佛說凈飯王般涅槃經
宋居士沮渠京聲譯
如是我聞：
一時，佛住王舍城耆阇崛山中，與大比丘眾俱。爾時，世尊光明韑韑，喻若日出照明世間。
時，舍夷國王名曰凈飯——治以正法，禮德仁義，常行慈心——時被重病，身中四大，同時俱作，殘害其體，支節慾解，喘息不定，如駃水流。輔相宣令國中明醫，皆悉集會，瞻王所疾，隨病授藥，種種療治，無能愈者，瑞應已至，將死不久。
時王煩躁，轉側不停，如少水魚，夫人、婇女見其如是，益更愁惱。
時白飯王、斛飯王、大稱王等，及諸群臣同發聲言：「今王設崩，永失覆護，國將虛弱。」王身戰動，唇口乾燥，語聲數絕，眩目淚下。時諸王等，皆以敬意，長跪叉手，同共白言：「大王素性，不好作惡，經彈指頃，積德無厭，護養人民，莫不得安，名聞十方。大王今日，何故愁惱？」
時凈飯王，語聲輒出，告諸王曰：「我命雖逝，不以為苦，但恨不見我子悉達、又恨不見次子難陀，以除貪淫世間諸欲；復恨不見斛飯王子阿難陀者，持佛法藏，一言不失；又恨不見孫子羅云，年雖幼稚，神足純備，戒行無缺。吾

宋代居士沮渠京聲翻譯
我是這樣聽說的：
一時，佛陀住在王舍城（Rājagṛha）的耆阇崛山（Gṛdhrakūṭa）中，與眾多大比丘在一起。當時，世尊的光明非常盛大，就像太陽升起照亮整個世間。
當時，舍夷國（Śākya）的國王，名叫凈飯（Śuddhodana）——以正法治理國家，注重禮儀道德仁義，常常懷有慈悲之心——當時身患重病，身體中的四大元素同時發作，殘害他的身體，肢體關節幾乎要散開，喘息不定，像湍急的水流一樣。輔佐大臣在全國範圍內尋找名醫，都來診治國王的疾病，根據病情給予藥物，用各種方法治療，但沒有能夠治好的，瑞兆顯示，將要去世不久。
當時國王煩躁不安，翻來覆去，像缺水的魚一樣，夫人和婇女看到他這樣，更加愁苦煩惱。
當時白飯王（Śuklodana）、斛飯王（Dronodana）、大稱王（Mahānāma）等，以及各位大臣一同發出聲音說：「現在國王如果駕崩，我們就永遠失去了庇護，國家將會衰弱。」國王身體顫抖，嘴唇乾燥，說話的聲音斷斷續續，眼花繚亂，眼淚流下。當時各位國王等，都以恭敬的心情，長跪合掌，一同說道：「大王一向的品性，不喜歡作惡，即使是短暫的時間，也積累功德沒有厭倦，保護養育人民，沒有誰不得安寧，名聲傳遍十方。大王今天，為什麼這樣愁苦煩惱？」
當時凈飯王，斷斷續續地說出聲音，告訴各位國王說：「我的生命即使逝去，也不覺得痛苦，只是遺憾沒有見到我的兒子悉達多（Siddhartha），又遺憾沒有見到次子難陀（Nanda），以去除貪婪淫慾和世間諸欲；又遺憾沒有見到斛飯王的兒子阿難陀（Ānanda），他能持守佛法寶藏，一句話也不遺漏；又遺憾沒有見到孫子羅睺羅（Rāhula），年齡雖然幼小，神通具足，戒律行為沒有缺失。我...
【English Translation】 English version The Buddha Speaks the Sutra of King Śuddhodana's Parinirvana
Translated by Layman Juqu Jingsheng of the Song Dynasty
Thus have I heard:
At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha (Royal City), together with a large assembly of bhikṣus (monks). At that time, the World-Honored One's light was radiant and brilliant, like the sun rising and illuminating the world.
At that time, the king of the Śākya (Shakya) kingdom, named Śuddhodana (Pure Rice) – who governed with righteous Dharma, valued propriety, virtue, benevolence, and righteousness, and always practiced loving-kindness – was afflicted with a severe illness. The four great elements in his body were simultaneously acting up, harming his body. His limbs and joints were about to come apart, and his breathing was unsteady, like a rushing stream. The assisting ministers proclaimed throughout the kingdom for skilled physicians, who all came to examine the king's illness, administering medicine according to his condition, and treating him with various methods, but none could cure him. Auspicious signs had already appeared, indicating that he would soon pass away.
At that time, the king was restless, tossing and turning, like a fish in shallow water. The queen and concubines, seeing him like this, became even more sorrowful and distressed.
At that time, King Śuklodana (White Rice), King Dronodana (Rice Measure), King Mahānāma (Great Name), and other ministers all spoke in unison, saying, 'If the king were to pass away now, we would forever lose our protection, and the kingdom would become weak.' The king's body trembled, his lips were dry, his voice was intermittent, his eyes were blurred, and tears fell. At that time, all the kings, with reverence, knelt with palms together and said in unison, 'Your Majesty's nature has always been averse to evil. Even for a finger-snap's time, you accumulate merit without weariness, protecting and nurturing the people, so that none are without peace. Your name is known throughout the ten directions. Why are you so sorrowful and distressed today?'
