Translated by Master Yao Qin Sanzang Kumarosh

As I heard, at one time the Buddha was in the country of Sawei and only gave the garden of solitude, with 2,500 great bhikshus and 38,000 Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At that time, Shizun led the crowd and went straight south, and suddenly saw a pile of bones on the side of the road. At that time, if you come to the dry bones, throw yourself to the ground and worship respectfully.

Ananda clasped his palms together and said, "World-honored! If you are a master of the Three Realms, a loving father of the four beings, and everyone respects you, why do you worship dry bones? ”

The Buddha told Ananda: "Although you are my first disciple, you have been a monk for a long time, and your governor is not extensive. This pile of dry bones may be my ancestors in my previous life, and I have more parents. Because of the cause, I pray today. ”

The Buddha said to Ananda: "Thou shalt divide this pile of dry bones into two parts, and if it is a man's bone, it will be white and heavy; If it is a female bone, it is black and light. ”

Ananda said: "World-honored, a man is alive, with shoes and hats, and he is well-dressed, and he knows that he is a man at a glance." When a woman is alive, she wears more grease powder, or lavender musk, and if it is decorated, it is known that it is the body of a woman. Now after death, the bones are like white bones, teach disciples and others, how to recognize them. ”

The Buddha told Ananda: "If you are a man, when you are alive, you will enter the Garan, listen to the teachings, worship the Three Jewels, and recite the name of the Buddha; Therefore, its bones are white and heavy. Women in the world are shorter than intelligence, easy to indulge in love, give birth to men and daughters, and think of vocation; Every child is born, relying on milk to live, milk from blood change, each child drinks a lot of white milk, so haggard, the bones are black, and the amount is also light. ”

Ananda heard the words, cut his heart painfully, wept and wept, and said: "World-honored! Mother's kindness, how can the cloud repay? ”

The Buddha said to Ananda: "Listen to you today, I should be you, and explain separately: Mother's womb and childbirth, all after ten months, is very hard. In the womb, in the first month, like a pearl on the grass, the morning does not protect the twilight, the morning gathers in the future, and the afternoon dissipates. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the second month, it is just like a condensation. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the third month, it is like clotting blood. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the fourth month, she takes a slightly human form. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the fifth month, the child is in the mother's womb and gives birth to quintuples. What is five? The head is one cell, and the two elbows and two knees are one cell, and each is a cell, making a total of five cells. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the sixth month, the child is in the mother's womb, and the six essences are opened, which is six? The eyes are one essence, the ears are two essences, the nose is three essences, the mouth is four essences, and the tongue is five essences, which means six essences. And when the mother conceived the child, in the middle of the seventh month, the child was in the womb of the mother, and gave birth to the joints, three hundred and sixty, and the raw milk, eighty-four thousand. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the eighth month, she gives birth to the mind, as well as the nine orifices. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the ninth month, the child is in the mother's womb, absorbing food, and the various substances that come out, such as peaches, pears, garlic, and grains. In her mother's body, the raw organs are downward, and the cooked organs are upward, like the ground, there are mountains towering out, and there are three mountains, No. 1 Sumeru, No. 2 Ye Mountain, and No. 3 Blood Mountain. This set Yu Mountain, once collapsed, turned into one, and the mother's blood coagulated into fetal food. When the mother is pregnant, in the middle of the tenth month, all the children are completed one by one, and then they are born. If he is determined to be a filial son, he will put his fists together and be born peacefully, without harming his mother, and his mother will have nothing to suffer. If the child is determined to be the son of the five rebellions, the mother's womb is damaged, the mother's heart and liver are pulled, and the mother is crossed by the bones, like a thousand knives, and it seems to be like a thousand blades to save the heart. If you are bitter and born here, you can say more clearly, there are still ten graces:

First, the pregnancy protects the grace; Second, the suffering of childbirth; Third, giving birth to a child forgets sorrows; Fourth, swallowing bitterness and spitting Ganen; Fifth, return to dry and wet; Sixth, breastfeeding and nurturing grace; Seventh, the washing of impure grace; Eighth, travel far away to remember the grace; Ninth, deep compassion; Tenth, the ultimate mercy and grace.

