續高僧傳 23.12

23.12

無益之身　惡煩人功　解形窮石
散體巖松　天人修羅　山神樹神
有求道者　觀我捨身　願令眾生
見我骸骨　煩惱大船　皆為覆沒
願令眾生　聞我捨命　天耳成就
菩提究竟　願令眾生　憶念我時
具足念力　多聞總持　此報一罷
四大彫零　泉林逕絕　巖室無聲
普施禽獸　乃至蜫蟲　食肉飲血
善根內充　願我未來　速成善逝
身心自在　要相拔濟　此身不淨
底下屎囊　九孔常流　如漏隄塘
此身可惡　不可瞻觀　薄皮裹血
垢污塗漫　此身臭穢　猶如死狗
六六合成　不從花有　觀此臭身
無常所囚　進退無免　會遭蟻螻
此身難保　有命必輸　狐狼所噉
終成蟲蛆　天人男女　好醜貴賤
死火所燒　暫見如電　死法侵人
怨中之怨　吾以為讎　誓斷根源
此身無樂　毒蛇之篋　四大圍遶
百病交涉　有名苦聚　老病死藪
身心熱惱　多諸過咎　此身無我
以不自在　無實橫計　凡夫所宰
久遠迷惑　妄倒所使　喪失善根
畜生同死　棄捨百千　血乳成海
骨積大山　當來兼倍　未曾為利
虛受勤苦　眾生無益　於法無補
忍痛捨施　功用無邊　誓不退轉
出離四淵　捨此穢形　願生淨土
一念花開　彌陀佛所　速見十方
諸佛賢聖　長辭三途　正道決定
報得五通　自在飛行　寶樹飡法
證大無生　法身自在　不斷三有
殄除魔道　護法為首　十地滿足
神化無方　德備四勝　號稱法王
願捨此身已　早令身自在
法身自在已　在在諸趣中
隨有利益處　護法救眾生
又復業應盡　有為法皆然
三界皆無常　時來不自在
他殺及自死　終歸如是處
智者所不樂　應當如是思
眾緣既運奏　業盡於今日

This useless body loathes troubling the labor of men; / I dissolve my form upon the rugged crags, / I scatter my limbs among the cliff pines. / Devas, humans, and asuras, / mountain spirits and tree spirits, / who seek the Way, / look upon my abandonment of the body. / May it cause sentient beings / who see my bones / to find the great ship of their defilements / completely overturned and submerged. / May it cause sentient beings / who hear of my forsaking life / to accomplish the divine ear, / culminating in bodhi. / May it cause sentient beings, / when they remember me, / to be fully endowed with the power of mindfulness, / of erudition, and dhāraṇī. / Once this retribution is ended, / the four great elements wither away; / the paths through springs and groves are cut off, / and the cliff chamber becomes silent. / Universally bestowed upon birds and beasts, / down to creeping insects: / eating the flesh and drinking the blood, / may roots of goodness fill them within. / May I in the future / swiftly become a Sugata; / with body and mind sovereign, / I shall surely rescue them. / This body is impure, / a bag of excrement at its base; / its nine apertures constantly flowing, / like a breached dike. / This body is loathsome, / not to be looked upon: / thin skin wrapping blood, / coated and smeared with filth. / This body is foul and putrid, / just like a dead dog, / composed of the six and six, / not born from a flower. / Contemplating this stinking body, / imprisoned by impermanence, / there is no escape whether advancing or retreating; / it will inevitably meet ants and lice. / This body is hard to protect; / wherever there is life, it must be lost, / devoured by foxes and wolves, / in the end turning into maggots and worms. / Devas, humans, men, and women, / the lovely and the hideous, the noble and the base, / are all burned by the fire of death, / seen only fleetingly like lightning. / The dharma of death invades humanity, / the enemy among all enemies; / I take it as my foe, / and vow to sever its source. / This body has no pleasure, / a basket of venomous snakes; / surrounded by the four great elements, / the hundred illnesses intertwine. / Known as an aggregate of suffering, / a swamp of old age, illness, and death; / with burning vexation in body and mind, / it possesses many faults. / This body has no self, / because it lacks sovereignty; / with no reality, falsely imputed, / dominated by ordinary mortals. / Long confused and deluded, / driven by erroneous inversions, / losing their roots of goodness, / dying together with beasts. / Cast away hundreds of thousands of times, / blood and milk would form an ocean; / bones piled up would make a great mountain, / yet the future will double it. / Never having yielded benefit, / vainly enduring hardship and pain; / of no profit to sentient beings, / of no help to the Dharma. / Enduring pain to give it up in abandonment, / its efficacy is boundless; / I vow never to retrogress, / and to transcend the four abysses. / Abandoning this defiled form, / I vow to be born in the Pure Land; / in a single thought-moment the flower opens, / at the dwelling of Amitābha Buddha. / Swiftly seeing the ten directions, / all Buddhas, worthies, and sages; / bidding eternal farewell to the three bad destinies, / determined in the correct path. / Receiving as retribution the five spiritual powers, / flying freely at will; / feeding on the Dharma at the jeweled trees, / realizing the great non-arising. / Sovereign in the Dharma body, / not severing the three states of existence; / eradicating the ways of Māra, / foremost in defending the Dharma. / Fulfilling the ten stages, / spiritual transformations without bounds; / virtues complete in the four excellences, / titled King of the Dharma. / Having vowed to abandon this body, / may my form soon attain sovereignty; / once the Dharma body is sovereign, / everywhere throughout the destinies, / wherever there is benefit to be made, / I shall defend the Dharma and save sentient beings. / Moreover, karma must come to an end; / all conditioned dharmas are thus. / The three realms are all impermanent; / when the time arrives, there is no sovereignty. / Slain by others or dying of oneself, / in the end it comes to such a place. / That which the wise do not delight in, / one ought to contemplate like this. / All conditions having assembled, / karma comes to an end this day.
