T03n0153_p0064c26(00)║ 菩薩摩訶薩， 若墮於畜生，
T03n0153_p0064c27(00)║ 所行諸善法， 外道不能及。
T03n0153_p0064c28(00)║如我曾聞： 菩薩往昔，曾為兔身，
T03n0153_p0064c29(05)║以其先世餘業因緣，雖受兔身，善於人語，
T03n0153_p0065a01(05)║言常至誠無有虛誑；智慧成就遠離瞋恚，
T03n0153_p0065a02(06)║於人天中最為第一；慈悲熏心，調和軟善，
T03n0153_p0065a03(06)║悉能消滅諸魔因緣；言行相副，真實無諂，
T03n0153_p0065a04(06)║殺害之心永無復有；安住不動，如須彌山，
T03n0153_p0065a05(07)║與無量兔而為上首，常為諸兔，而說是言：
T03n0153_p0065a06(08)║「汝等不知墮惡道耶！是身可患。夫惡道者，地獄、畜生、餓鬼、
T03n0153_p0065a07(01)║阿修羅，如是等名為惡道，
T03n0153_p0065a08(07)║汝等今當至心諦聽，墮惡道因緣，所謂十惡。 「我於往昔，
T03n0153_p0065a09(02)║曾聞諸仙分別開示，心亦思惟，
T03n0153_p0065a10(07)║今當為汝略解說之。四法根本多諸過患，所謂貪欲、瞋恚、
T03n0153_p0065a11(01)║愚癡、憍慢。因貪欲心行十惡者，墮於餓鬼；
T03n0153_p0065a12(02)║因瞋恚心行十惡者，墮於畜生；
T03n0153_p0065a13(07)║因愚癡心行十惡者，墮於地獄；因憍慢心行十惡者，墮阿修羅，
T03n0153_p0065a14(00)║因此四法所往之處，常受苦惱。
T03n0153_p0065a15(06)║「汝等當觀地獄中有猛火熾然、利刀[利-禾+皮]剝，
T03n0153_p0065a16(06)║常為狗犬之所噉食，鐵嘴諸烏挑啄其目，
T03n0153_p0065a17(06)║灰河壞身猶如微塵，復為諸椎之所打碎，
T03n0153_p0065a18(07)║利斧刀劍截其手足，寒冷惡風吹襞其身。
T03n0153_p0065a19(07)║二山相拍身處其中。汝等當知，設我盡壽至百千世，
T03n0153_p0065a20(04)║解說如是地獄眾生不能得盡，如是地獄有種種苦。
T03n0153_p0065a21(02)║「汝今復當聽餓鬼中種種諸苦，所謂飢渴所逼，
T03n0153_p0065a22(00)║身體乾枯，於無量歲初，不曾聞漿水之名。
T03n0153_p0065a23(01)║乃至穢糞，求不能得，頭髮長利，纏繞其身，
T03n0153_p0065a24(02)║故令身中支節火然，遙望見水至則火坑，
T03n0153_p0065a25(03)║飢渴所逼往趣糞穢，復有惡鬼神持刀杖固遮，
T03n0153_p0065a26(01)║今說此事，倍令我心驚畏怖懼。 「阿修羅者，
T03n0153_p0065a27(02)║雖受五欲與天無別，憍慢自高無謙下心，
T03n0153_p0065a28(02)║遠善知識不信三寶，亦復不為善友所護，
T03n0153_p0065a29(02)║於世間中起顛倒想，雖見諸佛心無敬信，
T03n0153_p0065b01(02)║於上諸天常生惡心，繫念伺求諸天過失。
T03n0153_p0065b02(03)║汝等當知憍慢之結，多諸過咎無所利益。
T03n0153_p0065b03(04)║所以眾生不成道果，無不由此憍慢熾盛，
T03n0153_p0065b04(05)║自是非彼譏刺呵責，世間眾生以憍慢故，增長邪見，
T03n0153_p0065b05(02)║邪見因緣誹謗三寶。謗三寶故受阿修羅，
T03n0153_p0065b06(03)║阿修羅中所受眾苦，若為故欲盡說不可得盡。
T03n0153_p0065b07(03)║「以愚癡因緣墮畜生中多受眾苦，受種種形、
T03n0153_p0065b08(02)║食種種食、種種語言行住不同。無足、二足、四足、
T03n0153_p0065b09(01)║多足水陸空行，牛、羊、駝、驢、豬、豚、雞、狗、飛鳥、走獸，
T03n0153_p0065b10(00)║如是等輩，常為愚癡之所覆蔽。
T03n0153_p0065b11(05)║常處盲冥無有智慧，各各相於起殺害想，
T03n0153_p0065b12(05)║互相怖畏猶如怨賊，常為獵師屠膾所殺，復為師子、虎狼、
T03n0153_p0065b13(00)║豺犬無量惡獸之所[國*爪]食。常墮坑、坎、[(ㄇ@(企-止))/ㄙ/月]、
T03n0153_p0065b14(01)║索羅網，生則負重，死則[利-禾+皮]剝，
T03n0153_p0065b15(06)║駕犁挽車鐵鉤鉤斲，羈靽拘執。常苦飢渴，口乾舌燥，
T03n0153_p0065b16(03)║雖有所須口不能宣。稚小孤迸，遠離父母，
T03n0153_p0065b17(03)║水草無量，常不充足，畜生惡報，世間現見，
T03n0153_p0065b18(04)║是故我今略為汝等而解說之。 「如我先業惡因緣故，
T03n0153_p0065b19(01)║受是兔身，唯食水草恒多怖畏，
T03n0153_p0065b20(05)║是故汝等應修善法，善法因緣生天人中，
T03n0153_p0065b21(05)║雖人道中有諸苦惱劇於諸天，猶當發願，願生人中。
T03n0153_p0065b22(01)║譬如官法為犯罪者造作土窖，凡有三重：
