失譯人名今附東晉錄
昔有大國名曰薩羅，土地廣博嚴凈之處，中多人民富樂熾盛，工黠妍雅好盛文飾，多出珍寶五色玄黃。城郭樓閣街巷門室，金銀錯涂方圓凈好，繞城浴池中生蓮華，鳧雁、鴛鴦、鳩夷、羅鳥、孔雀、鸚鵡、鴹隨、鸕鶿，翻飛相逐皆在池中，晝夜棲止相和悲鳴。男女遊戲作倡妓樂，無有厭極樂不可言，自猗憍慢不解佛法，各自快心天下無雙。
佛在舍衛祇樹之園，佛見此國興樂乃爾，不惟無常生死之苦，貪濁色慾無有懈已。佛念彼國生死遂滋，不行權慧誰能度之？即作方便開化其心：「諸有色相以空應之，一切喜樂以苦應之，權行隨意令離想識。」
佛便現神如意三昧，放大光明靡所不照，感動八方及人非人、諸天龍神追侍在後；帝釋、梵天手執珍奇七寶之蓋獻御奉佛，彌勒、文殊、目連、羅云、阿難、離越、舍利弗諸弟子菩薩，無數千人皆悉隨從，俱適彼國，百鳥畜獸相和悲鳴，倡伎眾樂不鼓自鳴，枯木諸樹皆自更生，溝渠江海龜鱉魭䰿，水性之屬莫不忻懌，三千國土皆大震動，地生蓮華大如車輪，珍寶琉璃轉相雜成，其色甚妙光耀人目。
佛放光明普
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 《佛說薩羅國經》
（佚名，今附東晉錄）
過去有個大國名叫薩羅（Śālla，地名），土地廣闊，環境優美，非常乾淨，國內人民眾多，富裕快樂，生活興盛，工匠聰明，女子美麗，喜歡華麗的裝飾，出產各種珍寶，顏色有五種，包括黑和黃。城墻、樓閣、街巷、門室，都用金銀裝飾，方正圓潤，乾淨美好，環繞城市的浴池中生長著蓮花，野鴨、大雁、鴛鴦、鳩夷鳥、羅鳥、孔雀、鸚鵡、鹙鷺、鸕鶿等鳥類，上下翻飛，互相追逐，都在池中，日夜棲息，發出和諧的鳴叫。男女嬉戲玩樂，唱歌跳舞，沒有厭倦的時候，快樂得無法用語言形容，他們自以為是，驕傲自滿，不瞭解佛法，各自感到快樂，認為天下沒有誰能比得上他們。
佛陀在舍衛城（Śrāvastī）的祇樹給孤獨園（Jetavana-anāthapindika-ārāma）中，佛陀看到這個國家如此享樂，不考慮無常和生死的痛苦，貪戀世俗的慾望，沒有停止的時候。佛陀想到這個國家的人們因為生死而不斷增長煩惱，如果不運用權巧和智慧，誰能度化他們呢？於是佛陀就想出方便之法來開啟他們的心智：『一切有形有色的事物都應該用空的觀念來對待，一切喜樂都應該用苦的觀念來對待，權巧地運用方法，隨順眾生的意願，使他們脫離妄想和分別。』
佛陀於是顯現神通，進入如意三昧（cintāmaṇi-samādhi），放出巨大的光明，照耀一切地方，感動了八方以及人和非人、諸天龍神，他們都跟隨在佛陀身後；帝釋天（Indra）、梵天（Brahmā）手持珍奇的七寶華蓋，獻給佛陀；彌勒菩薩（Maitreya）、文殊菩薩（Mañjuśrī）、目犍連（Maudgalyāyana）、羅睺羅（Rāhula）、阿難（Ānanda）、離越（Revata）、舍利弗（Śāriputra）等弟子菩薩，無數千人都跟隨在佛陀身後，一同前往那個國家，各種鳥類和動物發出和諧的鳴叫，歌唱和音樂不用敲打就自然發出聲音，枯萎的樹木都自己重新生長出來，溝渠江海中的烏龜、鱉、魚等水生動物，沒有不感到歡喜的，三千國土都發生巨大的震動，地上生長出像車輪一樣大的蓮花，各種珍寶琉璃互相交錯形成，顏色非常美妙，光芒耀眼。
【English Translation】 English version The Buddha Speaks of the Śālla Country Sutra
(Translator unknown, now appended to the Eastern Jin record)
In the past, there was a great country named Śālla (Śālla, a place name), with vast lands and beautiful, clean surroundings. It was densely populated, prosperous, and joyful. The artisans were clever, the women were beautiful, and they loved elaborate decorations. It produced various treasures in five colors, including black and yellow. The city walls, pavilions, streets, and gates were adorned with gold and silver, square and round, clean and beautiful. Around the city were bathing ponds where lotuses grew, and various birds such as ducks, geese, mandarin ducks, Jiu Yi birds, Luo birds, peacocks, parrots, herons, and cormorants flew up and down, chasing each other in the ponds, resting day and night, and singing harmoniously. Men and women played and made merry, singing and dancing without ever tiring, their joy beyond description. They were self-righteous, arrogant, and did not understand the Buddha's teachings, each feeling happy and thinking that no one in the world could compare to them.