At that time, King Śuddhodana, speaking intermittently, told the kings, 'Even if my life were to pass away, I would not feel bitter, but I regret not seeing my son Siddhartha (He who achieves his goal), and I also regret not seeing my second son Nanda (Joy), who can eliminate greed, lust, and worldly desires; I also regret not seeing Dronodana's son Ānanda (Bliss), who can uphold the treasury of the Buddha's Dharma without losing a single word; I also regret not seeing my grandson Rāhula (Fetter), who, although young in age, is fully endowed with spiritual powers and whose conduct in precepts is without flaw. I...'
設得見是諸子等，我病雖篤，未離生死，不以為苦。」諸在王邊，聞如是語，莫不啼泣，淚下如雨。
時白飯王，答凈飯王言：「我聞世尊在王舍城耆阇崛山中，去此懸遠，五十由旬。王今轉羸，設遣使者，道路懸邈，懼恐遲晚，無所加益。唯愿大王，莫大愁悒懸念諸子。」
時，凈飯王聞是語已，垂淚而言，答白飯王：「我子等輩，雖復遼遠，意望不斷。所以者何？我子成佛，以大慈悲，恒以神通，天眼徹視，天耳洞聽，救接眾生應可度者，如有百千萬億眾生，為水所溺，以慈愍心，為作船筏，而度脫之，終不勞疲。譬如有人為賊所圍，或值怨敵惶怖失計，不望自濟；唯求救護，依有勢者，欲從恐難而得解脫。譬如有人時得重病，欲得良醫以療其疾；如我今日，望見世尊，亦復如是。所以然者？世尊晝夜，常以三時，恒以天眼，觀于眾生應受化者，以慈愍心，如母念子。」
爾時，世尊在靈鷲山，天耳遙聞，迦維羅衛大城之中，父王悒遲及諸王言，即以天眼，遙見父王，病臥著床羸困憔悴命欲向終，知父渴仰欲見諸子。
爾時，世尊告難陀曰：「父王凈飯，勝世間王，是我曹父，今得重病，宜當往見，余命少在，時嚴速發，我曹應往，及命存在，得與相見，令王愿滿。」
難陀受教
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 『如果能見到這些孩子們，我即使病重，尚未脫離生死輪迴，也不會覺得痛苦。』那些在國王身邊的人，聽到這樣的話，沒有不哭泣的，眼淚像下雨一樣。
當時，白飯王回答凈飯王說：『我聽說世尊（釋迦牟尼佛）在王舍城（Rājagṛha）的耆阇崛山（Gṛdhrakūṭa），距離這裡非常遙遠，有五十由旬（yojana）。大王現在身體虛弱，即使派遣使者，道路遙遠，恐怕時間太晚，沒有什麼幫助。只希望大王，不要過度憂愁，懸念諸位王子。』
當時，凈飯王聽到這些話后，流著眼淚說，回答白飯王：『我的孩子們，即使遙遠，我的思念也不會斷絕。為什麼呢？我的兒子成了佛，以大慈悲心，經常以神通，用天眼徹視，用天耳洞聽，救助那些應該被救度的眾生。如有成百上千萬億的眾生，被水淹沒，他會以慈悲憐憫之心，為他們製造船筏，而救度他們，終不疲倦。譬如有人被盜賊包圍，或者遇到怨敵，驚慌失措，不期望自救；只求救護，依靠有勢力的人，希望從恐懼和困難中得到解脫。譬如有人得了重病，想要得到良醫來治療他的疾病；我今天，盼望見到世尊，也是這樣。為什麼這樣說呢？世尊日夜，經常在三個時辰，經常用天眼，觀察眾生中應該被教化的人，以慈悲憐憫之心，像母親思念兒子一樣。』
這時，世尊在靈鷲山（Gṛdhrakūṭa），用天耳遙遠地聽到，在迦維羅衛（Kapilavastu）大城之中，父王憂愁遲疑以及諸位大臣的言語，立即用天眼，遙遠地看見父王，病臥在床，虛弱憔悴，生命將要終結，知道父王渴望見到諸位王子。
當時，世尊告訴難陀（Nanda）說：『父王凈飯（Śuddhodana），是超越世間諸王的國王，是我們的父親，現在得了重病，應該前去探望，剩餘的生命不多了，要迅速出發，我們應該前去，趁著生命還在，能夠與他相見，讓父王的心願圓滿。』
難陀接受了教誨。
【English Translation】 English version: 『If I could see these sons, even though my illness is severe and I have not yet escaped birth and death, I would not feel it as suffering.』 Those who were by the king's side, hearing these words, could not help but weep, tears falling like rain.
At that time, Bālabhojana (White Rice King) replied to Śuddhodana (Pure Rice King), saying, 『I have heard that the World-Honored One (Bhagavan) is at Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rājagṛha (Royal City), which is very far from here, fifty yojanas (leagues). The king is now weak, and even if messengers were sent, the road is long and distant, I fear it would be too late and of no help. I only hope that the Great King does not grieve excessively and worry about the princes.』
At that time, Śuddhodana, hearing these words, wept and said in reply to Bālabhojana, 『My sons, even though they are far away, my thoughts of them will not cease. Why is that? My son has become a Buddha, with great compassion, constantly using his supernatural powers, using his heavenly eye to see through everything, using his heavenly ear to hear everything, to rescue those beings who should be saved. If there are hundreds of millions of billions of beings drowning in water, he will, with a compassionate heart, make rafts for them and deliver them, never tiring. It is like someone surrounded by thieves, or encountering enemies, panicking and losing their senses, not expecting to save themselves; they only seek rescue, relying on those with power, hoping to be freed from fear and difficulty. It is like someone who has a serious illness, wanting to find a good doctor to cure their disease; as I am today, hoping to see the World-Honored One, it is also like that. Why is that? The World-Honored One, day and night, constantly at three times, constantly uses his heavenly eye to observe those beings who should be transformed, with a compassionate heart, like a mother thinking of her son.』
At that time, the World-Honored One was on Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain, and with his heavenly ear, he heard from afar, in the great city of Kapilavastu, the words of his father, the king, hesitating and worrying, and the words of the ministers. Immediately, with his heavenly eye, he saw from afar his father, the king, lying sick in bed, weak and emaciated, his life nearing its end, knowing that his father longed to see his sons.
