如是我聞：

一時世尊在憍睒彌國瞿師羅林中，爾時有大尊者名曰尊那，來詣佛所。到已致敬頭面禮足，住立一面而白佛言：「世尊！無盡功德還可得不？唯愿世尊為我敷演。」

爾時世尊告大尊者尊那言：「善哉善哉！汝能問于如來無盡功德。汝今諦聽，當爲汝說。尊那！此無盡功德甚深微妙名稱普聞，若人歸心獲大果報，而此功德乃有七種，名聞普遍甚深廣大。若善男子善女人，發至誠心能具足此法，是人於四威儀中，恒得增長無盡功德，所增功德不可思議不可稱量。何等為七？

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本：《佛說尊那經》

如是我聞：

一時，世尊在憍睒彌國（Kauśāmbī）的瞿師羅林（Ghosilarama）中。當時，有一位大尊者名叫尊那（Cunda），來到佛陀所在的地方。到達后，他向佛陀致敬，以頭面禮拜佛足，然後站立在一旁，對佛陀說：『世尊！無盡的功德還可以獲得嗎？唯愿世尊為我詳細解說。』

這時，世尊告訴大尊者尊那說：『善哉！善哉！你能夠向如來詢問無盡的功德。你現在仔細聽好，我將為你解說。尊那！這無盡的功德非常深奧微妙，名稱廣為流傳，如果有人真心歸向，就能獲得巨大的果報。而這種功德有七種，名聲普遍，非常深遠廣大。如果善男子、善女人，以至誠之心能夠具足這些法，這個人在行、住、坐、臥四種威儀中，都能恒常增長無盡的功德，所增長的功德不可思議，不可稱量。是哪七種呢？』

『尊那！如果有善男子、善女人，以大信心佈施園林池沼，供給四方眾僧經行遊止。尊那！這是第一種無盡的功德，有大的果報，得到大的稱讚，名聲普遍，非常深遠廣大。如果善男子、善女人能夠具足這種法，這個人在行、住、坐、臥四種威儀中，都能恒常增長無盡的功德，所增長的功德不可思議，不可稱量。』

『再者，尊那！如果有善男子、善女人，以大信心，在那林中建立精舍，讓眾僧能夠安住。尊那！這是第二種無盡的功德，有大的果報，乃至名聲普遍，非常深遠廣大。如果善男子、善女人能夠具足這種法，這個人在行、住、坐、臥四種威儀中，

【English Translation】 English version: The Buddha Speaks the Cunda Sutra

Thus have I heard:

At one time, the World-Honored One was in the Ghosilarama (Ghosilarama: Ghosila Grove) in Kauśāmbī (Kauśāmbī: an ancient Indian city). At that time, there was a great venerable one named Cunda (Cunda: name of a venerable monk), who came to the place where the Buddha was. Having arrived, he paid homage, bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, stood to one side, and said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One! Can endless merit still be obtained? I wish the World-Honored One would explain it to me in detail.'

At that time, the World-Honored One said to the great venerable Cunda: 'Excellent! Excellent! You are able to ask the Tathagata about endless merit. Now listen carefully, and I will explain it to you. Cunda! This endless merit is very profound and subtle, and its name is widely known. If a person sincerely turns to it, they will obtain great rewards. And this merit is of seven kinds, its fame is universal, very deep and vast. If a good man or good woman, with a sincere heart, can fulfill these dharmas, that person, in the four kinds of deportment (walking, standing, sitting, and lying down), will constantly increase endless merit, and the merit increased will be inconceivable and immeasurable. What are the seven?'

'Cunda! If there is a good man or good woman who, with great faith, donates gardens, forests, ponds, and marshes, providing for the Sangha from all directions to walk, practice, and rest. Cunda! This is the first kind of endless merit, with great rewards, receiving great praise, its fame is universal, very deep and vast. If a good man or good woman can fulfill this dharma, that person, in the four kinds of deportment, will constantly increase endless merit, and the merit increased will be inconceivable and immeasurable.'

'Furthermore, Cunda! If there is a good man or good woman who, with great faith, establishes monasteries in those forests, allowing the Sangha to dwell in peace. Cunda! This is the second kind of endless merit, with great rewards, even to the extent that its fame is universal, very deep and vast. If a good man or good woman can fulfill this dharma, that person, in the four kinds of deportment,

恒得增長無盡功德，所增功德不可思議不可稱量。

「複次尊那！若有善男子善女人，發大信心，或見霜雪嚴凝風雨寒冷，而見是已，便能修撰種種飲食、湯藥、臥具、衣物、鞋履等，于眾僧中供給供養。如是眾僧風雨不侵不受寒冷，承是供養得大安樂。尊那！此是第七無盡功德，有大果報，乃至名聞普遍甚深廣大。若善男子善女人，發志誠心能具足此法，是人於四威儀中，恒得增長無盡功德，所增功德不可思議不可稱量。