The Buddha was in the Jetavana-anāthapindika-ārāma (Jetavana-anāthapindika-ārāma) in Śrāvastī (Śrāvastī). The Buddha saw this country indulging in such pleasures, not considering the impermanence and suffering of life and death, and clinging to worldly desires without ceasing. The Buddha thought that the people of this country were constantly increasing their afflictions due to birth and death, and if skillful means and wisdom were not used, who could liberate them? So the Buddha devised a way to open their minds: 'All forms and appearances should be treated with the concept of emptiness, and all joys should be treated with the concept of suffering. Skillfully use methods, according to the wishes of sentient beings, to free them from delusion and discrimination.'
The Buddha then manifested supernatural powers, entered the cintāmaṇi-samādhi (cintāmaṇi-samādhi), and emitted great light, illuminating all places, moving the eight directions and humans, non-humans, gods, and dragons, who all followed behind the Buddha. Indra (Indra) and Brahmā (Brahmā) held precious seven-jeweled canopies and offered them to the Buddha. Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya), Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva (Mañjuśrī), Maudgalyāyana (Maudgalyāyana), Rāhula (Rāhula), Ānanda (Ānanda), Revata (Revata), Śāriputra (Śāriputra), and other disciples and Bodhisattvas, countless thousands, all followed behind the Buddha, together going to that country. Various birds and animals sang harmoniously, and songs and music played naturally without being struck. Withered trees all grew anew, and aquatic creatures in the ditches, rivers, and seas, such as turtles, soft-shelled turtles, and fish, were all delighted. The three thousand lands all shook greatly, and lotuses as large as chariot wheels grew from the ground, with various jewels and lapis lazuli intertwined, their colors extremely beautiful and their light dazzling.
有所照，諸在窈冥勤苦之處，皆悉開闢無所掛礙。國王、大臣、長者居士、中宮太子、列女、美人、國民大小莫不悚然：「今日何故，乃有是現？自在宮內五樂自娛，妓女自拊快樂無過，今所見者，世所希有。」
時，持地神踴從地出，現王殿前嘆佛功德：「世尊現變光逾日月，諸天欽仰釋梵所尊，世垢已除脫人生死，其見佛者罪釁消除，其供佛者福倍無量，殖種德本，後生天上，發一慧意所得無限，可往見佛咨受法言。」
王后轉開意內歡然：「如來降神在吾國界，眾生蒙度。」非但己身，一切群從並餘眾輩，皆悉出城欣喜踴躍。
佛之威神，令是國界廓然大明洞達無邊，王及人民悉往見佛，快哉福根善心生焉！睹佛尊顏金光暉曜，奮威振躍吉祥莊飾，相明清澈志寂淡定。王及人民皆前禮佛，頭面稽首，繞尊三匝卻在前住，具自陳說：「久沈貪濁迷惑聲色，不見如來供事問法。」
佛言：「大善！王及臣民、中宮太子皆平安乎？」
王言：「蒙得佛恩，皆悉如宜。」
佛言：「王貪濁色慾，恣心無厭，賦斂財寶，肴膳兼味，園觀浴池遊戲無極，不念無常，何益萬分？人為欲縛不惟後世，即致泥犁畜生之屬，但坐無厭燒炙形殘，饑不及餐渴無水漿，屏營愁毒迭互相然，皆坐無慮
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：光明照耀之處，所有處於幽暗困苦的地方，都全部開闢，沒有任何阻礙。國王、大臣、長者居士、中宮太子、後宮嬪妃、美人、國民無論大小，無不驚恐：『今天是什麼緣故，竟然出現這樣的景象？我們在宮內享受五種音樂的快樂，自我撫慰，快樂無比，但現在所見到的，是世間罕見的。』 這時，持地神（守護大地的神）從地涌出，出現在國王殿前，讚歎佛的功德：『世尊（對佛的尊稱）顯現的光明勝過日月，諸天（天神）欽佩仰慕，釋梵（帝釋天和梵天）都尊敬他，世間的污垢已經去除，脫離人生的生死輪迴，見到佛的人罪過消除，供養佛的人福報增加無數倍，種植德行的根本，死後可以升到天上，發出一絲智慧的意念，所得的利益也是無限的，應該前去見佛，請教佛法。』 王后內心歡喜，說道：『如來（佛的稱號）降臨在我們的國界，眾生得以被救度。』不僅是她自己，所有的隨從以及其他眾人，都全部出城，歡喜雀躍。 佛的威神，使這個國界變得廣闊明亮，通透明徹，沒有邊際。國王和人民都前去見佛，真是快樂啊，福德的根源和善良的心念都產生了！看到佛尊貴的容顏，金光閃耀，威嚴奮發，吉祥莊嚴，相好光明清澈，心志寂靜淡定。國王和人民都上前禮拜佛，頭面觸地，繞佛三圈，然後站在前面，詳細地陳述說：『我們長期沉溺於貪婪污濁之中，迷惑于聲色犬馬，沒有見到如來（佛的稱號），供養和請教佛法。』 佛說：『很好！國王以及臣民、中宮太子都平安嗎？』 國王說：『蒙受佛的恩德，一切都很好。』 佛說：『國王貪婪污濁，放縱心意沒有厭足，徵收財物，講究美味佳餚，園林水池遊玩沒有節制，不念及無常迅速到來，這樣即使擁有一萬分的財富又有什麼用呢？人被慾望束縛，不考慮後世，就會墮入地獄、畜生等惡道，只因爲沒有滿足的慾望，遭受燒烤形體殘缺的痛苦，飢餓時沒有食物，口渴時沒有水喝，驚慌失措，愁苦怨恨，互相殘害，都是因為沒有考慮長遠啊。』
