一切智光明仙人慈心因緣不食肉經 1.17

1.17

「時，山樹神即積香薪以火然之，兔王母子圍遶仙人足滿七匝，白言：『大師！我今為法供養尊者。』仙人告言：『汝是畜生，雖有慈心何緣能辦？』兔白仙人：『我自以身供養仁者，為法久住，令諸眾生得饒益故。』作此語已，即語其子：『汝可隨意求覓水草，繫心思惟正念三寶。』爾時，兔子聞母所說，跪白母言：『如尊所說，無上大法，欲供養者，我亦願樂。』作此語已，自投火中，母隨後入。當於菩薩捨身之時，天地大動，乃至色界及以諸天，皆雨天華持用供養。

"Then the mountain tree deity piled up fragrant firewood and ignited it with fire. The hare king and its young circled the seer's feet a full seven times, and said: 'Great master! I now make an offering to the venerable one for the sake of the Dharma.' The seer told them: 'You are animals; although you have a mind of loving-kindness, by what means can you accomplish this?' The hare said to the seer: 'I myself offer my body to the benevolent one, so that the Dharma may abide long and all sentient beings may be benefited.' Having said this, it then said to its young: 'You may seek water and grass as you wish, tie your mind to contemplating and maintaining correct mindfulness of the Three Jewels.' Then the young hare, hearing what its mother had said, knelt and said to its mother: 'As the venerable one has said, for the supreme, great Dharma, to make an offering, I too am willing and glad to do so.' Having said this, it threw itself into the fire, and the mother followed after it. When the bodhisattvas abandoned their bodies, heaven and earth shook violently, and even throughout the realm of form and among the devas, heavenly flowers rained down as an offering.
