罽賓國（今克什米爾地區）三藏沙門般若奉 詔譯

The Sutra of the Buddha on the Merit of Building Stupas for Prolonging Life
Translated by the Tripiṭaka（collection of Buddhist scriptures） Master Prajna from the Kingdom of Kashmir（historical region in South Asia） under Imperial Edict
Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove（site of one of the most famous monasteries or viharas in India） of Anathapindika（a wealthy merchant and a principal patron of the Buddha） in Shravasti（ancient city in India）. He was with a great assembly of Bhikshus（ordained Buddhist monks） and Bodhisattva Mahasattvas（great bodhisattvas）. At that time, King Prasenajit（king of Kosala in ancient India） was in the assembly. He rose from his seat, arranged his robes, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, prostrated himself at the Buddha's feet, and, with palms joined in reverence, said to the Buddha, 'Rare is the World-Honored One. A fortune-teller has predicted that I will reach the end of my life in seven days. I am afflicted and distressed by the impermanence of suffering, and having no one to rely on, I come to seek refuge in the World-Honored One. I beseech the World-Honored One to save and protect me. How can I be freed from sorrow and suffering?' The Buddha said, 'Great King, comfort yourself and do not be afraid. The Buddhas and Tathagatas（'the one who has thus gone', an epithet of the Buddha） have skillful means to enable the Great King to obtain extraordinary victories and prolong his life, and to attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi（' unsurpassed perfect enlightenment'）. Listen attentively and contemplate it well. I will explain it to you in detail. Great King, you should know that if you wish to escape the suffering of impermanence and enter the lifespan of the Tathagata's Dharma body, you should first generate the mind of upholding the Buddha's pure precepts and cultivate the supreme merit. Generating this mind can prolong the king's life.' The King said to the Buddha, 'I beseech the World-Honored One to save and protect me. I will follow and cause the people of the kingdom to follow the practice of generating the mind, upholding the Buddha's pure precepts, and cultivating the supreme merit. I do not know what kind of mind to generate, what kind of precepts to uphold, and what merit is supreme. I beseech the Tathagata to explain it to me.' The Buddha said to the Great King, 'To generate the mind is to generate the four immeasurable minds. To uphold the precepts is to uphold the precept of not killing. To cultivate the supreme merit is to build stupas（a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing relics） above all else. Have compassion and protect all sentient beings. The gods and virtuous spirits will always come to protect you, never leaving you like a shadow following a form, and generating boundless blessings for the Great King. The merit of the Great King establishing a Buddha stupa is inconceivable. It is praised by the Tathagatas of the three worlds. I will briefly explain the causes and conditions to the Great King. The King should listen attentively. In the ancient past, there was a young boy herding cattle in this land.'
。有諸相師來共佔相謂言。此牧牛兒卻後七日必當壽盡。是牧牛兒又于異時。與諸小兒聚沙為戲。中有小兒摧沙為堆。言作佛塔高一磔手。或二或三至四磔手。時此小兒戲聚沙塔高一磔手。卻後更延七年壽命。于聚沙時。有辟支佛持缽而行。時諸小兒以嬉戲心。將沙奉施言我施麨。時辟支佛引缽受之。以神通力沙變成麨。時諸小兒見此因緣。皆悉獲得清凈信心。時辟支佛與諸小兒悉授記莂作如是言。汝諸童子所造之塔高一磔手者。于未來世作鐵輪王。王一天下。二磔手者作銅輪王。王二天下。三磔手者作銀輪王。王三天下。四磔手者作金輪王。王四天下。時諸小兒以嬉戲心造如是塔感如是果。何況大王發至誠心。若有善男子善女人。以決定心如法造塔。乃至一肘量一磔手一指節一穬麥。所得功德無有限量。常有諸天雨花供養。是故大王。若善男子善女人慾造塔時。先於一切眾生起大悲心而為先導。以菩提心而為根本。然後凈地作壇供養。以瞿摩夷涂之燒香散花。面正東坐作是思惟。佛薄伽梵自利利他功德圓滿。復能滿足眾生之愿。我今成就第一法身發菩提心。于薄伽梵所有造塔軌儀法則。一一次第如法奉行。
第一採集妙華。以陀羅尼加持七遍。散佈壇上供養如來。陀羅尼曰。
na maḥ s
