛陀涅槃后，菩薩回到山中，壽命終結后，就上升到第二忉利天，眾天神都共同守護他；天上的壽命結束后，又再次下生到鳩夷那竭國，成為飛行皇帝，統治四天下；壽命終結后又再次上升到第二忉利天，成為帝釋。這樣循環往復，總共三十六次成為天帝釋，八萬四千世成為飛行皇帝。 這樣壽命終結后，就上升到第四兜率天，然後又下生到迦維羅衛國。迦維羅衛國是天地的中心；佛陀降生的地方，不能是邊遠的其他國家，那樣會使大地傾斜。 迦維羅衛國王為人仁慈賢明，於是（菩薩）就進入王夫人的腹中，因為（菩薩）是清凈的，所以不與不凈之物接近。 左右大臣，以及鄰國中可以歸屬迦維羅衛國的，聽說王夫人懷孕，都來祝賀大王，並向夫人行禮。 太子在腹中看到外面的人，就像隔著薄紗看到外面的人一樣；外面的人行禮，太子在腹中，用手推開他們。之所以推開他們，是因為不想打擾天下人。 夫人懷抱太子時，天上的諸神，每天拿著天上的食物，放在夫人面前，夫人不知道食物從哪裡來？不能再吃王家的飯食，王家的飯食，又苦又辣。 太子在四月八日半夜時出生，從母親的右脅出生落地，走了七步，抬腳高四寸，腳不踩地，然後舉起右手說：『天上天下，最尊貴的就是我！』 四天王立刻下來行禮，抱起太子，放在黃金的座位上，用溫水洗浴身體，國王和夫人、左右侍從都感到驚訝。

At that time, this Buddha was a previous Buddha, named Tíhéjiélúo Buddha! After the Buddha's Nirvana, the Bodhisattva returned to the mountains. After his life ended, he ascended to the second Trayastrimsha Heaven, where all the gods protected him. When his life in heaven ended, he descended again to the country of Kushi-nagara, becoming a flying emperor, ruling the four continents. After his life ended, he ascended again to the second Trayastrimsha Heaven, becoming Indra. This cycle repeated, for a total of thirty-six times as Indra and eighty-four thousand lifetimes as a flying emperor. After his life ended in this way, he ascended to the fourth Tushita Heaven, and then descended to the country of Kapilavastu. The country of Kapilavastu is the center of heaven and earth; the place where the Buddha is born cannot be a remote or other country, as that would cause the earth to tilt. The king of Kapilavastu was benevolent and virtuous, so (the Bodhisattva) entered the womb of the king's wife. Because (the Bodhisattva) was pure, he did not come into contact with impure things. The ministers and neighboring countries that could be affiliated with Kapilavastu, upon hearing that the king's wife was pregnant, all came to congratulate the king and pay respects to the queen. The prince, from within the womb, saw the people outside as if seeing them through a thin veil. When the people outside paid their respects, the prince, from within the womb, pushed them away with his hand. The reason for pushing them away was that he did not want to disturb the people of the world. When the queen was carrying the prince, the gods in heaven would bring heavenly food every day and place it before her. The queen did not know where the food came from. She could no longer eat the royal family's food, which was bitter and spicy. The prince was born at midnight on the eighth day of the fourth month, emerging from his mother's right side. He took seven steps, lifting his feet four inches high, without touching the ground. Then he raised his right hand and said, 'Above and below the heavens, I am the most honored!' The Four Heavenly Kings immediately descended to pay their respects, picked up the prince, placed him on a golden seat, and bathed him with warm water. The king, the queen, and the attendants were all amazed.

。

太子生時，上至三十三天下至十六泥犁，傍行八極，萬二千天地，皆為大明，天地為之振動，乃下為兒。其乳母，以㲲布囊授其母，即亦自乳養，名為悉達。悉達生身，有三十二相。

明日，王與夫人議：「吾子生不與人同，國中有大道人，年百餘歲，大工相人，字為阿夷，寧可俱行相太子。」夫人曰：「大善！」

王與夫人，共行到道人所，王以黃金一囊，白銀一囊，以上道人，道人不受金銀，即開㲲布而視之。

太子有三十二相，神光表現，道人即垂泣而悲。

王夫人問：「道人！吾子將有何不善耶？王今日故相太子，欲知善惡，何以故悲泣？」

道人曰：「昨日天地振動，正為太子！我傷年老，今我當去世，恨不待此人，恨不聞是人經戒，以故悲泣。」

王聞道人所言，即為太子，選擇國中名倡妓，得四千人，令千人一番歌樂，晝夜不休息。

又欲宿衛太子，王深知道人工相人，王即為太子，更治宮室門戶垣墻，皆令完堅，若欲開之，持門戶者，其聲當聞四十里中。

太子生時，殿中有倉頭亦生，有一白馬亦生，倉頭名車匿，馬名曰鞬德，王令倉頭侍太子馬，為太子養護，當乘騎之。

太子生七日，其母終矣

太子出生時，上至三十三天，下至十六泥犁，周圍八方，一萬二千個天地，都變得光明，天地為之震動，於是降生為嬰兒。他的乳母用毛布袋將他交給他的母親，他母親就親自哺乳養育，給他取名為悉達。悉達出生時，身上有三十二種殊勝的相貌。 第二天，國王和王后商議說：『我的兒子出生時與常人不同，國內有一位得道高人，年紀一百多歲，擅長給人看相，名字叫阿夷，不如一起去請他給太子看相。』王后說：『很好！』 國王和王后一同來到道人住的地方，國王拿出黃金一袋、白銀一袋，送給道人，道人沒有接受金銀，就打開毛布袋看了看。 太子有三十二種殊勝的相貌，神光顯現，道人隨即流淚悲傷。 國王和王后問：『道人！我的兒子將有什麼不好的嗎？我們今天特意請您給太子看相，想知道他的吉兇，您為什麼悲傷哭泣呢？』 道人說：『昨天天地震動，正是爲了太子！我傷心自己年老，現在就要去世了，遺憾不能等到這個人，遺憾不能聽到這個人講經說法，所以才悲傷哭泣。』 國王聽了道人的話，就為太子挑選了國內有名的歌舞伎，選了四千人，讓一千人輪流歌舞，日夜不停。 又爲了保護太子，國王深知道人擅長看相，就為太子重新修建宮室，門戶墻垣都修得堅固，如果想要打開，守門的人發出的聲音能傳到四十里外。 太子出生時，宮殿里有一個僕人也出生了，還有一匹白馬也出生了，僕人名叫車匿，馬名叫鞬德，國王讓車匿侍奉太子的馬，為太子飼養照料，供太子騎乘。 太子出生七天後，他的母親就去世了。

