T12n0345_p0161b11(00)║慧上菩薩問大善權經卷下
T12n0345_p0161b12(00)║
T12n0345_p0161b13(00)║ 西晉月氏國三藏竺法護譯
T12n0345_p0161b14(00)║「何故菩薩而有室娶？菩薩無欲不尚配匹，
T12n0345_p0161b15(01)║其於離欲則為正士，所以示現眷屬妻息，
T12n0345_p0161b16(02)║傍人懷疑：『菩薩非男，斯黃門耳？』欲除沈吟，
T12n0345_p0161b17(03)║故納瞿夷釋氏之女，緣此現生子男羅云。
T12n0345_p0161b18(04)║假論羅云胞胎生者，則非義也。
T12n0345_p0161b19(10)║所以者何？羅云於天變沒化生，不由父母合會而育，
T12n0345_p0161b20(06)║又是菩薩本願所致。昔錠光佛，瞿夷有誓：『後世為仁妻，
T12n0345_p0161b21(02)║殖其德本。』不違久要故娉納之，
T12n0345_p0161b22(07)║情無所在俗人擾動，迷惑色欲慇懃戀著，
T12n0345_p0161b23(07)║菩薩示現妻子眷屬，尋復捨國。或有人言：『正士之妃端正姝妙，
T12n0345_p0161b24(00)║乃尚捐去，何況吾等？』又菩薩本始學道時，
T12n0345_p0161b25(01)║所有妻婦群從眷屬，相敬重故各共發願：
T12n0345_p0161b26(03)║『世世與仁俱，生生相侍，隨至成佛道。』
T12n0345_p0161b27(05)║故廣敷演清白之法，
T12n0345_p0161b28(14)║中宮婇女四萬二千人發無上正真道意，其餘群類悉度惡趣，
T12n0345_p0161b29(07)║以故菩薩現有眷屬。其諸婇女，以恩愛情自煩惱者，
T12n0345_p0161c01(04)║適見菩薩澹然清淨如明月珠，則離色欲。
T12n0345_p0161c02(05)║假使菩薩化於所化，顏姿容貌由若己身。
T12n0345_p0161c03(06)║爾時婇女與化人俱，恣可所娛，各心念言：
T12n0345_p0161c04(08)║『吾等今日與菩薩俱，志慕永異。』
T12n0345_p0161c05(12)║於時菩薩往閻浮樹蔭下而坐禪思，歡喜行安，由如化人所造之變。
T12n0345_p0161c06(03)║菩薩昔從錠光佛來，所見愛欲因緣之業，
T12n0345_p0161c07(04)║皆是無始感發之應，是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0161c08(00)║「何故菩薩於閻浮樹蔭而坐禪思，
T12n0345_p0161c09(04)║化七十億諸所天子令發道意？又復欲使皇后見之，
T12n0345_p0161c10(01)║心自念言：『會當捨家。』
T12n0345_p0161c11(10)║是故菩薩坐閻浮樹蔭而寂思惟，是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0161c12(00)║「何故菩薩夜半出家，
T12n0345_p0161c13(10)║至于江流而自洗浴？感諸群生為現德本，悉當念言：
T12n0345_p0161c14(07)║『所立之處功德自然，清白法故。』由此夜半出家無礙，
T12n0345_p0161c15(03)║極樂事皆當捨棄，清白之法不可離也，
T12n0345_p0161c16(05)║是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0161c17(00)║「何故菩薩在兜術天勸化諸天，來下現生，
T12n0345_p0161c18(01)║天人叉手，時到可去，門自然開？菩薩有念：
T12n0345_p0161c19(03)║『王儻懷疑，聞此不了，長夜不安，
T12n0345_p0161c20(07)║遭值恐患墜于惡趣。』故化天人，天人開門，諸天坐中舉聲稱揚。
T12n0345_p0161c21(00)║非菩薩咎，欲慰王心，委之于天。
T12n0345_p0161c22(05)║由觀斯義有所勸化，是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0161c23(00)║「何故菩薩棄國捐王而現捨去？人當解知，
T12n0345_p0161c24(01)║菩薩畏生老病死是故出家，
T12n0345_p0161c25(07)║不為增避家室親族眷屬枝黨，是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0161c26(00)║
T12n0345_p0161c27(19)║「何故菩薩自剃頭鬚髮？三千大千世界諸天龍神，揵沓和人與非人，無能堪見菩薩頂者，
T12n0345_p0161c28(00)║況能為尊除鬚髮者。於時菩薩，