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：有幾個相士來為他占卜，說：『這個牧童七天後必定會壽命終結。』這個牧童後來有一次，和一群小孩聚在一起玩沙子。其中有小孩用沙子堆成堆，說要做佛塔，高一磔手（量詞，張開拇指和中指或食指之間的距離）。或者兩磔手、三磔手，甚至四磔手。當時這個小孩玩耍時堆的沙塔高一磔手，之後竟然延長了七年壽命。在堆沙塔的時候，有一位辟支佛（梵文：Pratyekabuddha，不依師友教導而自行悟道的修行者）拿著缽經過。這些小孩以嬉戲的心情，把沙子奉獻給辟支佛，說：『我施捨炒麵。』辟支佛就用缽接了過去，以神通力把沙子變成了炒麵。當時這些小孩看到這個因緣，都獲得了清凈的信心。這時，辟支佛給這些小孩都授記（預言），這樣說：『你們這些童子所造的塔，高一磔手的，在未來世會成為鐵輪王（統治者的型別），統治一個天下。兩磔手的，會成為銅輪王，統治兩個天下。三磔手的，會成為銀輪王，統治三個天下。四磔手的，會成為金輪王，統治四個天下。』這些小孩以嬉戲的心情造這樣的塔，就感得這樣的果報。更何況大王您發至誠心呢？如果有善男子善女人，以堅定的心如法造塔，哪怕只有一肘（長度單位）、一磔手、一指節、一穬麥（長度單位），所得到的功德也是無量的。常常有諸天散花供養。所以大王，如果善男子善女人想要造塔，首先要對一切眾生生起大悲心作為先導，以菩提心（覺悟之心）作為根本，然後在乾淨的地上設定壇場進行供養，用牛糞塗抹地面，焚香散花，面向東方坐下，這樣思惟：佛薄伽梵（梵文：Bhagavan，世尊），自利利他，功德圓滿，又能滿足眾生的願望。我現在要成就第一法身（佛的智慧之身），發菩提心，對於薄伽梵所有造塔的儀軌法則，一次一次地如法奉行。 第一步是採集美妙的鮮花，用陀羅尼（梵文：Dharani，咒語）加持七遍，散佈在壇場上供養如來。陀羅尼是： na maḥ s
【English Translation】 English version: Some fortune-tellers came to examine him and said, 'This cowherd will surely die in seven days.' This cowherd, at another time, gathered with some children to play in the sand. Among them, some children piled up sand, saying they would make a Buddha-塔 (Buddha-塔, pagoda), one span (unit of measurement, the distance between the thumb and middle or index finger when stretched) high. Or two spans, three spans, even four spans. At that time, the sand-塔 (pagoda) that this child playfully built was one span high, and he was granted an extension of seven years to his life. While they were building the sand-塔 (pagoda), a Pratyekabuddha (Pratyekabuddha, one who attains enlightenment on their own without a teacher) was walking by with a bowl. The children, with playful hearts, offered sand to the Pratyekabuddha, saying, 'I offer fried flour.' The Pratyekabuddha accepted it with his bowl, and through his supernatural power, the sand turned into fried flour. At that time, the children, seeing this cause and condition, all gained pure faith. Then, the Pratyekabuddha gave predictions to all the children, saying, 'You children who have built 塔 (pagodas) one span high will become Iron Wheel Kings (type of ruler) in the future, ruling one continent. Those who built them two spans high will become Copper Wheel Kings, ruling two continents. Those who built them three spans high will become Silver Wheel Kings, ruling three continents. Those who built them four spans high will become Gold Wheel Kings, ruling four continents.' These children, with playful hearts, built such 塔 (pagodas) and received such rewards. How much more so, Your Majesty, who has generated a sincere heart? If there are good men and good women who, with a determined heart, build 塔 (pagodas) according to the Dharma, even if it is only one cubit (unit of length), one span, one finger joint, or one barleycorn (unit of length), the merits they obtain are immeasurable. Devas (deities) will constantly shower flowers as offerings. Therefore, Your Majesty, if good men and good women wish to build 塔 (pagodas), they should first generate great compassion for all sentient beings as a guide, and take Bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment) as the foundation. Then, purify the ground and set up an altar for offerings, smear it with cow dung, burn incense, scatter flowers, and sit facing east, contemplating thus: The Buddha Bhagavan (Bhagavan, the Blessed One), benefits himself and others, his merits are complete, and he can fulfill the wishes of sentient beings. I now wish to attain the first Dharmakaya (Dharmakaya, the body of wisdom of the Buddha), generate Bodhicitta, and follow the rules and procedures for building 塔 (pagodas) of the Bhagavan, one by one, according to the Dharma. The first step is to gather wonderful flowers, bless them seven times with a Dharani (Dharani, mantra), and scatter them on the altar as offerings to the Tathagata (Tathagata, Thus Come One). The Dharani is: na maḥ s

