法苑珠林 33.57

33.57

又賢愚經云。爾時首陀會天下閻浮提。至世尊所請佛及僧洗浴供養。世尊默然許可。即設飲食并辦洗具溫室。暖水調適酥油浣草。皆悉備有。於是世尊及諸比丘。納受其供共洗浴已。并厚飲食。其食甘美世所希有。食竟澡漱各還本處。是時阿難白佛。此天往昔作何功德。形體殊妙威相奇特。光明顯赫如大寶山。佛告阿難。乃往過去毘婆尸佛時。此天彼世為貧家子。常行庸作以供身口。聞佛說洗僧之德。情中欣然便勤作務。得少錢穀用設洗具。并及飲食請佛眾僧而以盡奉。由此福行壽終之後。生首陀會天有此光相。七佛已來乃至千佛出世亦皆如是洗佛及僧。佛授記曰。於未來世兩阿僧祇百劫之中當得作佛。號曰淨身。十號具足。

Furthermore, the Sūtra of the Wise and the Foolish says: At that time, a deva from the Śuddhāvāsa Heaven descended to Jambudvīpa, went to the World-Honored One, and invited the Buddha and the saṃgha to bathe and receive offerings. The World-Honored One silently assented. The deva immediately prepared food and drink, and also furnished bathing utensils and a bathhouse, with warm water properly adjusted, ghee, oil, and soap-grass—all fully provided. Thereupon, the World-Honored One and all the bhikṣus accepted his offering, bathed together, and then partook of a rich meal; the food was sweet and delicious, rare in the world. When the meal was finished, they rinsed their mouths and each returned to their own place. At that time, Ānanda addressed the Buddha, "What merit did this deva perform in the past to have a bodily form so exquisite, majestic marks so extraordinary, and brilliance so radiant, like a great mountain of jewels?" The Buddha told Ānanda, "Long ago, in the time of Vipaśyin Buddha, this deva was a son of a poor family in that lifetime, constantly working for hire to supply his body and mouth. Hearing the Buddha explain the merit of bathing the saṃgha, his heart was delighted, and he worked diligently, obtaining a small amount of money and grain to prepare bathing utensils and food and drink, inviting the Buddha and the monastic saṃgha to offer them completely. Due to this meritorious practice, after his life ended, he was born in the Śuddhāvāsa Heaven and possessed these radiant marks. From the seven Buddhas down to the appearance of a thousand Buddhas, he has also bathed the Buddhas and their saṃghas in this manner." The Buddha bestowed a prophecy upon him, saying, "In a future age, within two asaṃkhyeyas and a hundred kalpas, you shall become a Buddha named Pure Body, complete with the ten epithets."