【English Translation】 English version: Where the light shines, all places in darkness and suffering are opened up without any hindrance. The king, ministers, elders, laymen, the crown prince, consorts, beauties, and the people, great and small, were all alarmed: 'What is the reason for this phenomenon today? We enjoy the pleasures of the five kinds of music in the palace, comforting ourselves with unparalleled joy, but what we see now is rare in the world.' At that time, Dharani (Earth-holding) deity emerged from the earth and appeared before the king's palace, praising the Buddha's merits: 'The light manifested by the World Honored One (a title for the Buddha) surpasses the sun and moon. The devas (gods) admire and revere him, and Sakra (Indra) and Brahma (the creator god) respect him. Worldly defilements have been removed, and one is liberated from the cycle of birth and death. Those who see the Buddha have their sins eliminated, and those who make offerings to the Buddha receive immeasurable blessings. Planting the roots of virtue will lead to rebirth in the heavens. A single thought of wisdom brings infinite benefits. You should go to see the Buddha and seek the Dharma (teachings) from him.' The queen was overjoyed and said: 'The Tathagata (another title for the Buddha) has descended into our kingdom, and sentient beings will be saved.' Not only herself, but all her attendants and the rest of the people went out of the city, rejoicing and leaping for joy. The Buddha's majestic power made the kingdom vast, bright, and boundless. The king and the people all went to see the Buddha, and how joyful it was that the roots of merit and good thoughts arose! They beheld the Buddha's noble countenance, radiant with golden light, majestic and adorned with auspicious signs, his features clear and serene, his mind tranquil and composed. The king and the people all prostrated themselves before the Buddha, touching their heads to the ground, circumambulated him three times, and then stood before him, explaining in detail: 'We have long been immersed in greed and defilement, deluded by sights and sounds, and have not seen the Tathagata (another title for the Buddha) to make offerings and ask about the Dharma (teachings).' The Buddha said: 'Excellent! Are the king, ministers, and the crown prince all well?' The king said: 'Thanks to the Buddha's grace, everything is well.' The Buddha said: 'The king is greedy and defiled, indulging his desires without satisfaction, levying taxes and treasures, indulging in delicacies, and engaging in endless games in gardens and bathing pools, without thinking of the impermanence that comes quickly. What good is it to have even ten thousand parts of wealth? People are bound by desires and do not think of the afterlife, which leads to the realms of hell and animals. Just because of insatiable desires, they suffer the pain of being burned and having their bodies mutilated, having no food when hungry and no water when thirsty, panicking, grieving, and harming each other, all because they do not consider the long term.'
