T12n0346_p0175c02║佛說大方廣善巧方便經卷第四
T12n0346_p0175c03║
T12n0346_p0175c04║　　　　西天譯經三藏朝奉大夫試光祿卿
T12n0346_p0175c05║　　　　傳法大師賜紫臣施護奉　詔譯
T12n0346_p0175c06║復次智上。我念過去世。時有五百商人入海
T12n0346_p0175c07║求寶。是時別有一商人。其性剛強猛利暴惡。
T12n0346_p0175c08║於海中路而忽相逢彼一商人即生惡心欲謀
T12n0346_p0175c09║珍寶彼自思惟。我今宜應設其方便悉斷彼
T12n0346_p0175c10║諸商人命已。當取珍寶還閻浮洲自受快樂。
T12n0346_p0175c11║是時五百商人眾中有一商主。名曰善御。其
T12n0346_p0175c12║性慈和於一切人常生悲愍。商主一時止息
T12n0346_p0175c13║而臥。忽於夢中見大海神出現其相。謂商主
T12n0346_p0175c14║言。汝今當知諸商眾外。別有一人其性暴惡。
T12n0346_p0175c15║如是色相如是名字。彼人起賊害心欲謀珍
T12n0346_p0175c16║寶。彼作是念應當速斷諸商人命。取其珍寶
T12n0346_p0175c17║還閻浮洲自受快樂。是故我今如彼所念而
T12n0346_p0175c18║先語汝。汝可思惟作何方便。令此惡人不造
T12n0346_p0175c19║殺業免地獄報。又復商眾得全其命。何以故。
T12n0346_p0175c20║此五百商人。皆於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提已
T12n0346_p0175c21║住不退轉。而彼惡人於如是住菩薩法者。若
T12n0346_p0175c22║造殺業永墮地獄無有出期。是故汝今宜設
T12n0346_p0175c23║方便善為救度。爾時善御商主。從夢覺已即
T12n0346_p0175c24║作是念。我於今時有何方便。令此惡人不造
T12n0346_p0175c25║殺業免地獄報。得諸商人各全其命。於一日
T12n0346_p0175c26║中如是思惟。求善方便而未能得。乃至七日
T12n0346_p0175c27║審諦思惟亦不能得。過七日已即作是念。我
T12n0346_p0175c28║今無復方便可得。但當於彼興殺心者先與
T12n0346_p0175c29║斷命。彼斷命故不造殺業免地獄報。又令餘
T12n0346_p0176a01║眾得全其命。如是念已而復籌量。我若與此
T12n0346_p0176a02║五百商人共斷其命。而五百人皆墮地獄。我
T12n0346_p0176a03║今宜應起大悲心為救護故。自手當殺。此殺
T12n0346_p0176a04║因者。設於百千劫中獲地獄報亦當忍受。但
T12n0346_p0176a05║能今時以如是大悲方便。令此惡人不造殺
T12n0346_p0176a06║業當免地獄無量劫苦。又令住菩薩法者。諸
T12n0346_p0176a07║商人眾安隱無難。爾時商主作是念已。即設
T12n0346_p0176a08║方便乃斷其命。時彼惡人既此命終得生天
T12n0346_p0176a09║界。智上。彼五百商人者。當知即是此賢劫中
T12n0346_p0176a10║五百如來。是時眾中為商主者。即我身是。我
T12n0346_p0176a11║於百千劫在輪迴中。以大悲心出生善巧方
T12n0346_p0176a12║便。如是種種救度眾生。於汝意。云何。菩薩摩
T12n0346_p0176a13║訶薩雖經百千劫在輪迴中。皆為以方便智
T12n0346_p0176a14║救度眾生。勿謂菩薩摩訶薩有業障可得。是
T12n0346_p0176a15║故當知諸佛菩薩諸所作業皆悉清淨。無復
T12n0346_p0176a16║少分障累可得。智上。又復當知如來應供正
T12n0346_p0176a17║等正覺。是金剛不壞之身。乃至舉足下足皆
T12n0346_p0176a18║以神通方便作大利益。是時舍衛城中有二
T12n0346_p0176a19║十人。忽與二十極惡知識而相值遇。是諸人
T12n0346_p0176a20║等互起惡心欲相謀殺。各各伺求彼彼方便。
T12n0346_p0176a21║時四十人承佛威神力故俱詣佛所。到佛所
T12n0346_p0176a22║已住立一面。爾時如來應供正等正覺。為欲
T12n0346_p0176a23║化度彼四十人。故於剎那間化一大人在佛
T12n0346_p0176a24║會中。即白大目乾連言。尊者當知今此大地。