The second time when making a mud ball, contemplate the syllable 'a' (婀). This is the Dharmakaya (法界身) of the Tathagata (如來). First, take refuge and say these words:
Namo da śā dhaḥ kṣo rthi ya da va sa rva ta thā ga ta naṃ va nde ra ta Tra Yaṃ Ś (Here, Tra Yaṃ Ś should have subsequent content, but the original text is incomplete)

正埏埴時。以俱胝陀羅尼。加持其泥二十一遍。造一佛塔如造一俱胝佛塔。所獲功德等無有異。是故此陀羅尼名為俱胝陀羅尼。陀羅尼曰。

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本 u vaṃ a kṣo bhya a mi (梵語發音，意義不明) 曩(二合) 怛羅(二合) 演 輸 梵 阿 閦 鞞 阿 彌 tā bha sya bha ga vaṃ ā ryā va ru (梵語發音，意義不明) 陀 畔 差(子阿反) 薄 伽 梵 阿 哩也(引) 嚩 嚕 ki te śca rā ya gu ru (梵語發音，意義不明) 枳 帝 濕嚩(二合) 羅 耶 麌 嚕
當正確地混合泥土時，用俱胝（koti，意為千萬）陀羅尼加持泥土二十一遍。建造一座佛塔就如同建造一俱胝佛塔，所獲得的功德沒有任何差異。因此，這個陀羅尼被稱為俱胝陀羅尼。陀羅尼如下：
ta dya thā oṃ se kha ṣma se kha ṣma (梵語發音，意義不明) 怛 你也(二合) 他 唵 蘇(上)佉澀茗(四合) 蘇佉澀茗(四合) se kha ṣma a nu ka te ca nte ca (梵語發音，意義不明) 蘇佉澀么(四合) 阿 耨 羯 諦 訕 諦 訕 nte ta nta ta nta ṭha ra ku re ye śo (梵語發音，意義不明) 諦 誕 諦 誕 諦 你(平) 啰 拘 黎 曳(八) 戍 va dhi te śu va dhi sa rva bu (梵語發音，意義不明) 嚩 地 帝 戍 嚩 地 薩 嚩 步

When correctly preparing the clay, empower it twenty-one times with the Koti (俱胝, meaning ten million) Dharani. Building one stupa is like building one Koti stupas; the merits gained are no different. Therefore, this Dharani is called the Koti Dharani. The Dharani is as follows:
ta dya thā oṃ se kha ṣma se kha ṣma (Sanskrit pronunciation, meaning unknown) 怛 你也(二合) 他 唵 蘇(上)佉澀茗(四合) 蘇佉澀茗(四合) se kha ṣma a nu ka te ca nte ca (Sanskrit pronunciation, meaning unknown) 蘇佉澀么(四合) 阿 耨 羯 諦 訕 諦 訕 nte ta nta ta nta ṭha ra ku re ye śo (Sanskrit pronunciation, meaning unknown) 諦 誕 諦 誕 諦 你(平) 啰 拘 黎 曳(八) 戍 va dhi te śu va dhi sa rva bu (Sanskrit pronunciation, meaning unknown) 嚩 地 帝 戍 嚩 地 薩 嚩 步

第三次於泥團作spha 娑頗(二合)字觀。當觀此泥團猶如水精。又如頗胝迦寶。內外清凈分明瑩徹。以陀羅尼加持一遍。陀羅尼曰。

The third time, visualize the syllable 'spha' 娑頗(two combined) on the clay lump. One should visualize this clay lump as if it were crystal, or like Sphatika (Sphatika, a type of gem), clear and bright inside and out. Recite the dharani once to bless it. The dharani is:
om va jra u ta bha bha ya svā hā
The fourth time, when applying red earth, visualize the color of fire. Then one knows that all mundane and supramundane dharmas are achieved from minute particles. After doing this visualization, take dry red earth and apply it all over the clay lump. Visualize that all dharmas are originally unborn and ultimately empty and still. Visualize the syllable 'haṃ' 含. Imagine this clay lump as molten gold. Then build the stupa. Recite the dharani once to bless it. The dharani is:
om a ra ca vi ra ca svā hā
The fifth time, when putting the clay lump into the mold, use the dharani to bless it once. Then put it into the mold. The dharani is:

【English Translation】 English version The tenth time, when the stupa (塔) is taken out of the mold and placed, bless it once with a dharani (陀羅尼). The dharani says: oṃ su pra-ti ṣṭi ta va jra svā hā The eleventh time, after the stupa base is placed, press the top of the stupa with your hand and bless it once with a dharani.