逆心犯惡。在世雖富深宮尊位，是悉無常如夢已寤，想命獨生無一隨者。」
王前長跪啟白：「世尊！以何方便，得離此罪？佛為法王一切所歸，佛為正尊眾生宗仰，愿見拯舉得免此苦。」
佛言：「善哉！王立信本，施行四事，可得離罪：一曰、所有施與無所愛惜；二曰、少欲瞋恚割損貪食；三曰、聞佛經戒信受不犯；四曰、敬慎法師厚善知識；是為四事可得清凈。」
王心生念欲施大檀，便前禮尊叉手白佛：「愿屈光儀到宮小飯。」佛即默然，已受其請。
王歸宮內敕臣官屬：「佛者難值如優曇缽華，今已得之當好供養，出諸華香幢幡伎樂，莊嚴宮室掃灑令凈，城中街里皆施幡蓋。」
中宮夫人及國人民，悉受王教整頓床座，即敕太官作百味之食，調和香甘便行迎佛：「供具已辦，愿可勞神。」
佛即用時，于坐而得，便放威神感動眾會，四部弟子百千天人，及諸龍神、犍沓和等眷屬圍繞群從隨佛，四天前導釋梵擁蓋，菩薩大士侍佛入城。
佛蹈門閫境界震動，盲聾瘖啞被毒病瘦，皆悉完具平復如故，箜篌樂器不鼓自鳴。佛放光明悉照宮室，城郭舍宅悉作琉璃，內外洞達莫不見佛。
佛前上殿就師子座，王及太子、國臣人民，即下飯具手自斟酌，飯食已訖便行
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 『逆心犯惡。在世雖然富貴，身居深宮尊位，這一切都是無常的，如同夢醒一般，想像生命獨自而來，沒有一樣東西可以隨身帶走。』
國王上前長跪稟告：『世尊（Bhagavan，對佛的尊稱）！用什麼方法，可以脫離這種罪過？佛是法王（Dharmaraja，佛法的統治者），一切眾生都歸向于您，佛是真正的至尊，是眾生的宗仰，希望您能救助我，使我免除這種苦難。』
佛說：『很好！國王樹立信心的根本，施行四件事，就可以脫離罪過：第一，將所有的一切都佈施出去，不要吝惜；第二，減少慾望和嗔恚，克制貪婪的飲食；第三，聽聞佛經和戒律，信受奉行而不違犯；第四，尊敬謹慎的法師和良善的知識。這就是可以得到清凈的四件事。』
國王心中生起念頭，想要舉行盛大的佈施，便上前禮敬世尊，合掌稟告佛陀：『希望您能屈尊降臨我的宮殿，用一頓便飯。』佛陀默然不語，表示已經接受了他的邀請。
國王回到宮中，告誡臣子官吏：『佛陀很難遇到，就像優曇缽花（Udumbara，傳說中的稀有花朵）一樣，現在既然已經遇到了，應當好好供養，拿出各種鮮花香料、幢幡伎樂，莊嚴宮室，打掃乾淨，城中街道里巷都懸掛幡蓋。』
中宮夫人和全國人民，都接受國王的教令，整理床鋪座位，隨即命令太官準備各種美味佳餚，調和香甜可口的食物，然後前去迎接佛陀：『供養的器具已經準備完畢，希望您能移駕。』
佛陀到了用餐的時間，從座位上起身，便放出威神，感動了所有與會大眾，四部弟子（比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷）和成百上千的天人，以及諸龍神、犍沓和（Gandharva，天上的樂神）等眷屬圍繞跟隨佛陀，四大天王（Caturmaharajakayikas，佛教的護法神）在前面引導，釋提桓因（Śakra，忉利天之主）和梵天（Brahma，色界天的天主）擁護著佛陀，菩薩大士侍奉佛陀進入城中。
佛陀踏入門檻，境界震動，盲人、聾人、啞巴、身中劇毒、身患疾病、身體瘦弱的人，全都恢復健康，箜篌樂器不用敲打自己發出聲音。佛陀放出光明，照亮所有宮室，城郭舍宅全都變成琉璃，內外通透明亮，沒有看不到佛陀的。
佛陀走到殿前，登上獅子座，國王和太子、國中大臣、人民，隨即擺下飯食，親手斟酌，飯食完畢，便開始……
【English Translation】 English version: 'Reversing the mind and committing evil. Although rich and in a high position in the world, residing in deep palaces, all this is impermanent, like awakening from a dream. Imagine life coming alone, with nothing to take along.'