When the prince was born, the thirty-three heavens above and the sixteen hells below, the eight directions around, and the twelve thousand worlds all became bright, and the heavens and earth shook. Thus, he was born as a child. His wet nurse handed him to his mother in a woolen cloth bag, and his mother then breastfed and raised him herself, naming him Siddhartha. Siddhartha was born with thirty-two extraordinary marks on his body. The next day, the king and queen discussed, 'My son's birth is different from others. There is a great Taoist master in the country, over a hundred years old, who is skilled in physiognomy, named Ayi. Why don't we go together and have him examine the prince?' The queen said, 'Excellent!' The king and queen went together to the Taoist master's place. The king offered a bag of gold and a bag of silver to the Taoist master, but the Taoist master did not accept the gold and silver. He then opened the woolen cloth bag and looked at the prince. The prince had thirty-two extraordinary marks, and divine light was manifested. The Taoist master immediately wept with sorrow. The king and queen asked, 'Taoist master! Will there be anything bad for my son? We have come today specifically to have you examine the prince, wanting to know his good and bad fortune. Why are you weeping with sorrow?' The Taoist master said, 'Yesterday, the heavens and earth shook, precisely for the prince! I am saddened by my old age, and that I am about to pass away. I regret not being able to wait for this person, and regret not being able to hear this person's teachings, which is why I weep with sorrow.' Upon hearing the Taoist master's words, the king selected famous singers and dancers from the country for the prince, choosing four thousand people. He had a thousand people perform in shifts, singing and dancing day and night without rest. Also, to protect the prince, the king, knowing the Taoist master's skill in physiognomy, had the palace, gates, and walls rebuilt for the prince, making them all strong and sturdy. If one wanted to open them, the sound of the gatekeepers would be heard forty miles away. When the prince was born, a servant in the palace was also born, and a white horse was also born. The servant was named Cheni, and the horse was named Jian De. The king ordered Cheni to serve the prince's horse, to care for it, and for the prince to ride it. Seven days after the prince was born, his mother passed away.

太子年十歲，前白大王：「為王太子，未曾出遊。」王曰：「大善！」即令左右百官，隨太子行遊。

太子乘車，出東城門，第二忉利天王釋，即化作病疾人在前，腹大身腫，肌肉盡索，著壁而息。

太子問其馭者：「是何等人？」馭者對曰：「是病疾人。」太子曰：「何如為病疾人？」馭者對曰：「是人宿命為惡，今生為人，食飲不節，臥起無常，中得為病。」太子曰：「吾國王之子！飲食不節，臥起無常，當復得是病？」馭者曰：「人皆當得是。」

太子即回車而還，愁憂不樂，念：「天下人悉當病，今我當復病，不復飲食。」

大王悔令太子出遊，復閉宮門，不復使出，還作倡妓樂之，太子甫愁憂益劇，不能飲食，至后稍稍差。

複數年所，太子復報大王：「今在宮中閉日久，思樂復一出遊。」

大王不忍逆太子意，復可之，豫令國中：「太子當出，勿令病人諸不凈潔在道傍。」皆敕令太子復乘車出南城門。

天王釋，復化作熱病人，頭面不理，屎尿相涂，還自臥其上，命在呼吸。

太子問馭者：「是何等人？」馭者對曰：「是人宿命為惡，不肯自克，飲食不節，臥起無常，中得是病，命在須臾

太子十歲時，曾對大王說：『身為王太子，還未曾出遊。』大王說：『很好！』就命令左右百官，跟隨太子出行遊玩。 太子乘坐馬車，出東城門，第二忉利天王釋提桓因，就化作一個生病的人在前面，肚子很大，身體腫脹，肌肉都萎縮了，靠著墻壁休息。 太子問他的馭者：『這是什麼人？』馭者回答說：『這是生病的人。』太子問：『為什麼會生病呢？』馭者回答說：『這個人前世作惡，今生為人，飲食不節制，作息不規律，所以得了病。』太子說：『我身為國王的兒子！如果飲食不節制，作息不規律，也會得這種病嗎？』馭者說：『人都會得這種病。』 太子立刻調轉車頭返回，憂愁不樂，心想：『天下的人都會生病，現在我也會生病，我不再吃飯了。』 大王后悔讓太子出遊，又關閉宮門，不再讓他出去，又安排歌舞伎樂來娛樂他，太子反而更加憂愁，不能吃飯，過了很久才稍微好轉。 過了幾年，太子又稟告大王：『現在在宮中閉門不出很久了，想再出去遊玩一次。』 大王不忍心違背太子的意願，又答應了他，預先命令國內：『太子要出行，不要讓病人或不乾淨的東西出現在道路兩旁。』都命令太子再次乘坐馬車出南城門。 天王釋提桓因，又化作一個發熱的病人，頭髮和臉都亂糟糟的，身上塗滿了屎尿，還躺在上面，生命垂危。 太子問馭者：『這是什麼人？』馭者回答說：『這個人前世作惡，不肯自我約束，飲食不節制，作息不規律，所以得了這種病，生命危在旦夕。』

When the crown prince was ten years old, he said to the Great King, 'As the crown prince, I have never gone out for a tour.' The King said, 'Excellent!' He immediately ordered the officials to accompany the crown prince on a tour. The crown prince rode in a carriage and went out of the east city gate. The second Heaven King, Shakra, immediately transformed into a sick person in front of him, with a large belly, swollen body, and withered muscles, leaning against the wall to rest. The crown prince asked his charioteer, 'Who is this person?' The charioteer replied, 'This is a sick person.' The crown prince asked, 'Why is he sick?' The charioteer replied, 'This person did evil in his past life. In this life, he is a human who does not control his diet and has irregular sleep patterns, so he became sick.' The crown prince said, 'I am the son of the king! If I do not control my diet and have irregular sleep patterns, will I also get this disease?' The charioteer said, 'Everyone will get this disease.' The crown prince immediately turned the carriage around and returned, feeling worried and unhappy, thinking, 'Everyone in the world will get sick, and now I will also get sick. I will not eat anymore.' The Great King regretted letting the crown prince go out for a tour. He closed the palace gates again and did not let him go out. He also arranged for singers and dancers to entertain him. The crown prince became even more worried and could not eat. After a long time, he gradually recovered. After several years, the crown prince again reported to the Great King, 'Now I have been confined in the palace for a long time. I would like to go out for a tour again.' The Great King could not bear to go against the crown prince's wishes and agreed. He ordered the country in advance, 'When the crown prince goes out, do not let sick people or unclean things appear on the sides of the road.' He ordered the crown prince to ride in a carriage again and go out of the south city gate. Heaven King Shakra transformed again into a feverish patient, with disheveled hair and face, covered in feces and urine, lying on it, his life hanging by a thread. The crown prince asked the charioteer, 'Who is this person?' The charioteer replied, 'This person did evil in his past life, did not restrain himself, did not control his diet, and had irregular sleep patterns, so he got this disease, and his life is in danger.'