T03n0153_p0065b23(01)║重罪之人置在最下；中罪之人置之中間；
T03n0153_p0065b24(02)║罪極輕者置于上重。行惡業者，亦復如是，
T03n0153_p0065b25(03)║極重惡者墮于地獄，中品惡者受畜生身，
T03n0153_p0065b26(05)║最下品者生餓鬼中。遠離如是三品惡已，得生人中，
T03n0153_p0065b27(01)║生人中已，行善不善；行上善者，
T03n0153_p0065b28(06)║入於涅槃如己舍宅。」是時，
T03n0153_p0065b29(13)║兔王常為諸兔宣說如是善妙之言。 爾時，有一婆羅門種，
T03n0153_p0065c01(07)║厭世出家修學仙法，不惱眾生離欲去愛；
T03n0153_p0065c02(07)║和顏而言身無麤穬，飲水食果及諸根藥；
T03n0153_p0065c03(07)║少欲知足修寂靜行，長養髮爪為梵行相。是時，
T03n0153_p0065c04(05)║仙人忽於一時遙聞兔王為兔說法，聞已心悔，
T03n0153_p0065c05(03)║而作是言：「我今雖得生於人中，
T03n0153_p0065c06(07)║愚癡無智不如是兔，生在兔中曉了善法。
T03n0153_p0065c07(07)║譬如日光障蔽月光，我亦如是。
T03n0153_p0065c08(11)║雖生人中為彼畜生之所障蔽，彼雖畜生或是正法之將、
T03n0153_p0065c09(06)║或是梵王大自在天，我今聞彼所說之法，心調柔和，
T03n0153_p0065c10(03)║譬如人熱入清冷水。怪哉師子！多行惡業，受是獸身，
T03n0153_p0065c11(00)║云何復當殺如是兔？如是兔者，乃是純善，
T03n0153_p0065c12(01)║形雖如是乃能修行仙聖之法，雖生畜生，
T03n0153_p0065c13(02)║而能宣說善惡之相。
T03n0153_p0065c14(11)║我從本來無可諮稟尊敬之處，今得遇之甚善無量。」 是時仙人，即起合掌，
T03n0153_p0065c15(00)║往至兔所。至兔所，已卻坐一面，合掌向兔，
T03n0153_p0065c16(01)║而作是言：「汝是正法之身，將不受兔身，
T03n0153_p0065c17(03)║所有必定純善之法，唯願為我具足說之。
T03n0153_p0065c18(04)║我所修學長養鬚髮、草衣、食果今實厭之，
T03n0153_p0065c19(05)║譬如鑽冰求酥是實難得，我亦如是。終身長髮、草衣、
T03n0153_p0065c20(01)║食果，雖修苦行正法難得。我今雖得生於人中，
T03n0153_p0065c21(00)║受人形體，遠善知識，修行惡法，
T03n0153_p0065c22(04)║如七葉華正可遠瞻不中親近，我亦如是。修行惡法，
T03n0153_p0065c23(00)║有智之人，視之遠去終不親近，
T03n0153_p0065c24(05)║汝真梵王假受兔身。」 兔時答言：「大婆羅門！
T03n0153_p0065c25(05)║若我所言悅可汝心甚不愛也。
T03n0153_p0065c26(11)║所以者何？我久已離慳吝之結。往昔發心，便當涅槃，但為眾生故，
T03n0153_p0065c27(02)║久住生死。」 時，婆羅門聞是語已，心生歡喜：
T03n0153_p0065c28(04)║「汝是大士，能為眾生久處是中。」
T03n0153_p0065c29(07)║即便隨逐經歷多年，飲水噉果與兔無別。是時，
T03n0153_p0066a01(05)║世人多行惡法，以是因緣，令天炎旱，草木華果枯乾不出，
T03n0153_p0066a02(00)║海池井泉諸水燋涸，
T03n0153_p0066a03(09)║其地所有林木蓬茹蒿草，土地人民收拾去盡。 時，
T03n0153_p0066a04(06)║婆羅門飢窮困苦，和顏向兔而作是言：「我今欲去，
T03n0153_p0066a05(03)║願不見責。」 兔聞是已，即生念言：「今此大仙不樂此處，
T03n0153_p0066a06(00)║故欲相捨。」即前問言：「此處何過，
T03n0153_p0066a07(05)║有何相犯？大仙當觀身服如是芻草之衣，
T03n0153_p0066a08(05)║令心愁惱非所宜也，如婆羅門入婬女舍，甚非家法也。」
T03n0153_p0066a09(01)║ 婆羅門言：「汝之所說實入我心，
T03n0153_p0066a10(06)║是處清淨實無過患，諸兔自修亦不相犯。
T03n0153_p0066a11(07)║但我薄祐困乏飲食，是故俛仰欲相捨去。
T03n0153_p0066a12(07)║汝今當觀一切眾生，無不因食以活此身，汝之所說善妙法要，
T03n0153_p0066a13(00)║今雖遠離，要當終身佩之心府不令忘失。
T03n0153_p0066a14(01)║汝復當知我心無慈，為穢食故，而相捨離。」
T03n0153_p0066a15(02)║ 時兔答言：「汝所為者，蓋是小事，
T03n0153_p0066a16(06)║云何乃欲相捨離去？」 婆羅門言：「我空飲水，已經多日，
T03n0153_p0066a17(02)║恐命不全，是故置宜欲相捨離。」 兔聞是已，念言：
T03n0153_p0066a18(00)║「善哉！是婆羅門，乃能為法飲水多日。」
T03n0153_p0066a19(03)║即便說言：「汝若去者，我則更無如是福田，