At that time, the World-Honored One said to Nanda, 『King Śuddhodana, who surpasses the kings of the world, is our father, and now he is seriously ill. We should go to see him. There is little life remaining. We should depart quickly, we should go, while life remains, to be able to see him, so that the king's wish may be fulfilled.』
Nanda received the teaching.
，長跪作禮：「唯然，世尊！凈飯王者，是我曹父，所作奇特，能生聖子，利益世間，今宜往詣，報育養恩。」
阿難合掌前白佛言：「我隨世尊貪共相見，凈飯王者是我伯父，聽我出家為佛弟子，得佛為師，是故欲往。」
羅云復前，而白佛言：「世尊雖是我父，棄國求道，我蒙祖王育養成就，而得出家，是故欲往奉覲祖王。」
佛言：「善哉！善哉！宜知是時，令王愿滿。」
於是，世尊即以神足，猶如雁王，踴身虛空，忽然而現在迦維羅衛，放大光明。國中人民，遙見佛來，皆共舉聲，涕淚而言：「設大王崩，舍夷國名必絕滅矣。」城中人民向佛啼哭，白世尊言：「爾時，太子逾出宮城，詣藍毗樹下，而坐思惟，父王見之，稽首敬禮。大王如是，命斷不久，唯愿如來，宜可時往及共相見。」
國中人民，宛轉自撲，哽咽啼哭，中有自絕瓔珞者、中有自裂壞衣服者、中有自㨑拔其發者、中有取灰土而自坌者，痛徹骨髓，猶癲狂人。
佛見是已，諫國中人：「無常別離，古今有是，汝等諸人！當思念之，生死為苦，唯道是真。」佛以法雨，灌眾生心，以種種法，而開解之。
於是世尊，即以十力、四無所畏、十八不共諸佛之法，放大光明；更復重以三十二相、八十種好
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：他們長跪行禮說：『是的，世尊！凈飯王（Śuddhodana），是我們的父親，他所做的奇特之事，是能生下您這位聖子，利益世間，現在應該前去拜見，報答他的養育之恩。』 阿難（Ānanda）合掌上前對佛說：『我跟隨世尊，一直希望能與他相見，凈飯王是我的伯父，他允許我出家成為佛的弟子，並以佛為師，因此我想前去拜見。』 羅睺羅（Rāhula）也上前對佛說：『世尊雖然是我的父親，但他捨棄國家追求真理，我蒙受祖父凈飯王的養育才得以長大成人，並能出家修行，因此我想前去拜見祖父。』 佛說：『好啊！好啊！你們應該知道時機，讓國王的心願得以滿足。』 於是，世尊立即運用神通，像雁王一樣，騰身飛向天空，忽然出現在迦毗羅衛（Kapilavastu），並放出耀眼的光芒。國中的人民遠遠地看見佛陀到來，都一起放聲大哭，流著眼淚說：『如果大王駕崩，釋迦（Śākya）國之名必定滅絕啊。』城中的人民向佛陀哭訴說：『當初，太子逾越宮城，前往藍毗尼（Lumbini）樹下，靜坐思惟，父王見到后，也稽首敬禮。大王現在這樣，壽命將盡不久，唯愿如來，可以及時前去與他相見。』 國中的人民，倒地打滾，哽咽啼哭，有人扯斷自己的瓔珞，有人撕裂自己的衣服，有人揪拔自己的頭髮，有人抓起灰土往自己身上撒，痛苦徹入骨髓，就像癲狂之人一樣。 佛陀見到這種情況，勸誡國中的人民說：『無常和別離，自古以來就是如此，你們這些人！應當思念這些道理，生死是痛苦的，只有真道才是真實的。』佛陀用佛法之雨，灌溉眾生的心田，用種種佛法，來開導他們。 於是世尊，以十力、四無所畏、十八不共法等諸佛的功德，放出大光明；又以三十二相、八十種好
【English Translation】 English version: They knelt down and paid homage, saying, 'Yes, World Honored One! King Śuddhodana is our father. The extraordinary thing he did was to give birth to you, the Holy Son, benefiting the world. Now we should go and visit him to repay his nurturing grace.' Ānanda, with his palms together, stepped forward and said to the Buddha, 'I have been following the World Honored One, always hoping to see him. King Śuddhodana is my uncle. He allowed me to leave home and become a disciple of the Buddha, and to have the Buddha as my teacher. Therefore, I wish to go and visit him.' Rāhula also stepped forward and said to the Buddha, 'Although the World Honored One is my father, he abandoned the kingdom to seek the Way. I was raised and nurtured by my grandfather, the King, and was able to leave home. Therefore, I wish to go and pay my respects to my grandfather.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent! Excellent! You should know the right time to fulfill the King's wishes.' Thereupon, the World Honored One immediately used his supernatural powers, like a wild goose king, soaring into the sky, and suddenly appeared in Kapilavastu, emitting great light. The people in the country, seeing the Buddha coming from afar, all cried out in unison, weeping and saying, 'If the Great King passes away, the name of the Śākya kingdom will surely be extinguished!' The people in the city cried to the Buddha, saying, 'At that time, the Prince crossed the palace walls and went to the Lumbini tree to sit and contemplate. When the King saw him, he bowed and paid homage. The Great King is now in such a state, his life will not last long. We only hope that the Tathāgata can go and see him in time.' The people in the country fell to the ground, sobbing and crying. Some tore off their necklaces, some tore their clothes, some pulled out their hair, and some took ashes and threw them on themselves, the pain piercing their bones, like madmen. Seeing this, the Buddha admonished the people in the country, 'Impermanence and separation have always been the case since ancient times. All of you! You should contemplate these truths. Birth and death are suffering, only the true path is real.' The Buddha used the rain of Dharma to irrigate the minds of sentient beings, and used various Dharma teachings to enlighten them. Then the World Honored One, with the ten powers, the four fearlessnesses, the eighteen unshared qualities of the Buddhas, emitted great light; and further with the thirty-two marks and eighty minor characteristics