The king knelt before the Buddha and said, 'Bhagavan (term of respect for the Buddha)! By what means can I be freed from this sin? The Buddha is the Dharmaraja (ruler of the Dharma), to whom all beings turn. The Buddha is the true supreme, the refuge of all beings. I hope you can save me and free me from this suffering.'
The Buddha said, 'Excellent! If the king establishes the root of faith and practices these four things, he can be freed from sin: First, give away all possessions without being stingy; second, reduce desires and anger, and restrain greedy eating; third, listen to the Buddha's teachings and precepts, believe and practice them without violating them; fourth, respect and be cautious of Dharma masters and good advisors. These are the four things by which one can attain purity.'
The king had the thought of wanting to make a great offering, so he stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said to the Buddha with his palms together, 'I hope you will condescend to grace my palace with a small meal.' The Buddha remained silent, indicating that he had accepted the invitation.
The king returned to the palace and instructed his ministers and officials, 'The Buddha is difficult to encounter, like the Udumbara flower (a legendary rare flower). Now that we have encountered him, we should make offerings well. Bring out all kinds of flowers, incense, banners, and music, decorate the palace, sweep and clean it, and hang banners and canopies in the streets and alleys of the city.'
The queen and the people of the country all received the king's instructions, arranged the beds and seats, and then ordered the cooks to prepare all kinds of delicious food, blending fragrant and sweet flavors, and then went to welcome the Buddha: 'The offerings are ready, I hope you can move your divine presence.'
When it was time for the Buddha to eat, he arose from his seat and emitted a majestic light that moved all those present. The fourfold assembly (bhikshus, bhikshunis, upasakas, upasikas) and hundreds of thousands of devas, as well as the dragon gods, Gandharvas (heavenly musicians), and other retinue surrounded and followed the Buddha. The Four Heavenly Kings (Caturmaharajakayikas, guardians of Buddhism) led the way, and Śakra (ruler of the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven) and Brahma (lord of the Form Realm) supported the Buddha. Bodhisattvas attended the Buddha as he entered the city.
When the Buddha stepped over the threshold, the realm shook, and the blind, deaf, mute, those poisoned, sick, and emaciated were all restored to health. The konghou instruments played music without being struck. The Buddha emitted light that illuminated all the palaces, and the city walls and houses all turned into lapis lazuli, transparent inside and out, so that everyone could see the Buddha.
The Buddha went to the front of the hall and ascended the lion throne. The king, the prince, the ministers, and the people of the country then set out the food and personally served it. After the meal was finished, they began...