。」太子曰：「吾亦飲食不節，臥起無常，當得此病？」馭者曰：「人皆當病。」

太子即復回車而還，太子復愁憂，不肯飲食。大王曰：「傍臣左右，故先敕令國中，勿令病人諸不凈潔者當太子，何故令病人見太子？」后為作倡妓樂太子，太子愁不解，不以樂為樂，后稍差。

稍差后，複數年所，太子復報大王：「閉其宮中不樂，復欲出遊。」王曰：「汝一出來，還常愁憂不樂，不欲復飲食，何為復出游耶？」太子曰：「我不復爾。」

王復令國中：「太子欲出遊，勿令病人諸不凈潔當道見。」太子乘車，出西城門。

天王釋，復化作一老人，羸瘦背傴，拄杖而行。

太子問馭者：「是何等人？」馭者曰：「是老人。」太子曰：「何如為老人？」馭者曰：「人生地上，從年一至竟，壽命欲盡，氣力衰微，飲食不能，故曰老人。」太子曰：「吾亦當復老耶？」馭者曰：「人生皆當老。」太子曰：「回車而還，吾亦不久居世間。」便復大憂：「人皆當復老衰微，飲食消盡，當終亡，我何為久於世間？」不肯復飲食，愁憂低頭。

大王復誘恤諫曉：「我獨有汝一子耳，當持國付汝，奈何一出，還輒愁憂，不肯飲食。」王大為作樂樂之，后復稍稍解

現代漢語譯本：太子說：『我也是飲食不節制，作息不規律，難道也會得這種病嗎？』駕車的人說：『人都會生病的。』 太子聽后就調轉車頭回宮了，太子又開始憂愁，不肯吃飯。大王說：『我身邊的侍臣，我早就命令過國內，不要讓生病和不乾淨的人靠近太子，為什麼還讓病人見到太子？』後來為太子安排了歌舞表演，太子還是不開心，不覺得快樂，之後稍微好了一些。 稍微好轉后，過了幾年，太子又告訴大王：『待在宮裡不快樂，又想出去遊玩。』大王說：『你一出去，回來就總是憂愁不樂，不想吃飯，為什麼還要出去遊玩呢？』太子說：『我不會再那樣了。』 大王又命令國內：『太子要出去遊玩，不要讓生病和不乾淨的人在路上被他看到。』太子乘車，從西城門出去。 天王釋迦，又化作一個老人，瘦弱駝背，拄著枴杖行走。 太子問駕車的人：『這是什麼人？』駕車的人說：『是老人。』太子說：『為什麼叫老人？』駕車的人說：『人生在世，從一歲到終老，壽命將盡，氣力衰弱，吃不下飯，所以叫老人。』太子說：『我也會變老嗎？』駕車的人說：『人都會變老的。』太子說：『調轉車頭回去，我也活不了多久了。』於是又開始大為憂愁：『人都會變老衰弱，吃不下飯，最終會死亡，我為什麼還要長久活在世上？』又不肯吃飯，憂愁地低著頭。 大王又勸慰開導：『我只有你一個兒子，將來要把國家交給你，為什麼你一出去，回來就總是憂愁，不肯吃飯。』大王大辦宴樂來讓他高興，之後太子又漸漸地解開了心結。

English version: The prince said, 'I also eat and drink without moderation, and my sleeping and waking habits are irregular. Could I also get this disease?' The driver said, 'Everyone gets sick.' Upon hearing this, the prince immediately turned the chariot around and returned to the palace. The prince became worried again and refused to eat. The king said, 'My attendants, I had already ordered the country not to let sick or unclean people approach the prince. Why did you let a sick person see the prince?' Later, they arranged singing and dancing for the prince, but he was still unhappy and did not find it enjoyable. After a while, he felt a little better. After getting a little better, several years passed, and the prince told the king again, 'Staying in the palace is not enjoyable, and I want to go out for a tour again.' The king said, 'Every time you go out, you come back worried and unhappy, and you don't want to eat. Why do you want to go out again?' The prince said, 'I won't be like that again.' The king then ordered the country, 'The prince wants to go out for a tour, do not let sick or unclean people be seen on the road.' The prince rode in his chariot and went out through the west gate. The Heavenly King Sakra transformed himself into an old man, thin and hunched over, walking with a cane. The prince asked the driver, 'Who is that person?' The driver said, 'That is an old man.' The prince said, 'Why is he called an old man?' The driver said, 'People are born on earth, and from the age of one until the end, their lifespan is about to end, their strength is weak, and they cannot eat, so they are called old men.' The prince said, 'Will I also become old?' The driver said, 'Everyone becomes old.' The prince said, 'Turn the chariot around and go back, I will not live long either.' Then he became very worried again, 'Everyone will become old and weak, unable to eat, and eventually die. Why should I live long in this world?' He refused to eat again, and lowered his head in worry. The king again comforted and advised him, 'I only have you as my son, and I will hand over the country to you in the future. Why do you always worry and refuse to eat after going out?' The king held a grand feast to make him happy, and after that, the prince gradually resolved his worries.

如是久久后，復報王：「我欲出遊。」王答言：「汝一出來，還輒愁憂不樂，不肯飲食，發痟瘦，從死還，何為復欲出遊？」太子曰：「我年長大當老。」

王復遣出北城門，天王釋，復化作喪車，中外男女，持幡啼哭，隨車而送之。太子問其馭者：「是何等人聲？」馭者曰：「是哭聲。」太子曰：「何如為哭聲？」馭者曰：「有人死者。」

太子曰：「何如為死？」馭者曰：「人生地上，懸命在天，壽有長短，故曰死；死者無所復知，身體皆消盡，終無有期，家室哀痛，隨而送之。」太子曰：「吾亦當死耶？」馭者曰：「人皆當歸死。」太子曰：「吾不能久居天地之間，吾當復是死。」遂回車而還。

王問馭者：「太子還何以疾？」左右白言：「太子出遊，道見喪車，心為不樂，故還疾。」王曰：「吾亦不欲令太子出遊。」

太子年二十，王欲為太子娶婦。太子曰：「我不娶婦。」

王為太子，閱一國中女，得數十萬女，令太子目閱視之訖，無有可太子意者，最後一女，名曰俱夷，太子曰：「吾欲娶是女。」王即為太子娶之。

為太子娶婦，是女平生可持華賣與菩薩者，宿命時，字俱夷，今生續字俱夷

這樣過了很久之後，太子又稟告國王說：『我想要出去遊玩。』國王回答說：『你一出去，就總是愁眉苦臉，不高興，不肯吃飯，變得消瘦，從死亡邊緣回來，為什麼又要出去遊玩呢？』太子說：『我年紀大了，終將衰老。』 國王又派人帶太子從北城門出去，天王釋提桓因又化作喪車，城裡城外的男女，拿著幡旗哭泣，跟在車後送葬。太子問他的車伕：『這是什麼人的聲音？』車伕說：『是哭聲。』太子說：『為什麼會有哭聲？』車伕說：『有人死了。』 太子說：『什麼是死？』車伕說：『人生在世，性命懸于上天，壽命有長有短，所以說死；死後就什麼都不知道了，身體都會消散殆盡，最終沒有期限，家人悲痛，跟隨送葬。』太子說：『我也會死嗎？』車伕說：『人最終都會歸於死亡。』太子說：『我不能長久地活在天地之間，我終將也會死去。』於是就調轉車頭回去了。 國王問車伕：『太子回來為什麼這麼快？』左右的人稟告說：『太子出去遊玩，在路上看見喪車，心裡不高興，所以很快就回來了。』國王說：『我也不想讓太子出去遊玩了。』 太子二十歲的時候，國王想給太子娶妻。太子說：『我不娶妻。』 國王爲了太子，在全國挑選女子，選了幾十萬女子，讓太子一一過目，沒有一個能讓太子滿意的，最後有一個女子，名叫俱夷，太子說：『我想娶這個女子。』國王就為太子娶了她。 為太子娶的這個妻子，是她前世可以拿著花賣給菩薩的人，前世的名字叫俱夷，今生繼續叫俱夷。