T12n0345_p0161c29(05)║勸度眾生自除鬚髮，念白淨王當起恨意：『誰剃子首？』
T12n0345_p0162a01(02)║從使者聞，自剃之耳。王乃默然，
T12n0345_p0162a02(07)║是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0162a03(00)║「何故菩薩取寶瓔珞冠幘，手付車匿，
T12n0345_p0162a04(03)║發起眾念？菩薩為道，不復貪樂珍寶之飾，
T12n0345_p0162a05(04)║於一切物而無所著，故皆釋之。後世邊地法效菩薩：
T12n0345_p0162a06(02)║『吾等出家亦當請學，從佛法則猗四賢行，
T12n0345_p0162a07(02)║一切無著，不為陰入狐疑出家。』設不如是，
T12n0345_p0162a08(03)║人當疑言：『不知產業故出家也！』
T12n0345_p0162a09(07)║是為菩薩善權方便。」
T12n0345_p0162a10(00)║佛言：「族姓子！今且聽。
T12n0345_p0162a11(09)║此菩薩何故六年志修苦行？為諸菩薩有殃罪故，故現勤苦，
T12n0345_p0162a12(03)║為諸群生權其方便，於斯菩薩所興為也。
T12n0345_p0162a13(04)║迦葉佛時口發是言：『髡頭沙門耳，云何為佛？』
T12n0345_p0162a14(04)║是則菩薩善權方便。當知是義。
T12n0345_p0162a15(10)║何故菩薩而有斯言？優多摩納(晉言上志，一名焰花)，有五親友及五百弟子，
T12n0345_p0162a16(01)║為大梵志貴族姓子，本學大乘，
T12n0345_p0162a17(06)║為惡知友所見迷謬，失其道意。其五親友，
T12n0345_p0162a18(07)║信外異學不從真教，修外道經不習佛法，自謂有道為彼師長，
T12n0345_p0162a19(00)║其身自號吾等是佛，五百弟子亦復如是。
T12n0345_p0162a20(01)║焰花學志以權方便入斯志類，
T12n0345_p0162a21(06)║因發言呵難提和曰：『何所為佛？髡頭沙門，佛道難得，
T12n0345_p0162a22(03)║用往覲乎？』
T12n0345_p0162a23(17)║焰花稍稍化五族姓子及五百弟子在異學者，故發斯言：『何所是佛？髡頭沙門，佛道難得。』」
T12n0345_p0162a24(00)║佛語慧上：「觀於彼世焰花學志，
T12n0345_p0162a25(05)║時在別處與五親友五百眷屬俱共正立，
T12n0345_p0162a26(06)║於時陶家者名難提和(晉言歡豫)，往至其所，嗟嘆迦葉如來功德。
T12n0345_p0162a27(00)║謂焰花學志：『來共俱往詣迦葉佛。』焰花心念：
T12n0345_p0162a28(00)║『此諸學志德本未滿，
T12n0345_p0162a29(09)║設吾今歎迦葉如來道之功德，毀諸異學，
T12n0345_p0162b01(10)║族姓子等便當愕住必不俱行。』以故焰花，護其本願智慧無極，
T12n0345_p0162b02(03)║因權方便，故言『髡頭沙門非是佛，佛道難得，
T12n0345_p0162b03(03)║智慧無極，何所處乎？行智度者無彼此想，亦無道想。』
T12n0345_p0162b04(00)║焰花通達究竟空慧普無所著，
T12n0345_p0162b05(05)║善權方便隨一切法，故發斯言。
T12n0345_p0162b06(10)║焰花學志與五親友五百弟子，至池水側浴訖出水，乘馬車侶五親友，
T12n0345_p0162b07(00)║從弟子遊行講經。 「爾時歡豫，
T12n0345_p0162b08(06)║承佛威神欲化彼師從，迎焰花乘及侶弟子，
T12n0345_p0162b09(06)║即相問訊言所從來。歡豫以誠答曰：『覲迦葉佛還。』焰花曰：
T12n0345_p0162b10(00)║『髡頭沙門非為是佛，佛道難得。』
T12n0345_p0162b11(05)║陶者聞之甚用不悅，以手捉髮：『卿不信者可俱往質也。』
T12n0345_p0162b12(01)║焰花籌慮：『歡豫志性安隱仁和，未曾卒暴，
T12n0345_p0162b13(02)║今旋吾急，終不忘也。吾及弟子宜當共侶，
T12n0345_p0162b14(02)║俱觀其道。』僉曰：『唯然。』於是陶者、
T12n0345_p0162b15(07)║焰花五友五百弟子，便共俱行覲迦葉佛。
T12n0345_p0162b16(08)║佛則為說前世所興道德之本。心即喜踊，讚焰花曰：
T12n0345_p0162b17(06)║『世尊道德權慧乃爾，何惜不早為吾等說。』
T12n0345_p0162b18(06)║五友弟子見迦葉佛，道德巍巍辯才無量，
T12n0345_p0162b19(07)║皆發無上正真道意。時迦葉如來至真等正覺，說大乘業，
