佛祖歷代通載 3.11

3.11

（五　癸未）　世尊示成道。苦行六年既滿。沐於熙泥連河。受牧牛女之乳糜。納吉祥之軟草詣菩提樹王坐金剛座上三十四心示成正覺。號天人師。具一切智。住世垂訓四十九年。說法三時初中後善。以有空言破空有執。二邊既離中道斯存。俾利鈍機發修自行。故演而伸之。為八萬四千之法藏也。博施濟眾因果張焉。斷惡懲善聖凡別矣。群生自茲有仗也。

(5. Guiwei) The Bhagavān manifested attaining enlightenment. Having completed six years of asceticism, he bathed in the Nairañjanā River, accepted milk-rice from the cowherd maiden, received the soft auspicious grass, went to the Bodhi tree king, sat on the vajra seat, and through thirty-four mind-moments manifested true awakening, styled Teacher of Gods and Humans, endowed with all-knowledge. Remaining in the world to deliver teachings for forty-nine years, he expounded the Dharma in three turnings, good in the beginning, middle, and end. With words of existence and emptiness he shattered attachments to emptiness and existence; once the two extremes were abandoned, the Middle Way was preserved, prompting sharp and dull capacities alike to cultivate their own practice. Therefore, he unfolded and extended it into the eighty-four thousand treasuries of Dharma. Extending charity widely to deliver the multitudes, cause and effect were displayed; severing evil and rewarding good, sage and ordinary were distinguished. From this, all sentient beings had something to rely upon.