T12n0346_p0176a25║不久出現諸草木相。而彼大人作是言。時世
T12n0346_p0176a26║尊即為垂其右足。於須臾間。而此大地即生
T12n0346_p0176a27║草木各一尺量。時尊者大目乾連白佛言。世
T12n0346_p0176a28║尊今所出現草木之相。我於餘方可能見不。
T12n0346_p0176a29║佛言不能。尊者大目乾連而即隨取少分草
T12n0346_p0176b01║木。乃自執持。時三千大千世界皆悉震動。于
T12n0346_p0176b02║是如來應供正等正覺。以神通力現自身相
T12n0346_p0176b03║出過梵界。而此草木亦復隨從出過梵界。又
T12n0346_p0176b04║復如來以神通力現大海中。而此草木亦隨
T12n0346_p0176b05║彼住。又復如來以神通力入大山間。而此草
T12n0346_p0176b06║木亦隨彼住。爾時如來還本座已即收右足。
T12n0346_p0176b07║而此草木亦安住不動。
T12n0346_p0176b08║爾時尊者阿難白佛言。世尊如來。往昔有何
T12n0346_p0176b09║因緣今現是相。佛言阿難。我於往昔為大商
T12n0346_p0176b10║主。入海求寶逢惡知識。我時以大悲心而斷
T12n0346_p0176b11║其命。昔因緣故今有是相。爾時世尊說伽陀
T12n0346_p0176b12║曰。
T12n0346_p0176b13║　今此所現如是相　　不住虛空及山海
T12n0346_p0176b14║　乃至不住諸地方　　以宿因故如是住
T12n0346_p0176b15║爾時彼四十人咸作是念。如來是大法王。無
T12n0346_p0176b16║實業障可得。我等互起惡心自相謀害。今對
T12n0346_p0176b17║佛前宜應懺悔。作是念已。俱白佛言世尊。我
T12n0346_p0176b18║等先起惡心互欲殺害。是故今時各各懺悔。
T12n0346_p0176b19║爾時世尊。即為如應宣說法要。彼四十人皆
T12n0346_p0176b20║得智證三昧。是時有三百二十萬眾生。遠塵
T12n0346_p0176b21║離垢得法眼淨。智上。以此因緣。當知諸佛如
T12n0346_p0176b22║來。舉足下足皆是神通方便作大利益。實無
T12n0346_p0176b23║少分業障可得。又復如來已離諸病。何故一
T12n0346_p0176b24║時。遣諸苾芻詣耆婆所。求青蓮華蕊汁要當
T12n0346_p0176b25║何用。所謂我於一時與五百苾芻。結夏未久
T12n0346_p0176b26║住於林間。是時有修左囉摩婆尾迦行者。住
T12n0346_p0176b27║彼林側。是人忽有病生。不能進止不能調伏。
T12n0346_p0176b28║即於我所求以妙藥而救其苦。我時作是思
T12n0346_p0176b29║惟今不應知是病所宜。何以故。我若知其病
T12n0346_p0176c01║所宜者。後末世中破壞聖心。于今設何方便
T12n0346_p0176c02║得藥與療。但當令此諸苾芻眾為求其藥。作
T12n0346_p0176c03║是念已。即令諸苾芻詣耆婆所。求青蓮華蕊
T12n0346_p0176c04║汁與療其病。是諸苾芻雖承佛旨。而未即
T12n0346_p0176c05║行。爾時淨居天子。見諸苾芻已白言。尊者。
T12n0346_p0176c06║汝等當如佛旨求如是藥。為作救療勿求別
T12n0346_p0176c07║藥。令彼服已而趣命終。諸苾芻言。我等若行
T12n0346_p0176c08║求藥違佛戒法。我等寧自喪命。終不違佛戒
T12n0346_p0176c09║法而行。淨居天子復白諸苾芻言。如來是大
T12n0346_p0176c10║法王。以利益心猶故現相服藥除病。汝等今
T12n0346_p0176c11║時何不如教。當行求藥當行求藥。淨居天子
T12n0346_p0176c12║如是三白已。時諸苾芻息疑悔心。即詣耆婆
T12n0346_p0176c13║所求如是藥。得是藥已授彼病人服已除差。
T12n0346_p0176c14║智上。以是因緣我為利益故。乃遣苾芻求如
T12n0346_p0176c15║是藥。而非如來有諸病惱。又復如來諸福蘊
T12n0346_p0176c16║中最上最勝。何故最先執持應器。入城乞食。
T12n0346_p0176c17║所謂如來已離諸障無[暇-日]食想。但為愍念後
T12n0346_p0176c18║末世中有諸苾芻少福德者。雖入王城聚落
T12n0346_p0176c19║持缽乞食。而不能得乃生退屈。不能長時勤