澡水，一切人民眾坐已定。王取小機前坐聽經，佛轉法輪說不退轉，王即歡喜以衣奉佛，其價千萬世所希有，所散之衣懸在虛空，便於佛上化成華蓋，交露七寶悉皆垂珠，從是垂珠出其光明，遍照十方無數佛土。王及臣民、後宮太子、夫人、美女合萬餘人，見是變化莫不踴躍，皆發無上正真道意，八百天神得不起法忍，五千菩薩立不退轉，無數千人皆興德本，壽終已后皆生天上。
佛語阿難：「是王供事五百餘佛，惠施財寶，等行慈哀，尊法不倦，是當來劫當得作佛，號名慧光如來、至真、平等正覺；是國人民及諸夫人，當承其福悉當得佛。」
王聞授決踴在空中，現身離地百四十丈，從上來下嘆佛功德：「佛者，甚尊為眾作本，其德若天無所不覆。」
國人八千聞授王決，善發凈心願為菩薩。
佛說經訖，一切眾會及人非人，莫不歡喜。世尊權道，所化如是。
佛說薩羅國經
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本： 洗浴完畢后，所有民眾都已就座。國王取來小矮桌在佛前坐下聽經。佛陀開始轉法輪，宣說不退轉之法。國王聽后非常歡喜，便用自己的衣服供奉佛陀，這件衣服價值千萬，世間罕有。所散之衣懸掛在虛空中，在佛陀上方化成華蓋，交錯顯現七寶，全部垂掛著珍珠。從這些垂掛的珍珠中發出光明，遍照十方無數佛土。國王以及臣民、後宮太子、夫人、美女等一萬多人，見到這種變化，無不歡欣鼓舞，都發起了無上正真道意。八百天神獲得了不起法忍，五千菩薩證得不退轉，無數千人都種下了善根，壽命終結后都將往生天上。
佛陀告訴阿難（Ananda）：『這位國王曾經供養過五百多位佛陀，佈施財寶，平等地行慈悲，尊重佛法而不懈怠。他將在未來劫中成佛，佛號為慧光如來（Huiguang Tathagata）、至真（Supreme Truth）、平等正覺（Perfectly Enlightened）；這個國家的人民以及各位夫人，都將承蒙他的福報，全部都能成佛。』
國王聽到佛陀的授記，歡喜地跳躍到空中，身體離地一百四十丈，從空中降下，讚歎佛陀的功德：『佛陀，您是如此尊貴，是眾生的根本，您的德行如同天一樣，無所不覆蓋。』
國內八千人聽到佛陀對國王的授記，都發起了清凈之心，發願成為菩薩。
佛陀說完這部經，所有在場的聽眾，包括人和非人，沒有不歡喜的。世尊的權巧方便，所教化就是如此。
《佛說薩羅國經》（The Sutra Spoken by the Buddha on the Country of Salo） 《佛說薩羅國經》（The Sutra Spoken by the Buddha on the Country of Salo）
【English Translation】 English version: After the bathing was complete, all the people were seated. The king took a small stool and sat before the Buddha to listen to the teachings. The Buddha began to turn the Dharma wheel, expounding the Dharma of non-retrogression. The king, hearing this, was overjoyed and offered his own clothing to the Buddha, clothing worth millions, rare in the world. The scattered clothing hung in the void, transforming above the Buddha into a jeweled canopy, interwoven with the seven treasures, all hung with pearls. From these hanging pearls emanated light, illuminating countless Buddha lands in the ten directions. The king, along with his ministers, palace princes, consorts, beautiful women, and others, totaling over ten thousand people, seeing this transformation, were all overjoyed and generated the unsurpassed, true, and right mind of enlightenment. Eight hundred devas (deities) attained the patience of non-arising dharmas, five thousand bodhisattvas (enlightenment beings) established themselves in non-retrogression, and countless thousands planted roots of virtue, all to be reborn in the heavens after the end of their lives.
The Buddha said to Ananda (one of the principal disciples of the Buddha): 'This king has made offerings to over five hundred Buddhas, bestowing wealth and treasures, equally practicing compassion, and respecting the Dharma without weariness. He will become a Buddha in a future kalpa (aeon), with the name Huiguang Tathagata (Tathagata of Wisdom Light), the Supremely True, the Perfectly Enlightened One; the people of this country and the consorts will all receive his blessings and all will be able to become Buddhas.'
The king, hearing the Buddha's prediction, joyfully leaped into the air, his body rising one hundred and forty zhang (an ancient Chinese unit of measurement) above the ground. Descending from the air, he praised the Buddha's merits: 'The Buddha is so venerable, the root of all beings, his virtue is like the sky, covering all without exception.'
Eight thousand people in the country, hearing the Buddha's prediction for the king, generated pure minds and vowed to become bodhisattvas.
After the Buddha finished speaking this sutra, all those present, including humans and non-humans, were filled with joy. Such is the skillful means of the World Honored One, and such is what he teaches.
