般若波羅蜜多心經幽贊 2.6

2.6

生有五種。一、除災生。由願自在，為大魚等濟諸飢乏，為大醫藥救諸疾病，為大善巧善和諍鬪，為大國王如法息苦，為大天神斷邪見行，為火、為水、為乘、為船、為種種物息除災患。二、隨類生。願自在力，於傍生等惡類中生，彼所行惡而自不行，彼不行善而自行之，如入酒肆能立其志，入諸婬舍示欲之過，為說正法除彼過失。三、大勢生。稟性生時，壽量、形色、族姓、貴富最為殊勝，能除眾生輕慢等過。四、增上生，受十王果，自在化導，隨所應生。五、最後生，此生資糧已極圓滿，如慈氏等生婆羅門大國師家，如釋迦等生剎帝利大國王家，能現等覺，作諸佛事。

There are five kinds of birth: 1. Birth to remove calamity: through the mastery of vows, taking birth as a great fish or the like to relieve hunger and famine, as great medicine to cure diseases, as a great peacemaker to skillfully harmonize disputes, as a great king to quell suffering in accordance with Dharma, as a great deity to cut off heterodox views, or as fire, water, vehicles, boats, and various things to quell disasters and calamities. 2. Birth according to class: through the power of mastery of vows, taking birth among evil classes such as beasts; not doing oneself the evil they practice, and doing oneself the good they do not practice; just as entering a tavern one can maintain one's resolution, or entering brothels one demonstrates the faults of sensual desires, preaching the correct Dharma for them to eliminate their faults. 3. Birth of great power: at the time of taking birth according to one's constitution, one's lifespan, physical form, clan, and wealth are most supreme, able to eliminate the faults of arrogance and contempt among sentient beings. 4. Superior birth: receiving the fruit of being the ten kings, freely transforming and guiding, taking birth wherever appropriate. 5. Final birth: the provisions for this birth are already utterly perfected; like Maitreya and others born into the family of a great Brahman state preceptor, or like Śākyamuni and others born into the family of a great Kṣatriya king, able to manifest equal enlightenment and perform all Buddha-activities.