T03n0153_p0066a20(03)║唯願仁者明受我請。雖知菩薩，於福田中心無分別，
T03n0153_p0066a21(00)║然施極苦飢渴眾生其福最大；
T03n0153_p0066a22(05)║雖知二目是常所護，然當先救苦痛之處。
T03n0153_p0066a23(05)║汝今是我親善知識，是我所尊有大功德，
T03n0153_p0066a24(05)║是故我今欲設微供。汝今當知，人有四種，施亦有四：
T03n0153_p0066a25(00)║所謂下者、下中下者、智者、智中智者。
T03n0153_p0066a26(03)║云何下者？施時發心求於諸有；下中下者：
T03n0153_p0066a27(03)║以畏怖故行於布施；智者：有恭敬心而行布施；
T03n0153_p0066a28(02)║智中智者：有大悲心而行布施。
T03n0153_p0066a29(06)║我今於是四施之中趣行一施，唯願明旦必受我請。」 時，
T03n0153_p0066b01(02)║婆羅門即作是念：
T03n0153_p0066b02(15)║「此兔今日為何所見？見死鹿耶？或死兔乎？」心即歡喜然火誦咒。
T03n0153_p0066b03(05)║ 是兔其夜多集乾薪，告諸兔言：「汝等當知，是婆羅門，
T03n0153_p0066b04(01)║今欲捨我遠去他家，我甚愁惱身體戰慄。
T03n0153_p0066b05(01)║世法如是無常別離，虛誑不實猶如幻化，
T03n0153_p0066b06(02)║合會有離猶如秋雨，
T03n0153_p0066b07(11)║有為之法有如是等無量過患，諸行如夢熱時之炎，眾生命盡無可還者。
T03n0153_p0066b08(00)║汝等今者，知世法如是而不能離，
T03n0153_p0066b09(04)║是故汝等要當精勤壞三有乎！」爾時，兔王竟夜不眠，
T03n0153_p0066b10(01)║為諸兔眾說法如是。夜既終已，
T03n0153_p0066b11(06)║清旦地了於薪聚邊即便吹火，火然之後，語婆羅門言：
T03n0153_p0066b12(03)║「我昨請汝欲設微供，今已具辦，願必食之。
T03n0153_p0066b13(02)║何以故？智人集財欲以布施，受者憐愍要必受用；
T03n0153_p0066b14(00)║若有凡人多畜財寶以施於人，此不為難。
T03n0153_p0066b15(00)║我今貧窮施乃為難，唯願哀矜必定受之；
T03n0153_p0066b16(01)║我今深心清淨啟請，唯願仁者必受不疑。」
T03n0153_p0066b17(02)║說是語已，復自慰喻：「我今為他受安樂故，
T03n0153_p0066b18(03)║自捨己身，無所貪惜大如毫釐。如是福報，
T03n0153_p0066b19(04)║願諸眾生證無上智。」自慰喻已，投身火坑。 時，
T03n0153_p0066b20(04)║婆羅門見是事已，心驚毛豎，即於火上而挽出之。
T03n0153_p0066b21(02)║無常之命，即便斷滅，諦觀心悶抱置膝上，
T03n0153_p0066b22(03)║對之嗚唼並作是言：「愛法之士、慈愍大仙、調御船師！
T03n0153_p0066b23(00)║為利眾生，捨身壽命，
T03n0153_p0066b24(10)║今何所至？我今敬禮為歸依主。我處此山長髮重擔，
T03n0153_p0066b25(05)║雖經多年無所利益；我願從今常相頂戴，
T03n0153_p0066b26(05)║願汝功德具足成就；令我來世常為弟子。」說是語已，
T03n0153_p0066b27(02)║還持兔身，置之於地，頭面作禮，
T03n0153_p0066b28(07)║復還抱捉猶如赤子，即共死兔俱投火坑。 爾時，
T03n0153_p0066b29(05)║釋天知是事已，大設供養收骨起塔。菩薩摩訶薩，
T03n0153_p0066c01(03)║修行如是尸波羅蜜，不誑於世。
T03n0153_p0066c02(00)║ 菩薩本緣經鹿品第七
T03n0153_p0066c03(00)║ 菩薩摩訶薩， 行大波羅蜜，
T03n0153_p0066c04(00)║ 乃至上怨中， 終不生惡心。
T03n0153_p0066c05(00)║我昔曾聞： 菩薩往世墮在畜生，而為鹿身；
T03n0153_p0066c06(00)║兩脅金色脊似琉璃，餘身雜廁種別難名。
T03n0153_p0066c07(00)║蹄如車磲，角如金精，其身莊嚴如七寶藏。
T03n0153_p0066c08(00)║常行利益一切眾生，所有善法具足成就；
T03n0153_p0066c09(00)║身色光炎如日初出，諸天敬重為立名字號——
T03n0153_p0066c10(00)║金色鹿。為無量鹿而作將導，
T03n0153_p0066c11(05)║而是鹿王多行慈悲，精進智慧具足無減，有大勇猛，
T03n0153_p0066c12(00)║善知人語，為調眾生示受鹿身。 爾時，
T03n0153_p0066c13(03)║鹿王遊於雪山，其山多有叢林、華果、流泉、浴池，
T03n0153_p0066c14(01)║若諸禽獸共相憎惡，生賊害心，
T03n0153_p0066c15(06)║以是菩薩威德力故，悉滅無餘。在空寂處常教諸鹿，
T03n0153_p0066c16(03)║遠離諸惡修行善法，告諸鹿言：「汝等當聽！
T03n0153_p0066c17(03)║諸行之中，當觀小惡猶如毒食，如是小惡，不當受之。
T03n0153_p0066c18(00)║當觀小善，為親友想，常應親近，精勤受持。