First, the pregnancy guardian is glorious

The karma is heavy, and now I have come to take care of the mother's womb, and the five internal organs are born in more than one month, and the seven or seven or six are finely opened.

The weight is like a mountain, and the wind disaster is stopped, and the clothes are not hung, and the mirror is dusty.

Second, the grace of suffering in childbirth is said

After ten months of pregnancy, dystocia is about to come, and the dynasty is like a serious illness, and every day is like a drowsiness.

It is difficult to describe the fear, the tears are full of tears, and the sorrow is told to the relatives, but the fear of death will invade.

Third, give birth to a child and forget your worries

On the day of a loving mother's birth, her five organs are always open, her body and mind are suffocated, and her blood flows like a slaughtered sheep.

Life has heard that the child is healthy, the joy is more often, the joy is determined and the sorrow is coming, and the pain is heartwarming.

Fourth, swallow bitterness and vomit Gan'en Song

When the parents were deeply gracious, and when they did not lose their pity, they spit out without a moment's rest, and they did not frown when they swallowed bitterness.

Love is unbearable, and grace is deep and compassionate, but the child is full, and the loving mother is hungry.

Fifth, when you return to dry, you will be wet

The mother is willing to throw herself into the wet, move the child to dry, fill the hunger and thirst of the two breasts, and cover the wind and cold with her sleeves.

Enlian Heng wastes pillows, and only by petting can he be happy, but he makes the child stable, and the loving mother does not seek peace.

Sixth, the grace of breastfeeding and nurturing is said

A loving mother is like the earth, a strict father is worthy of heaven, and the grace of the cover is equal, and so is the grace of the father and mother.

does not hate no angry eyes, does not dislike hand and foot spasms, gives birth to a child, and pities all day long.

Seventh, wash the impure grace and say

This is hibiscus, the spirit is healthy and abundant, the eyebrows are new and willowy, and the face is lotus-red.

En deeply destroyed the jade appearance, washed and damaged the dragon, just to pity men and women, and the mother changed her appearance.

Eighth, travel far away to remember the ode to grace

Death is unbearable, life is sad and true, the son is out of the mountain, and the mother remembers in another country.

Day and night, thousands of lines of tears, like an ape crying for his son, breaking his liver and intestines inch by inch.

Ninth, we should be deeply sympathetic and gracious

Parents are kind, deep gratitude is difficult, children are willing to bear hardships, and children are uneasy.

Hearing the road and traveling far away, the poor child was cold at night, and the men and women worked hard temporarily, which made the mother sad.

Tenth, the ultimate mercy and grace ode to it

When the parents are deeply gracious and merciful, they sit up and chase each other, and they are close and far away.

The mother is 100 years old, and she is 80 years old, and she wants to know that her love is broken, and her life is separated. ”

The Buddha told Ananda: "I am a spectator, although I have a good character, my heart is foolish, I don't think about my father and mother, I have great kindness, I don't have respect, I don't have gratitude, I don't have kindness, I don't have filial piety. Ah Niang conceived a child, in the middle of October, restless, like a heavy burden, unable to eat, like a long patient. When the moon is full, it suffers from all kinds of pains, and it must be produced in a moment, and it is feared that it is impermanent, like killing pigs and sheep, and blood flows all over the ground. Suffering like this, giving birth to a child's body, swallowing bitterness and spitting sweetness, holding and nurturing, washing impurity, not worrying about labor, enduring cold and heat, tireless work, lying in a dry place, sleeping in a wet place. In the past three years, drinking the white blood of mothers, babies and children, and even adults, teaching etiquette and righteousness, marriage and planning, preparing for capital, carrying lotus hardships, and working a hundred times harder, not to mention grace.

When a man or a woman is sick, and the parents are frightened and very sick, it is regarded as a normal thing. If the child is sick, the mother will be cured. If you are nurtured, you may become an adult early. and its growth, but it is unfilial. Respect for relatives and words, do not know how to be obedient, deal with rudeness, and look at each other with evil eyes.