After a long time, the prince again reported to the king, 'I wish to go out for a stroll.' The king replied, 'Every time you go out, you always become worried and unhappy, refusing to eat, becoming emaciated, and returning from the brink of death. Why do you want to go out again?' The prince said, 'I am growing older and will eventually age.' The king again sent someone to take the prince out through the north gate. The heavenly king Sakra transformed himself into a funeral carriage. Men and women from inside and outside the city, holding banners and weeping, followed the carriage in mourning. The prince asked his charioteer, 'What are those sounds?' The charioteer said, 'They are cries of mourning.' The prince asked, 'Why are there cries of mourning?' The charioteer said, 'Someone has died.' The prince asked, 'What is death?' The charioteer said, 'People live on earth, their lives hanging by a thread from heaven. Lifespans are long or short, hence the term death. After death, one knows nothing more, the body completely dissipates, and there is no end to it. The family grieves and follows in mourning.' The prince asked, 'Will I also die?' The charioteer said, 'Everyone will eventually return to death.' The prince said, 'I cannot live forever between heaven and earth; I too will die.' So he turned the carriage around and returned. The king asked the charioteer, 'Why did the prince return so quickly?' The attendants reported, 'The prince went out for a stroll and saw a funeral carriage on the road. He became unhappy, so he returned quickly.' The king said, 'I do not want the prince to go out for a stroll anymore.' When the prince was twenty years old, the king wanted to find a wife for him. The prince said, 'I will not marry.' The king, for the sake of the prince, selected women from the entire country, choosing hundreds of thousands of women. He had the prince look at them one by one, but none pleased him. Finally, there was a woman named Kujui. The prince said, 'I want to marry this woman.' The king then married her to the prince. The woman who was married to the prince was someone who, in her past life, could sell flowers to the Bodhisattva. Her name in her past life was Kujui, and she continues to be called Kujui in this life.

太子謂婦曰：「我兩人，同牀並首，愿得好華，置我兩人間共視，亦好耶？」其婦曰：「華可得。」即取華置中央，夫妻俠之臥。

婦人之意，欲附太子，太子固謂婦言：「若來附我，必迫此華，此華有汁，流污牀蓆。」其婦即自卻。

久久復謂婦言：「我兩人，同牀並首，愿欲得好㲲布，置我兩人中央顧視之，不亦好耶？」婦曰：「㲲布可得。」即取㲲佈置中央。

婦人之意，意欲身前近太子，太子曰：「若來附我，必有汗垢污㲲布。」其婦即卻，不敢大親太子，意疑太子，坐起常隨太子。

夜半時，四天王，從天窗中來，呼太子曰：「時到可去。」太子曰：「我欲去，不能得去。」四天王，即令舞歌者伏鞞瞑，無所復知。

其婦臥出，太子徐據床，起視其婦，恐婦覺知，太子遂下床而起得去。

徐呼同日所生倉頭車匿，令鞴白馬鞬德于中庭。

車匿即鞴馬，太子上馬欲去，恐門有聲故，徘徊中庭，太子馬行，蹄聲常聞二十里，是門聲聞四十里故，太子不敢開門。

四天王，即使諸鬼神，抱持馬足，逾屋出城，自到王家佃上，止樹下。

明日，王不知太子所在，宮中騷動，王曰：「吾子未曾出遊，今且在佃舍耳

太子對他的妻子說：『我們兩人同牀共枕，希望得到一朵美麗的花，放在我們兩人中間一起欣賞，這樣好嗎？』他的妻子說：『花可以得到。』就取來花放在中間，夫妻倆夾著花躺下。 妻子的意思是想靠近太子，太子卻對妻子說：『如果靠近我，一定會擠壓到這朵花，這花有汁液，會流出來弄髒床鋪。』他的妻子就自己退開了。 過了很久，太子又對妻子說：『我們兩人同牀共枕，希望得到一塊好的毛布，放在我們兩人中間一起欣賞，不也很好嗎？』妻子說：『毛布可以得到。』就取來毛布放在中間。 妻子的意思是想身體靠近太子，太子說：『如果靠近我，一定會把汗垢弄髒毛布。』他的妻子就退開了，不敢太親近太子，心裡懷疑太子，坐立行走常常跟隨太子。 半夜時分，四天王從天窗中下來，呼喚太子說：『時間到了，可以走了。』太子說：『我想走，卻不能走。』四天王就讓歌舞者伏在鼓上昏睡，什麼都不知道了。 他的妻子睡著了，太子慢慢地撐著床，起身看著他的妻子，怕妻子察覺，太子就下床起身離開了。 慢慢地呼喚同一天出生的僕人車匿，讓他把白馬犍陟在院子里備好。 車匿就備好了馬，太子上馬要走，怕開門有聲音，所以在院子里徘徊，太子馬走的時候，蹄聲常常能傳到二十里，是因為門的聲音能傳到四十里，所以太子不敢開門。 四天王就讓眾鬼神抱著馬腳，翻過屋頂出了城，自己到了王家的田舍上，停在樹下。 第二天，國王不知道太子在哪裡，宮中騷動起來，國王說：『我的兒子不曾出遊，現在應該在田舍吧。』

The prince said to his wife, 'We two share the same bed and pillow. I wish to have a beautiful flower placed between us for us to admire together. Would that be good?' His wife said, 'A flower can be obtained.' So she took a flower and placed it in the middle, and the couple lay down with the flower between them. The wife's intention was to get close to the prince, but the prince said to his wife, 'If you come close to me, you will surely press this flower. This flower has juice, which will flow out and stain the bedsheets.' His wife then moved away from him. After a long time, the prince again said to his wife, 'We two share the same bed and pillow. I wish to have a good piece of wool cloth placed between us for us to admire together. Wouldn't that be good?' The wife said, 'Wool cloth can be obtained.' So she took a piece of wool cloth and placed it in the middle. The wife's intention was to get physically close to the prince, but the prince said, 'If you come close to me, you will surely stain the wool cloth with sweat and dirt.' His wife then moved away, not daring to be too intimate with the prince, suspecting him, and constantly following him whether he sat or walked. At midnight, the Four Heavenly Kings came down from the skylight and called to the prince, 'The time has come, you can leave.' The prince said, 'I want to leave, but I cannot.' The Four Heavenly Kings then caused the dancers to fall asleep on the drums, and they knew nothing more. His wife fell asleep, and the prince slowly supported himself on the bed, got up, and looked at his wife, fearing that she would notice. The prince then got off the bed and left. He slowly called his servant, Chariot, who was born on the same day as him, and ordered him to prepare the white horse, Kanthaka, in the courtyard. Chariot prepared the horse, and the prince mounted it, wanting to leave. Fearing the sound of the gate, he hesitated in the courtyard. When the prince's horse walked, the sound of its hooves could often be heard for twenty miles, because the sound of the gate could be heard for forty miles, so the prince dared not open the gate. The Four Heavenly Kings then ordered the ghosts and spirits to hold the horse's feet, and they went over the roof and out of the city, arriving at the king's farm and stopping under a tree. The next day, the king did not know where the prince was, and the palace was in turmoil. The king said, 'My son has never gone out to travel, he must be at the farm.'

