法苑珠林 77.21

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [77.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.77.21)

佛語帝釋。一切眾生皆有過罪。宜應放捨。化身還復釋形。而白佛言。此人慳貪不自衣食。五錢酒\[麩-夫+少\]著鹽和飲酒醉歌舞輕罵諸天。故我惱之。佛語帝釋。一切眾生皆有罪過。宜應放捨。佛語盧至。汝還歸家看汝財物。盧至白佛。所有財物帝釋用盡。歸家何為。帝釋語言。我不損汝一毫財物。盧至語言。我不信釋。唯信佛語。以信佛故即便得須陀洹果。時天龍八部及以四眾。凡聞是已得四道果。有種三乘因緣。

> The Buddha said to Śakra, “All sentient beings have faults and transgressions; you ought to let it go.” The transformed body returned to Śakra's form and said to the Buddha, “This man was stingy and would not clothe or feed himself. He bought ale and roasted flour with five coins, mixed them with salt, drank, became drunk, sang, danced, and reviled the gods. Therefore I distressed him.” The Buddha said to Śakra, “All sentient beings have transgressions; you ought to let it go.” The Buddha said to Luci, “Return home and inspect your wealth.” Luci said to the Buddha, “Śakra has exhausted all my wealth; why should I return home?” Śakra said to him, “I have not damaged a single hair's worth of your wealth.” Luci said, “I do not believe Śakra; I only believe the Buddha's words.” Because he believed the Buddha, he immediately attained the fruit of a srotāpanna. At that time, the eight classes of gods and dragons, as well as the fourfold assembly, all attained the four fruits of the path upon hearing this, and planted the causes and conditions for the three vehicles.