T03n0153_p0066c19(00)║汝等諸鹿以身、口、意行諸惡故，
T03n0153_p0066c20(05)║墮畜生中不能修行所有善法，愚癡覆故受是畜身，
T03n0153_p0066c21(02)║經無量世難得解脫生死之中。欲受樂者，
T03n0153_p0066c22(03)║要因正法而為根本，夫正法者，能護眾生不墮惡趣。
T03n0153_p0066c23(00)║為度煩惱苦海之人而作橋梁，
T03n0153_p0066c24(05)║如人處嶮要因机杖，亦如執炬睹見諸器。
T03n0153_p0066c25(06)║行正法者亦復如是，夫正法者最可親近不可破壞，
T03n0153_p0066c26(03)║能示眾生無上大道。是能為受樂者，
T03n0153_p0066c27(05)║聞是法已能令喜心，心心不斷行是法者心無所畏，
T03n0153_p0066c28(02)║是法能除一切諸惡。譬如良藥療治眾病，
T03n0153_p0066c29(03)║以是因緣常應憶念不令忘失，若忘失者此生空過，
T03n0153_p0067a01(00)║一切世間皆悉虛誑。唯有布施、忍辱、慚愧、
T03n0153_p0067a02(01)║智慧之法乃是真實，若能修行如是等法，
T03n0153_p0067a03(02)║是則名為具足正法。」為諸鳥獸常說是法，
T03n0153_p0067a04(03)║令諸聽者心離婬欲。當是時也，
T03n0153_p0067a05(08)║猶如賢聖遠離諸惡不加侵害。 復於後時，與諸群鹿遊止一河，
T03n0153_p0067a06(01)║其水廣大深無涯底，暴漲急疾多所漂沒，
T03n0153_p0067a07(01)║壞諸山岸吹拔大樹，一切鳥獸無敢近者。
T03n0153_p0067a08(02)║時有一人為水所漂，恐怖惶懅莫知所至，
T03n0153_p0067a09(03)║身力轉微餘命無幾，舉聲大喚：「天神、地祇，
T03n0153_p0067a10(04)║誰有慈悲能見救濟？苦哉！我今與室家別，今日困悴，
T03n0153_p0067a11(00)║誰可歸依？我昔曾聞，世有一鹿，
T03n0153_p0067a12(05)║修學仙法有大慈悲，唯是當能深見濟拔。」 是時，
T03n0153_p0067a13(03)║鹿王在群鹿前聞如是聲，即便驚視誰受苦厄，
T03n0153_p0067a14(01)║發如是言：「我聞是已，其心苦惱，
T03n0153_p0067a15(06)║如彼受苦等無差別。」尋告諸鹿：「汝當隨意各自散去，
T03n0153_p0067a16(02)║吾欲觀覓平整之處，自恣飲水以充渴乏。」
T03n0153_p0067a17(03)║諸鹿聞已，尋即四散。鹿王即便尋聲求之，
T03n0153_p0067a18(04)║見有一人為水所漂，復為木石之所橖觸多受苦惱。
T03n0153_p0067a19(00)║鹿王見已，即作是念：「水急駛疾，
T03n0153_p0067a20(05)║假使大魚亦不能度，我今身小力亦微末，
T03n0153_p0067a21(06)║竟知當能度是人不？寧令我身與彼俱死，
T03n0153_p0067a22(07)║實不忍見彼獨受苦。」復作是念：
T03n0153_p0067a23(12)║「若使是人在於陸地為象所困，可得為作方便救護，
T03n0153_p0067a24(07)║今在此水漂疾急速，
T03n0153_p0067a25(16)║我當云何而得救拔？我設入水不能濟者，一切聞知當見嗤笑，
T03n0153_p0067a26(07)║自知不能何故入水？我今雖有慈悲之心，
T03n0153_p0067a27(07)║身力微末恐不能辦。我今要當倍加精進以不休息而往救之。」
T03n0153_p0067a28(00)║即作是言：「汝今不應生怖畏心，
T03n0153_p0067a29(05)║我今入水猶如草木，假使身滅要當相救。」 是時，
T03n0153_p0067b01(03)║鹿王踊身投河至彼人所，即命溺人令坐其背。
T03n0153_p0067b02(02)║溺人即坐安隱無慮，猶如有人安坐榻席，
T03n0153_p0067b03(03)║其河多有木石之屬，互相橖觸身痛無賴。是時，
T03n0153_p0067b04(01)║鹿王擔負溺人至死不放，劣乃得出至于彼岸。
T03n0153_p0067b05(00)║溺人爾時即得救拔，安隱出已，即語鹿王：
T03n0153_p0067b06(00)║「我之父母所長養身，為已滅沒，
T03n0153_p0067b07(05)║今之身命實是汝有。汝雖鹿王，身命相屬，
T03n0153_p0067b08(05)║所可敕使唯垂告語。」爾時，鹿王告其人言：「汝今且聽，
T03n0153_p0067b09(02)║我於汝所不求功果，亦無有心生貢高想，
T03n0153_p0067b10(03)║我今不惜如是身命，但欲為他而作利益。
T03n0153_p0067b11(03)║汝今當知，我受獸身常處林野，
T03n0153_p0067b12(07)║自在隨意求覓水草，雖不侵犯居民邑落。
T03n0153_p0067b13(07)║然是我罪多諸怨憎，兼復怖畏師子、虎狼、諸惡走獸射獵之徒，
T03n0153_p0067b14(00)║無所歸依無守護者。我雖鹿身雜色微妙，
T03n0153_p0067b15(01)║一切世間悉無見者，以相救濟唯汝見之，
T03n0153_p0067b16(02)║昔我立誓，若見苦厄要令度脫，