王即自到佃舍，遙見太子坐樹下，日光欲照太子，樹曲其枝葉扇之，不得令日光照太子。

王恐心且惶，下馬為太子作禮，太子亦為王作禮，太子曰：「我為王作子，未曾出遊，今一出遊，今王復追我，我馬與奴，續在一傍，愿大王歸宮，我數日自歸。」

王即上馬而歸，謂其婦俱夷：「太子今在佃上，數日來歸。」

太子在樹下，專精長思惟累劫之事，上至三十三天，下至十六泥犁，無一可者；見田中犁者，出土中蟲，或有傷者，或有死者，烏復隨而食之，太子嘆曰：「人生地上，死當入泥犁，不亦苦乎！吾不能久居世間。」即上馬而去。

行十數里，見一男子，名曰賁識，賁識者，鬼神中大神，為人剛憋；左手持弓，右手持箭，腰帶利劍，當道而立。

賁識所立處者有三道，一者天道，二者人道，三者泥犁惡人之道。

太子遙見，心為不樂，直以馬前趣之。

賁識即惶怖戰慄，解劍持弓箭，卻路而立。太子問曰：「何道可從？」賁識即以天道示之：「此道可從。」

太子行數十里，道逢獵者，太子曰：「我欲從卿有所債，寧可得耶？」獵者言：「所索者可得。」太子曰：「欲得君鹿皮。」獵者即以皮與太子，太子亦以珍物與之

國王隨即親自來到佃戶的住所，遠遠看見太子坐在樹下，陽光將要照到太子，樹木彎曲枝葉為他遮擋，不讓陽光照到太子。 國王心中恐懼又不安，下馬向太子行禮，太子也向國王行禮，太子說：『我作為您的兒子，從未出游，今天一出遊，您又來追我，我的馬和僕人，隨後就到，希望大王回宮，我過幾天自己回去。』 國王隨即上馬返回，告訴他的妻子俱夷：『太子現在在佃戶那裡，過幾天就回來了。』 太子在樹下，專心致志地長久思索累世的事情，上至三十三天，下至十六泥犁，沒有一個地方是可取的；看見田里耕地的人，從土中翻出蟲子，有的受傷，有的死去，烏鴉又跟在後面吃它們，太子嘆息道：『人生在地上，死後將入泥犁，不是很痛苦嗎！我不能長久居住在世間。』隨即上馬離去。 走了十幾里路，看見一個男子，名叫賁識，賁識是鬼神中的大神，為人剛強暴躁；左手拿著弓，右手拿著箭，腰間佩著利劍，站在路中間。 賁識所站的地方有三條路，一條是天道，一條是人道，一條是泥犁惡人之道。 太子遠遠看見，心中不悅，直接策馬向前。 賁識立刻驚恐戰慄，解下劍，拿著弓箭，退到路旁站立。太子問道：『哪條路可以走？』賁識就用天道指示他：『這條路可以走。』 太子走了幾十里路，路上遇到獵人，太子說：『我想要向你借點東西，可以嗎？』獵人說：『想要什麼都可以。』太子說：『想要你的鹿皮。』獵人就把鹿皮給了太子，太子也把珍貴的物品給了他。

The king then went to the tenant's dwelling himself and saw the prince sitting under a tree in the distance. The sunlight was about to shine on the prince, but the tree bent its branches and leaves to fan him, preventing the sunlight from reaching him. The king was fearful and uneasy. He dismounted and bowed to the prince. The prince also bowed to the king and said, 'As your son, I have never traveled. Today, I have just gone out, and you are already chasing after me. My horse and servant will follow soon. I hope Your Majesty will return to the palace. I will return myself in a few days.' The king then mounted his horse and returned, telling his wife, Kuli, 'The prince is now at the tenant's place and will return in a few days.' The prince sat under the tree, concentrating deeply on contemplating the events of past lives. From the thirty-third heaven down to the sixteenth hell, he found no place acceptable. He saw people plowing in the fields, turning up worms from the soil. Some were injured, some died, and crows followed to eat them. The prince sighed, 'People live on earth, and after death, they will enter hell. Isn't that painful! I cannot live in this world for long.' He then mounted his horse and left. After traveling for a dozen miles, he saw a man named Ben Shi. Ben Shi was a great deity among the ghosts and gods, known for his rigid and fierce nature. He held a bow in his left hand, an arrow in his right, and a sharp sword at his waist, standing in the middle of the road. There were three paths where Ben Shi stood: one was the path of heaven, one was the path of humans, and one was the path of hell for evil people. The prince saw him from afar and felt displeased. He directly urged his horse forward. Ben Shi immediately became frightened and trembled. He unsheathed his sword, held his bow and arrow, and stepped aside. The prince asked, 'Which path can I take?' Ben Shi pointed to the path of heaven, saying, 'This path can be taken.' After traveling for dozens of miles, the prince encountered a hunter. The prince said, 'I would like to borrow something from you, is that possible?' The hunter said, 'Whatever you want is possible.' The prince said, 'I want your deerskin.' The hunter gave the deerskin to the prince, and the prince gave him valuable items in return.

