佛說灌洗佛形像經
西晉沙門釋法炬譯
爾時佛告摩訶剎頭諸天人民：「皆一心聽。」佛言：「人身難得，無為道亦然，佛世難值。吾本從阿僧祇劫時，身為白衣累劫積德，每生自克展轉五道，不貪財寶棄身施與無所愛惜。自致為王太子，以四月八日夜半明星出時，生墮地行七步，舉右手而言：『天上天下唯吾為尊，當爲天人作無上師。』太子生時地為大動，第一四天王，乃至梵天、忉利天王，其中諸天各持十二種香和湯雜種名花以浴太子。太子得成佛道，開現聖法濟度群氓。」
佛告諸天人民：「十方諸佛皆用四月八日夜半時生，十方諸佛皆用四月八日夜半時出家，入山學道。十方諸佛皆用四月八日夜半時成佛，十方諸佛皆用四月八日夜半時而般涅槃。」
佛言：「所以用四月八日者，以春夏之際殃罪悉畢，萬物普生毒氣未行，不寒不熱時氣和適，正是佛生之日。諸善男子、善女人，于佛滅后當至心念佛無量功德之力，浴佛形像如佛在時，得福無量不可稱數。」
佛言：「我本行菩薩道時，三十六返為天王釋，三十六反作轉輪聖王，三十六返作飛行皇帝。諸有佛

西晉沙門釋法炬譯
這時，佛告訴摩訶剎頭（Mahaksatru）諸天人民：『你們都要一心諦聽。』佛說：『人身難以獲得，無為之道也是如此，佛出世更是難以遇到。我從阿僧祇劫（asamkhya kalpa，無數劫）之前，身為在家居士，累劫積聚功德，每一生都自我約束，輾轉於五道之中，不貪戀財寶，捨棄自身施與他人，沒有什麼捨不得。最終成為王太子，在四月八日夜半明星出現時，降生落地行走七步，舉起右手說：『天上天下唯我為尊，應當為天人作無上導師。』太子降生時大地為之震動，第一四天王，乃至梵天、忉利天王（Trayastrimsa），其中的諸天各自拿著十二種香和湯，以及各種名花來沐浴太子。太子最終成就佛道，開顯聖法，救濟度化眾生。』
佛告訴諸天人民：『十方諸佛都是在四月八日夜半時降生，十方諸佛都是在四月八日夜半時出家，入山修道。十方諸佛都是在四月八日夜半時成佛，十方諸佛都是在四月八日夜半時而般涅槃（parinirvana，入滅）。』
佛說：『之所以用四月八日，是因為春夏交替之際，各種災殃罪過都已結束，萬物普遍生長，毒氣尚未流行，不冷不熱，氣候適宜，正是佛降生的日子。各位善男子、善女人，在佛滅度之後，應當至誠懇切地憶念佛無量的功德之力，沐浴佛的形像，如同佛在世時一樣，得到的福報無量無邊，不可稱數。』
佛說：『我過去行菩薩道時，曾三十六次做天王釋（Indra），三十六次做轉輪聖王（chakravartin），三十六次做飛行皇帝。所有佛
【English Translation】 English version The Sutra of Bathing the Buddha Image Spoken by the Buddha
Translated by the Shramana Dharmaraksa of the Western Jin Dynasty
At that time, the Buddha told Mahaksatru (great ruler) and all the gods and people: 'Listen attentively with one mind.' The Buddha said: 'It is difficult to obtain a human body, and so is the unconditioned path; it is rare to encounter the appearance of a Buddha in the world. From countless asamkhya kalpas (incalculable eons) ago, I was a layman, accumulating merit through many lifetimes. In each life, I disciplined myself, transmigrating through the five paths, not greedy for wealth, giving up my body to others, sparing nothing. Eventually, I became a crown prince, and on the eighth day of the fourth month, at midnight when the morning star appeared, I was born and walked seven steps, raising my right hand and saying: 'Above and below the heavens, I alone am the honored one; I shall be the supreme teacher of gods and humans.' When the prince was born, the earth shook greatly. The first four heavenly kings, and even Brahma and Trayastrimsa (the Thirty-three Heavens), each of the gods held twelve kinds of fragrant water and various kinds of famous flowers to bathe the prince. The prince eventually attained Buddhahood, revealed the sacred Dharma, and saved all beings.'