T12n0345_p0162b20(01)║開闡法藏不退轉輪，
T12n0345_p0162b21(10)║五大梵志五百弟子皆得不起法忍。」 佛告慧上：「族姓子！聽。
T12n0345_p0162b22(04)║焰花若以佛智慧歎迦葉尊毀異學者，
T12n0345_p0162b23(06)║五大梵志五百弟子終不從化。又無由得覲迦葉佛，
T12n0345_p0162b24(03)║用欲開化之故因行權慧，故發斯言：
T12n0345_p0162b25(07)║『髡頭沙門非為是佛，佛道難得。』得不退轉，
T12n0345_p0162b26(07)║無所不達不復疑道，是為菩薩善權方便。」
T12n0345_p0162b27(00)║佛告慧上：「菩薩所以隨時如化，
T12n0345_p0162b28(05)║現有餘殃勤苦之行，設不然者，沙門梵志清淨奉誡，
T12n0345_p0162b29(02)║諸餘黎民將無知之，懈怠不進。適相見已，
T12n0345_p0162c01(03)║得無說之是藏異藏。斯等長夜曾無利義，
T12n0345_p0162c02(04)║不得安隱則歸惡趣用眾罪釁，如來故現餘殃未盡。
T12n0345_p0162c03(01)║菩薩都無罪蓋之患，持戒沙門梵志，
T12n0345_p0162c04(04)║若說麤言即當自疑，不加精進不得解脫，
T12n0345_p0162c05(05)║欲建斯等猶豫志者，菩薩以權口發此言：
T12n0345_p0162c06(07)║『緣是度之即當自說，吾等無智自責悔過，
T12n0345_p0162c07(07)║唯學道慧普行恭敬。』又外異學貢高自由，以故如來勤苦六年，
T12n0345_p0162c08(00)║非為餘殃。所以者何？或有沙門梵志，
T12n0345_p0162c09(03)║食一麻一米清淨自在，欲攝此等具足其願，
T12n0345_p0162c10(03)║故菩薩日服一麻一米以為限度，若不時食，
T12n0345_p0162c11(04)║不得不還致于聖道。菩薩發言：『髡頭沙門不得是佛，
T12n0345_p0162c12(01)║佛道難得。』故以罪殃六年苦行，
T12n0345_p0162c13(06)║六年之中所可開度，則非異學之所及知。
T12n0345_p0162c14(07)║而令外道五百二十萬人住平等慧，所可見發誘化人民，
T12n0345_p0162c15(02)║是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0162c16(00)║「何故如來聚會四輩——諸天、龍、神及人非人——
T12n0345_p0162c17(01)║為講說經？」 初夜欲竟，佛告阿難：「取中衣來，
T12n0345_p0162c18(02)║吾體少冷。」 阿難受教即取奉進。 上夜已竟，
T12n0345_p0162c19(03)║入於中夜，復命阿難取上衣來：「吾寒欲著。」
T12n0345_p0162c20(03)║ 即復進之。 中夜已竟，入於後夜，復命阿難：
T12n0345_p0162c21(05)║「取眾集衣來，吾欲著之。」 即復重進。 佛便服著告諸比丘：
T12n0345_p0162c22(00)║「吾聽出家學者，一時著三法衣，
T12n0345_p0162c23(05)║假使寒者亦可複之。所以者何？後世邊地寒涼國城，
T12n0345_p0162c24(02)║不堪單薄，隨其土地應著複重。
T12n0345_p0162c25(07)║佛無寒無熱無飢無渴。所以者何？為處寒土不著複重，
T12n0345_p0162c26(03)║或致疾病，或能悔退，不能究竟求道之意，
T12n0345_p0162c27(04)║是為如來善權方便。
T12n0345_p0162c28(00)║「何故如來坐於草蓐？為來世人出家學者，
T12n0345_p0162c29(01)║或貪鮮好床座榻机，志在安軟不加精進，
T12n0345_p0163a01(02)║或有少福，不得好坐氍氀毾[登*毛]重莚被蓐，
T12n0345_p0163a02(02)║怨望退卻。心當念言：『如來世尊身欲成佛，
T12n0345_p0163a03(03)║坐於草蓐，不著好床，乃成佛道。何況我等當慕好座？』
T12n0345_p0163a04(00)║佛言所教，隨其習俗重茵累蓐，不妨于道，
T12n0345_p0163a05(01)║細軟不悅麤堅不憂，人心難齊志行若干。
T12n0345_p0163a06(02)║故以權變現若干教，是為如來善權方便。
T12n0345_p0163a07(00)║「何故菩薩復起飯食，
T12n0345_p0163a08(10)║傍無德者自餓求道？夫以飢餓不能興慧，故安隱食因成道德。
T12n0345_p0163a09(02)║說菩薩法開化群萌，多所安隱不以勤苦，
T12n0345_p0163a10(03)║菩薩受食得用成佛，由斯逮于一三昧定，