Bullying uncles, beating and scolding brothers, dishonoring family affection, and being rude. Although he had been in school, he did not follow the teachings, and his parents did not obey the orders, and his brothers spoke together, and they violated each other. In and out, he does not open the hall, his words and deeds are arrogant, and he does things without permission. Parents reprimand, uncles speak wrongly, children and children are merciful, respect and cover, gradually grow up, ruthless and unbalanced, do not obey, but resent. Abandon relatives and friends, attach friends to the wicked, become accustomed for a long time, and recognize wrongdoing. Or they were lured by others, fled to another country, disobeyed their fathers and mothers, and left home. or because of brokerage, or for politics, it is a marriage, and it is hindered by Si, and he does not return home for a long time. Or in another country, unable to be cautious, murdered, implicated, punished in vain, and imprisoned. Or they are plagued by illness and misfortune, imprisoned and starved, and no one looks at them, and they are despised by others, and they are abandoned on the streets. Therefore, at the end of his life, no one rescued him, he swelled and rotted, and the wind blew in the wind, and the white bones were scattered. If you send him to the land, you will be obedient with your relatives and relatives, and you will be obedient to your kindness, and you will not know the two elders, and you will always be worried, or you will be blind because of your weeping; or because of sorrow, pharyngeal disease; or the fate of the son, decay and death, as a ghost and a soul, never parted.

Or repetition of the son, do not worship studies, friends chase heretics, scoundrels and rudeness, good habits are useless, fight and steal, offend the country, drink and drink, adultery is not faulty, tired brothers, annoyed fathers and mothers, go to the morning and dusk, do not ask respect, stop the cold and temperature, obscure morning and twilight, always obediently support, make a bed and recommend pillows, do not know what to hear, consult daily life, from then on, parents are old, the appearance is decrepit, shame to see people, endure bullying.

Or there are fathers and mothers, who are alone in the empty house, like guests, who live in other houses, who are cold, hungry, and thirsty, and who have not heard of it. Crying day and night, sighing to oneself, should be willing, offering and respecting relatives. If you are vain, it is nothing, every time you are ashamed, you are afraid of people and laugh.

or to keep food and wealth, to provide for his wife and children, and to forget his fatigue, and not to avoid shame; Wives and concubines are restrained, everything is obeyed, the elders are angry, and they are not afraid.

or a woman, suitable for others, when unmarried, all are filial; The marriage has ended, and the unfilial piety has increased. Parents are slightly angry, that is, resentful; The husband beats and scolds, endures willingness, has a different surname, has a deep affection, and thinks that his own flesh and blood are sparse. Or with the husband, other counties, parting with the father, no intention of admiration, cut off the news, no communication, so that the father, hanging belly, can not be at ease, as if hanging upside down, every thought of meeting, such as thirst for pulp, compassion for descendants, there is no rest.

The kindness of parents is immeasurable, the scorn of unfilial piety, and it is difficult to report it. ”

At that time, when the public heard the Buddha's words about the kindness of their parents, they threw themselves to the ground, beat their chests and threw themselves on themselves, and all the pores of their bodies were bleeding, and they were suffocated on the ground. It hurts, it hurts! We are deep sinners, never aware, like a night swim, now I know what is wrong, my heart is broken, I hope that the world will be sad and rescued, how can I repay my parents for their deep kindness? ”

At that time, Rulai immediately told the public with eight deep Sanskrit sounds: "You should know that I will explain to you separately today: If there are people who carry their father on their left shoulder and their mother on their right shoulder, grind their skin to the bone, pierce their bones to their marrow, go around Mount Meru, and after hundreds of eons, their blood flows to their ankles, and they still cannot repay their parents' deep kindness; If someone suffers from famine, for the sake of his father and mother, he will do his best, and his belly will be cut and broken, like a fine dust, and after hundreds of thousands of calamities, he will still not be able to repay the deep kindness of his parents; If someone, for the sake of his father and mother, holds a sharp knife in his hand, gouges out his eyes, and dedicates himself to Rulai, after hundreds of thousands of eons, he still can't repay his parents' deep kindness; If someone, for the sake of his father and mother, also cut his heart and liver with a sharp knife, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and he did not spare the pain, after a hundred thousand eons, he still could not repay the deep kindness of his parents; If someone, for his father and mother, hundreds of thousands of swords and halberds, a moment of sashimi, in themselves, left and right, after hundreds of thousands of tribulations, still can not repay the deep kindness of their parents; If someone, for the sake of his father and mother, breaks the bones and produces the marrow, after hundreds of thousands of eons, he still can't repay the deep kindness of his parents; If someone, for the sake of his father and mother, swallowed hot iron pills, after hundreds of thousands of tribulations, his body was scorched, and he still couldn't repay his parents' deep kindness. ”