The Buddha told the gods and people: 'All Buddhas of the ten directions are born at midnight on the eighth day of the fourth month; all Buddhas of the ten directions renounce their homes and enter the mountains to practice the Way at midnight on the eighth day of the fourth month. All Buddhas of the ten directions attain Buddhahood at midnight on the eighth day of the fourth month; all Buddhas of the ten directions enter parinirvana (final nirvana) at midnight on the eighth day of the fourth month.'
The Buddha said: 'The reason for using the eighth day of the fourth month is that at the transition between spring and summer, all calamities and sins are finished, all things universally grow, poisonous vapors have not yet spread, it is neither cold nor hot, the climate is harmonious, and it is precisely the day of the Buddha's birth. All good men and good women, after the Buddha's extinction, should sincerely remember the immeasurable power of the Buddha's merits, and bathe the Buddha's image as if the Buddha were still alive, and the blessings obtained will be immeasurable and countless.'
The Buddha said: 'When I practiced the Bodhisattva path in the past, I was Indra (king of the gods) thirty-six times, a chakravartin (wheel-turning king) thirty-six times, and a flying emperor thirty-six times. All Buddhas
弟子信心善意者，當念十方諸佛功德善，若以香花雜物浴佛形像者所愿皆得，諸天龍神常隨擁護皆當證明。」
佛告諸弟子：「夫人身難得、經法難聞，其有天人能自減損妻子之分、五家財物，用浴佛形像者，如佛在時，所愿悉得。欲求度世取無為道生生不與死會者可得，欲求精進勇猛如釋迦文佛者可得，欲求如文殊師利阿惟越致菩薩者可得，欲求轉輪聖王飛行教化者可得，欲求辟支佛阿羅漢者可得，欲求永離三惡道者可得，欲求生天上人間富樂者可得，欲求百子千孫者可得，欲求長壽無病者可得。世間人民貪慾如海，寧割身上一臠肉，不肯出一錢物與人。人生時不持一錢來，死亦不持一錢去，財物故在世間，人死當獨去憶如此苦。乃浴佛形像者，持是功德生死相隨，無有斷期。」
佛言：「若人有一善之心，作是功德者，諸天善神、天龍八部、四天王等，僉然擁護。浴佛形像福報所生，常得清凈，從是因緣得成佛道(此下三十一行經文丹本所無，宋本自有，存之)。」
佛言：「持好香浴佛形像者，自得其福，智在清凈功德名聞。諸持好華散佛上者，自得其福，端政好色無有雙比。諸持繒幡上佛者，自得其福，在所從生當得自然好衣無極。」
佛言：「我累功積德行善至誠，持戒、忍辱、
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 弟子以信心和善意，應當憶念十方諸佛的功德和善行。如果用香、花等各種物品沐浴佛的形像，那麼所祈求的願望都能實現，諸天、龍神會常常跟隨擁護，並且都會加以證明。
佛告訴諸位弟子：『人身難以獲得，佛經佛法難以聽聞。如果有天人能夠減少自己對妻子兒女的眷戀，減少對五家（指水、火、盜賊、官府、不肖子孫）財物的執著，用來沐浴佛的形像，就像佛在世時一樣，所有的願望都能實現。想要脫離世俗，求取無為之道，生生世世不與死亡相會，可以實現；想要精進勇猛，像釋迦文佛（Sakyamuni Buddha）一樣，可以實現；想要像文殊師利（Manjusri）阿惟越致菩薩（Avaivartika Bodhisattva）一樣，可以實現；想要成為轉輪聖王（Cakravartin），飛行空中教化眾生，可以實現；想要成為辟支佛（Pratyekabuddha）或阿羅漢（Arhat），可以實現；想要永遠脫離三惡道（地獄、餓鬼、畜生），可以實現；想要生在天上或人間，享受富裕快樂，可以實現；想要擁有眾多子孫，可以實現；想要長壽無病，可以實現。世間人民的貪慾像大海一樣深廣，寧願割下身上的一塊肉，也不肯拿出一文錢財物給別人。人生來時沒有帶來一文錢，死去時也不會帶走一文錢，財物仍然留在世間，人死後只能獨自離去，回憶這些是多麼痛苦。如果能夠沐浴佛的形像，那麼所持有的這份功德會生死相隨，沒有斷絕的時候。』
佛說：『如果有人擁有一顆善良的心，做這樣的功德，那麼諸天善神、天龍八部（Devas, Nagas and the other eight kinds of supernatural beings）、四天王（Four Heavenly Kings）等，都會一起擁護他。沐浴佛的形像所產生的福報，會使人常常保持清凈，從這個因緣最終能夠成就佛道（以下三十一行的經文在丹本中沒有，宋本有，所以保留）。』
佛說：『用好的香來沐浴佛的形像，自己會得到福報，智慧清凈，功德名揚四方。用好的花來散在佛的身上，自己會得到福報，相貌端正美好，無人能比。用繒幡供養佛，自己會得到福報，無論投生到哪裡，都能自然得到美好的衣服，沒有窮盡。』
佛說：『我積累功德，行善至誠，持戒、忍辱、』
【English Translation】 English version A disciple with faith and good intentions should remember the merits and virtues of all Buddhas in the ten directions. If one uses incense, flowers, and various objects to bathe the Buddha's image, all wishes will be fulfilled, and the devas (gods) and nagas (dragons) will always follow and protect them, and they will all bear witness.