太子行數十里，駐馬而下，謂車匿：「若從是而還。」車匿言：「我隨大天，不可還。」太子曰：「歸謝大王及我舍妻，言我欲入山為道，終身不復還。」

太子取頭上寶冠無利著身珍衣，授與車匿，車匿啼哭受之；其白馬，前屈膝垂淚，而舐太子足。

車匿步牽馬而還，車匿亦啼，白馬亦啼，從后望太子，取麇鹿皮著之，欲變其服。

婦日望太子當歸，反見空馬，啼哭自投殿下，前抱馬頸，謂車匿：「太子所在？」車匿曰：「太子上謝大王及我舍妻，言我入山為道，終身不復還。」

俱夷曰：「我何薄命！如亡我夫，我當於何所求？我夫我夫！在天上地下人間耶？我當行求之！」謂白馬言：「太子與汝俱出，若反空還？」左右皆為感動。

王聞太子去，泣下交橫，謂俱夷：「人生地上，皆當歸死，吾子學道度世，不亦善耶！」欲以解俱夷意，王亦念太子無已。

王即請國中賢智之士，得數千人，王複選數千人，得數百人，復于數百人中，得數十人，復于數十人中，選擇得五人

太子走了幾十里路，停下馬，對車匿說：『你從這裡回去吧。』車匿說：『我跟隨大天，不能回去。』太子說：『回去告訴大王和我的妻子，說我想要入山修行，終身不再回來。』 太子取下頭上的寶冠和身上沒有裝飾的珍貴衣服，交給車匿，車匿哭著接了過去；那匹白馬，前腿跪下，流著眼淚，舔著太子的腳。 車匿牽著馬步行回去，車匿也哭，白馬也哭，從後面望著太子，太子取來麇鹿皮穿上，想要改變他的裝束。 妻子每天盼望太子回來，卻看到空馬回來，哭著從殿上跳下來，上前抱著馬的脖子，問車匿：『太子在哪裡？』車匿說：『太子讓我回去告訴大王和他的妻子，說他入山修行，終身不再回來。』 俱夷說：『我怎麼這麼命苦！像失去了我的丈夫，我應該向哪裡去尋求？我的丈夫啊我的丈夫！是在天上、地下還是人間呢？我應該去尋找他！』她對白馬說：『太子和你一起出去，你卻空著回來了？』左右的人都被感動了。 國王聽說太子走了，眼淚縱橫，對俱夷說：『人生在世，最終都要歸於死亡，我的兒子學道度世，不也是好事嗎！』想要以此來安慰俱夷，國王也無時無刻不在思念太子。 國王立即請來國內有賢德和智慧的人，得到幾千人，國王又挑選了幾千人，得到幾百人，又從幾百人中，得到幾十人，又從幾十人中，選擇得到五人。

The prince traveled for tens of miles, stopped his horse, and said to Charioteer: 'You should return from here.' Charioteer said: 'I follow the Great One, I cannot return.' The prince said: 'Go back and tell the Great King and my wife, saying that I wish to enter the mountains to cultivate the Way, and will never return for the rest of my life.' The prince took off his jeweled crown and the plain, precious clothes he wore, and gave them to Charioteer, who received them weeping; his white horse knelt down on its front legs, shedding tears, and licked the prince's feet. Charioteer led the horse back on foot, Charioteer also wept, and the white horse also wept, looking back at the prince, who took a deer skin and put it on, wanting to change his attire. The wife looked forward to the prince's return every day, but instead saw the empty horse return, and weeping, she jumped down from the palace, went forward and hugged the horse's neck, asking Charioteer: 'Where is the prince?' Charioteer said: 'The prince asked me to go back and tell the Great King and his wife, saying that he has entered the mountains to cultivate the Way, and will never return for the rest of his life.' Kuyi said: 'How unfortunate I am! It's like losing my husband, where should I seek him? My husband, oh my husband! Is he in heaven, on earth, or in the human realm? I should go and find him!' She said to the white horse: 'The prince went out with you, but you have returned empty?' All those around were moved. The king heard that the prince had left, and tears streamed down his face, he said to Kuyi: 'People are born on this earth, and all must eventually return to death, my son is learning the Way to transcend the world, isn't that a good thing!' He wanted to comfort Kuyi with this, but the king also missed the prince constantly. The king immediately invited the virtuous and wise men of the country, and got several thousand people, the king then selected from several thousand people, and got several hundred people, then from several hundred people, he got several tens of people, and from several tens of people, he selected five people.

王呼五人問言：「卿等日夜於家，抱子持孫，亦獨樂乎？今吾有一子，未曾出遊，不知天下白黑，一旦舍吾，遠處行入名山，涉歷窈林，趣度溪谷，寒暑飢渴，誰當知之？或有虎狼猛獸吉兇之事，誰當見者？今卿等五人，各遣一子，追求吾子，得者便隨侍之，吾子終身不復還，卿等五人，有中道舍吾子去之，吾滅卿等家族。」五人即遣。

五子追求太子，得之於名山，隨而侍之。

如是數歲，太子亦不問五人所從來，太子所行者，皆窈林之處，五人患而苦之，自相謂言：「是王太子，不行學道，病狂癡耳，行不擇道，我五人不能隨，還者王滅吾家，不如於此而止。」五人皆言：「可！」

五人所止處者，大水上，其水上有果蓏異類之物，冬夏常有所啖故不饑，五人止留，太子亦不問也。

太子遂入深山無人之處，取地高草，于樹下正坐，一心自念言：「今日肌骨筋髓，皆枯腐，於此不得佛不起。」

太子便得一禪，復得二禪，復得三禪，復得四禪。

便於一夜中，得阿術阇，自知所從何生，無數世時宿命。

二夜時，得第二術阇，得天眼，徹視洞見無極，知人生死所行，趣善惡之道。

嚮明時，便得佛。

佛自念：「我以得佛矣！難得難知難了

現代漢語譯本：國王對五個人說：『你們日夜在家，抱著孩子，帶著孫子，也覺得很安樂嗎？我有一個兒子，從未出游，不知天下的善惡，一旦離開我，去遠方進入名山，跋涉幽深的樹林，穿過溪谷，寒冷、炎熱、飢餓、乾渴，誰會知道呢？或許有虎狼猛獸帶來的吉兇禍事，誰會看到呢？現在你們五個人，各自派一個兒子，去尋找我的兒子，找到的就跟隨他侍奉他，我的兒子終身不再回來，你們五個人，有中途拋棄我兒子離去的，我就滅你們全族。』五個人立刻派出了兒子。 五個兒子找到了太子，在名山中找到了他，就跟隨他侍奉他。 這樣過了幾年，太子也不問五個人從哪裡來，太子所去的地方，都是幽深的樹林，五個人感到憂慮和痛苦，他們互相說道：『這個是國王的太子，不修行學道，只是個瘋子罷了，走路不選擇道路，我們五個人不能跟隨他，回去的話國王會滅我們全家，不如在這裡停下吧。』五個人都說：『可以！』 五個人停下的地方，是在大水之上，水上有各種奇異的果實，冬夏都有東西可以吃所以不飢餓，五個人就留了下來，太子也不過問。 太子於是進入深山無人之處，取來高高的草，在樹下端正地坐著，一心想著：『今天我的肌肉、骨骼、筋脈、骨髓，都要枯萎腐爛，如果在這裡不能成佛，我就不起來。』 太子便得到了一禪，又得到了二禪，又得到了三禪，又得到了四禪。 於是在一夜之間，得到了阿術阇，自己知道從哪裡來，無數世的宿命。 第二天晚上，得到了第二術阇，得到了天眼，能夠徹底看清一切，知道人生的生死輪迴，以及善惡的道路。 天亮的時候，就成佛了。 佛自己想到：『我已經成佛了！這是難以得到、難以知曉、難以理解的。』