「尊那！如是七種無盡功德法，若有善男子善女人，發至誠心具足此法，所獲無盡功德不可思議不可稱量，功德甚多，名大功德蘊。尊那！譬如五大河恒流其水，所謂：殑伽河、閻母那河、薩啰喻河、愛啰嚩帝河、末呬河。而此河水不可限量，如是河水乃至盛水之器，百數千數百千億數，其水甚多，名為水蘊；無盡功德亦復如是！

「尊那！此七種無盡功德法悉皆具足，是善男子善女人，所獲功德不可思議不可稱量，具大名聞及大果報，功德甚多，名為大功德蘊。」

爾時大尊者尊那復白佛言：「世尊！此無盡功德，若人具足此法真實不虛，獲大果報具大稱讚，名聞普遍甚深廣大？」

佛告大尊者尊那言：「如汝所說，實獲此無盡功德，果報如是！」

佛言：「尊那！復有七種無盡功德法，有大

【現代漢語翻譯】不可稱量。

『複次，尊那（Cunda，人名）！如果有善男子、善女人，發起大信心，看到霜雪嚴寒凝結，風雨交加，天氣寒冷，因此便能準備各種飲食、湯藥、臥具、衣物、鞋子等，在眾僧中供給供養。這樣，眾僧就不會受到風雨侵襲，不受寒冷，承受這些供養而得到極大的安樂。尊那！這是第七種無盡功德，有極大的果報，乃至名聲傳遍，非常深廣。如果善男子、善女人，以真誠的心能夠具足這種做法，這個人在行住坐臥四種威儀中，都能不斷增長無盡的功德，所增長的功德不可思議，不可稱量。

『尊那！像這樣七種無盡功德法，如果有善男子、善女人，以至誠的心具足這些做法，所獲得的無盡功德不可思議，不可稱量，功德非常多，稱為大功德蘊。尊那！譬如五大河流不停地流淌，它們是：殑伽河（Ganga，恒河）、閻母那河（Yamuna，亞穆納河）、薩啰喻河（Sarayu，薩拉यु河）、愛啰嚩帝河（Iravati，伊洛瓦底江）、末呬河（Mahi，馬希河）。這些河水不可斗量，乃至用成百上千、成百千億的器皿來盛水，水量也非常多，稱為水蘊；無盡功德也像這樣！』

『尊那！這七種無盡功德法全部具足，這位善男子、善女人，所獲得的功德不可思議，不可稱量，具有很大的名聲和很大的果報，功德非常多，稱為大功德蘊。』

這時，大尊者尊那又對佛說：『世尊！這種無盡功德，如果有人具足這種做法，真實不虛，獲得很大的果報，具有很大的稱讚，名聲傳遍，非常深廣嗎？』

佛告訴大尊者尊那說：『正如你所說，確實能獲得這種無盡功德，果報就是這樣！』

佛說：『尊那！還有七種無盡功德法，具有很大的…

【English Translation】 Immeasurable.

『Furthermore, Cunda (name of a person)! If there are good men and good women who generate great faith, and upon seeing the frost and snow severely congealed, the wind and rain cold, they are then able to prepare various foods, medicines, bedding, clothing, shoes, and so on, and provide offerings to the Sangha. In this way, the Sangha will not be invaded by wind and rain, nor suffer from the cold, and will receive great joy from these offerings. Cunda! This is the seventh inexhaustible merit, with great karmic rewards, even to the extent that the reputation spreads widely and deeply. If good men and good women, with sincere hearts, are able to fully practice this Dharma, then such a person will constantly increase inexhaustible merit in the four dignities (walking, standing, sitting, and lying down), and the merit increased will be inconceivable and immeasurable.』

『Cunda! Like these seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious Dharmas, if there are good men and good women who, with sincere hearts, fully practice these Dharmas, the inexhaustible merit they obtain will be inconceivable and immeasurable, and the merit will be very great, called a great accumulation of merit. Cunda! For example, the five great rivers constantly flow with their water, namely: the Ganga River (Ganga, the Ganges), the Yamuna River (Yamuna, the Yamuna), the Sarayu River (Sarayu, the Sarayu), the Iravati River (Iravati, the Irrawaddy River), and the Mahi River (Mahi, the Mahi River). And this river water cannot be measured, even if hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, or hundreds of millions of vessels are used to hold the water, the amount of water is still very large, called a water accumulation; inexhaustible merit is also like this!』