The Buddha told his disciples: 'It is difficult to obtain a human body, and it is difficult to hear the Dharma (teachings). If there are devas (gods) or humans who can reduce their attachment to their wives and children, and reduce their attachment to the wealth of the five families (referring to water, fire, thieves, government, and unfilial descendants), and use it to bathe the Buddha's image, just as when the Buddha was in the world, all wishes will be fulfilled. If one wants to escape the world, seek the unconditioned path, and not meet with death in life after life, it can be achieved; if one wants to be diligent and courageous, like Sakyamuni Buddha, it can be achieved; if one wants to be like Manjusri Avaivartika Bodhisattva, it can be achieved; if one wants to become a Cakravartin (Wheel-Turning King), flying in the sky to teach sentient beings, it can be achieved; if one wants to become a Pratyekabuddha (Solitary Buddha) or an Arhat (Worthy One), it can be achieved; if one wants to be forever free from the three evil realms (hell, hungry ghosts, animals), it can be achieved; if one wants to be born in the heavens or in the human world, enjoying wealth and happiness, it can be achieved; if one wants to have many children and grandchildren, it can be achieved; if one wants to have longevity and be free from illness, it can be achieved. The greed of the people in the world is as deep and vast as the sea; they would rather cut off a piece of flesh from their body than give a penny to others. When a person is born, they do not bring a penny with them, and when they die, they do not take a penny with them; wealth remains in the world, and when a person dies, they must leave alone, remembering how painful this is. If one can bathe the Buddha's image, then the merit held will accompany them through life and death, without end.'
The Buddha said: 'If a person has a good heart and performs such merit, then all the good devas (gods), the eight classes of devas and nagas (Devas, Nagas and the other eight kinds of supernatural beings), the Four Heavenly Kings, etc., will all protect them together. The blessings produced by bathing the Buddha's image will keep one pure, and from this cause and condition, one will eventually attain Buddhahood (the following thirty-one lines of scripture are not in the Dan edition, but are in the Song edition, so they are retained).'
The Buddha said: 'If one uses good incense to bathe the Buddha's image, one will receive blessings, wisdom will be pure, and merit will be renowned. If one uses good flowers to scatter on the Buddha, one will receive blessings, and one's appearance will be upright and beautiful, without equal. If one offers silken banners to the Buddha, one will receive blessings, and wherever one is born, one will naturally obtain good clothes without end.'