The dharani says: oṃ paṃ la ma a yo ye svā hā The Buddha (佛) told the Great King (大王): If a good man or good woman, with a pure mind, makes a Buddha-tā (佛塔) according to this ritual, whether they do it themselves, teach others to do it, or praise and believe in it, the merit gained is no different from building a Buddha-tā. Know that this person in this life will not be harmed by any poison, will have a long life without accidental death, and will ultimately obtain an indestructible body. All ghosts and spirits will not dare to approach, the five planets and seven luminaries (五星七曜) will follow their commands, and all enemies will retreat. Wherever they are born, their body will always be free from illness, and all beings will be happy to see them. Those without pure precepts will have their pure precepts fulfilled; those who are not tamed will be tamed; those who are not pure will be purified; those who have broken

【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：持齋戒的人齋戒后可以復生，如果犯了四重罪（指殺、盜、淫、妄四種根本戒）以及五無間罪（指殺父、殺母、殺阿羅漢、破和合僧、出佛身血五種極重罪業），都能夠消滅。無始劫以來的業障都能夠消除乾淨。如果有女人想要生男孩，就會生下勇健有福德的男孩，四大天王（Caturlokapala）會常常隨身擁護。建造佛塔的功德就像這樣。如果佛塔破壞，變成微塵，風吹一粒微塵散落到其他地方，微塵所經過的山林河海，一切眾生接觸到這些微塵的人，永遠不再受雜類之身（指畜生道等），捨棄此身受生后常常能夠見到佛。大王，如果善男子、善女人，對於建造佛塔以及陀羅尼（Dharani，總持、真言），能夠清楚地觀想，一心憶念，就能夠永遠遠離水難、火難、王難、賊難、刀兵等災難，沒有誰能夠傷害他們。如果在曠野、空閑的地方，或者在村落以及大會之中，能夠用這部經宣告大眾，就是救護眾生的身命，所獲得的福德就像虛空一樣廣大。如果在後世書寫流通這部經，即使佛塔沒有建造，造塔的功德也是一樣沒有差別。我爲了大王以及未來世的一切眾生，廣泛地開示建造佛塔、延續壽命的功德，大王您應當牢記。
當時波斯匿王（Prasenajit）以及所有大眾，聽了佛所說的法，都非常歡喜，信受奉行。

【English Translation】 English version: Those who observe the precepts and fast will be reborn after observing the precepts. If they have committed the four grave offenses (killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, and false speech) and the five heinous offenses (killing one's father, killing one's mother, killing an Arhat, causing disunity in the Sangha, and shedding the blood of a Buddha), all of these will be eradicated. All accumulated obstacles from beginningless kalpas will be completely eliminated. If a woman desires to have a son, she will give birth to a brave and virtuous son. The Four Heavenly Kings (Caturlokapala) will constantly protect him. The merit of building a stupa is like this. If a stupa is destroyed and turns into fine dust, and a single particle of dust is blown by the wind to another place, the mountains, forests, rivers, and seas that the dust passes through, all sentient beings who come into contact with this dust will never again be reborn in impure realms (such as the animal realm). After abandoning this body and being reborn, they will always be able to see the Buddha. Great King, if good men and good women can clearly visualize and single-mindedly remember the building of stupas and the Dharani (Dharani, meaning 'total retention' or 'mantra'), they will be forever free from the calamities of water, fire, the king, thieves, and weapons. No one will be able to harm them. If, in the wilderness, in secluded places, or in villages and large gatherings, they can proclaim this sutra to the masses, they will be saving the lives of sentient beings, and the merit they obtain will be as vast as the sky. If in future generations they write and circulate this sutra, even if the stupa has not been built, the merit of building a stupa will be the same without any difference. For the sake of the Great King and all sentient beings in future generations, I widely reveal the merit of building stupas and prolonging life. The King should remember this.
At that time, King Prasenajit (Prasenajit) and all the assembly, hearing what the Buddha said, were all greatly delighted, believed, accepted, and practiced it accordingly.