『Cunda! If these seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious Dharmas are all fully practiced, the merit obtained by these good men and good women will be inconceivable and immeasurable, with great fame and great karmic rewards, and the merit will be very great, called a great accumulation of merit.』

At that time, the great Venerable Cunda again said to the Buddha: 『World Honored One! If a person fully practices this inexhaustible merit, truly and without falsehood, will they obtain great karmic rewards, have great praise, and have a reputation that spreads widely and deeply?』

The Buddha told the great Venerable Cunda: 『As you say, one will indeed obtain this inexhaustible merit, and the karmic rewards will be like this!』

The Buddha said: 『Cunda! There are also seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious Dharmas, with great…

「尊那！如是七種無盡功德法，若有善男子善女人能具足此法，所獲功德不可限量。尊那！此七種無盡功德法，若有善男子善女人，發至誠心能具足此法，所獲無盡功德不可限量。如是功德名聞稱讚及大果報功德甚多，名為大功德蘊。

「複次尊那！譬如有五大河恒流其水，所謂：殑伽河、閻母那河、薩啰喻河、愛啰嚩帝河、末呬河。而此河水不可限量，如是河水乃至盛水之器，百數千數百千億數，其水甚多，名為水蘊；無盡功德亦復如是！

「尊那！此七種無盡功德法悉皆具足，是善男子善女人，所獲功德不可思議不可稱量，具大名聞及大果報，功德甚多，名為大功德蘊。」

爾時世尊而說頌曰：

「清凈修禪行，　　唯修聖蹟中；　采寶無過海，　　如河濟有情。　河水無邊際，　　眾流還復源；　佈施獲多福，　　如河常流海。」

爾時大尊者尊那聞佛說已，歡喜作禮，信受奉行。

佛說尊那經

【現代漢語翻譯】現代漢語譯本『尊那（Cunda）！有這七種無盡功德之法，如果有善男子、善女人能夠具備這些法，所獲得的功德是不可估量的。尊那（Cunda）！這七種無盡功德之法，如果有善男子、善女人，以至誠之心能夠具備這些法，所獲得的無盡功德是不可估量的。這樣的功德，名聲傳揚，讚歎不絕，以及巨大的果報，功德非常多，被稱為大功德蘊。』『再者，尊那（Cunda）！譬如有五條大河恒常流動，它們是：殑伽河（Ganges River）、閻母那河（Yamuna River）、薩啰喻河（Sarayu River）、愛啰嚩帝河（Iravati River）、末呬河（Mahi River）。這些河水是不可估量的，如同這些河水，乃至用盛水的器皿，百數、千數、百千億數，其水非常多，被稱為水蘊；無盡功德也像這樣！』『尊那（Cunda）！如果善男子、善女人完全具備這七種無盡功德之法，所獲得的功德是不可思議、不可稱量的，具備巨大的名聲和巨大的果報，功德非常多，被稱為大功德蘊。』這時，世尊說了偈頌：『清凈地修行禪定，只在聖蹟中修行；采寶沒有超過大海的，如同河流救濟有情眾生。河水沒有邊際，眾多的水流最終迴歸源頭；佈施可以獲得很多福報，如同河流經常流向大海。』當時，大尊者尊那（Cunda）聽聞佛陀所說后，歡喜地行禮，信受奉行。佛說尊那經

【English Translation】 English version 『Cunda! These are the seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious dharmas. If a good man or good woman can possess these dharmas, the merits they obtain are immeasurable. Cunda! These seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious dharmas, if a good man or good woman, with sincere heart, can possess these dharmas, the inexhaustible merits they obtain are immeasurable. Such merits, fame and praise, and great rewards, are very numerous, and are called a great accumulation of merit.』『Furthermore, Cunda! For example, there are five great rivers that constantly flow, namely: the Ganga River (Ganges River), the Yamuna River (Yamuna River), the Sarayu River (Sarayu River), the Iravati River (Iravati River), and the Mahi River (Mahi River). These river waters are immeasurable, like these river waters, even using water-holding vessels, hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, billions, the water is very much, called an accumulation of water; inexhaustible merit is also like this!』『Cunda! If a good man or good woman fully possesses these seven kinds of inexhaustible meritorious dharmas, the merits they obtain are inconceivable and immeasurable, possessing great fame and great rewards, the merits are very numerous, and are called a great accumulation of merit.』 At that time, the World Honored One spoke this verse: 『Purely cultivate the practice of dhyana, only cultivate in the sacred sites; collecting treasures is no greater than the sea, like a river saving sentient beings. The river water has no boundaries, the many streams eventually return to the source; giving alms can obtain much blessings, like a river constantly flowing to the sea.』 At that time, the great Venerable Cunda, having heard what the Buddha said, joyfully bowed, accepted it with faith, and practiced accordingly.