T12n0346_p0176c20║行乞食。為令此等苾芻當於爾時作是思惟。
T12n0346_p0176c21║如來大師。於諸世間福聚最勝。猶尚隨宜持
T12n0346_p0176c22║缽乞食。況復我今末世苾芻。薄福德故乞食
T12n0346_p0176c23║所難不應生苦。但當行乞雖復少得而亦為
T12n0346_p0176c24║足。智上。如來在世行乞食者。又為隨順作利
T12n0346_p0176c25║益故。所謂令諸婆羅門長者居士乃至一切人
T12n0346_p0176c26║民。以佛威神所加持故。於現世中飲食豐足。
T12n0346_p0176c27║不值飢饉之苦。何以故。如來在世不令諸魔
T12n0346_p0176c28║作飢饉難。是故如來以善方便隨順世間。雖
T12n0346_p0176c29║受[暇-日]食不生愛著。不令婆羅門長者乃至一
T12n0346_p0177a01║切人民及餘諸天子眾等。起如是念。沙門瞿
T12n0346_p0177a02║曇於其[暇-日]食愛樂作意。如來為令彼等不生
T12n0346_p0177a03║念故。於晝夜中與苾芻眾。常住三昧依止一
T12n0346_p0177a04║心。寂而無動無高無下。前引於後後如於前。
T12n0346_p0177a05║正念相應於一時中我住三昧。有七萬天子
T12n0346_p0177a06║發清淨心禮敬於我。我即從三昧出為其如
T12n0346_p0177a07║應宣說法要。彼諸天子於諸法中得法眼淨。
T12n0346_p0177a08║由此因緣。是故當知。諸佛如來現行乞食。但
T12n0346_p0177a09║以善巧方便作利益故。又復一時有贊左摩
T12n0346_p0177a10║拏[口*縛]迦。於佛如來而生惡意當墮地獄。佛為
T12n0346_p0177a11║救護其事云何。所謂如來怨親平等無復少
T12n0346_p0177a12║分障累可得。但為眾生安樂利益。我於爾時
T12n0346_p0177a13║為欲救護彼贊左摩拏[口*縛]迦。故以我威神力
T12n0346_p0177a14║令其得見。兢伽沙數世界諸佛如來。是諸如
T12n0346_p0177a15║來大圓鏡智中現彼所作業。以諸如來神通
T12n0346_p0177a16║力故。令此摩拏[口*縛]迦見自業已。即生悔心作
T12n0346_p0177a17║如是言。今於此中真實顯現。乃自思惟如來
T12n0346_p0177a18║一切白法具足。云何我今但造惡業。於白法
T12n0346_p0177a19║分而不能得。彼摩拏[口*縛]迦。作是念時。即得清
T12n0346_p0177a20║淨正白梵行。於其夢中見佛現身。所有先起
T12n0346_p0177a21║惡意之罪皆悉銷滅。命終已後免地獄報。當
T12n0346_p0177a22║知皆是如來神力而為救護。何以故。所謂如
T12n0346_p0177a23║來。以大悲方便不捨眾生故。又復一時有孫
T12n0346_p0177a24║那利梵志。於祇陀林中彼以因緣而斷其命。
T12n0346_p0177a25║佛時不知云何名為一切智耶。所謂如來無
T12n0346_p0177a26║礙正智皆悉具足無不知見。如來隨諸色相
T12n0346_p0177a27║神通等事。皆以威神建立。今此孫那利梵志
T12n0346_p0177a28║者。佛觀是人壽量已盡決定命終。亦非如來
T12n0346_p0177a29║不能了知。又欲以是因緣令諸外道攝伏其
T12n0346_p0177b01║心止息自罪。
T12n0346_p0177b02║爾時如來以加持力。於七夜中不入聚落。是
T12n0346_p0177b03║時有六十俱胝天人。過七夜已往詣佛所。到
T12n0346_p0177b04║佛所已乃為隨應宣說法要。即時各得智證
T12n0346_p0177b05║三昧。又復何緣。如來昔曾於三月中食馬麥
T12n0346_p0177b06║耶。所謂如來欲令婆羅門長者等生希有心。
T12n0346_p0177b07║又為成就利益事故。所以者何。我於一時
T12n0346_p0177b08║與五百苾芻見五百馬。我觀彼馬宿世善根
T12n0346_p0177b09║今已成熟。何以故。此五百馬於前前世。已曾
T12n0346_p0177b10║為人親近供養先佛如來。於先佛所發菩提
T12n0346_p0177b11║心。後因值遇彼惡知識。破壞善法造諸惡業。
T12n0346_p0177b12║以是報應今受馬身。又復此五百馬。往昔曾
T12n0346_p0177b13║於日藏菩薩所發大誓願。以其宿世大願力