，放大光明；以從無量阿僧祇劫，所作功德，放大光明。其光照曜，內外通達，周遍國界，光照王身，患苦得安，王遂怪言：「是何光耶？為日月光、諸天光乎！光觸我身，如天栴檀，令我身中患苦得息，我遂疑怪。儻是我子悉達來也，先現光明，是其瑞耳。」
時，大稱王從外入宮，白大王言：「世尊已來，將諸弟子阿難、難陀、羅云之等，乘空來至，王宜歡喜，舍愁毒心。」
王聞佛來，敬意踴躍，不覺起坐，須臾之頃，佛便入宮。王見佛到，遙舉兩手，接足而言：「唯愿如來，手觸我身，令我得安，為病所困，如壓麻油，痛不可忍，我命將逝，寧可還反，我今最後，得見世尊，痛恨即除。」
佛知父王病重羸瘦，色變難識，睹見形體，憔悴叵看，佛告難陀：「觀王本時，形體巍巍，顏色端正，名聲遠聞，今得重病，乃不可識；端正形容、勇健之名，今何所在？」
爾時，凈飯王一心合掌，嘆世尊言：
「汝愿已成就， 亦滿眾生愿， 我今得重病， 愿佛度我厄。 嚴飾瞿曇種， 汝為甚奇特， 末世說正法， 無護而作護。 法王以法味， 灌澤諸眾生， 如是後世人， 我子極慈孝。 人中之上寶， 名達大千界， 上至凈居天， 獨步無等雙
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 放大光明；以從無量阿僧祇劫（asaṃkhya-kalpa，無數劫），所作功德，放大光明。其光照耀，內外通達，周遍國界，光照王身，患苦得安，王遂怪言：『這是什麼光啊？是日月的光，還是諸天的光呢！光觸我身，如同天上的栴檀（candana，一種香木），令我身中的患苦得以平息，我因此感到疑惑奇怪。莫非是我的兒子悉達多（Siddhartha）來了，先顯現光明，這是吉祥的徵兆啊。』 當時，大稱王從外面進入宮殿，稟告大王說：『世尊（Bhagavan，佛的尊稱）已經來了，帶著他的弟子阿難（Ānanda）、難陀（Nanda）、羅云（Rāhula）等人，乘空而來，大王您應該感到歡喜，捨棄憂愁痛苦的心情。』 國王聽到佛陀來了，敬意涌上心頭，不由自主地起身坐了起來，不一會兒，佛陀便進入了宮殿。國王見到佛陀到來，遠遠地舉起雙手，以頭面接足禮敬佛陀，說道：『唯愿如來（Tathāgata，佛的稱號），用手觸控我的身體，讓我得以安寧，我被疾病所困擾，就像被壓榨麻油一樣，痛苦得無法忍受，我的生命將要逝去，還能返回嗎？我今生最後一次，得見世尊，痛苦和遺憾立刻消除了。』 佛陀知道父王病重，身體極度虛弱消瘦，臉色也變得難以辨認，看到他的形體，憔悴得讓人不忍觀看，佛陀告訴難陀：『你看看國王原本的模樣，形體多麼高大威嚴，容貌多麼端正，名聲多麼遠揚，如今得了重病，竟然變得無法辨認；端正的容貌、勇健的名聲，如今又在哪裡呢？』 當時，凈飯王（Śuddhodana）一心合掌，讚歎世尊說道： 『您的願望已經成就，也滿足了眾生的願望，我現在得了重病，愿佛陀您能救度我脫離困境。您莊嚴了瞿曇（Gautama）種姓，您是多麼奇特，在末法時代宣說正法，在沒有庇護的情況下成為庇護。法王（Dharmaraja，佛的稱號）用佛法的滋味，灌溉滋潤所有的眾生，像這樣後世的人們會說，我的兒子是極度慈悲孝順的。您是人中之上的珍寶，名聲傳遍大千世界，上至凈居天（Śuddhāvāsa），獨一無二，無人能比。』
【English Translation】 English version: He emitted great light; with the merit accumulated from countless asaṃkhya-kalpas (innumerable eons), he emitted great light. The light illuminated, penetrating both inside and outside, pervading the kingdom, shining upon the king's body, bringing peace to his suffering. The king then wondered, saying, 'What is this light? Is it the light of the sun and moon, or the light of the devas (gods)? The light touches my body like heavenly candana (sandalwood), relieving the suffering in my body. I am therefore puzzled and amazed. Could it be that my son Siddhartha has come, first manifesting light as an auspicious sign?' At that time, Mahānāma entered the palace from outside and reported to the great king, 'The Bhagavan (Blessed One, a title for the Buddha) has arrived, bringing his disciples Ānanda, Nanda, Rāhula, and others, coming through the air. Your Majesty should rejoice and relinquish your sorrowful and painful heart.' Upon hearing that the Buddha had come, the king's reverence surged, and he involuntarily rose and sat up. Shortly thereafter, the Buddha entered the palace. Seeing the Buddha arrive, the king raised both hands from afar, prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and said, 'May the Tathāgata (Thus Come One, another title for the Buddha) touch my body with his hand, so that I may find peace. I am afflicted by illness, like being pressed for sesame oil, the pain is unbearable. My life is about to pass away, can it still return? This is the last time in my life that I have the opportunity to see the World-Honored One, and my pain and regret are immediately dispelled.' The Buddha knew that his father, the king, was seriously ill, extremely weak and emaciated, and his complexion had changed beyond recognition. Seeing his form, so haggard that it was unbearable to look at, the Buddha said to Nanda, 'Observe the king's original appearance, how tall and majestic his form was, how upright