大方便佛報恩經 3.6

3.6

爾時六師見眾人集聚，設諸供養，種種餚饍。六師問言：「汝等諸人設是供養，欲請國王耶？王子耶？」答言：「非也。」「若不爾者，為請大臣耶？婆羅門居士耶？若不爾者，親族會耶？」答言：「非也。欲請於佛。」六師問言：「佛者是誰？」答言：「一切智人。」復言：「一切智人為是誰？」答言：「大慈悲父。汝不知耶？白淨王種，豪尊第一，從劫初已來，嫡嫡相承，作轉輪王。近來二世不作轉輪王，雖不作轉輪王，而作閻浮提王。兄弟三人，其最長者號曰淨飯王；其次弟名曰斛飯王；其最小者名曰甘露飯王。淨飯王生二子，長者名悉達，小者名難陀。斛飯王復生二子，長者名提婆達，小者名阿難。甘露飯王生一女，名甘露味女。爾時大兄悉達太子出城觀看，見老病死患，憂思不食。悲念人生當有此患，無貴無賤，有形之類，無免此者。即夜踰出宮城，菩提樹下苦行六年，然後得成一切智，故號一切智人。獨悟成佛，具十力、四無所畏、十八不共法乃至一切種智。其生七日，母命便終，生忉利天。佛為母說法經九十日，却後一七當還閻浮提。」

At that time, seeing the crowd gathered together and preparing various offerings of diverse delicacies, the six teachers asked, "All of you people who prepare these offerings—do you wish to invite the king? Or a prince?" They answered, "No." "If not so, is it to invite the chief ministers? Or brāhmaṇas and householders? If not so, is it a gathering of your kinfolk?" They answered, "No. We wish to invite the Buddha." The six teachers asked, "Who is this Buddha?" They answered, "The Omniscient One." Again they asked, "Who is this Omniscient One?" They answered, "The Father of Great Compassion. Do you not know? He is of the lineage of King Śuddhodana, foremost in noble eminence. From the beginning of the kalpa onward, hereditary succession passed down continuously as Cakravartins. In the recent two generations, they did not become Cakravartins; though not Cakravartins, they were kings of Jambudvīpa. There were three brothers: the eldest was named King Śuddhodana, the middle brother was named King Droṇodana, and the youngest was named King Amṛtodana. King Śuddhodana begot two sons: the elder named Siddhārtha, and the younger named Nanda. King Droṇodana also begot two sons: the elder named Devadatta, and the younger named Ānanda. King Amṛtodana begot a daughter named Amṛtā. At that time, the eldest brother, Prince Siddhārtha, went outside the city to view the sights. Seeing the afflictions of old age, sickness, and death, he was filled with sorrowful thoughts and could not eat. He thought with sorrow that human life inevitably suffers these afflictions, whether noble or base; among all embodied beings, none can escape them. That very night he leapt over the palace walls and went forth. Beneath the Bodhi tree he practiced austerities for six years, and thereafter attained omniscience; thus he is called the Omniscient One. Awakening alone to become a Buddha, he possesses the ten powers, the four fearlessnesses, the eighteen distinct qualities, up to the knowledge of all aspects. Seven days after his birth, his mother's life came to an end, and she was reborn in Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. The Buddha expounded the Dharma for his mother for ninety days, and after one week he will return to Jambudvīpa."