T03n0153_p0067b17(07)║人雖有力見苦不救，當知是人為無果報，
T03n0153_p0067b18(07)║如不種子不收果實。若念我者，當善攝口，
T03n0153_p0067b19(07)║知恩念恩賢聖所讚；不知恩者現世惡名流布於外，
T03n0153_p0067b20(04)║復為智者之所呵責，將來之世多受惡報。
T03n0153_p0067b21(05)║知恩之人二世安隱，非施因緣而得自在，
T03n0153_p0067b22(06)║不修多聞具大智慧，雖無水浴清淨無垢，
T03n0153_p0067b23(07)║離諸香熏得無上香，離諸瓔珞得真莊嚴，
T03n0153_p0067b24(07)║遠離所依而得自護，雖無刀杖人無侵者。汝當知之，
T03n0153_p0067b25(03)║知恩之人所得功德說不可盡，
T03n0153_p0067b26(08)║不知恩者所得過患亦復無量，是故汝今應善護口。」 爾時，
T03n0153_p0067b27(03)║溺人聞是語已，悲喜交集涕淚橫流，即禮鹿足，
T03n0153_p0067b28(02)║而作是言：「汝常說法示諸眾生涅槃正道，
T03n0153_p0067b29(03)║汝如良醫除斷眾生心熱病苦，汝是世間第一慈父，
T03n0153_p0067c01(00)║是尊是導實貪隨侍，
T03n0153_p0067c02(09)║朝夕稟受不欲遠離經一念頃，必當為惡無所堪任。
T03n0153_p0067c03(06)║我今設去雖有形體當相遠離，而心未敢生捨離想也。」
T03n0153_p0067c04(02)║說是語已，尋便即路。鹿王望之，遠不見已，
T03n0153_p0067c05(03)║即還本處眾鹿之中。 是時，溺人既還家已，忘恩背義，
T03n0153_p0067c06(00)║破滅法炬自然其心，破伐法樹乃殖毒林，
T03n0153_p0067c07(00)║心為惡器盛眾怨毒，
T03n0153_p0067c08(09)║為現世利即至王所而白王言：「大王當知，臣近入山見有一鹿，
T03n0153_p0067c09(02)║身色微妙如七寶貫，在眾鹿中而為上首。
T03n0153_p0067c10(03)║猶如滿月處眾星中，其皮雜色任覆御乘，
T03n0153_p0067c11(04)║臣知此鹿遊住之處。」 時王聞已，心驚喜曰：
T03n0153_p0067c12(06)║「卿示吾處吾自往取。」溺人白王：「敬奉所敕。」
T03n0153_p0067c13(05)║王即嚴駕令在前導，千乘萬騎隨後而往。 是時，
T03n0153_p0067c14(04)║鹿王在眾鹿中疲極而眠。爾時虛空多有眾鳥，
T03n0153_p0067c15(03)║見王軍馬各相謂言：「是王必為金色鹿來。」
T03n0153_p0067c16(03)║時有一烏即至鹿所啄鹿王耳，鹿王驚悟，心即念言：
T03n0153_p0067c17(00)║「此烏何緣來見覺之，從昔已來眾烏等類，
T03n0153_p0067c18(01)║顧復圍遶無敢近者，今日何故觸犯我身。」
T03n0153_p0067c19(02)║鹿即起立，遙望王軍，四方雲集已來近至，
T03n0153_p0067c20(03)║復作是念：「如是眾烏，實無過咎，譬如有人所尊陷墜，
T03n0153_p0067c21(00)║以手牽拽豈是過耶！」復作是念：
T03n0153_p0067c22(05)║「是諸眾生無慈悲心，世間所有師子、虎狼常是我怨，
T03n0153_p0067c23(01)║聞我說法怨心即息。是人無理，
T03n0153_p0067c24(06)║得生人中忘恩背義，反於我所而生毒害，
T03n0153_p0067c25(06)║如妙香華置之死屍，即時可惡人不喜見。是人亦爾，
T03n0153_p0067c26(02)║為得現世少許樂分，捨離將來無量樂報。」 爾時，
T03n0153_p0067c27(01)║鹿王即向諸鹿，而作是言：「汝等莫愁，
T03n0153_p0067c28(04)║王今所以來至此者，正為我身不為汝也。
T03n0153_p0067c29(05)║我今雖能逃避遠去，亦能壞碎彼之軍眾，
T03n0153_p0068a01(06)║要當畢命自往王所，若我如是，
T03n0153_p0068a02(11)║汝等便當東西波迸乃至喪命。是故我今為汝等故，當往王所，
T03n0153_p0068a03(04)║但隨我後莫生恐怖，當令汝等安隱無患。汝等當知，
T03n0153_p0068a04(00)║我若發心欲入涅槃即能得之，所以不取，
T03n0153_p0068a05(01)║正為汝等。我至王所設使喪命，
T03n0153_p0068a06(06)║但令汝等安隱全濟，吾無所恨。」作是語已，即至王所，
T03n0153_p0068a07(02)║溺人見已尋示王言：「所言鹿王此即是也。」
T03n0153_p0068a08(02)║作是言已，兩手落地。 時王見已，即便下馬，
T03n0153_p0068a09(02)║心驚毛豎，而作是言：「汝手云何斷落如是？」
T03n0153_p0068a10(03)║即捨刀杖獨往鹿所。鹿見王時心中愁惱，
T03n0153_p0068a11(03)║王作是念：「彼雖獸身非實鹿也，
T03n0153_p0068a12(07)║即是正法勇出之王。」 爾時，鹿王即白王言：
T03n0153_p0068a13(08)║「大王何緣放捨刀杖，身體流汗狀似恐怖；
T03n0153_p0068a14(07)║若使於我生恐怖者，我是修慈終不相害，
