釋迦譜 1.447

1.447

爾時菩薩。次復觀人。見從中陰始欲入胎。父母和合以顛倒想。起於愛心。即以不淨而為己身。既處胎已。在於生熟二藏之間。熏炙身體如地獄苦。至滿十月然後方生。初生之時。而為外人之所抱執。麁澁苦痛如被刀劍。如是不久復歸老死。更為嬰兒輪轉五道。不能自悟。菩薩道已起大悲心。而自思惟。眾生皆有如斯之患。云何於中耽著五欲。橫計為樂。而不能斷顛倒根本。

Then the Bodhisattva next observed human beings. He saw that, beginning from the intermediate state when about to enter the womb, their parents unite, and through perverted notions, give rise to thoughts of lust, whereby impure fluids become their own bodies. Once dwelling in the womb, located between the raw and digested receptacles, their bodies are scorched and smoked as if by the torments of hell. Only after ten months are fulfilled are they born. At the time of first birth, they are held and handled by other people, experiencing coarse, harsh suffering and pain as if pierced by knives and swords. In this manner, before long, they return to old age and death, once again becoming infants and revolving through the five paths, unable to awaken on their own. After the Bodhisattva [saw] this path, he gave rise to great compassion and thought to himself: 'Sentient beings all suffer from afflictions such as these; why do they indulge in the five desires, perversely regarding them as pleasure, and remain unable to sever the root of inverted views?'