English version: The king said to the five men: 'Do you find it so pleasant, staying at home day and night, holding your children and grandchildren? I have a son who has never traveled, who knows nothing of the world's good and evil. Once he leaves me, going far away into famous mountains, traversing deep forests, crossing streams, who will know of his cold, heat, hunger, and thirst? Perhaps there will be good or bad fortune involving tigers and wolves, who will witness it? Now, each of you five men, send one son to seek my son. Whoever finds him shall serve him. My son will never return. If any of you five abandon my son midway, I will destroy your entire family.' The five men immediately sent their sons. The five sons sought the prince and found him in the famous mountains, and then followed and served him. Several years passed like this, and the prince never asked where the five men came from. The places the prince went were all deep forests. The five men felt worried and distressed. They said to each other: 'This is the king's son, he does not practice the way, he is just a madman. He walks without choosing a path. We five cannot follow him. If we return, the king will destroy our families. It is better to stop here.' The five men all said: 'Agreed!' The place where the five men stopped was above a large body of water. There were various strange fruits on the water. There was always something to eat in winter and summer, so they were not hungry. The five men stayed there, and the prince did not ask about it. The prince then went into the deep mountains where no one was, took tall grass, and sat upright under a tree, thinking with all his heart: 'Today my muscles, bones, tendons, and marrow will wither and rot. If I cannot become a Buddha here, I will not rise.' The prince then attained the first dhyana, then the second dhyana, then the third dhyana, then the fourth dhyana. Then, in one night, he attained Asutja, knowing where he came from, his countless past lives. On the second night, he attained the second Asutja, gaining the heavenly eye, able to see everything clearly, knowing the cycle of life and death, and the paths of good and evil. At dawn, he became a Buddha. The Buddha thought to himself: 'I have become a Buddha! This is difficult to attain, difficult to know, and difficult to understand.'

得佛道，便到龍水所，龍名文鄰。

文鄰者所止水邊有樹，佛便正坐自念言：「昔往無數劫時，有題和竭羅佛言，我當爲釋迦文佛，我今日已得佛矣！我從無數劫以來求佛，適今得佛耳！我從無數劫以來所施，為入六波羅蜜，不忘我功德也，今皆得之。」

佛適念是，便入禪波羅蜜。

佛在水邊樹下，坐禪光景入水，徹照龍所居處。龍見佛光，大驚，毛甲為豎。

文鄰龍曾已更見三佛，一者名拘婁孫佛，二者名拘那含牟尼佛，三者名迦葉佛，皆在樹下坐，光景皆入水中，徹照龍所居處。

龍見佛光景如前，三佛光景世間得，無復有佛。

龍便大喜，出水左右顧視，見佛坐樹下，身有三十二相，正金色，端正如日月。佛三十二相，遙見如樹有華。

文鄰龍便前趣佛，繞佛七匝，龍有七頭，便以覆佛上。龍出水侍佛，便風雨七日，佛禪七日，不動不搖，不喘不息，佛意快無極，過七日後，風雨便止。

佛用初得道故，歡喜不食七日，龍見佛歡喜，侍佛亦不食七日

獲得佛道后，便來到龍水所在之處，那條龍名叫文鄰。 文鄰所居住的水邊有樹，佛便端正地坐下，心中默唸道：『過去無數劫時，有題和竭羅佛說過，我將來會成為釋迦文佛，我今天已經成佛了！我從無數劫以來求佛，直到今天才成佛啊！我從無數劫以來所做的佈施，爲了進入六波羅蜜，我沒有忘記我的功德，現在都得到了。』 佛剛一想到這裡，便進入了禪波羅蜜。 佛在水邊的樹下坐禪，光芒映入水中，照亮了龍所居住的地方。龍見到佛光，大吃一驚，毛髮和鱗甲都豎了起來。 文鄰龍曾經見過三位佛，一位名叫拘婁孫佛，一位名叫拘那含牟尼佛，一位名叫迦葉佛，他們都曾在樹下坐禪，光芒都映入水中，照亮了龍所居住的地方。 龍見到佛的光芒和之前三位佛的光芒一樣，心想世間已經沒有佛了。 龍便非常高興，從水中出來，左右張望，看見佛坐在樹下，身上有三十二種相好，全身金色，端正得像日月一樣。佛的三十二種相好，遠遠看去就像樹上開滿了花。 文鄰龍便走到佛前，繞佛七圈，龍有七個頭，便用頭蓋在佛的上方。龍從水中出來侍奉佛，便颳風下雨七天，佛禪定七天，不動不搖，不喘不息，佛的心意快樂到了極點。七天過後，風雨便停止了。 佛因為初次得道，歡喜得七天沒有吃飯，龍見佛歡喜，侍奉佛也七天沒有吃飯。

Having attained Buddhahood, he then arrived at the place of the dragon's water, the dragon's name was Wenlin. By the water where Wenlin dwelled, there was a tree. The Buddha then sat upright and thought to himself: 'In countless past kalpas, the Buddha named Tihokara said that I would become Sakyamuni Buddha. Today, I have attained Buddhahood! I have sought Buddhahood for countless kalpas, and only now have I attained it! The alms I have given for countless kalpas, in order to enter the Six Paramitas, I have not forgotten my merits, and now I have obtained them all.' As soon as the Buddha thought this, he entered the Dhyana Paramita. The Buddha sat in meditation under the tree by the water, and his light shone into the water, illuminating the place where the dragon lived. The dragon, seeing the Buddha's light, was greatly startled, and its fur and scales stood on end. Wenlin the dragon had previously seen three Buddhas: one named Krakucchanda Buddha, one named Kanakamuni Buddha, and one named Kasyapa Buddha. They had all sat under the tree, and their light had shone into the water, illuminating the place where the dragon lived. The dragon saw the Buddha's light as before, like the light of the three Buddhas, and thought that there were no more Buddhas in the world. The dragon was overjoyed, came out of the water, and looked around. It saw the Buddha sitting under the tree, with the thirty-two marks of a great man, his body golden, as upright as the sun and moon. The Buddha's thirty-two marks, seen from afar, were like flowers blooming on a tree. Wenlin the dragon then approached the Buddha, circumambulated him seven times, and with its seven heads, covered the Buddha. The dragon came out of the water to serve the Buddha, and then there was wind and rain for seven days. The Buddha meditated for seven days, unmoving, unshaking, without breathing. The Buddha's mind was infinitely joyful. After seven days, the wind and rain stopped. Because the Buddha had just attained enlightenment, he was so joyful that he did not eat for seven days. The dragon, seeing the Buddha's joy, also did not eat for seven days while serving the Buddha.