The Buddha said: 'I have accumulated merit, practiced good deeds with sincerity, observed precepts, endured insults,'
精進、一心、智慧，乃自致得作佛。今日賢者某甲皆為慈心好意，信向佛道欲求度脫，持種種香花浴佛形像，皆為七世父母五種親屬兄弟妻子在厄難中故、為十方五道中勤苦故、為佛人民愚癡不信佛道故，令其後世生為人，端好潔白眾人所敬，塵垢不著身。在所從生，常與佛會；在所從生，常與法會；在所從生，常與比丘僧會。令某甲明經，智慧曉了，佛十二部經、四阿含、安般守意、三十七品、四意止、四意斷、四神足、五根、五力、七覺、八直行道，若能至心求佛道者，疾得阿惟越致。
「令其得佛三十二相，八十種好紫磨金色。十種力、四無所畏、十八不共。口出八種音聲，飛行洞視在所至到。諸天、龍、鬼神、鬼子母官屬擁護其身，令行出入當得安隱。若行山中不逢虎狼，若入軍旅不被兵甲，若行江湖不逢風波。令床上無有病瘦者，當令縣官無呼召者，有妻子女產生難令得安隱。若行賈販財利百倍，眾邪惡氣不得妄干，水火盜賊怨家債主不得妄害。口舌消滅皆令厭伏，令其精進莫得中悔，行如菩薩得道如佛。」
佛說灌洗佛形像經
此經宋藏題云摩訶剎頭經聖堅譯，今按《開元錄》，宋藏錯亂，故依丹本改為灌洗佛形像經，法炬譯。又宋藏此經初首即云「摩訶剎等乃至二紙經文」，全是《

【English Translation】 English version: Diligence, one-pointedness of mind, and wisdom are the means by which one attains Buddhahood through one's own efforts. Today, the virtuous person so-and-so (referring to a specific person's name, same below) with a compassionate heart and good intentions, believes in the Buddha's path and desires liberation. Therefore, they use various fragrant flowers to bathe the Buddha's image, for the sake of their seven generations of parents, five kinds of relatives, siblings, and spouse to be free from suffering, for the sake of sentient beings in the ten directions and five realms to be free from hardship, and for the sake of the Buddha's people who are ignorant and do not believe in the Buddha's path, wishing that in their future lives, they will be reborn as humans with upright and beautiful appearances, pure and white, respected by all, and free from defilement. Wherever they are reborn, may they always meet the Buddha; wherever they are reborn, may they always meet the Dharma; wherever they are reborn, may they always meet the Sangha of Bhikkhus. May so-and-so understand the scriptures, possess wisdom, and comprehend the Buddha's twelve divisions of scriptures, the Four Agamas, Anapanasati (mindfulness of breathing), the Thirty-seven Factors of Enlightenment, the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, the Four Right Exertions, the Four Bases of Spiritual Power, the Five Roots, the Five Powers, the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, and the Eightfold Noble Path. If they can sincerely seek the Buddha's path, they will quickly attain Avaivartika (non-retrogression). May they attain the Buddha's Thirty-two Marks (of a Great Man), the Eighty Minor Marks, and a body of purple-gold color. May they possess the Ten Powers (of a Buddha), the Four Fearlessnesses, and the Eighteen Unique Qualities (of a Buddha). May their mouth emit eight kinds of sounds, and may they have the ability to fly and see everything, wherever they go. May the Devas, Nagas, gods, Hariti (a goddess) and her retinue protect their body, so that they may have peace and safety in their comings and goings. If they walk in the mountains, may they not encounter tigers or wolves; if they enter the army, may they not be harmed by weapons; if they sail on rivers and lakes, may they not encounter storms. May there be no sick or weak people in their beds, and may there be no summons from the government. May their wives have safe and smooth childbirths. If they engage in trade, may they gain a hundredfold profit, and may all evil influences not dare to interfere. May they not be harmed by floods, fires, thieves, enemies, or creditors. May slander be extinguished and all be subdued, may they be diligent in practice and never regret, may their conduct be like a Bodhisattva, and may they attain enlightenment like a Buddha. The Sutra on Bathing the Buddha's Image This sutra is titled 'Mahaksatru Sutra' in the Song Dynasty Tripitaka, translated by Sheng Jian.