T12n0346_p0177b14║故。今復值遇日藏菩薩。以菩提法方便教化
T12n0346_p0177b15║令得度脫。是五百馬以菩薩威力及自願力
T12n0346_p0177b16║故。各能思念宿生中事。智上。我觀彼馬有是
T12n0346_p0177b17║因緣。生悲愍心欲為化度。乃與苾芻往彼馬
T12n0346_p0177b18║所。以所食麥即取食之。我自食已而復授彼
T12n0346_p0177b19║五百苾芻。時五百馬以宿善根力故。見佛及
T12n0346_p0177b20║苾芻眾食是馬麥。即時禮佛及諸苾芻。彼五
T12n0346_p0177b21║百馬過三月已。皆悉命終生兜率天。即從彼
T12n0346_p0177b22║天來詣佛所。恭敬尊重瞻禮供養。佛即隨應
T12n0346_p0177b23║為說法要。是諸天子悉於阿耨多羅三藐三
T12n0346_p0177b24║菩提。住不退轉。如來為令此五百馬成就如
T12n0346_p0177b25║是大利益事故食馬麥。智上。當知所有一切
T12n0346_p0177b26║飲食。如來食者皆為最上食。假使三千大千
T12n0346_p0177b27║世界土及乳糖。如來食者於是二種。等無差
T12n0346_p0177b28║別皆成上味。何以故。如來舌根常得上味。是
T12n0346_p0177b29║大人相以是緣故。當知諸佛如來凡所受食
T12n0346_p0177c01║皆為最上食。我時謂阿難言。汝捨轉輪王位
T12n0346_p0177c02║出家修道。於諸眾生起悲愍心。汝今食此馬
T12n0346_p0177c03║麥而得何味。阿難白佛言世尊。今此馬麥甚
T12n0346_p0177c04║為希有。我雖生於王宮昔未曾得此最上味。
T12n0346_p0177c05║是時阿難食馬麥已。於七日中得大喜樂。智
T12n0346_p0177c06║上。我時與彼五百苾芻。夏安居已各還所止。
T12n0346_p0177c07║是時五百苾芻眾中有四十苾芻。食是馬麥
T12n0346_p0177c08║雖於其味作清淨想。還復思念諸苦糲食。如
T12n0346_p0177c09║是思念已於七夜中。各得阿羅漢果。智上。當
T12n0346_p0177c10║知如來雖食馬麥實非宿障報應之事。但為
T12n0346_p0177c11║眾生作大利益。又令諸修淨戒沙門婆羅門
T12n0346_p0177c12║生希有心。復令一切眾生如說能行。當知如
T12n0346_p0177c13║來一切最勝。諸所施作不壞法行。又復何緣。
T12n0346_p0177c14║如來一時謂迦葉言。我患背痛汝可為我說
T12n0346_p0177c15║七覺支法。此因緣者。所謂爾時有八千天子
T12n0346_p0177c16║而共集會。是諸天子先於佛法僧寶未生淨
T12n0346_p0177c17║信。當於爾時暫聞迦葉說七覺支法。而彼信
T12n0346_p0177c18║心漸能開悟。即詣迦葉所。迦葉重復廣為分
T12n0346_p0177c19║別七覺支法。是八千天子。即時各得智證三
T12n0346_p0177c20║昧。乃自思惟眾生有病不能聽法。若聞法者
T12n0346_p0177c21║病得銷除。如來是大法王猶故現病。令大迦
T12n0346_p0177c22║葉說七覺支法。我等云何不樂聽法。彼諸天
T12n0346_p0177c23║子作是思惟已即於佛法心得清淨。以是利
T12n0346_p0177c24║益因故。如來乃現背痛。令大迦葉說七覺支
T12n0346_p0177c25║法。當知皆是善巧方便。實非宿障報應之事。
T12n0346_p0177c26║又復何緣。昔有莊嚴幢婆羅門。於一時中向
T12n0346_p0177c27║佛世尊發不善語。佛於爾時不生恚礙。所謂
T12n0346_p0177c28║如來於天人四眾大集會中。已得忍力具足
T12n0346_p0177c29║隨觀諸境不生恚礙。如來爾時於諸眾生。住
T12n0346_p0178a01║平等心救護心安住心柔軟心勇猛心。如來
T12n0346_p0178a02║住是諸心時。有四千眾生發阿耨多羅三藐
T12n0346_p0178a03║三菩提心。以是利益因故。如來乃於莊嚴幢
T12n0346_p0178a04║婆羅門不生恚礙。當知皆是如來善巧方便。
T12n0346_p0178a05║實非宿障報應之事。復次智上。我念昔為菩
T12n0346_p0178a06║薩時。彼提婆達多在在處處常隨於我。何以
T12n0346_p0178a07║故。彼提婆達多雖來我所伺求嬈害。而能令
T12n0346_p0178a08║我圓滿六波羅蜜多。能令無量眾生得大利