his countenance, how far his reputation spread. Now, having contracted a serious illness, he has become unrecognizable. Where are his upright appearance and his reputation for courage and strength now?' At that time, King Śuddhodana, with a focused mind, joined his palms together and praised the World-Honored One, saying: 'Your vows have been fulfilled, and you have also fulfilled the vows of all beings. I am now seriously ill; may the Buddha deliver me from my distress. You have adorned the Gautama lineage; you are exceedingly unique. In the degenerate age, you proclaim the true Dharma, and without protection, you act as a protector. The Dharma King (Dharmaraja, another title for the Buddha) uses the flavor of the Dharma to irrigate and nourish all beings. Thus, future generations will say that my son is extremely compassionate and filial. You are the supreme treasure among humans, your name reaches the great thousand world system, up to the Śuddhāvāsa heavens, unparalleled and without equal.'
。」
佛言：「唯愿父王，莫復愁悒。所以然者？道德純備，無有缺減。」佛從袈裟里出金色臂，掌如蓮華，即以手著父王額上：「王是清凈、戒行之人，心垢已離，今應歡悅，不宜煩惱。當諦思念，諸經法義，于不牢固，得堅固志，已種善根。是故，大王！宜當歡喜，命雖欲終，自可寬意。」
時大稱王以恭敬心，白凈飯王言：「佛是王子，神力具足，無與等者；次子難陀，亦是王子，已度生死諸欲之海，四道無礙；斛飯王子阿難陀者，已服法味，佛所說法，猶若淵海，一句不忘，悉總持之；王孫羅云，道德純備，逮諸禪定，成四道果。是四子等，已壞魔網。」
時，凈飯王聞是語已，歡喜踴躍，不能自勝，即以自手，捉于佛手，著其心上。王于臥處，仰向合掌，白世尊言：「我瞻如來，目𥇒不眴，視之無厭，我願已滿，心意踴躍，從是取別。如來至真，多所饒益，其有得見，聞所說者，此輩之等皆是有相，大功德人。今日世尊是我之子，接遇過多，不見捐棄。」
王于臥處，合掌心禮世尊足下，時佛手掌，故在王心，無常對至，命盡氣絕，忽就後世。於是諸釋，㘁啕啼哭，舉身自撲，兩手拍地，解髻亂髮，同發聲言：「永失覆蓋。」中有自絕瓔珞者、中有自裂壞衣服者、中有取灰土而自
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 佛陀說：『唯愿父王，不要再憂愁煩悶了。這是因為您的道德純正完備，沒有任何缺失。』佛陀從袈裟里伸出金色的手臂，手掌像蓮花一樣，用手按在父王的額頭上說：『大王您是清凈持戒之人，心中的污垢已經去除，現在應該歡喜，不應該煩惱。應當仔細思念諸經的法義，對於不牢固的世事，得到堅固的意志，已經種下善根。所以，大王！應該歡喜，即使壽命將盡，也可以放寬心。』 當時，大稱王以恭敬的心，對凈飯王說：『佛陀是王子，神力具足，沒有人可以相比；二王子難陀（Nanda），也是王子，已經度過生死諸欲之海，四道通達無礙；斛飯王的兒子阿難陀（Ānanda），已經服食法味，佛陀所說的法，就像深淵大海一樣，一句也不會忘記，全部都能總持；王孫羅睺羅（Rāhula），道德純正完備，獲得各種禪定，成就四道果位。這四個兒子，已經摧毀了魔的羅網。』 當時，凈飯王聽到這些話后，歡喜踴躍，不能自已，就用自己的手，握住佛陀的手，放在自己的心上。國王在臥榻上，仰面合掌，對世尊說：『我瞻仰如來，眼睛都不眨一下，看也看不夠，我的願望已經滿足，心意歡喜踴躍，從此告別。如來至真至善，多有饒益，那些能夠見到如來，聽到如來說法的人，這些人都是有福相，有大功德的人。今天世尊是我的兒子，承蒙您過多的照顧，沒有拋棄我。』 國王在臥榻上，合掌心裡禮敬世尊的腳下，這時佛陀的手掌，還在國王的心上，無常到來，壽命終結，氣息斷絕，忽然就去世了。於是各位釋迦族人，嚎啕大哭，全身撲倒在地，兩手拍打地面，解開頭髮，一同發出聲音說：『永遠失去了庇護。』有人扯斷自己的瓔珞，有人撕裂損壞自己的衣服，有人抓起灰土塗抹自己。
【English Translation】 English version: The Buddha said, 'May the King, my father, not be sorrowful or distressed any longer. Why is that? Because your morality is pure and complete, without any deficiency.' The Buddha extended his golden arm from within his robe, his palm like a lotus flower, and placed his hand on his father's forehead, saying, 'O King, you are a pure and disciplined person, the defilements of your heart have been removed, now you should rejoice, and not be troubled. You should carefully contemplate the Dharma teachings of the scriptures, and in the face of impermanence, attain a steadfast will, having already planted good roots. Therefore, O Great King! You should rejoice, even though your life is about to end, you can set your mind at ease.' At that time, King Mahānāma (Great Name) with a respectful heart, said to King Śuddhodana (Pure Rice): 'The Buddha is a prince, possessing complete divine power, with no equal; the second prince Nanda (Joy), is also a prince, having crossed the ocean of birth, death, and desires, with unobstructed passage through the four paths; Ānanda (Bliss), son of Dronodana (Rice Bucket), has tasted the flavor of the Dharma, the Dharma spoken by the Buddha is like a deep ocean, not a single word is forgotten, all are completely retained; Prince Rāhula (Fetter), is pure and complete in morality, having attained various samādhis, accomplishing the four paths and their fruits. These four sons have destroyed the net of Māra (the Evil One).' At that