T03n0153_p0068a15(07)║如月生火無有是處。」 時王聞已，心得安隱，即向鹿王，
T03n0153_p0068a16(03)║而作是言：
T03n0153_p0068a17(17)║「是人何緣兩手落地？然如向言能施我等無所怖畏。
T03n0153_p0068a18(13)║云何是人直示汝身得如是報？汝向自言能施眾生無所畏怖。
T03n0153_p0068a19(05)║云何乃令是人如是？若言不施，一切世間即當火然。」 是時，
T03n0153_p0068a20(00)║鹿王復白王言：「譬如有人犯官重罪，
T03n0153_p0068a21(02)║觸惱無諍清淨比丘，如是之人得大重罪，
T03n0153_p0068a22(03)║不知恩者，亦復如是得大重罪。王今當知，是人自作，
T03n0153_p0068a23(00)║自受其報，非我因緣。」 王即問言：「唯願廣說，
T03n0153_p0068a24(00)║我樂聞之。」鹿王答曰：「願王問彼，
T03n0153_p0068a25(03)║不須我說。」 王即問人：「卿今何故二手落地？」
T03n0153_p0068a26(03)║是時溺人，即為其王廣說本緣，王既聞已：
T03n0153_p0068a27(04)║「卿作是事已，
T03n0153_p0068a28(15)║云何當得不受報也？若有困厄依怙他人，乃至一念尚應報恩，
T03n0153_p0068a29(06)║況復多時受斯重恩，而不能報反生賊害，
T03n0153_p0068b01(06)║豈當不受如是報也。如人熱時止息涼樹，
T03n0153_p0068b02(06)║是人乃至不應侵損是樹一葉，受恩不忘亦復如是。」 爾時，
T03n0153_p0068b03(01)║國王復向鹿王，長跪叉手而作是言：
T03n0153_p0068b04(05)║「我從今日常相歸依。」 鹿王答曰：「審能爾者，敬受來意。」
T03n0153_p0068b05(00)║王復言曰：「汝今受我，願求何等。」 鹿王答曰：
T03n0153_p0068b06(00)║「若能於我生尊相者，今當諦聽！我是獸身，
T03n0153_p0068b07(00)║唯賴水草以自存活，餘無所求。大王當知，
T03n0153_p0068b08(01)║是人昔為水所漂困，無救護者餘命無幾，
T03n0153_p0068b09(02)║我於爾時猶能救之；王今若有慈悲之心，
T03n0153_p0068b10(03)║當視是人如赤子想。若視是人即視於我，
T03n0153_p0068b11(02)║是人愚癡無知可愍，命終之後必墮地獄，
T03n0153_p0068b12(03)║經無量歲備受眾苦，是故應當於是人所生慈愍心。
T03n0153_p0068b13(00)║大王！譬如有人，多諸子息愛無偏黨，
T03n0153_p0068b14(03)║然於病者心則偏重；菩薩亦爾，
T03n0153_p0068b15(07)║於惡眾生偏生悲愛，以是眾生懷惡法故。
T03n0153_p0068b16(08)║是故菩薩為諸眾生發菩提心。」 爾時，大王復更斂容，而作是言：
T03n0153_p0068b17(02)║「汝今真是調御大師，護持正法、救濟危厄、
T03n0153_p0068b18(02)║歸依之處，能除眾生一切畏者。
T03n0153_p0068b19(07)║是諸眾生多行惡法身應陷地，所以不沒，諒由大士護持故也。
T03n0153_p0068b20(00)║從今以往，施諸鹿群無所畏樂，
T03n0153_p0068b21(04)║我今終身願為弟子，若汝來世成無上道，願先濟度。」
T03n0153_p0068b22(01)║於是國王說是語已，即告群臣：
T03n0153_p0068b23(07)║「舉國人民自今為始，不得遊獵殺害為業。」
T03n0153_p0068b24(07)║ 菩薩摩訶薩行尸波羅蜜時，雖受獸身於諸怨憎，
T03n0153_p0068b25(05)║乃至不生一念惡心。
T03n0153_p0068b26(00)║ 菩薩本緣經龍品第八
T03n0153_p0068b27(00)║ 菩薩摩訶薩， 處瞋猶持戒，
T03n0153_p0068b28(00)║ 況生於人中， 而當不堅持。
T03n0153_p0068b29(00)║如我曾聞： 菩薩往昔，以恚因緣墮於龍中，
T03n0153_p0068c01(01)║受三毒身：所謂氣毒、見毒、觸毒。
T03n0153_p0068c02(06)║其身雜色如七寶聚，光明自照不假日月，
T03n0153_p0068c03(07)║才貌長大氣如[糒-米+韋]風；其目照朗如雙日出，
T03n0153_p0068c04(07)║常為無量諸龍所遶，自化其身而為人像，
T03n0153_p0068c05(07)║與諸龍女共相娛樂。住毘陀山幽邃之處，
T03n0153_p0068c06(08)║多諸林木華果茂盛甚可愛樂，有諸池水八味具足，
T03n0153_p0068c07(05)║常在其中遊止受樂，經歷無量百千萬歲。 時，
T03n0153_p0068c08(05)║金翅鳥為飲食故，乘空束身飛來欲取。當其來時，
T03n0153_p0068c09(03)║諸山碎壞，泉池枯涸。爾時，諸龍及諸龍女，見聞是事，
T03n0153_p0068c10(00)║心大恐怖，所服瓔珞、華香、服飾，
T03n0153_p0068c11(05)║尋悉解落裂在其地。諸龍夫人恐怖墮淚，而作是言：