七日竟，佛自覺，龍便以作年少婆羅門，長跪叉手，問佛言：「得無寒，得無熱，得無為蟲蛾蚊虻所嬈？」佛報言：「經說言：『人在屏處快』，昔者所聞，今我皆以，更見之是快；居世間不為人所嬈亦快；不嬈世間人，及蜎飛蠕動之類亦快；過度，不復作世間人、不復作天亦快；無有瞋恚淫泆亦快；於世間得佛泥洹之道亦快。」

龍白佛言：「從今以去，我自歸佛，自歸經。」

佛語龍言：「比后當有眾阿羅漢、比丘僧，汝亦當復務自歸之。」

畜生中，文鄰為於前自歸佛，佛神通洞達，諸天集會，皆稽首前謁。

佛閑居實處，精念：「天下眾善悼哀萬民，意欲教之，當先教誰？吾王遣五人侍我，五人不能及我，今在水上，吾當先教之。」佛即復故道而還。

五人遙見佛來，不知何人，自相謂：「是人來者，慎無作禮，慎無與語。」五人皆言：「可！」佛遙聞五人所道者。

佛至，五人皆惶怖，前為佛作禮。佛言：「卿等五人，何故無堅心耶？屬自相謂：『是人來者，慎無作禮』，今何故作禮？」五人不敢復語。

佛將五人俱去，行數日，佛以手摩五人頭須，皆為沙門

七天過後，佛陀自己覺悟了。龍就變成一個年輕的婆羅門，長跪合掌，問佛陀說：『您沒有感到寒冷嗎？沒有感到炎熱嗎？沒有被蟲子、飛蛾、蚊子、牛虻所困擾嗎？』佛陀回答說：『經書上說：『人在安靜的地方是快樂的』，以前聽到的，現在我都體會到了，並且親眼見到更是快樂；生活在世間不被人困擾也是快樂的；不困擾世間的人，以及飛行的、蠕動的生物也是快樂的；超越生死，不再做世間的人，不再做天人也是快樂的；沒有嗔恨、淫慾也是快樂的；在世間得到佛陀涅槃之道也是快樂的。』 龍對佛陀說：『從今以後，我皈依佛，皈依佛法。』 佛陀對龍說：『以後會有許多阿羅漢、比丘僧，你也應當再次皈依他們。』 在畜生中，文鄰最先皈依佛陀，佛陀神通廣大，諸天都來，都叩頭拜見。 佛陀獨自在安靜的地方，心中思量：『天下眾生都可憐，我想要教化他們，應當先教化誰呢？我的國王派五個人侍奉我，這五個人不能理解我，現在他們在水邊，我應當先教化他們。』佛陀就沿著原來的路返回。 五個人遠遠看見佛陀來了，不知道是誰，就互相說：『這個人來了，千萬不要向他行禮，千萬不要和他說話。』五個人都說：『好！』佛陀遠遠地聽到了五個人說的話。 佛陀到了，五個人都驚慌害怕，上前向佛陀行禮。佛陀說：『你們五個人，為什麼沒有堅定的心呢？剛才還互相說：『這個人來了，千萬不要向他行禮』，現在為什麼又行禮呢？』五個人不敢再說話。 佛陀帶著五個人一起離開，走了幾天，佛陀用手撫摸五人的頭須，他們都成了沙門。

After seven days, the Buddha became enlightened on his own. The dragon then transformed into a young Brahmin, knelt with palms together, and asked the Buddha, 'Are you not cold? Are you not hot? Are you not bothered by insects, moths, mosquitoes, and horseflies?' The Buddha replied, 'The scriptures say: 'It is pleasant for a person to be in a quiet place.' What I heard in the past, I now experience, and seeing it with my own eyes is even more pleasant; living in the world without being disturbed by others is also pleasant; not disturbing the people of the world, as well as flying and crawling creatures, is also pleasant; transcending birth and death, no longer being a person of the world, no longer being a celestial being, is also pleasant; being without anger and lust is also pleasant; attaining the path of Buddha's Nirvana in the world is also pleasant.' The dragon said to the Buddha, 'From now on, I take refuge in the Buddha, I take refuge in the Dharma.' The Buddha said to the dragon, 'Later there will be many Arhats and Bhikkhu Sangha, you should also take refuge in them again.' Among the animals, Wenlin was the first to take refuge in the Buddha. The Buddha's spiritual powers were vast, and all the gods came and bowed their heads in reverence. The Buddha was alone in a quiet place, thinking in his heart: 'All beings in the world are pitiful, I want to teach them, who should I teach first? My king sent five people to serve me, these five people cannot understand me, now they are by the water, I should teach them first.' The Buddha then returned along the same path. The five people saw the Buddha coming from afar, not knowing who it was, and said to each other, 'When this person comes, be sure not to bow to him, be sure not to speak to him.' The five people all said, 'Okay!' The Buddha heard what the five people were saying from afar. When the Buddha arrived, the five people were all frightened and went forward to bow to the Buddha. The Buddha said, 'You five, why do you not have firm hearts? Just now you were saying to each other, 'When this person comes, be sure not to bow to him,' why are you bowing now?' The five people dared not speak again. The Buddha took the five people away together, and after walking for several days, the Buddha touched the hair on the heads of the five people, and they all became Shramanas.

有三道人，各教授弟子，一道人教五百弟子；一道人者，教三百弟子；一道人者，教二百弟子，凡為千人。

佛將五沙門，到三道人所，諸弟子，皆大喜，皆隨佛而去。

佛將諸弟子，行至諸國，到城門，鐘鼓自作聲，琴瑟自鳴；病者得愈，老更少，盲者得視，聾者得聽，傴者得伸，跛者得行；百獸相和悲鳴；諸天飛來散花，作樂其上。

佛光照無數天，其領三千日月，萬二千天地，皆屬焉。

前後教授弟子，教數千萬億人，皆得道度世

有三位道人，各自教授弟子。一位道人教導五百名弟子，一位道人教導三百名弟子，還有一位道人教導二百名弟子，總共有弟子一千人。 佛陀帶領五位沙門，來到這三位道人所在之處。所有的弟子都非常高興，都跟隨佛陀離去。 佛陀帶領眾弟子，行走于各個國家。當他們到達城門時，鐘鼓自動發出聲響，琴瑟也自動鳴奏。病人得到痊癒，老人變得年輕，盲人重見光明，聾人恢復聽力，駝背的人挺直了腰，跛腳的人能夠行走。各種野獸發出和諧的鳴叫聲，諸天神仙飛來散花，並在空中奏樂。 佛陀的光芒照耀著無數的天界，其統領著三千個太陽和月亮，以及一萬二千個天地，都歸屬於他。 佛陀前後教導的弟子，數量達到千萬億人，他們都得道而度脫了世間的苦難。

There were three Taoists, each teaching disciples. One Taoist taught five hundred disciples; one Taoist taught three hundred disciples; and one Taoist taught two hundred disciples, totaling one thousand disciples. The Buddha, with five monks, arrived at the place of the three Taoists. All the disciples were overjoyed and followed the Buddha away. The Buddha led the disciples, traveling to various countries. When they arrived at the city gates, the bells and drums sounded by themselves, and the zithers and lutes played on their own. The sick were healed, the old became young, the blind regained sight, the deaf regained hearing, the hunchbacked straightened up, and the lame could walk. All kinds of beasts harmoniously cried out; the heavens flew down, scattering flowers and making music above. The Buddha's light illuminated countless heavens, and he governed three thousand suns and moons, and twelve thousand worlds, all belonging to him. The Buddha, before and after, taught disciples numbering tens of millions of billions, and they all attained enlightenment and transcended the world.