time, King Śuddhodana, hearing these words, rejoiced and leaped for joy, unable to restrain himself, and with his own hand, grasped the Buddha's hand, placing it on his heart. The king, lying on his bed, looked up and joined his palms, saying to the World-Honored One: 'I gaze upon the Tathāgata (Thus Gone One), without blinking my eyes, never tiring of seeing you, my wish is fulfilled, my heart rejoices, and I now take my leave. The Tathāgata is supremely true, greatly beneficial, those who are able to see the Tathāgata, and hear what he says, these people are blessed, people of great merit. Today the World-Honored One is my son, I am grateful for your excessive care, and that you have not abandoned me.' The king, lying on his bed, with palms joined, respectfully bowed at the feet of the World-Honored One, at this time the Buddha's palm was still on the king's heart, impermanence arrived, his life ended, his breath ceased, and he suddenly passed away. Thereupon all the Śākyas (the Buddha's clan) wailed and wept loudly, throwing themselves to the ground, striking the ground with both hands, loosening their hair, and crying out together, saying, 'We have forever lost our protection.' Some tore off their necklaces, some tore and ruined their clothes, some took ashes and smeared themselves.
坌者、中有自總拔其發者、中有說王順政治國不枉人民者，中有復言：「諸小國等失其覆護，王中尊王今已崩背，國失威神。」
時，諸釋子以眾香汁，洗浴王身，纏以劫波育㲲及諸繒帛，而以棺斂；作師子座，七寶莊挍，真珠羅網，垂繞其傍，便舉棺置於師子座上，散華燒香。
佛共難陀，在喪頭前肅恭而立，阿難、羅云住在喪足。難陀長跪，白佛言：「父王養我，愿聽難陀擔父王棺。」
阿難合掌，前白佛言：「唯愿聽我擔伯父棺。」
羅云復前，而白佛言：「唯愿聽我擔祖王棺。」
爾時世尊，念當來世，人民兇暴，不報父母育養之恩，為是不孝之者，為是當來眾生之等，設禮法故。如來躬身，自欲擔于父王之棺，即時三千大千世界，六種震動，一切眾山，駊騀涌沒，如水上船。
爾時欲界，一切諸天，與無央數百千眷屬俱來赴喪。北方天王毗沙門，將諸夜叉、鬼神之等，億百千眾俱來赴喪；東方天王提頭賴吒，從諸伎樂鬼神之等，億百千眾俱來赴喪；南方天王毗樓勒叉，從鳩槃荼鬼神之等，億百千眾俱來赴喪；西方天王毗留婆叉，從諸龍神，億百千眾俱來赴喪，皆共發哀，舉聲啼哭。
時四天王，竊共思議：「瞻望世尊，為當來世諸不孝順父母者故，以大慈悲，
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 有人蓬頭垢面，自己拔著頭髮；有人說國王英明，治理國家公正，人民沒有冤屈；還有人重複地說：『各個小國失去了庇護，我們尊貴的國王現在已經駕崩，國家失去了威嚴。』 當時，各位釋迦族的王子用各種香水清洗國王的身體，用劫波育㲲（一種精美的布料）和各種絲綢包裹，然後放入棺材；製作了獅子座（一種裝飾華麗的座位），用七寶裝飾，用珍珠羅網垂在旁邊，然後抬起棺材放在獅子座上，散花焚香。 佛陀與難陀（Ananda，佛陀的堂弟）一起，在靈柩前肅立，阿難（Ananda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）、羅云（Rahula，佛陀的兒子）站在靈柩的腳邊。難陀長跪，對佛陀說：『父王養育了我，希望允許難陀來抬父王的棺材。』 阿難合掌，上前對佛陀說：『希望允許我來抬伯父的棺材。』 羅云也上前，對佛陀說：『希望允許我來抬祖父的棺材。』 這時，世尊考慮到未來世道衰敗，人民兇惡暴戾，不報答父母養育的恩情，爲了這些不孝順的人，爲了未來世的眾生，設立禮法。如來親自彎腰，想要抬父王的棺材，當時三千大千世界發生六種震動，所有的山都搖動涌沒，像水上的船一樣。 當時欲界的一切諸天，與無數百千眷屬一同前來奔喪。北方天王毗沙門（Vaisravana），帶領著夜叉（Yaksa）、鬼神等億百千眾一同前來奔喪；東方天王提頭賴吒（Dhritarashtra），帶領著伎樂鬼神等億百千眾一同前來奔喪；南方天王毗樓勒叉（Virudhaka），帶領著鳩槃荼（Kumbhanda）鬼神等一同前來奔喪；西方天王毗留婆叉（Virupaksha），帶領著諸龍神，億百千眾一同前來奔喪，都一起發出哀嘆，大聲啼哭。 當時四天王私下商議：『瞻仰世尊，爲了未來世那些不孝順父母的人，以大慈悲心，'
【English Translation】 English version: Some were disheveled, tearing out their own hair; some said the king was wise, governing the country justly, and the people had no grievances; others repeated, 'The small countries have lost their protection, our honored king has now passed away, and the country has lost its majesty.' At that time, the Shakya princes washed the king's body with various fragrant waters, wrapped it in 'jie bo yu die' (a kind of fine cloth) and various silks, and then placed it in a coffin; they made a lion throne (an ornately decorated seat), decorated with the seven treasures, with pearl nets hanging around it, and then lifted the coffin and placed it on the lion throne, scattering flowers and burning incense. The Buddha stood respectfully with Nanda (Ananda, Buddha's cousin) before the coffin, while Ananda (Ananda, one of the Buddha's ten major disciples) and Rahula (Rahula, Buddha's son) stood at the foot of the coffin. Nanda knelt down and said to the Buddha, 'My father raised me, I wish to be allowed to carry my father's coffin.' Ananda, with his palms together, stepped forward and said to the Buddha, 'I wish to be