T03n0153_p0068c12(03)║「今此大怨，已來逼身，其[此/束]金剛多所破壞，
T03n0153_p0068c13(03)║當如之何？」龍便答曰：「卿依我後。」時，諸婦女尋即相與，
T03n0153_p0068c14(00)║來依附龍，龍復念言：「今此婦女各生恐怖，
T03n0153_p0068c15(00)║我若不能作擁護者，
T03n0153_p0068c16(10)║何用如是殊大之身？我今此身為諸龍王，
T03n0153_p0068c17(10)║若不能護何用王為？行正法者悉捨身命以擁護他，
T03n0153_p0068c18(06)║是金翅鳥之王有大威德。其力難堪除我一身餘無能禦，
T03n0153_p0068c19(00)║我今要當捨其身命以救諸龍。」 爾時，
T03n0153_p0068c20(03)║龍王語金翅鳥：「汝金翅鳥，小復留神聽我所說。
T03n0153_p0068c21(01)║汝於我所常生怨害，然我於汝都無惡心，
T03n0153_p0068c22(02)║我以宿業受是大身稟得三毒，
T03n0153_p0068c23(07)║雖有是力未曾於他而生惡心。我今自忖審其氣力，
T03n0153_p0068c24(04)║足能與汝共相抗禦，亦能遠炎大火投乾草木，
T03n0153_p0068c25(03)║五穀臨熟遇天惡雹，或變大身遮蔽日月，
T03n0153_p0068c26(04)║或變小身入藕絲孔，亦壞大地作於江海，
T03n0153_p0068c27(05)║亦震山嶽能令動搖，亦能避走遠去令汝不見我。
T03n0153_p0068c28(03)║今所以不委去者，多有諸龍來依附我，
T03n0153_p0068c29(05)║所以不與汝戰諍者，由我於汝不生惡故。」 金翅鳥言：
T03n0153_p0069a01(03)║「我與汝怨，何故於我不生惡心？」 龍王答言：
T03n0153_p0069a02(04)║「我雖獸身善解業報，審知少惡報逐不置，
T03n0153_p0069a03(04)║猶如形影不相捨離。我今與汝所以俱生如是惡家，
T03n0153_p0069a04(00)║悉由先世集惡業故，
T03n0153_p0069a05(09)║我今常於汝所生慈愍心，汝應深思如來所說：
T03n0153_p0069a06(00)║「『非以怨心， 能息怨憎，
T03n0153_p0069a07(00)║唯以忍辱， 然後乃滅。』
T03n0153_p0069a08(00)║「譬如大火投之乾薪，其炎轉更倍常增多，
T03n0153_p0069a09(01)║以瞋報瞋，亦復如是。」 時，金翅鳥聞是語已，
T03n0153_p0069a10(02)║怨心即息，復向龍王說如是言：
T03n0153_p0069a11(08)║「我今於汝常生怨心，然汝於我乃生慈心。」 龍王答言：
T03n0153_p0069a12(04)║「我先與汝俱受佛語，我常憶持抱在心懷，
T03n0153_p0069a13(04)║而汝忘失了不憶念。」 金翅鳥言：
T03n0153_p0069a14(08)║「唯願仁者為我和上，善為我說無上之法，
T03n0153_p0069a15(07)║我從今始惠施一切諸龍無畏。」說是語已，即捨龍宮，
T03n0153_p0069a16(03)║還本住處。 爾時，龍王遣金翅鳥還本處已，
T03n0153_p0069a17(04)║慰喻諸龍及諸婦女：
T03n0153_p0069a18(14)║「汝見金翅生怖畏不？其餘眾生睹見汝時，亦復如是生大怖畏。
T03n0153_p0069a19(05)║如汝諸龍愛惜身命，一切眾生，亦復如是。
T03n0153_p0069a20(06)║當觀自身以喻彼身，是故應生大慈之心，
T03n0153_p0069a21(07)║以我修集慈心因緣故，令怨憎還其本處，
T03n0153_p0069a22(08)║流轉生死所可恃怙無過慈心。夫慈心者，除重煩惱之妙藥也，
T03n0153_p0069a23(01)║慈是無量生死飢餓之妙食也。
T03n0153_p0069a24(06)║我等往昔以失慈心故，今來墮此畜生之中，
T03n0153_p0069a25(06)║若以修慈為門戶者，一切煩惱不能得入，
T03n0153_p0069a26(06)║生天人中及正解脫，慈為良乘更無過者。」
T03n0153_p0069a27(06)║諸龍婦女聞是語已，遠離恚毒修集慈心。 爾時，
T03n0153_p0069a28(04)║龍王自見同輩，悉修慈心歡喜自慶：「善哉！
T03n0153_p0069a29(04)║我今所作已辦，我雖業因生畜生中，
T03n0153_p0069b01(07)║而得修行大士之業。」 爾時，龍王復向諸龍，而作是言：
T03n0153_p0069b02(05)║「已為汝等作善事竟，為已示汝正真之道，
T03n0153_p0069b03(05)║復為汝等然正法炬、閉諸惡道、開人天路，
T03n0153_p0069b04(06)║汝已除棄無量惡毒以上甘露，補置其處欲請一事。
T03n0153_p0069b05(03)║汝等當知於十二月前十五日，
T03n0153_p0069b06(08)║閻浮提人以八戒水洗浴其身，心作清淨為人天道而作資糧，
T03n0153_p0069b07(01)║遠離憍慢、貢高、貪欲、瞋恚、愚癡，我亦如是，
T03n0153_p0069b08(02)║欲效彼人受八戒齋法。汝當知之，
T03n0153_p0069b09(06)║若能受持如是八戒，雖無妙服而能得洗浴、
T03n0153_p0069b10(06)║雖無墻壁能遮怨賊、雖無父母而有貴姓，