At that time, when the public heard the kindness of their parents mentioned by the Buddha, they wept and wept, cut their hearts bitterly, thought about nothing, spoke together, were deeply ashamed, and confessed to the Buddha: "World-honored! We are deep sinners, how can we repay the deep kindness of our parents? ”

The Buddha told his disciples: "If you want to repay your kindness, you should write this sutra for your parents, recite this sutra for your parents, repent of your sins for your parents, make offerings to your parents, fast for your parents, give blessings to your parents, and if you can do so, you will be called a filial son. If you don't do this, you're a heller. ”

The Buddha told Ananda: "Those who are unfilial will die badly and fall into the endless hell of Abi. This great hell is 80,000 miles long, surrounded by iron cities and surrounded by nets. The ground is also iron, full of fire, fierce fire, thunder and lightning. Boiling copper and iron juice, watering sinners, copper dogs and iron snakes, constantly spitting fireworks, burning and boiling, scorching grease, bitter and mournful, unbearable, hooked rods and spears, iron skewers, iron mallets and halberds, swords and trees, and sword wheels, like rain and clouds, falling from the air, or slashing or stabbing, punishing sinners, suffering through calamities, having no time to rest, and making them go to the rest of the hells, wearing braziers, running over with iron chariots, driving vertically and horizontally, splitting the intestines, scorching flesh and bones, and dying in one day. suffered like this, all because of the five rebellions and unfilial piety of the predecessor, so he was guilty. ”

At that time, when the public heard the kindness of their parents mentioned by the Buddha, they wept and wept and told Yu Rulai: "I am waiting for the present, how can I repay the deep kindness of my parents?" ”

The Buddha told his disciples: "If you want to repay your kindness, you should make this scripture for your parents, and you will truly repay your parents' kindness." can make a scroll and see a Buddha; can make ten volumes, and see ten Buddhas; can make a hundred scrolls and see a hundred Buddhas; can make a thousand scrolls and see a thousand Buddhas; You can make 10,000 scrolls and see 10,000 Buddhas. It is the Buddhas and so on who always come to protect them, set up others, give birth to parents, be born in heaven, receive all kinds of happiness, and leave hell suffering. ”

At that time, Ananda and all the people, the asuras, the garudas, the kinaras, the maharajas, the humans, the non-humans, the heavens, the dragons, the yakshas, the gandharvas, and the little kings, the holy kings of the wheel, when the people heard the words of the Buddha, their bodies stood on end, they wept and choked, and they could not cut themselves, and each made a vow: We will do everything in the future from now on, and we would rather break this body like a fine dust, and after a hundred thousand eons, we will not violate the holy religion of the Buddha; Rather pull out his tongue with an iron hook, and plough it with an iron plow, and the blood flows like a river, and after hundreds of thousands of eons, he swears not to violate the holy religion of Rulai; Rather with hundreds of thousands of sword wheels, in oneself, free entry and exit, swearing not to violate the holy religion of Rulai; Ning is entangled in iron nets, and after hundreds of thousands of tribulations, he swears not to violate the Holy Religion of Rulai; Rather chop his body to pieces, hundreds of thousands of sections, skin, flesh, muscles and bones are all scattered, after hundreds of thousands of eons, it will not violate the Holy Religion of Rulai. ”

At that time, Ananda rose peacefully from his seat, and the white Buddha said: "World-honored, what should be the name of this sutra?" What is the cloud? ”

The Buddha said to Ananda: "The name of this sutra is the sutra of the parents' kindness and difficulty, and if it is the name, you should hold it!" ”

At that time, the people, celestial beings, asuras, etc., all rejoiced when they heard what the Buddha said, believed in it, and bowed and retreated. (To be continued.)