allowed to carry my uncle's coffin.' Rahula also stepped forward and said to the Buddha, 'I wish to be allowed to carry my grandfather's coffin.' At this time, the World Honored One, considering that in the future the world would decline, the people would be fierce and violent, and would not repay the kindness of their parents' upbringing, established rituals for these unfilial people, for the beings of the future world. The Thus Come One personally bent down, wanting to carry his father's coffin, and at that time, the three thousand great thousand worlds shook in six ways, and all the mountains shook and submerged, like boats on water. At that time, all the devas (devas) of the desire realm, along with countless hundreds of thousands of attendants, came to attend the funeral. The Northern Heavenly King Vaisravana (Vaisravana), leading yakshas (Yaksa), ghosts, and spirits, in the number of hundreds of thousands, came to attend the funeral; the Eastern Heavenly King Dhritarashtra (Dhritarashtra), leading musicians, ghosts, and spirits, in the number of hundreds of thousands, came to attend the funeral; the Southern Heavenly King Virudhaka (Virudhaka), leading kumbhandas (Kumbhanda), ghosts, and spirits, came to attend the funeral; the Western Heavenly King Virupaksha (Virupaksha), leading dragons and spirits, in the number of hundreds of thousands, came to attend the funeral, all lamenting and crying loudly. At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings secretly discussed, 'Looking up to the World Honored One, for the sake of those who are unfilial to their parents in the future world, with great compassion,'
現自躬身擔父王棺。」時，四天王俱共長跪，同時發聲，俱白佛言：「唯然世尊！愿聽我等擔父王棺。所以然者？我等亦是佛之弟子，亦復從佛，聞法意解，得法眼凈，成須陀洹。以是之故，我曹宜擔父王之棺。」
爾時世尊，聽四天王擔父王棺。時四天王，各自變身，如人形像，以手擎棺，擔在肩上，舉國人民，一切大眾，莫不啼哭。
爾時世尊，威光益顯，如萬日並。如來躬身，手執香爐，在喪前行，出詣葬所，靈鷲山上。有千阿羅漢，以神足力，乘虛來至，稽首佛足，復白佛言：「唯愿世尊，敕使何事！」
時，佛便告諸阿羅漢：「汝等疾往大海渚上，取牛頭栴檀種種香木。」即受教敕，如彈指頃，各到大海，共取香薪，屈伸臂頃，便已來到。
佛與大眾，共積香薪，舉棺置上，放火焚之。一切大眾，見火盛然，皆向佛前，宛轉自撲，益更悲哭。有得道者，皆自慶幸；未獲道者，心戰惶怖，衣毛為豎。
爾時世尊，告眾會曰：「世皆無常，苦空非身，無有堅固，如幻如化，如熱時炎，如水中月，命不久居。汝等諸人！勿見此火，便以為熱，諸欲之火，極復過此。是故汝等，當自勸勉，永離生死，乃得大安。」時火焚燒大王身已。
爾時諸王，各各皆持五百瓶乳，以用滅火
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：這時，世尊親自彎腰去抬父王的棺材。當時，四大天王一齊長跪，同時出聲，一起對佛說：『是的，世尊！愿聽許我們抬父王的棺材。這是因為，我們也是佛的弟子，也跟隨佛聞法意解，得到法眼清凈，成就須陀洹（Sotapanna，入流果）。因為這個緣故，我們應該抬父王的棺材。』 當時世尊，允許四大天王抬父王的棺材。當時四大天王，各自變化身形，變成人形模樣，用手托著棺材，扛在肩上，整個國家的人民，所有大眾，沒有不啼哭的。 當時世尊，威光更加顯耀，如同萬個太陽一同出現。如來親自拿著香爐，在喪事隊伍前行，前往葬地靈鷲山（Vulture Peak Mountain）。有一千阿羅漢（Arhat，已證得涅槃的修行者），用神通力量，乘虛空而來，頂禮佛足，又對佛說：『唯愿世尊，吩咐我們做什麼事！』 當時，佛便告訴眾阿羅漢：『你們快速前往大海邊，取牛頭栴檀（Red sandalwood，一種珍貴的木材）和各種香木。』他們立即接受教令，如同彈指之間，各自到達大海，一起取了香柴，伸屈手臂的瞬間，便已經來到。 佛與大眾，一起堆積香柴，把棺材放在上面，放火焚燒。所有大眾，看見火勢旺盛，都向佛前，翻滾自撲，更加悲傷哭泣。已經得道的人，都自我慶幸；尚未得道的人，心中戰慄恐懼，汗毛都豎了起來。 當時世尊，告訴大眾說：『世間一切都是無常的，是苦、空，沒有自我，沒有堅固不變的東西，如同幻象、變化，如同熱天時的陽焰，如同水中的月亮，生命不會長久停留。你們這些人！不要看見這火，就只以為是熱，諸欲之火，比這還要厲害。所以你們，應當自我勸勉，永遠脫離生死輪迴，才能得到大安樂。』當時火已經焚燒了大王的身軀。 當時各位國王，各自都拿著五百瓶乳，用來滅火。
【English Translation】 English version: Then, the World-Honored One personally bent down to carry his father's coffin.' At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings all knelt down together, and simultaneously voiced, together saying to the Buddha: 'Yes, World-Honored One! May we be permitted to carry our father's coffin. The reason for this is that we are also disciples of the Buddha, and also follow the Buddha, hearing the Dharma and understanding its meaning, attaining purity of the Dharma eye, and becoming Sotapannas (Sotapanna, Stream-enterer). Because of this reason, we should carry our father's coffin.' At that time, the World-Honored One permitted the Four Heavenly Kings to carry their father's coffin. At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings each transformed their bodies, into human-like forms, using