T03n0153_p0069b11(07)║離諸瓔珞身自莊嚴、雖無珍寶巨富無量、
T03n0153_p0069b12(07)║雖無車馬亦名大乘，不依橋津而度惡道，
T03n0153_p0069b13(07)║受八戒者功德如是。汝今當知，吾於處處常受持之。」
T03n0153_p0069b14(03)║ 諸龍各言：「云何名為八戒齋法？」 龍王答言：
T03n0153_p0069b15(04)║「八戒齋者：一者、不殺；二者、不盜；三者、不婬；四者、
T03n0153_p0069b16(02)║不妄語；五者、不飲酒；六者、不坐臥高廣床上；七者、
T03n0153_p0069b17(01)║不著香華、瓔珞以香塗身；八者、
T03n0153_p0069b18(07)║不作倡伎樂不往觀聽；如是八事莊嚴不過中食，
T03n0153_p0069b19(05)║是則名為八戒齋法。」 諸龍問言：「我等若當離王少時，
T03n0153_p0069b20(02)║命不得存，今欲增長無上正法，
T03n0153_p0069b21(07)║熾然法燈請奉所敕。佛法之益無處不可，
T03n0153_p0069b22(07)║何故不於此中受持？亦曾聞有在家之人，得修善法，
T03n0153_p0069b23(04)║若在家中行善法者，亦得增長，何必要當求於靜處？」
T03n0153_p0069b24(01)║ 龍王答言：「欲處諸欲心無暫停，
T03n0153_p0069b25(06)║見諸妙色則發過去愛欲之心。譬如濕地雨易成泥，
T03n0153_p0069b26(03)║見諸妙色發過去欲心，亦復如是。
T03n0153_p0069b27(07)║若住深山則不見色，若不見色則欲心不發。」 諸龍問言：
T03n0153_p0069b28(03)║「若處深山則得增長，是正法者當隨意行。」 爾時，
T03n0153_p0069b29(01)║龍王即將諸龍至寂靜處，遠離婬欲瞋恚之心。
T03n0153_p0069c01(00)║於諸眾生增修大慈，具足忍辱以自莊嚴；
T03n0153_p0069c02(00)║開菩提道自受八戒，清淨持齋經歷多日，
T03n0153_p0069c03(01)║斷食身羸，甚大飢渴疲極眠睡。
T03n0153_p0069c04(06)║龍王修行如是八戒具足忍辱，於諸眾生心無害想。 時，
T03n0153_p0069c05(01)║有惡人至龍住處，龍眠睡中聞有行聲，
T03n0153_p0069c06(03)║即便驚寤。時，諸惡人見已，心驚喜相謂曰：
T03n0153_p0069c07(04)║「是何寶聚從地湧出。」 龍見諸人心即生念：
T03n0153_p0069c08(05)║「我為修德來至此間，而此山間復有惡逆破修德者，
T03n0153_p0069c09(01)║若令彼人見我真形則當怖死，
T03n0153_p0069c10(06)║怖死之後我則毀壞修行正法。我於往昔，
T03n0153_p0069c11(07)║以瞋因緣受是龍身，三毒具足氣見觸毒如是。
T03n0153_p0069c12(05)║諸人今來至此，必貪我身斷絕壽命。」 時，諸惡人復相謂曰：
T03n0153_p0069c13(00)║「我等入山經歷多年求覓財利，
T03n0153_p0069c14(05)║未曾得見如是龍身，文彩莊嚴悅可人目，
T03n0153_p0069c15(06)║剝取其皮以獻我王者，可得重賞。」時，諸惡人尋以利刀，
T03n0153_p0069c16(02)║剝取其皮。 龍王爾時，心常利樂一切世間，
T03n0153_p0069c17(03)║即於是人生慈愍想，以行慈故三毒即滅。
T03n0153_p0069c18(04)║復自勸喻慰沃其心：「汝今不應念惜此身，
T03n0153_p0069c19(04)║汝雖復欲多年擁護，而對至時不可得免。
T03n0153_p0069c20(05)║如是諸人今為我身貪其賞貨當墮地獄，
T03n0153_p0069c21(06)║我寧自死終不令彼現身受苦。」 諸人尋前執刀[利-禾+皮]剝，
T03n0153_p0069c22(03)║龍復思惟：「若人無罪，有人支解，
T03n0153_p0069c23(07)║默受不報不生怨結，當知是人為大正士。若於父母，兄弟，
T03n0153_p0069c24(01)║妻子生默忍者，此不足貴。若於怨中生默受心，
T03n0153_p0069c25(00)║此乃為貴。是故我今為眾生故，
T03n0153_p0069c26(05)║應當默然而忍受之，若我於彼生忍受者，
T03n0153_p0069c27(06)║乃為真伴我之知識。是故我今應於是人生父母想，
T03n0153_p0069c28(03)║我於往昔，雖無量世故捨身命，初未曾得為一眾生。
T03n0153_p0069c29(00)║彼人若念剝此皮已，當得無量珍寶重貨，
T03n0153_p0070a01(01)║願我來世常與是人無量法財。」 爾時，
T03n0153_p0070a02(04)║龍王既被剝已，遍體血出苦痛難忍，
T03n0153_p0070a03(07)║舉身戰動不能自持。爾時，多有無量小蟲，
T03n0153_p0070a04(07)║聞其血香悉來集聚唼食其肉，龍王復念：「今此小蟲，食我身者，
T03n0153_p0070a05(00)║願於來世當與法食。」 菩薩摩訶薩，
T03n0153_p0070a06(04)║行尸波羅蜜時，乃至剝皮食肉都不生怨，
T03n0153_p0070a07(04)║況復餘處也。