T12n0345_p0163a11(04)║以一三昧住百千劫，是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0163a12(00)║「何故菩薩閑居求道？草蓐敷于樹下，
T12n0345_p0163a13(03)║用過去佛不貪床座，坐敷說諦吉祥禮義，
T12n0345_p0163a14(04)║設使菩薩說法粗略則入利義，
T12n0345_p0163a15(09)║其有以草施菩薩者因發道意，佛時授吉祥之決：
T12n0345_p0163a16(08)║『汝於方來當得成為佛，號離垢如來至真等正覺。』
T12n0345_p0163a17(05)║是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0163a18(00)║「何故菩薩坐佛樹下，
T12n0345_p0163a19(10)║使魔雲集？設不速趣無上正真道者，其魔波旬不敢至菩薩所。又，
T12n0345_p0163a20(01)║族姓子！菩薩初坐樹下，心自念言：
T12n0345_p0163a21(06)║『誰於欲界四域最尊？人從教者，當令詣吾俱戰決之。』
T12n0345_p0163a22(02)║爾時具足入諸通慧，故使魔試。
T12n0345_p0163a23(07)║其魔兵師八萬四千億，天、龍、鬼神、揵沓和、阿須倫、迦留羅、
T12n0345_p0163a24(02)║真陀羅、摩[目*侯]勒，皆發無上正真道意，
T12n0345_p0163a25(05)║是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0163a26(00)║「何故如來已成佛道，正坐七日而不起行，
T12n0345_p0163a27(01)║察樹無厭？是諸天子見其德行變化感動，
T12n0345_p0163a28(02)║心大歡喜，各心念言：
T12n0345_p0163a29(12)║『吾等當求斯如來心何所倚乎？』宿夜七日一心專精，求之不得。緣是之故，
T12n0345_p0163b01(00)║乃觀世尊三十二相，
T12n0345_p0163b02(09)║心益踊躍則發無上正真道意，當來之世亦逮如茲坐于佛樹。
T12n0345_p0163b03(02)║由斯如來坐樹七日，是為菩薩善權方便。
T12n0345_p0163b04(00)║「何故菩薩得成佛已，
T12n0345_p0163b05(10)║勸率無數天人之眾？梵天不請亦不說法，於是如來心自念言：
T12n0345_p0163b06(02)║『其在欲界不可稱計諸天集會，
T12n0345_p0163b07(06)║及魔眷屬鬼神羅剎，設見菩薩師子吼步輒發道意，
T12n0345_p0163b08(03)║見歡喜者緣致無為。』又，族姓子！詣佛樹下，
T12n0345_p0163b09(04)║菩薩即時放頂相光，普照魔宮及三千大千世界，
T12n0345_p0163b10(02)║於其光明出一音聲：『今釋種子能仁之尊，
T12n0345_p0163b11(03)║棄國捐家，今成無上正真之道，已過汝界多度人民，
T12n0345_p0163b12(00)║不可貲量空汝國境，宜當尋往與共戰鬥。』
T12n0345_p0163b13(01)║時魔聞斯，甚大愁毒，嚴四部兵，
T12n0345_p0163b14(06)║具足三十那術垓俱，往詣佛樹。於時菩薩以智慧寶，
T12n0345_p0163b15(03)║建立大慈慧明之勝紫磨金臂，諸天龍神釋梵所敬。
T12n0345_p0163b16(00)║時梵志念：『梵天化我，我從梵生，莫能超踰。
T12n0345_p0163b17(01)║世無尊師，梵天為上。』如來念曰：
T12n0345_p0163b18(07)║『吾致梵天令眾人見，諸天龍神皆倚于梵，
T12n0345_p0163b19(07)║梵天猶尚稽首禮佛，宜當勸助如應說法，若無勸請如來不說。
T12n0345_p0163b20(00)║承佛威神，令梵天來以法助勸，
T12n0345_p0163b21(05)║假使眾人敬念梵天，當勸如來。』於是梵天，
T12n0345_p0163b22(06)║自捨其宮來詣世尊。大梵勸佛轉法輪，
T12n0345_p0163b23(08)║時六百八十萬梵天皆發無上正真道意，悉歎頌曰：
T12n0345_p0163b24(00)║「『佛尊無有極， 最勝不可及，
T12n0345_p0163b25(00)║行善權方便， 是亦為如來。』」
T12n0345_p0163b26(00)║佛告慧上菩薩：「如來所現餘殃有十，
T12n0345_p0163b27(03)║是亦世尊善權方便。當了至誠，欲使如來有毛髮瑕，
T12n0345_p0163b28(00)║不具殖德本，欲令有短，行不具足，
T12n0345_p0163b29(04)║逮成正覺坐佛樹者，此亦不然。
