5.46

又菩薩藏經云。爾時世尊告賢守長者曰。長者當知。我觀世間一切眾生。為十苦事之所逼迫。何謂為十。一者生苦逼迫。二者老苦逼迫。三者病苦逼迫。四者死苦逼迫。五者愁苦逼迫。六者怨苦逼迫。七者苦受逼迫。八者憂逼迫。九者痛惱逼迫。十者生死流轉大苦之所逼迫。我見如是十種苦事逼迫眾生。為得阿耨菩提出離如是逼迫事故。以淨信心捨釋氏家。趣無上道。復次長者。我觀世間一切眾生。於無數劫。具造百千那庾多拘胝過失。常為十種大毒箭所中。何謂為十。一者愛毒箭。二者無明毒箭。三者欲毒箭。四者貪毒箭。五者過失毒箭。六者愚癡毒箭。七者慢毒箭。八者見毒箭。九者有毒箭。十者無有毒箭。長者。我見眾生為於十種毒箭所中。求阿耨菩提。求斷如是毒箭故。以淨信心。捨釋氏家。趣無上道。

Furthermore, the *Bodhisattvapiṭaka-sūtra* states: At that time, the World-Honoured One addressed the elder Bhadrapāla, saying, 'Elder, you should know that I observe all sentient beings in the world being oppressed by ten matters of suffering. What are the ten? First, the oppression of the suffering of birth; second, the oppression of the suffering of old age; third, the oppression of the suffering of sickness; fourth, the oppression of the suffering of death; fifth, the oppression of the suffering of grief; sixth, the oppression of the suffering of enmity; seventh, the oppression of painful feeling; eighth, the oppression of anxiety; ninth, the oppression of pain and distress; tenth, the oppression of the great suffering of transmigration in birth and death. Seeing sentient beings oppressed by such ten kinds of suffering, in order to attain anuttarasambodhi and escape from such oppressions, I left the Śākya clan with pure faith and set forth toward the unsurpassed path. Furthermore, elder, I observe that all sentient beings in the world, throughout countless kalpas, have committed hundreds of thousands of nayutas of koṭis of faults, and are constantly struck by ten kinds of great poisonous arrows. What are the ten? First, the poisonous arrow of affection; second, the poisonous arrow of ignorance; third, the poisonous arrow of desire; fourth, the poisonous arrow of craving; fifth, the poisonous arrow of fault; sixth, the poisonous arrow of folly; seventh, the poisonous arrow of pride; eighth, the poisonous arrow of view; ninth, the poisonous arrow of existence; tenth, the poisonous arrow of non-existence. Elder, seeing sentient beings struck by these ten kinds of poisonous arrows, seeking anuttarasambodhi and seeking to sever such poisonous arrows, I left the Śākya clan with pure faith and set forth toward the unsurpassed path.'