their hands to support the coffin, carrying it on their shoulders, the people of the entire country, all the assembly, none did not weep. At that time, the World-Honored One's majestic light became even more radiant, like ten thousand suns appearing together. The Tathagata personally held an incense burner, walking in front of the funeral procession, going to the burial site, Vulture Peak Mountain (Vulture Peak Mountain). There were a thousand Arhats (Arhat, one who has attained Nirvana), using their supernatural powers, coming through the air, prostrating at the Buddha's feet, and again saying to the Buddha: 'May the World-Honored One, instruct us what to do!' At that time, the Buddha then told the Arhats: 'You quickly go to the shore of the great ocean, and take sandalwood (Red sandalwood, a precious wood) and various fragrant woods.' Immediately receiving the teaching, in the time of a finger snap, each arrived at the great ocean, together taking fragrant firewood, in the time of stretching and bending an arm, they had already arrived. The Buddha and the assembly, together piled up fragrant firewood, placing the coffin on top, setting it on fire to burn. All the assembly, seeing the fire blazing strongly, all facing the Buddha, rolling and prostrating themselves, weeping even more sadly. Those who had attained the Way, all congratulated themselves; those who had not yet attained the Way, their hearts trembled with fear, the hairs on their bodies stood on end. At that time, the World-Honored One, told the assembly: 'All in the world is impermanent, suffering and empty, without self, without anything solid, like illusions, like transformations, like mirages in hot weather, like the moon in water, life does not stay long. You all! Do not see this fire, and only think it is hot, the fire of desires, is even more extreme than this. Therefore, you all, should encourage yourselves, to forever leave birth and death, then you will attain great peace.' At that time, the fire had already burned the Great King's body. At that time, the various kings, each held five hundred bottles of milk, to use to extinguish the fire.
。火滅之後，競共收骨，盛置金函，即于其上，便共起塔，懸繒幡蓋，及種種鈴供養塔廟。
時諸大眾，同時發聲，俱白佛言：「大凈飯王今已命終，神生何所？唯愿世尊，分別解說。」
於時，世尊告眾會曰：「父王凈飯，是清凈人，生凈居天。」眾會聞是語已，便舍愁毒。
佛說經竟，諸天龍神，及四天王、所將眷屬，世間人民，一切大眾為佛作禮，各自還去。
佛說凈飯王般涅槃經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：火熄滅之後，大家一起收集遺骨，裝在金色的容器中，就在那個地方，共同建造佛塔，懸掛絲綢幡蓋，以及各種鈴鐺來供養佛塔和寺廟。
當時，所有的大眾同時發出聲音，一起對佛說：『大凈飯王（Śuddhodana）現在已經去世，他的神識轉生到哪裡了？希望世尊（Bhagavan），能夠詳細地解說。』
這時，世尊告訴大眾說：『父王凈飯（Śuddhodana），是清凈之人，往生到凈居天（Śuddhāvāsa）。』大眾聽到這些話后，便放下了憂愁。
佛說完這部經后，諸天、龍神，以及四大天王（Caturmahārājakāyikas）、他們所帶領的眷屬，世間的人民，所有的大眾都向佛作禮，各自離開了。
《佛說凈飯王般涅槃經》
【English Translation】 English version: After the fire was extinguished, they all gathered the bones and placed them in a golden casket. Right there, they together built a stupa, hanging silk banners and canopies, and offering various bells to the stupa and temple.
At that time, all the assembly simultaneously raised their voices and said to the Buddha: 'Great King Śuddhodana (Śuddhodana, father of Siddhartha Gautama) has now passed away. Where has his spirit been reborn? We hope that the Bhagavan (Bhagavan, the Blessed One) will explain it in detail.'
At that time, the Bhagavan told the assembly: 'King Śuddhodana (Śuddhodana), my father, is a pure person and has been reborn in the Śuddhāvāsa (Śuddhāvāsa, Pure Abodes) heaven.' Upon hearing these words, the assembly relinquished their sorrow.
After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, the devas, nāgas, and the Four Heavenly Kings (Caturmahārājakāyikas, the Four Great Kings), along with their retinues, the people of the world, and all the assembly paid homage to the Buddha and departed.
